I mentioned this in the Hillary Fundraising Troubles thread but I think deserves it's own thread. Quite an accomplishment. We know Hillary is having fundraising trouble...any one know what kind of money the Repubs are raising? Although I guess McCain doesn't have to worry about the primaries too much anymore.

Obama raises $7.2 million since Super Tuesday

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.

While not matching Obama's pace, Clinton also saw an online surge of donations — raising $4 million from 35,000 new contributors since midnight Super Tuesday, Clinton campaign aides said
