It's not at the rate of Obama's campaign, but Hillary has raised $3 million in less than 24 hrs.

from Taylor Marsh: http://www.taylormarsh.com/


IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS...

Clinton had a MASSIVE day of online fundraising blowing past the $3 million dollar - 3 day goal.

There's an email appeal going out tomorrow for $6 million in 72 hours.

THOUSANDS of NEW donors flooding in.

Clinton keeping pace with Obama and MoveOn.

Hillary's loan to be paid back by supporters in 48 hours after Super Tuesday.

below is an unverified excerpt of Clinton's email... ..

“Now THAT is what I call two good days. Not only did we celebrate huge victories for Hillary all over the country on Super Tuesday, but you matched our success with a breathtaking show of support. You exceeded our $3 million goal in less than 24 hours. Incredible. So we're doubling it to $6 million in 72 hours because of your amazing response.”

1. Congratulations Hillary supporters.

[Window]

30. Yes, me too.

As an Obama supporter, I felt bad for her after all the dumping yesterday. I wouldn't want that to happen to any candidate. She'll be okay.


Peace:thumbsup:

[rodeodance]

2. Thanks for the post

[bigtree]

31. no problem. we need more of these to counter the hype here

been lookin' . . .

[Dogmudgeon]

3. But ... but ... only KKKorpr0ations donate to Hitlery!

I guess Obama can't claim divinity based on raising big money any more.

--p!

[rodeodance]

5. yeah--that Obamababy lie gets posted-tossed out on a regular basis!

[rodeodance]

4. Give it some RECs

[bigtree]

33. Echo, echo

recs please . . .

[K Gardner]

6. OMG!! But what about the bridges and roads and people in New Orleans??!! Where are the

DUers who were so outraged at the money people were giving to Obama? I'd like to hear from them on this.

[cali]

7. Of course she did. All the dumb posts by my fellow Obama supporters

about how she's desperate are utter garbage.

[bigtree]

9. the attention might be the spark her fundraising needed

I dug into my meager account this morning . . .

[golddigger]

37. Yep, it made me donate to her campaign yesterday Cali...

Oh, btw good thoughts for you and your candidate. If he is the Democratic nominee I would be proud to vote for him in the GE.:hi:

[cali]

52. aw, thanks

If Clinton is nominee, I think I'll get a thrill from casting such a historic vote for her.

p.s. I love some of you guys. It's nice to feel that way.

[Tennessee Gal]

8. Just donated again!

[abburdlen]

10. K&R

No matter who you support, it's good to see how many people are willing to open their wallets and get involved in taking back the White house :)

[Hailtothechimp]

11. Obama: $6Mil + in 24 hours /Hillary: that much (maybe) in 3 days?

And the Hillary people are crowing about this?? Please explain.

[bigtree]

14. enough money is enough

Whatever amount less than Obama she had in funds, she WON Super Tuesday.

[russian33]

16. do you read well?

she set the goal of 3mil in 3 days...and blew past it in the first 24 hours
so now its up to 6mil in 3 days, which i'm sure will also be blown out of the water
and since when did 6mil in 3 days became a bad fundraising number?

[Hailtothechimp]

19. I read very well, thank you.

Obama raised over $6 million in the past 24 hours.

Senator Clinton hopes to raise that much (nobody was talking about her $3 million raised in my post, but your exceptional reading skills must have told you that). But she has given herself 3 days to do it. And that's if it can be done. This explains the (maybe) that I put in the subject line. I have my doubts about this.

If the Hillary supporters want to pony up to help her pay off Mark Penn, then let them do it.

[leftynyc]

27. Well obviously whoever

gets the most money deserves to win - right? Stupid argument.

