Here's an update to the last posting on campaign cash. Clinton campaign guru Howard Wolfson tells reporters, "Simply put, this has been a great quarter for us," and predicts the campaign will raise around $27 million this period.
In a detailed memo that declares Hillary Clinton (D-NY) won the first two debates, Wolfson talks about Bill Clinton being an asset to the campaign.
"To put that figure in some perspective, it is more than any Democrat has ever raised in the second quarter of the 'off' year. While that figure is record setting, we do expect Senator Obama to significantly outraise us this quarter," Wolfson wrote. "Bottom line is that both campaigns will raise a great deal of money and that we will have all the resources we need to compete and win."
