10 million in one day and 12 million the rest of the month?  That seems strange to me.

Damn those elitist, small-dollar contributors!

I wonder what Clinton's current COH is?  

$31 million more in PRIMARY money? Maybe he can buy a few TV stations in Montana. Or the entire state of South Dakota.

Oh, wait... this cash is good until the convention, right?

So basically, after her $20 million in debt, Hillary only had $2 million to spend for the entire month of April?  

Oh yeah, those kind of fundraising numbers will sustain her fight all the way to the floor in August!

We are all going to look back and be gobsmacked at the amounts our two candidates raised for a freakin primary!!!

I mean my god?!  They raised, what, a half a BILLION dollars almost?  I just cant get over it.

It just goes to show we had two (well a whole field) of amazing candidates to choose from and the republicans have squat.  Its a shame we cant morph our two together into an indestructible republican crushing machine.

I cant wait to see what we raise for the general.  McCain is so toast.

I hate to nit-pick, but one shouldn't confuse half of Obama's fund raising total coming from $25 donations with half of the donations being $25 or less. I'm pretty sure it's the latter here.

So a Democrat with no chance raises more than the presumptive Republican nominee?  Awesome!

So the bottom line is, Hillary raised enough money to pay back her $11.5 million in loans (plus interest mind you).  Thank god.  I was afraid that the Clinton net worth was going to dip below $100 million.  Thank god there are enough "good hardworking white Americans" and children selling their bikes to keep the Clintons liquid.  I'm just glad she was able to repay herself.

John McCain has accepted public funding for the general election, so my understanding is he cannot accept general election contributions.  He will have to give them back.  Although they could be accepting them to pad his total and then quietly returning the money.

$31.3 million in primary money, more than half of which came in contributions of $25 or less.

That just boggles the mind. Half $25 or less.

Tom Edsall writes at Huffington --

On Friday, Barack Obama publicly raised the possibility of helping Hillary Clinton pay off more than $25 million in debts, including the $11.42 million she loaned her own campaign to keep it afloat in recent months.

"Historically after a campaign is done and you want to unify the party, particularly when you've had a strong opponent, you want to make sure you're putting that opponent in a strong position so that they can work to win an election in November. So, obviously, I would want to have a broad range of discussions with Senator Clinton about how I could make her feel good about
the process and have her on the team moving forward."

QUERY:  If that is correct, will all the Hillary haters sending in money to Obama (much of which, by law, cannot be used in the general election, as I understand it) end up funding her campaign if she loses?