[northzax]

32. well, since Hillary's supporters

are much poorer, on average, than Obama's (take a look at the demographics, professionals with college degrees are much more likely to be Obama supporters, those are people much more willing and able to charge $200-$500 online in a flush of enthusiasm; Hillary's supporters are more likely to be blue collar and on shakier economic ground.) it makes sense he is out fundraising her at this point. Same reason Obama wins Caucuses and Hillary wins Primaries (as a general rule, I believe this holds true except for Connecticut, Missouri (where the margins were razor thin) and the deep South for Obama and Nevada for Hillary) caucuses come down to people able to drop everything, hire a sitter and go somewhere for a few hours, Obama wins. When people have all day to vote when it fits their schedule, they support Hillary.

for example: Kansas. 32 delegates, Obama won with 27,000 votes. a total of 35,000 cast (give or take a hundred) or roughly 1,000 votes per delegate.

Arkansas: 47 delegates, 300,000 votes cast. or roughly 6,300 votes per delegate.

Minnesota: 72 delegates up for grabs, 200,000 votes cast. 2700 votes per delegate.

Massachusetts: 93 Delegates, 1.3 million votes cast, 14,000 votes per delegate.

see a trend? the more people are voting, the better Hillary does.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. I Just Made A Small Contribution

I literally have about five credit cards with $50,000 of credit and zero balances that I have in a drawer to keep my FICO scores up and for a rainy day...

Should I donate the $2,300.00 max?

A couple of years ago I was in the position to do it, not now...

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

28. Do whatever you can and Thanks!

[rodeodance]

40. Give what you feel you can. Just a little will give her/campaign a psychological boost

I think.

While it is important for her is get the money at the beginning--i do not think she wants people to go beyond their means. just my opine.

[tishaLA]

13. Good for Sen Clinton

Just keep it out of Mark Penn's hands.

[MoonRiver]

15. Excellent news!

She's got to keep the emails coming! People will help if they know she needs it! :kick:

[1awake]

17. I want Hillary to lose,

but not due to a lack of funds. Congratz people!

[K Gardner]

18. But.. Hillary supporters.. what about this Hillary supporters concerns re: fundraising....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4452230

[bigtree]

20. you don't really give a shit, right? This is like a game for you.

go play somewhere else.

[niceypoo]

21. Hillary has steadily raised money for a long time

Nothing new there.

[bigtree]

24. right. The $5mil loaned last month before the largest set of contests, was on top of other donations

which have continued, and accelerated after her WIN on Super Tuesday.

[libertee]

22. we're doing fine!

:)

[thetaoofterri]

23. I just committed to donating every month until the election.

I had already sent a contribution a couple of weeks ago, but every time I read the snarky posts by some of the Obama supporters my blood boils and this morning I hit my limit. We will have to cut back in other places to meet the commitment, but that's okay. This is more important.

[soundguy]

25. I am with you!

This is the slow season for me and of course taxes are due...But I am on my way to donate right now. These people have pissed me off to my limit.

[adapa]

26. prior to yesterdays news I didn't think she needed money.

now that I know she does, i'll be a regular doner

[bigtree]

29. that's a good point

I had been listening and identifying with my man Edwards' complaint about 'well-financed' opponents. I had no idea she needed an influx of cash. I expect though, that, since the loan was last month, this month, after WINNING Super Tuesday, there should have been an automatic surge in donations and support.

[girl gone mad]

34. Good for her!

She made a smart financial decision, unlike that supposed business genius Romney whose been flushing his kids' inheritance down the toilet.

[bigtree]

35. it got her a win on Super Tuesday, and helped her hold her lead

[whistle]

36. It is now nearly $7.2 million and climbing

[bigtree]

42. do you have that report?

[whistle]

61. Here is the link and it is now over $7.5 million from supporters

http://my.barackobama.com/page/contribute_c/sincefeb5_email/graphic

[bigtree]

60. oh, I get it. You were promoting Obama's total. congratulations!

[ProSense]

38. How do we know Taylor Marsh isn't lying? n/t

[golddigger]

39. How do we know the Obama campaign isn't lying? n/t

[rodeodance]

41. go poop on another thread!

[bigtree]

45. here's a USA Today account of the e-mail

from USA Today: http://blogs.usatoday.com/onpolitics/2008/02/for-clinton-mon.html

. . . one of the odder twists in this on-going story was in our e-mail inbox this morning: A message from the Clinton campaign to read this post at the blog of liberal radio host Taylor Marsh.

