What Bernie Did In February Beats Any Single Month in Obama's 2008 fundraising campaign

And it beats the amount raised PER QUARTER (except Q3 2007) up to this point in the campaign:

That's right. Bernie is well on his way to CRUSHING Obama's individual donor campaign funding machine.

$43 million in February is almost as large as Obama's 2007 Q3 amount of $59 million. And this quarter is on its way to dwarfing any fundraising quarter by Obama to this point in the campaign.

Jan and Feb Individual Donations for Bernie are more than HALF of what Hillary has raised so far.

There is your movement people. There is your revolution.

Well, I wouldn't say '43 miliion is almost 59 million'. It's just over 2/3. But still incredible. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Mar 2016 #1

43 million is for 1 month... dchill Mar 2016 #2

"Almost" is an apt description ... ThePhilosopher04 Mar 2016 #4

That's a fair point. At 2/3 his biggest Qtr to this point, that means Bernie's on-track to double berni_mccoy Mar 2016 #5

$43 million in February is almost as large as Obama's 2007 Q3 amount of $59 million.

So no, 43 million in February is not almost as large as Obama's 2007 Q3 amount of 59 million.

It is just over 2/3 of Obama's 2007 Q3 amount.

Like I said, it's still incredible, it's just not almost as large as Obama's entire Q3 total.

Especially when comparing a single month to three. To be totally accurate, it's "almost" 73 percent which is closer to 3/4 than it is to 2/3.
