Obama Sets New Online Record

By Jose Antonio Vargas

Sen. Barack Obama has set a new online record, raising more than $28 million online in one month.

To put this into context, Howard Dean, known as the first Internet candidate, raised $27 million -- during his whole campaign.

A spokesman said $28 of the $32 million that Obama raised last month came over the Internet. Ninety percent of the online donations were $100 or less; forty percent were $25 or less.

In January, more than 10,000 people gave between $5 and $10 on the Internet, he said.

the damage Kerry's endorsement and his worthless e-mail list was supposed to cost?

10. Yeah, well...

I thought about pointing it out, then decided, whatever, let them continue to think Kerry's useless. :)

2. Obama is my first choice, now.

I was sort of favoring Hillary Clinton over Obama, but now that I've learned more about them, and heard them speak, I like Obama best.

Just wanted to tell everyone.
