4. I've heard over $50M, but don't think anything has been released from
his campaign yet. Maybe they're still counting? :evilgrin:

7. wondering the same thing
could it be that they are so big that they are afraid it would create sympathy for Hillary?

12. They could be waiting until tommorow to release the news
So they can take back the news cycle from Hillary and sway some late minute undecided voters.

14. Iam now wondering if they are holding it until after the primary
because it has the potential to supress Obama turnout. It is in their interest to feed the "it's very tight" meme and an annoucement like that migh make their own folks rest on their laurels rather than getting out and voting?

13. Don't know the exact figure but word is that it's a pretty good chunk of
change.

Not bad for a "Muslim empty suit."

15. Well, remember when they estimated January's to be around $30-32 million
and they were off by $4-6 million (January's total ending up being $36 million to Clinton's $13.5 million)?

They probably want to be correct this time ;)

16. I think it'd be smart
to wait until after March 4 to release those figures.
