Big Win in Ohio and Texas Sends Money Pouring In

From CBS News' Fernando Suarez:

WASHINGTON -- After two big wins in Texas and Ohio, Hillary Clinton is getting a much needed financial bump from supporters – over $3 million in 24 hours, according to a campaign source. The response was so great that the campaign is "upping the goal to $6 million in 48 hours," the source said.

Clinton raised $35 million last month, but the record fundraising figure was quickly overshadowed by Barack Obama's $50 million raised in the same month. The Clinton campaign found growing support in smaller donations online from some 200,000 new donors, a strategy Obama's campaign has benefited from. A large portion of donations to his campaign comes from online donors.

In January, Clinton loaned her campaign $5 million of her own money to help compete in February 5th states. She called the loan a "good investment."

*******************************
It looks like that Hillary is actually going to lose Texas. They are counting the caucus votes and Obama is significantly ahead on those and if that continues, he will win more delegates from Texas that Hillary.
So, I think it was premature to declare Texas a win for Hillary. The news media should have known that.

"Big win" in Texas?? Last time I checked, only 47% of caucus results have been reported. She received four more primary delegates, and, so far, he has four more caucus delegates. In other words--this is a dead heat. But the numbers are still coming in!! Please report the facts, CBS--not your obvious Clinton bias.
