LOS ANGELES - A $32 million month.
That's how much Senator Barack Obama has raised so far in January, according to his campaign manager, David Plouffe, who announced the first fund-raising tally of 2008. The campaign attracted 170,000 new contributors during the month, he said.
"Obviously this contest could go on for some time in the primary,'" Mr. Plouffe said, speaking to reporters on a conference call earlier this morning. "We think the strength of our financial position and the number of donors does speak to financial sustainability."
"If this ends up going through March and April, we think we're going to have the resources necessary to conduct vigorous campaigns in every state to come....

I thought he did well tonight, but he could have capitalized a little bit on Hillary's mistakes. I wish he had made a bigger point about how Hillary's hindsight on the War is 20/20, but her foresight needed [censored]ing lasik surgery.

I thought he made a good snip about how pretty much everybody knew Bush's intentions and said something to the effect that all you had to do was to look back at the headlines.

Agree with both of you. It was a good job, and better than he has been. One commentator said that just "letting Hillary talk" was a great strategy, and I agree. She is NOT engaging, and if you are able to listen, she's tangential and rambling.
Obama gained some more ground.
