NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Democratic Sen. Barack Obama has raised $7.2 million for his presidential campaign since the first polls closed on Super Tuesday night, his campaign said Thursday, a remarkable figure that is causing concern among supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Meanwhile Thursday, the Clinton campaign asked Obama to debate once a week, but he demurred.
Obama, riding a wave of fundraising from large donors and small Internet contributors, also raised $32 million in January.
Clinton acknowledged Wednesday that she loaned her campaign $5 million late last month as Obama was outraising and outspending her heading into Feb. 5 Super Tuesday contests. Some senior staffers on her campaign also are voluntarily forgoing paychecks as the campaign heads into the next round of contests.

“but he demurred”. I love the way they write these things. Translation= NO, because I am on a roll and why should I give you a chance to catch me.
Amazing and sacry.
It is beginning to look like this may not be abrokered convention after all — Obama might win it before then. What a turnaround.
I thought the economy sucked?
Don’t forget...Number one (1) LIBERAL in U.S. Senate (Hilary was # 16). He also was endorsed by moveon.org. Are there any true conservatives out there that want this guy to be Commander in Chief?
This guy would be the Military’s worst nightmare. It’s time to put aside some of our concerns over some of Mc Cain’s past and focus on National Security where we know he’s no slouch.
If they select Obama, we’re in deep doo-doo!
Let’s hope B. Hussein Obama sucks the well dry fighting off the Rodham beotch and her dumbass husband. That’ll leave him begging for bucks come Summer.
It is hard to believe, but a first term senator from Illinois has almost singlehandedly broken the Clinton machine....something that Kenneth Starr, the Republican Congress, numerous pundits and even an impeachment couldn’t do.
He has this young idealistic following that will turn out the vote in large numbers. He also is able to use rhetoric to appeal to the ignorant masses. This guy is dangerous and we had better hope Hillary is able to beat him. Doesn’t look good though.
Can we beat an emnotional campaign with a logical one? I don’t know.
