This is freaking blowing my mind:
milestone of sorts was reached earlier this year, when Obama, the Illinois senator whose revolutionary online fundraising has overwhelmed Clinton, filed an electronic fundraising report so large it could not be processed by popular basic spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel 2003 and Lotus 1-2-3.
Not that Excel is that robust, but still, when the FEC can't count your donors for the sheer volume, that's a pretty good sign that we are in a new political universe and nothing will ever be the same.
We know who to thank for that, don't we? (That would be us!)
And, kids, this article is talking about reports from back in January. Many, like myself for instance, haven't donated to him yet, preferring to give to local candidates (like Andrew Rice) who need all the help they can get.
My only worry is that this news will make some think that he won't need any money, and won't donate.
Once the general is underway, the Republican 527's will take every drop of moolah we can generate to combat (along with much on the ground work, of course).
So while this IS good news, let's not let it go to our heads!
