Barack Obama fundraising - 25 big ones in Q107


Barack Obama raised $25 million in the first quarter of 2007. How do you like them apples?

Obama was only $1 million behind Hillary Clinton. Given that Clinton has a politico-celebrity husband and was the clear front-runner in Janaury... I'd say that Barack's outcome is surprisingly favorable for him. Hillary has got to be worried.

Now everyone is already looking towards results for Q2 fundraising. Can Barack keep up this pace? Will he pass Clinton? Is Barack Obama's fundraising too focused on the primary and not building enough of a war chest for the 2008 election?

Regardless, this is a job well done for Q107 and the Obama Fundraising Team should feel great and get a pat on the back.
