Obama Raised $40 Million in March..... Clinton not sharing

One could assume that Obama's fundraising would have taken a hit this month unarguable his worst campaign month, with losing the Texas and Ohio primaries (he won the Texas delegates race), the Pastor Wright dust up, and the downward poll numbers. But, there is no denying that the electorate wants change and willing to invest $40 Million in Obama.


Well, McSame raised 13 million, the Clinton campaign told Time that they did not hit $20 million.

April 22, is the next primary contest in Pennsylvania, Ben Smith is reporting that Clinton's aide Howard Wolfson said their fundraising totals will be out when the fillings are due, around April 20. Wolfson went on to say that Mrs. Clinton will be releasing her tax returns today or tomorrow.

Methinks the campaign broke, my only questions is how long can she keep running on empty.

Update:
  • Total Raised in March: More than $40 million

    Contributors in March: More than 442,000

    First-Time Contributors in March: More than 218,000

    Average Contribution: $96

    Total Contributors to Date: More than 1,276,000

You got to love the narrative

Lets see if I got it.

Hillary’s bad management, over paid staff and Obama's campaign strength has pressure her to loan the campaign 5M of “her” own money. The spin from her campaign is that they believes this shows her character, that she has now demonstrated to her supporters that she is committed to this race.

Well I head it all.

The media has not once question her judgment. Hillary's campaign is so strap for funds, that s
ome senior staffers on her campaign also are voluntarily forgoing paychecks, but she spend thousands of dollars on a campaign victory party in Florida where you did not win any delegates. What’s up with that? Now I look in my mailbox and there is another Dear Priscilla email notifying me that the campaign exceeding their initial request of 3M by a 1M. Without missing a beat there is another request —the campaign ex out the $3 and inserts $6 in red — without once saying Thank You. Character for sure.
