Sen. Hillary Clinton's team is cheering the news that she has raised $3 million in the 24 hours after her victories in Texas and Ohio.
Sen. Barack Obama's advisers were dodging questions about their fundraising yesterday, saying only that it takes time to tally all the figures and add up the number of donors and their average contribution. They hinted that he's done especially well in the first few days of March and that his donors have rallied since Clinton recaptured some momentum with her primary wins Tuesday.
Everyone keeps telling me privately that the Obama campaign's February figure is $50 million, far trumping Clinton's $35 million month, but nothing concrete has emerged from the campaign yet.
UPDATE, 1:15 P.M.: Team Clinton announces they've raised $4 million online since Tuesday.

Gee, this is so last year's news!
Remember Ron Paul? You know, that other GOP candidate that the media perpetually blacks out of Presidential coverage? That other GOP candidate who never did drop out of the race and has all that money to spend ($6M!) now? Well, if you recall correctly, he did those numbers TWICE in 2007.

This was a race that began with higher ideals, greater aspirations, boundless hopes, but now, now my fellow Obamaniacs, we have fallen into the trap of negativity, and we knew where it was, it had always existed in the shadows beckoning, awaiting our arrival, hoping we would choose false steps. Who will lead the flock now that we are lost? Obama is "the one" but remember, it was Oprah that coroneted him, and we need her more than ever to help us win this fight so that we may join the ranks of the righteous.
