The Washington Post’s Michael Mosak reports (March 18, 2008) that while Barack Obama’s $55 million haul in February, for instance,  527 organizations, most notably, the web site ActBlue.com, which collects contributions for all Democrats, announced it has so far raised $21,226,219 for Democratic candidates who face election in November.

The Post states that ”the more substantial impact of the site’s efforts are likely to be felt by congressional candidates, according to Marissa Doran, who serves as director of strategy and communications for the site. The site has enabled donors around the country to direct money to targeted races, often ones identified and promoted by liberal blogs.”

“Republicans have attempted to match the effort on a handful of similar sites, but to date have not found the traction of ActBlue,” reports the Post.  The newspaper appears not be aware of Republican All in One(tm) and its public portal, to be unveiled by the Trustees of the Republican Leadership Trust as soon as funding is complete.
