Obama has $4 Million since the polls closed yesterday...going to raise $5 million by tonight

[TeamJordan23]

UPDATE! We've raised over 3 million!
http://my.barackobama.com/...

Update 2: Campaign ownership is a fundamental part of what it means to participate in the American political system. Everyone who is afraid to donate lots of money, don't even worry about that. If all you have is 3 dollars, Obama needs you too. Supporters need to show the media and the rest of the country that Obama is made up of individuals like you and me.

Also, if I get any more updates (or if any of you get any more updates) on how much we've raised, I'll let you all know!

Update 3: 3.5 million! This one comes from junglered1! Its from the email with the donate button telling exactly how much money has been contributed. GREAT JOB GUYS!

Update 4: 3.6 million, almost! We're set to get to 4 million possibly before the end of the night if it keeps rising this fast!

Sorry, I can't keep up with the updates. Money is just rapidly coming in...

12. Clinton has raised the MOST from lobbyists - more than ANYONE

TWICE the amount in 2007 than the next candidate (McCain).

Clinton Gets Most Lobbyist Money, McCain Most Help

Feb. 4 (Bloomberg) -- Democrat Hillary Clinton has raised more money from lobbyists than any other presidential candidate while Republican John McCain has more of them assisting his campaign.

4. Why can't Hillary raise that kind of money?

[jenmito]

7. Her big donors maxed out already. Remember-she thought she'd have won the nomination by now.

Oh, well. Just more bad judgement on her part. :shrug:

[bigdarryl]

22. DAMN!!! Hillary another bad judgement you never assume your going to win

[jenmito]

5. And a whole $25 of it came from ME!

:hi:

9. I see you had to edit your OP to reflect the increasing amounts of money he's raising!

GOBAMA!!! :bounce:

[More Than A Feeling]

11. That's a pretty clever hook...

tying the fundraising to Hillary's loan.

[skooooo]

13. I gave him $50...

...Gobama!

[hedgehog]

14. Forget Hillary, let's see the Republicans try to match this! nt

[Khaotic]

16. Gimme a hell yeah!

The truth has a way of running through your veins so deep you can feel it warm your toes.

After 9/11 they say the terrorists woke a sleeping giant.

Now, today, after Super Tuesday, all the negative spew and naysayers have ignited the fuses of millions of people who have heard the truth and are reaching for the future.

Before close of business Friday, Obama might raise more between Super Tuesday and the weekend than what Hillary raised in the entire month of January.

No PACs, no lobbists, just $$$ from fellow Americans who are saying, YES WE CAN!

Peace.

[jenmito]

17. HELL YEAH!

:hi:

[geiger]

18. well, after spending way too much in local elections and had sworn off any more "investments,"

I sent in my first hundred this afternoon. We'll see where it goes from here in oHIo.....

[jgraz]

19. Holy shit.

After going through a one-day fundraiser with Edwards, that is a damn impressive number.

Maybe he can loan some to Hillary. :evilgrin:

[IndyOp]

20. Thanks to your overwhelming support, our servers are a bit overwhelmed right now.

Life is tough in Obamaland -- too many people trying to log on to donate $$ all at one time.

:evilgrin:

[IndyOp]

21. 4.5 million as of 9:00 p.m. EST on 2/6 -- that is since polls closed on 2/5.

4.56 million in 24 hours?

23. I watched $100,000 come in while I was on the phone with my mom.

She has gone from being non-committal last fall to saying now that if she can't vote for Obama next fall, she's not voting!

[caligirl]

24. Ah, $5million in the morning is nothing for this guy, Terry McAuliffe is so screwed.

[caligirl]

25. 4.89 Million in 24 hours! Unbelievable porobably a new record.
