$10 million

Wednesday:

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who has trailed rival Barack Obama in fundraising, is set to bring in some $10 million (5.05 million pounds) in the 24 hours since she won Pennsylvania's primary election, her campaign said on Wednesday.

February 10:

The Clinton campaign today announced that it raised $10 million online from more than 100,000 donors since the polls closed on Super Tuesday.

Spin? Micah Sifry thinks so.

Update: Micah updates:

Daou confirmed for me that as of this morning, the Clinton campaign had tallied about 100,000 donations since Tuesday night, of which about 80% was from new donors. I retract whatever skepticism I had about the NYT and WP reports above, given these new numbers about total donors.

Update: And Micah updates again:

[G]iven how funky this stuff is, I'm thinking that all of us should start referring to claims about money raised online with the word "alleged" as a modifier. As in, yesterday, Clinton "allegedly raised $10 million" and Obama "allegedly raised $XX." Or, the word "claimed" as in "the McCain campaign claimed to have raised $YY."

Because we really don't know, and we won't know until weeks or months after the fact, unless the campaigns start opening up and post their actual donor data (names, city/state, amount) in real time, and in searchable form, the way Ron Paul did. There's no technological reason why they can't do this, by the way, and I've argued that it would help their fundraising more than it might hurt them (in terms of letting their opponent know some deep dark secrets about who is supporting whom).
