Obama's March Donations to Exceed $40 Million

Update: According to news reports out a few minutes ago, Obama raised $40 million in the month of March! This compared to Clinton raising "about $20 million".

Also, remember that after debts, Obama entered March with $33 million that could be spent in the primary period, while Clinton's net cash on hand for the primary (after accounting for her mounting debts) was a paltry $3 million.

Here was the report yesterday from TIME:

Barack Obama raised more than $30 million in the month of March, a campaign official told TIME on Tuesday.

Though the official would not provide an exact number, he did say, "The number starts with a three and we are still counting. It's in the 30s."

[...]

As of Tuesday night, the Clinton campaign had not released its March totals. But one Clinton campaign adviser hinted that the New York senator's total for the month will come close to $20 million. That estimate could not be independently confirmed.
