<p>This more than matches the $5 million dollar loan Hillary Clinton made to her campaign the other day. There are also rumors that several of her top staffers are foregoing salaries this month. </p>

<p>In January, Obama raised over $30 million, 3 times as much as Clinton raised.</p>

<p>I have to blink. It’s now at more than $5.2 million–and it’s still one hour shy of 11pm, the time that the CA polls closed.</p>

<p>$5.29 million now -</p>

<p>And now $5.4 million - I have to stop refreshing that page.</p>

<p>What’s the page? please?</p>

6

<p>It’s a fundraising email that I received a little while ago, with a button showing how much has been raised toward the original goal (now surpassed) of $5million. When the page is refreshed, the total is updated.</p>

<p>That’s some very impressive fundraising.</p>

<p>“There are also rumors that several of her top staffers are foregoing salaries this month.”</p>

<p>Not a rumor. True.</p>

<p>And the folks on the west coast aren’t home from the bars yet so they can donate as well.</p>

<p>bars? we are supposed to be at a bar?
*That’s * why there was so much traffic!</p>

<p>It looks like he’ll raise $6million before midnight. The count is now over $5,6 million.</p>

<p>^^
Midnight where? :)</p>

<p>EST. $5,7+ right now, 11:10PM.</p>

<p>At this point do any of you think the funds matter? Do you think there are still people undecided who’ll be influenced one way or the other by advertising? I can say that no advertising by candidates influenced me at all.</p>

<p>This ‘loaning’ your own campaign your own money is weird.</p>

<p>I wonder if thats how, lots of senators and other politicians could afford to run in the first place- either that or they are from political families/otherwise in the public eye but I think it shows she is pretty worried as she should be.</p>

<p>Barack will be here Friday- but Michelle will be in Spokane ( oh crap- I guess I cancel my thing in Olympia)
I wanna hear Michelle!</p>

<p>You will like her EK.</p>

<p>This quote from the email is impressive: “To date, more than 650,000 people like you have taken ownership of this campaign, giving whatever they can afford.”</p>

<p>If each donor gave just $10 more, that’s $6.5 million right there.</p>

<p>“This ‘loaning’ your own campaign your own money is weird.”</p>

<p>It’s for accounting purposes. Clinton will have future fundraisers
(post-election) to retire the debt.</p>

<p>$5.965 million.</p>
