Obama now is at 1,434,200 UNIQUE donors, up from 1,372,000 earlier yesterday.

If the average donation is still holding at $109, that’s 62,000 x 109 = 6.7 Million

This means if only 33K from the old donors donated again (only 2% of his donors)-Which more than likely happened given the fury of the donation)- Obama has probably raised more than 10M since yesterday.

1. Well, that explains Hill's latest lie.
Getting out in front of Obama's accomplishment and shooting it down with sniper fire.

9. Sen Clinton is gambling same as Sen Cantwell. Borrow from yourself because the major corps don't
want to take a chance. Once you win, they will come running to pay your debt.

10. Does anyone doubt that Republicans are filling up Hillary's coffers?
The rightwing noise machine has gone into overdrive in support of Hillary Clinton, and I think they're actually funding her campaign.

11. I wouldn't be surprised if some are sending her money to keep her going,
They are watching the DP race in amusement. It's better than spending their money on a movie night. The entertainment here lasts longer.

20. My point is that she may not be getting big support now from the major corps, but they may cover her
debts after she is elected. When Maria Cantwell ran for the Senate in Washington State, all the major corporations like Boeing and Weyerhauser were funding the republican Slade Gorton. Maria borrowed money from herself (sound familiar) and after she won the election, the big corps were falling all over themselves giving her "campaign" money to pay off her debt to herself. If this isn't crooked, I don't know what is.

12. I know I sent him some money when
David Plouffe asked today.

z --

Last night, Senator Clinton used up her last, best chance to cut appreciably into Barack Obama's elected delegate lead.

She came up short.

In fact, she barely made a dent. At most, she picked up a net gain of 12 delegates -- less than our gain, for example, in Colorado (where we gained 17) or Kansas (where we gained 14). Her gain in Pennsylvania was less than half of our gain in Virginia, where we added to our lead by 25 delegates.

But there is one measure by which her campaign's gains are real.

The Clinton campaign claims they've raised $3.5 million dollars since the polls closed yesterday.

We can't afford to let that go unanswered.

Your support allowed us to come this far, and we need your help to finish this. Please make a donation of $25 today to support this campaign:

https://donate.barackobama.com/thefacts

Your grassroots support has brought the Democratic nomination in our sights.

Here's how it breaks out:

After Pennsylvania, we have a lead of at least 159 elected delegates earned through all of the primaries and caucuses so far. We have a total of at least 1493 pledged delegates.

Meanwhile, we've been rapidly gaining ground among the so-called superdelegates (elected leaders and party officials who get a vote to choose our nominee), cutting Senator Clinton's lead from more than 100 early this year to less than 25. We have a total of 238 publicly committed superdelegates.

The total number of delegates needed to secure the nomination is 2,024. That means we are only 293 delegates away from securing the nomination.
In less than two weeks, we'll square off in the key battleground states of North Carolina and Indiana, when there will be as many delegates at stake as there were last night in Pennsylvania.

To grow our significant lead and close out this race, we must remain competitive in these contests and the 7 others that will follow.

Barack needs your support again right now to finish this race:

https://donate.barackobama.com/thefacts

Pennsylvania was considered a state tailor-made for Senator Clinton -- she was always expected to win, and we trailed by as much as 25 points in the weeks leading up to the election.

But thanks to you, Barack gained support among key voters in the face of long odds and unrelenting negativity from Senator Clinton, and kept the margin close enough that her delegate gain was insignificant.

Indeed, the only surprising result from Pennsylvania is how much Barack was able to improve his standing among key voter groups since the Ohio primary.

Among white voters, Obama narrowed the gap by 6 points. Among voters over 60, he nearly cut the gap in half, from 41 points to 24 points. Meanwhile, we continued to run strong where we have all along -- for example, winning voters ages 18-24 with over 65% of the vote.

Barack campaigned hard in Pennsylvania. He talked about his plans to stand up to the special interests and bring people together so that we can change Washington to turn our economy around, make sure that every American has quality health care, and bring this misguided war to an end.

An additional donation of $25 can make sure we grow our lead and finish this race in the final 9 contests:

Thank you for all your support,

David

14. One of them was me!!! I donated last night.

I guess now I have to be identified as an Obama supporter? Even though my motivation was to crush Hillary's attempt at raising money overnight after I heard she had sent out emails asking people for $5 donations so she could claim she had gotten new donors after PA.

I got matched too. :)
