slated for general election use. Hillary won't disclose how much is GE money according to CNN. Plus he didn't start collecting until February 10. That ought to send chills down the backs of Camp Hillary.
It's not Howard Dean internet type money either, no bat, no blogfather's rallying the netroots. Regardless of who you support, this is great news for the party and democracy. Woohoo!!
I'm also wondering if Hillary's going to extend a hand to Obama and make some plans about him being her VP. "You know...let's be friends. Together we can change the world!" Not to mention being half-way to $100 Mil for campaign marketing.
Depends who's on where but.....say they send out Carville tonight. His chosen tact will be a good indication on the current strategy.
We will know their plans by the actions of their advocates/partisans. I mean the real life ones, not their on-line supporters who like to think they know what's going on and believe that what they say matters.
While it would be nice if less money were used in campaigns, it is good that the media will have even less of a basis for declaring the race over prematurely.
This is FANTASTIC!! Also, it was a clever strategy to wait a couple of days to release the number. That definitely gave this story some extra legs and instead of looking like he 'lost' the first quarter drive to Hillary, Obama's accomplishment is receiving the recognition it deserves.
