Taking a break from studying, I have been checking out the latest of the lefty blogs. There is something I haven't seen much of lately, ever since Obama supporters on dKos were touting his post-Super Tuesday money-bomb... Covered most noteably by Steven R.
$7.6M ain't all bad, but HRC has raised $10M.
More after the jump...
There was an interesting back and forth going on for a couple of days... Well, maybe only really one day. But after the Obama camp released its January numbers, then came word that Hillary pulled a Romney-lite. Then, the money started pouring in for her. $6M, then $8M, all the way to $10M!
Man, compared to that pauper's change Obama has raised since Super Tuesday, she is really kickin his ass in fundraising. But then, there is this to note from TPM:
A couple days ago, the Obama camp stopped releasing their daily totals, so no more daily comparisons...
So here we are, almost a week away from Super Tuesday, and fresh off a 4-0 coast-to-coast road trip, and the best headline Team Clinton can get for themselves is the news that in 4 days, they raised a hair over what Obama raised in 24 hours. Add to that, the shake-up, and things aren't looking good for Hillary. But all this makes me wonder...
Just how much HAS Obama gotten since Tuesday?
Is this part of the Obama camp's end-game strategy? Let them know that after all the noise she made about $10M, what happens if he has another $30M month? Or a $20M week? or a $10M DAY? While this may be wishful thinking, I don't think the lack of response from the Obama camp has anything to do with money NOT coming in. I'll be waiting to hear...
In the meantime, I've taken too much time away from my books... On to the Masters!