There, Marsh says the Clinton campaign raised $3 million yesterday, is going to aim for $6 million in 72 hours and that "Hillary's loan (is) to be paid back by supporters in 48 hours after Super Tuesday."

So, without announcing all that on its own, the Clinton campaign is pointing to Marsh's post and giving her news it's stamp of approval.

[bigtree]

43. how do we know what your real game is here in trying to demoralize would be supporters

It's a despicable attempt, by the way. Can't you find ANYTHING other than money raised to promote your candidate?

[Raffi Ella]

44. Awesome News.

Americans are fighting the good fight for Hillary Clinton :patriot:

[Occam Bandage]

46. So, er, is this "cult-like behavior" and "a waste of money" too? Or is that just when Obama does it?

[bigtree]

47. what a strange reply. Is there nothing left for you to promote for your candidate?

Other than money raised?

[Occam Bandage]

50. Why strange? Plenty of Hillary supporters were spamming that shit across DU when the

story was Obama's astounding fundraising. Yet now we're back to fundraising being a good thing. Hypocrisy abounds.

Speaking of which, insinuating that all we've got is money because I referenced money is hypocritical as well, since this is a thread you started to brag about Hillary's fundraising.

[bigtree]

56. you should know well that this effort of mine is in response to the attempts to demoralize

Clinton supporters who read here by making it look like she's broke. But, you go on . . . We're fine in the Clinton camp. We're almost flush again and ready to compete in the states ahead from our position in the lead. Good luck with your candidate.

[Occam Bandage]

57. And this post of mine is simply pointing out the hypocrisy of the attempts to demoralize

Obama supporters by spinning fundraising as a negative.

[bigtree]

58. the fundraising is fine, and an indication of support

but the money itself isn't, shouldn't be, the main message coming out of the camp. Now, DU certainly isn't the 'campaign' for either candidate, but it would be nice if we got some perspective on this issue. Hillary hasn't run out of cash. Her campaign hasn't stalled. There will likely be a surge in donations following the reports of her loan to her campaign last month. All of this has been hashed out, yet there are still some here who want to portray the deficit as something associated with her appeal, character, or potential. It just make sense for her supporters to point out the contradictions in criticism on these points, since there are the realities that:

1. A campaign flush with cash isn't necessarily going to be a successful one. A campaign struggling with cash isn't necessarily going to be an unsuccessful one.

2. Nothing about the cash raised says anything about the candidate's position or worth surrounding the issues and concerns we debate here. Is the effect going to result from the impact of the money raised or from the merits of the candidate's performance? I don't think that many of Edwards' supporters, who now support Obama, would think he was a lesser candidate because of his money shortfalls.

3. There is a contradiction between wanting money to have less of an impact on the system and celebrating it from the perspective of a winning campaign. It's got to be a trip to have the winning campaign represented in the room where campaign finance reform is being hashed out. Why fix it if it ain't broke for you?

4. If there is some serious shortfall in the Clinton campaign's treasury, it went to a good cause; her WIN on Super Tuesday.

[Abacus]

48. Keeping pace?

Clinton: $3M
Obama: $7.2M

[bigtree]

49. other reports say that she's up to $7mil

I wouldn't bank on the propaganda from the Obama campaign for news about Clinton's

[mkultra]

53. well,

The super Tuesday obama win with more delegates is something we can promote.

[bigtree]

54. look again, only NBC agreed with your assessment last night

from this morning's USA Today:

In the all-important race for delegates to win the Democratic nomination, Hillary Rodham Clinton won 641 this week and Barack Obama won 633, CBS reported Wednesday morning.

No, wait: NBC declared that Obama won the lion's share of delegates in Super Tuesday balloting, 838 to Clinton's 834.

Obama was more optimistic: He gave himself 847 delegates to Clinton's 834.

By the end of the day, CNN put Clinton's overall total at 1,113 delegates to Obama's 963.

Meanwhile, the Associated Press count had Clinton at 1,045 and Obama at 960. AP, which USA TODAY uses as the official count, awarded Clinton 784 delegates in Tuesday's voting and Obama 764.
