I think Donations to the Obama Campaign may approach $70 Million for the month of February based on the following

At the end of January the number of donors for the year was about 256,000 donors. The number for the year now is now 977,525 (http://my.barackobama.com/page/contribute_c/sofar08_sidebar/graphic). That is a whopping 721,000 donors in February.

Obama said the other night that the average donation is about $109. That is $78 Million if you do the back-of-a-napkin math.

Some have theorized that the avarage may be trending up. So it could be even higher.

The extraoridary thing about this were that not enough is that his donor list overall is probably about 1.2M overallor thathe effective tripled it in a single monthm but it really that he can tap that donor list repeatedly between now and the convention.

That build a ground game in every statethat woyldbe be completely unrivaled. and can be leveraged by every candidate for Congress ans every statewide race,


This is they type of operation that can lead to amazing coattails. It is not difficult to see why Super Delegates have moved so decidedly in nis direction in the past two week.(3 since 2/15)
