Pretty amazing. It will pay for a lot of ads in NC and Indiana. But I though outspending your opponent only to lose was a sign of weakness?

People want Hillary.  And they showed it last night.

I think you mean "Hillary's people" don't want this to be over, at least until they can completely destroy the party.  It IS over.

what a wonderful accomplishment. the people have spoken - they want a choice, and that choice is Hillary (she leads the popular vote).

Judging by the events of the past two months, a joint ticket is the only way out.

...well 50,000 don't want this race to end. Obama has almost 1,400,000 contributors.

Can all of this money be used in the primary is the question.

That's an impressive amount of money, no doubt about it.  I sincerely hope that all the money that both of our candidates now have isn't wasted in mutually assured destruction.  Ideally, it would be nice if the nomination was worth having.  

10 mil ... isn't that the figure they were indebted for the day before yesterday?

So when Hillary raises money, it's all well and good, but when Obama raises money, he's wielding an unfair advantage?

So is money evil or isn't it?

Judging by the fact that she raised only $20 million in all of March, something is fishy here. Does the GOP see the chance to prop her up and make this bloody battle even longer?

When are we going to acknowledge that Barack is running against two people, and two organizations, the GOP and the Clintons, at once?

Perhaps gravity is finally reaching Planet Obama & we can avert the suicidal stupidity of annointing Barack Obama & actually win the White House.

Unforuntately for Clinton fans, this money is probably either going to Obama's GE fund or to pay off her creditors.

well she damn well better pay her debts

will be hard to argue starting a 4th straight month in debt, especially when you can raise enough to pay that debt in 1 day.

10 Million?  Wow, very impressive.  I wonder how much Obama has raised.

Holy shit are you kidding me? And people people want her to drop out? Screw that, keep on fighting!

Going by just the counter on Obama's site they have had about 40,000 donations since PA polls closed.

"As of 10:30 a.m., the campaign had raised $3.5 million, 80 percent of which came from new donors, spokesman Mo Elleithee told reporters. He called it ``our best fundraising night ever."

They must have had some afternoon today. Do you have a link to that?

Obama's NEW donors counter went from 1,375,000 around 9PM last night to 1,409,345 as of this moment (1:17PM Central). That's a bit over 34 thousand, once again, new donors. At an average of $100 per donation, that's a nice $3.4 million from new donors on a night when Mr. Obama lost a primary contest by 9 points. If you ask me, the dude is sitting pretty.

Also, the $10 million number is impressive, and I'm sure many of the vendors/businesses that are owed money by the Clinton campaign are just as excited as everyone about this wonderful news.

He put everything he had into the state, desperately wanting to acquire an unambiguous status as front runner.  But Pennsylvania said, "No."  

Obama lost the Philadelphia suburbs.  What the heck!?  

YOU.GO.GIRL!

I love the smell of Obama failure in the morning.

It'll keep her going now.  She's got about $10 million clear if she pays the debt.

when it's actually over.  In a scenario where there are no states left, Obama has all the delegate advantage, I think those 50,000 are so partisan they would want to continue.  It's partisan self-indulgence and it needs to stop before the convention or else we're all screwed.

"An impressive amount by any measure and, as I wrote last night, a clear sign that people do not want this primary to be over."

Clever spin, I suppose, but by this logic Obama's superior fundraising among small donors shows much more compellingly that "people" want Obama to be the nominee.

"Iran ready to discuss nuclear dispute-Ahmadinejad"

Yup, don't mess with Clinton.

this is brilliant, i am maxed out but i am getting others in family and around to donate.

Per TPM, McAuliffe said that HRC is ON TRACK to raise $10 million by the end of the day.  Not quite the same thing.

I'm just sayin'.

...Will you join me?

Nine 70% to 30% victories in a row and Obama is done.

Nice to know my $25 is in good company. 50,000 new friends.

Yes, she will!!

Two points:

1.  On Hillary's fundraising, I am highly skeptical that all of it is for the GE.  In the past, her figures have usually turned out to be misleading.  As some have noted, next month's FEC will tell all -- but if I were her team and I suspected I was going to win (at all) in PA, I would set it up with donors ahead of time.  It's a variation on what one sees with Obama and the elusive group of "super delegates preparing to surge to him."  

2.  More to the point, anyone who thinks Obama was a flash in the pan or is somehow fading I think are deluding themselves.  On the campaign trail, his events are as big as ever, the money is still pouring in, and super delegates (no dummies on who has the momentum) continue to move in his direction.  The thing that has changed the most is the MSM's overall narrative -- the ratings are great as long as the race is viewed as close -- therefore the narrative will overplay the extent to which this race is close.

I pledged on another blog that I would put in five bucks for every point in her margin.  So today I had to put my money where my mouth was - fifty bucks kind of hurts, but as supporters we know that we are the ones that have made Hillary's campaign a success for the past two months.

By showing us that you should never back down from your principles, and always fight for what you know is right, Hillary sets a good role model.

As long as Clinton supporters are committed to voting for a Democrat, regardless of who it is, in the fall, then as an Obama supporter I give you all my congratulations on your candidate's win and recent fundraising fortunes.

Nice.  Now they can pay back all those small business owners they're currently stiffing.

Good to see that Hillary supporters feel fiscal responsibility and paying off one's debts is important.  Let's see if the campaign feels the same way.

It's mostly the show that they want to go on. Like American Idol (or better yet  The Truman Show) - it's just so riveting.

And for just $25.00 you can make it go on and on. But when in June Obama is the clear winner by all measures and the supers give him the nod (because a convention fight would be an unseemly spectacle to allow out over the airwaves) - it suddenly won't be so interesting - and everyone can turn to the Olympics before the fall season and the GE races begin. Cynical much? You bet!

A more accurate statement would be that SOME people want this primary to continue.  Many do not, and likely many more than the 50,000 folks who gave Hillary money today.  Of course, a consistent message from the Clinton campaign and her supporters has been anyone who doesn't vote for or support her doesn't matter so I guess you're consistent.

And this is how we treat our allies...

Has any other campaign ever raised more than 10 mil / 1 day? The Ron Paul Money-Bomb took some 6 mil, isn't it?

It is a clear sign some people want the race to continue.

But considering we're talking about less than then the number of people who voted for Ron Paul yesterday, it's only real significance is that there are too many people who don't understand math and/or are willing to piss away money.

Ok, 10 down, she probably needs another 50-100 to completely destroy Barack to the point that elected delegates do not count.

Also how much was she in debt again?  Really I forgot, was it 1-3 million?.

I havent heard that in the context of all this.  

I wonder if they will clip out the tela-thon moment were she asked for money last night.

And you guys think the media is after her?

"the Federal Election Commission show Clinton had $10.3 million in debts at the start of the month"

Oh good, now she's just broke, not in debt. Good for her.

Has anyone inquired how much of the "10M" Hillary can use for primary purposes and how much for the general only?

So is there hard information about her debt as of Today?  

Or are we forced to speculate based on FEC info from a week or two ago?

Has anyone inquired as to whether McAwful was hooked up to a lie detector when he made this claim?

I read their editorial and also Modo gave her usual guidance so today's truth is that it is critical to Democracy that Senator Clinton quit the race before more Democrats vote for her.

If she continues to fight hard, but comes up short, her supporters will bail her out.
