$10 million for Hillary and where does this go from here?
Hillary Clinton’s ability to raise ten million dollars online in the 24 hours after her win in Pennsylvania is testament both to how the internet is transforming political fund-raising and how committed her hardcore supporters remain. (I still expect, though, that Obama will continue to comfortably out raise her.) Indeed, for Hillary the good news just seems to keep coming at the moment with Rev Wright choosing to do several media events, reviving the controversy over his relationship with Obama again.
Having said this, it is Obama who remains the overwhelming favourite to win the nomination. But for the sake of his general election chances he needs to finish this and fast because the longer the process goes on the more his political vulnerabilities, which I detail in this week’s magazine, are being exposed.
