Some staggering numbers just up @ Politico

Writes Jean Cummings....

If each of Obama’s donors gave him a modest $250, he’d have $375 million to spend during the two-month general election sprint. That’s $186 million a month, $47 million a week.

Obama has more than 1.5 million donors; McCain has a few hundred thousand. If just a million of Obama’s donors sent him the maximum donation, $2,300, he could raise $2.3 billion. 

He (McCain) reported a record month in April, raising $18 million, after sewing up his party’s nomination. In 2004, Democrat John F. Kerry raised $44 million in the month after he emerged his party’s presumptive nominee.

“All hands are going to be on deck,” said one longtime Democratic fundraiser. “A billion is spent on advertising at the Super Bowl. That’s one football game. This is worth every nickel we can put into it.”

it's about time
