Obama's fundraising and Clinton's money
(AP) Obama raised $40 million in March. 442,000 donors, 218,000 first time donors in March. Avg. contribution $96. (More details.))
(WSJBlog) "Factoring in Obama’s $36 million January haul, the Illinois senator has raised about $131 million for his nomination bid this year alone."
The Clinton camp has not released numbers yet, but their characterization was that they expect to be "close to" (read "under") $20 million. Less than half. Separate from the absolute numbers, the disparity seems to be growing larger.
Later: In a very curious sign for Team Clinton, (Politico) "Wolfson also said Clinton's fundraising totals would be out when the filings are due, around April 20." (Also CNN)
Why are they waiting? You generally don't hide good news. But maybe it's not a fundraising surprise, but another loan or more debt or something else they want to keep quiet (until 2 days before the Pa primary?) Very curious.
Later: Maybe some of that Clinton money is general election and unusable now even though it raises her total.
