    Obama raises $45 million online in February

    According to an Associated Press account, Sen. Barak Obama (D-IL) raised $45 million in online contributions, representing 81% of his total funds raised. The Obama campaign is reported to assert that 90% of its contributors gave cash-100-bills.jpg$100 or less.  The Politico.com reports that to date, Obama has 1,069,333 donors; the inference being the majority are online contributors. The AP report filed by Jim Kuhnhenn, also states that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) raised $4 million online from 30,000 Internet contributors since the Tuesday “Super Tuesday II” primary victories in Ohio, Rhode Island and Texas.  At no time has the presumptive Republican Presidential nominee, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) even remotely approached such online contribution numbers.   The online fund raising successes reported by Obama and Clinton must be rivaled by McCain if the GOP contemplates closing the financial gap.
