Obama Got Contributions From Over 100,000 Individuals

By Greg Sargent - April 4, 2007, 11:33AM

The Chicago Tribune adds some eye-opening detail about Barack Obama's just-announced $25 million fundraising haul:

Overall, Obama received contributions from more than 100,000 individuals, his campaign said. Clinton received donations from about 50,000 people, while Edwards took in money from about 37,000 donors.
Obama's campaign said that at least $23.5 million of its first-quarter collection would be available for the primary campaign, an important distinction because candidates are able to raise money now for both the primary and general elections.

This'll almost certainly ratchet up the pressure on Camp Hillary to produce a number on how much of her cash can be used for the primary.

This further strengthens my suspicion that, were the raise to come down to Hillary and Obama, he'd win. The best hope for Our Lady of Perpetual Triangulation is to keep other candidates in the race long enough for her to win a bunch of primaries with pluralities of 35-40 percent of the vote, eventually (or maybe quickly, given the 2/5/08 cluster) exhausting Obama's resources.

This sort of victory-by-attrition could further demoralize and divide the party--but given my belief that the Republicans' only hope next year is for us to nominate someone half the country already detests, this probably isn't any more of a big deal than that.

Greg, your article link is behind the wall.

marcf wrote on April 4, 2007 12:24 PM:

I don't agree that Obama's fundraising is a surprise. We all know that he is very popular, and that he inspires people who ordinarily think little about politics. We all know that there is a significant minority in the Democratic party who dislike Hillary and Bill Clinton and have been looking for an alternative. Both of these groups are donating to Obama.

And Obama hasn't screwed up yet, in spite of his inexperience with brutal and vicious contemporary politics. The Clinton campaign has been careful not to attack Obama and the right-wingers are keeping their ammo dry, waiting for the Democrats to fight it out.

Go-bama!

I favor Edwards, but I like both the quantity and the quality of Obama's support. Better to have 100,000 $1 donors than one $100,000 donor.

nffcnnr wrote on April 4, 2007 1:15 PM:

100,000 is the key. Not only because it doubles HC's 50,000 tally, but because they donated smaller amounts, it is more likely that they did not max out their $4600 limit already. Those 100k will be hit up again, so that bodes well for Obama's primary campaign. Also, very clever marketing to wait until all other candidates' numbers have been pored over by the media.

As far as substance goes, Edwards still is the front-runner, imo.
