As reported yesterday, Hillary and Bill Clinton loaned their campaign $5 million of their personal money in late January. A pretty impressive bit of fat-cattery, though admittedly nowhere near the cash that The Amazing Plastic Man has dropped into his own campaign. Obama’s response is beautiful: his campaign announced that since the polls closed on Tuesday, supporters have donated $7.1 million. That’s a single day’s haul. Seven million. How many book deals do you think it took Hillary and Bill to raise their five million, as opposed to the single day it took Obama to raise seven?
