"Even before all the Super Tuesday votes were counted, Obama began airing advertisements in Nebraska, Virginia, the District of Columbia, Maryland and Maine — the next round of primary and caucus states — before Clinton did.
His campaign has raised $2.2 million in the past 24 hours, sources say"
The implications are stunning here, guys. Hillary is loaning money to herself, while Obama is rocketing ahead in campaign contributions from individual donors.
"According to a study by The Campaign Finance Institute, a nonpartisan organization that tracks political giving, only about a third of the donors who gave Obama $200 or more had given the maximum.
In contrast, Clinton raised about half of her money from donors who gave the maximum. "

Keep donating, everybody!
Also, if you feel like it, you can Digg it here, and don't forget to recommend.
Get the information out. Tell all of your friends. This ship has only started to sail!
UPDATE! We've raised over 3 million!

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!
Update 5: 3.7 million. I have never, ever seen a candidate get so much money so quickly. We're smoking, guys!
Update 6: 3.9 million! We are almost there. I can hear the cries for change in America! If any of you want to watch the stats life, although they jump around a tad bit, here: http://my.barackobama.com/...
Update 7: 4.1 million! Oh my god guys, who could have EVER imagined we'd break 4 million in the single day after super tuesday? We can hit 5 million and make Hillary's loan do nothing but help our campaign, canceling it out.
This campaign is built on YOUR backs!
Update 8: 4.25 million and counting... can it get to 5 million? Who knows!
Update 9: 4.4 million. We are about to beat Hillary's little injection of money into her own campaign!
Update 10: 4.6 million... 400,000 more dollars left before we pass up Hillary's self-donation =)
Someone else post a new diary, and I will instruct everyone to migrate there. This one is getting long!
