New Federal Election Commission reports show Obama raised at a clip of nearly $2 million a day in February, an open spigot of money that left him with $30 million in the bank for March.

Clinton had her best fundraising month as well, at $34.5 million. But counting her debts to vendors she ended with a net $3 million. And that's not factoring the $5 million she lent her campaign and has not paid back.

In a bit of good financial news for Clinton, she made inroads in February with small donors, a group that has mostly flocked to Obama. Clinton raised half of her money _ $17 million _ in contributions of $200 or less, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Campaign Finance Institute. Obama tapped those donors, many of whom give through the Internet, for $30.5 million.

    • Well, you got the 'bloody' part right. And yes, 'coming into power." It's becoming more expensive to buy your way in every four years to secure the favors of those giving the gold. But yes, let's just see what they do after "coming into power." How they change the very laws that got them where they are. I just have to see that.

    • Yes, I think I heard between all of them they raised over 700 MILLION dollars so far. Imagine how many hungry people we could have fed with that money. What a damned waste. And for what?

    • Also check out the thread on Bill Richardson's endorsement, about which a senior adviser to Hillary Clinton's campaign - which likewise spent months courting the governor's nod - dismissed as insignificant. 'I always feel like the Clinton campaign is yelling at everyone'.
