Now here are the questions.. and if anyone has the answer, please let me know. I'm not trying to provoke anything, but of course, a large number like  this needs a little explanation.

1) Was this a planned effort to get big donors to donate that night, and how much of these donations are online?

2) How much debt did she have immediately beforehand, i.e. how much of this money is now spendable?

3) Can she sustain this rate of donations to carry through this month and keep pace with Obama's consistently larger monthly budget?

4) Will she try to make good use of it in North Carolina, or is she going to completely abandon it? (Would be a mistake, a HUGE mistake, in my eyes, for Clinton to take NC lightly. If she cant eat into Obama's inevitable pop vote win there, she might not come out of this with a strong popular vote argument)

The Clinton campaign (and also Obama) have done this several times already. Remember the "50 superdelegates ready to announce en masse" story.

in Pennsylvania is the reason for renewed optimism among Clinton donors.

In recent months, a significant portion of the contributions into the Clinton campaign have come from contributers who had already maxed out for the primary election.

How much of the January, February and March money was contributed by donors who had maxed out?  How much of the (31.7-9.3) $22.4M earmarked for the general was contributed in Janauary, February and March?

we are the peasant army, following chairwoman hillary on the long march. today we hide in the mountains, but one day we will stand in tiananmen square.

You act as though you are surprised that so many people would flock to Clinton and give her money.  Let me tell you, I live and work in Hollywood- in the "business"- and I can say that a lot of my coworkers have become Clinton supporters recently.  Many of them donated money right after PA.  Many of them had voted for Obama in CA and have since changed there minds.  I only mention the Hollywood part since people expect us to be (and we usually are)- the "liberal elite".  The people that I know who have switched to Clinton have waited and waited for Obama to tell them more.  Hope and Change were great early on (when CA voted)- but I think the luster wore off with time.  They wanted to hear big ideas, major policy.  What they got was a lot of scandalous associations and a candidate who seems to crack under pressure.  They saw Clinton strong, reliant, sharp as a tack on policies- and a fighter.  They also saw Obama lose every large swing state by a lot of votes and they became nervous.  I think this is why so many people donated to Clinton and I expect will continue to. NEW CONTRIBUTORS.  If it's happening in "liberal elite" Hollywood- imaging the rest of the country.

... line coming from the campaign after a fundraising blitz a month or two ago, and it turned out to be not exactly true that time.

I'm trying to track it down now.  I seem to recall it was in anticipation of the filing of the February FEC report -- in other words, around March 17 or 18.

You're complete disregard for the people who support Hillary Clinton is obvious.  You suspect that the recent $10M raised could only be from already maxed-out contributors, and use the same brush to wipe over Hillary's fundraising successes in Jan, Feb and March.

Here's news, at the end of Q4 2007, Hillary had raised more than $118M, of which $20M was earmarked for the general, presumably from maxed-out donors.

Since the beginning of January, it would appear that that total of earmarked contributions has only gone up $2M or so, whereas during this period Hillary raised $13M in Jan, $20M in Feb, $20M in March and probably $15-20M in April.

It's quite clear that in "Recent Months" almost NONE of the contributions to the Clinton campaign have come from maxed out donors donating to the general election fund.

Please correct your error.

No doubt, even as we see you trying to spin this, lol......I'm sure all the B O supporters are trying to claim and question.

Desparation.

Really angry at such huge fundraising.

....maybe B O can come out and claim he really closed the gap on her fundraising too LOL
10 pts was closing the gap, 10 million must have the same meaning.

No matter how you slice it...$10 million is an impressive figure, a large majority of which came from new donors.

If she can't handle her own campaign, how is she going to be able to handle this nation's economy?
