Obama Money

11:48 am EST January 31st, 2008 | News | 3 Comments

Sen. Obama has raised a lot of money this month. I’d like to see Sen. Clinton’s numbers to compare.

The campaign of Barack Obama will report having raised at least $32 million in the month of January, a staggering amount for one month, campaign manager David Plouffe said this morning.

That included contributions from 170,000 new donors. That brings the campaign’s total number of contributors to 650,000, Plouffe said.

Plouffe said the money came in at a consistent pace throughout the month, but the campaign’s strongest day of fundraising came the day after the New Hampshire primary, which Obama narrowly lost to Hillary Clinton.

    Geez, it’s like waiting for Christmas having to go another 10 days before I get to cast my first vote for Obama.

    Fuck me. When I heard about him raising $32 million, I thought that was for the quarter.

    Hopefully a lot of these people are not just going to give money, but time. An army of volunteers to build a GOTV machine for November.

    I can’t see McCain having this kind of enthusiasm among the party faithful. He may do better with the independents, but I don’t think he will get a lot of those people going door to door or calling to make sure people vote.
