Has Obama Raised $30M In Primary Funds This Quarter?
By
It's possible.... his campaign isn't saying either way. Raising $10M more than Clinton is impressive -- almost as impressive as a 250K growth of one's donor base.
The fundraising story of this election is about the Democrats, generally, and how they've been able to build a massive, web-inspired donor base that rivals and in many cases exceeds what the Republicans built with direct mail.
Let's also stipulate that, while many in the press, including, occasionally, this here column, wonder whether the excitement that greeted Obama's entrance into the race has fizzled, the size and direction of his 2nd quarter haul gives one a reason to pause and review the physics of this race.
