In an email sent late Friday night to supporters the campaign had said they had a goal of 600,000 grassroots donations in one week and we blew right through it.
Deputy campaign manager Julianna Smoot said the campaign hoped to collect 33,000 more donations to reach their new goal of 700,000 by midnight.
Obamas campaign has intensified their fundraising efforts after being outraised by Romney and the Republican National Committee in recent months.
