Obama Raises $5.8 Million on Line After Super Tuesday (Update2)
By Julianna Goldman
Feb. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama
raised almost $6 million within one day after the Feb. 5 voting
contests, all of which came from online donations.
Obama's campaign manager David Plouffe said in a letter to supporters
that $3 million was raised the evening after Tuesday's primaries and
caucuses. A live ticker attached to his e-mail, showing donations,
recorded $5.8 million as of 11:30 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday. By 9:30
a.m. today, the total was $7.1 million, according to the Obama
campaign Web site.
Plouffe said more than 650,000 people have contributed to the
Illinois senator's campaign.
The announcement came the same day that Senator Hillary Clinton of
New York said she loaned her presidential campaign $5 million last
month. Shortly after announcing the loan, Clinton sent out a
fundraising e-mail seeking to raise $3 million in three days.
Clinton's loan ``shows the effect of the success of Obama's
fundraising in January, which stretched the Clinton campaign's
resources, and even then her campaign was unable to match him,'' said
Anthony Corrado, a professor of government at Colby College in
Waterville, Maine.
``The Clinton campaign just announced that Hillary and Bill Clinton
injected $5 million of their personal fortune into her campaign a few
days ago,'' Plouffe wrote. ``Thanks to you, we have raised more than
$3 million since the polls closed on February 5th. But we have no
choice -- we must match their $5 million right now.''
Record January
Clinton raised around $13 million in January, excluding the $5
million loan, campaign spokesman Phil Singer said. Obama, by contrast,
collected $32 million, the most ever raised by a Democrat in January
of an election year, $28 million of which was raised in online
donations, the campaign said.
Clinton won eight states holding primaries and caucuses Tuesday,
including New York, California and New Jersey. Illinois Senator Obama
won 13 states, including Illinois and Missouri.
Plouffe told reporters on Tuesday that Obama's fundraising
counterbalances Clinton's advantages of name recognition and political
infrastructure, allowing the campaign to remain competitive and to
advertise in states through April.
``We think we're going to have the money we need to wage vigorous
campaigns,'' he said.
