The $25 Million Dollar Man
Most had suspected Barack Obama to come in second in the fundraising race. It was almost impossible and it would have taken a miracle for him to come in first.
Still, falling only one million dollars below the former First Lady and twice elected Senator from New York is absolutely amazing. It debunks the whole theory that Clinton is running away with the nomination.
Obama received money from 100,000 donors, $23.5 million of the $25 million raised is strictly for the primary. Hillary hasn't released her amount for the primary, leading to the possibility that Obama will actually technically be on top in fundraising.
With Edwards gaining on Clinton in New Hampshire and leading in some polls in Iowa, this is clearly a three-way race. With Romney topping the GOP money race, it's anyone's guess anymore who the nominees will be.
Like I said, it's not over until it's over. Remember Howard Dean and Gary Hart?
