Obama: $32.5M

Wow. $31M of it for the primary, $11M more than Hillary — who seems to have momentum. To say that this changes all of our assumptions about money in politics would be a modest statement. In fact, provided Hillary eventually wins, it reveals that 1) a money edge is now more easily accessible than ever because of the Internet, and 2) money doesn’t matter as much as we thought it did.

My surprise prediction on the Republican side: Ron Paul will raise at least $4 million.

Patrick Ruffini :: Ron Paul’s Fundraising Disappoints says:
[…] Keying off reports that his fundraising was in the $3-4 million range, I had predicted that Paul would raise at least $4 million for the quarter. Paul’s supporters believed this assessment was credible enough, and ran with it. By some accounts, Paul is doing even better than Obama online. And Obama raised over $10 million online last quarter.

Why a surprise?
Ron Paul is the top candidate on the web at all the social networking sites as well as YouTube.
He won the MSNBC debate poll and came in second in the FOX cell phone poll.
He recently outrallied a forum in Iowa that had 600 people for all the other candidates with 1,200 fans just for himself.
There is no surprise because there is wide support for Dr Paul…there is just no MSM coverage of it….
The AP prefers to lie about party crashing and then not report what HAPPENED at the ‘party’.
1,200 fans marched past the original forum and into Paul’s rally. HAH.

I’m predicting 1.5 million. Double what Dr Paul raised in the first quarter but well short of the 4 million he needs to get the media’s attention
