Clinton's January: $13.5 million

That's from campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe on MSNBC today:

Russert: Last month. You guys raised 10 million.

McAuliffe: We won the fourth quarter and the third quarter. We actually raised more in '07 than Barack Obama did.

Russert: How's your money holding up?

McAuliffe: It's good. I mean, he -- you said 10. We actually about did about 13 1/2, which I was very proud of. We had more cash on hand at the end of '07. He had a great January. Hats off. I've been raising money for a long time. All the compliments in the world to the Obama campaign. They raised a lot of money on the internet. I heard over 25 million on the internet. Congratulations to them. No one should be worried about Hillary Clinton, though. We will always have our resources to get our message out.

A lot of money by most measures, but less than half of what Obama's claiming for the month.

Obama Sets New Online Record

By Jose Antonio Vargas

Sen. Barack Obama has set a new online record, raising more than $28 million online in one month.

To put this into context, Howard Dean, known as the first Internet candidate, raised $27 million -- during his whole campaign.

A spokesman said $28 of the $32 million that Obama raised last month came over the Internet. Ninety percent of the online donations were $100 or less; forty percent were $25 or less.

In January, more than 10,000 people gave between $5 and $10 on the Internet, he said.
