Clinton's Raised $27M This Quarter... About $20M For The Primary
By
Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign gobbled up more than $27M this quarter, her campaign said today.
It's an impressive sum befitting a frontrunner. A campaign spokesman said the finance team did not yet have a clear breakdown as to how much of that money was raised for the pre-nomination period, although the spokesman said the ratio would be similar to the first quarter, when Clinton raised roughly $20M for the primaries, about 6 million for the general election, and transferred about $10M from her Senate account.
That primary number is the key.
Howard Wolfson, the campaign's communications director, wrote in a memorandum posted to Clinton's website that "while that figure is record setting, we do expect Senator Obama to significantly outraise us this quarter."
The Clinton campaign released its 3rd quarter estimate on the same day that Obama's campaign told reporters it expected to recieve donations from more than 250,000 donors this fundraising period. By announcing their tally before the quarter offiically ends this weekend, Clinton's campaign may take the edge off news that Obama's campaign collected more money overall.
