Obama Campaign Has Raised Over $4 Million -- Since Polls Closed Yesterday!

By Greg Sargent - February 6, 2008, 8:13PM

This is nutso. The Obama campaign's response to the news that Hillary lent her campaign $5 million last month is to highlight the fact that they raised nearly that sum in the brief period that's passed ... since the polls closed yesterday!

In that time span, the Obama camp has raised: $4, 252, 184.

This highlights, yet again, a key emerging factor in the race: The Hillary camp faces the prospect of a weeks-long contest, perhaps leading all the way to the convention, during which they could find themselves dramatically outspent by their rivals.

1. Holy cow!!!

:wow:

[skooooo]

2. I have to wonder if Howard Dean isn't behind....

...this? or at least Obama learned from what Dean did in 2004.

[THUNDER HANDS]

4. Dean was the prototype, Obama is the finished version

Obama is Dean version 2.0

[skooooo]

7. Exactly!!!

Ding ding ding. It just dawned on me. Dean tapped into this in '04, but it blew up in his face.

10. Well there is the matter of the

Democratic record holder of the largest single day online fund-rasing total: $5.7 million:

The Kerry email/donor list seems to have given the Obama campaign a big boost from smaller donors. Unless Hillary can figure out a way to tap into these donors or a new pool of financial donors, she may be in trouble.

Although When I contributed (a few minutes ago), the total was $4,528,987

[skooooo]

9. i've donated twice now...first time was back in early Fall '07

Someone called me blind from NY or somewhere to talk to me about Obama, so I listened to him. He started talking to me about how Obama reminded so many people of Bobby Kennedy in that he made them feel hopeful.

After that I lost interest in a while, and for a short period was more for Hillary. Not now. I want CHANGE.
