Re: Obama's $$$$$$

I wonder which number scares the Hillary camp more, the $25 million, or the 100,000 donors. And they did it all without the fundraising genius of "the Big Dog" or the Macker.

A Swampland correspondent writes to predict the Clinton response: "We are disappointed that a Democrat would deem it appropriate to motivate so many to enter the political process. If Senator Obama is indeed sincere about his repeated claims to change the tone of our politics, he should immediately stop inspiring people."

UPDATE: Oops, I got all "cocktail weenie" there. Big Dog=Bill Clinton. Macker=Terry McAuliffe, the ebullient former DNC chair and party animal known for coaxing enormous amounts of money out of very rich people.
