July 01, 2007Oh Boy, ObamaReuters reports: Sen. Barack Obama announced on Sunday he had raised $32.5 million for his presidential campaign in the past three months, the biggest quarterly fund-raising for any Democrat ever in a pre-election year. The Illinois senator said more than 154,000 donors had contributed to his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination in the April-June period, bringing his total donor list to more than 258,000. Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York led all Democrats in the first quarter of the year with the former first lady edging out Obama, $26 million to $25 million. Only Republican President George W. Bush has raised more in the year before a presidential election. Clinton, who leads Obama in national opinion polls, had not immediately released her figures but her campaign last week said she expected to raise $27 million to $28 million in the second quarter. Now for the sophisticated political analysis: Wow. And what to expect next: The Wrath of Hillary--that is, the Clinton campaign is going to ratchet up its anti-Obama operations. For the political operatives running HRC's campaign, money talks, and these fundraising numbers will--and should--scare them (no matter what they say in public). They will act accordingly.
