Clinton Campaign: $10 Million In 24 Hours
Hillary Clinton has scored another double-digit victory of sorts—this one related to cash flow rather than votes.
The Clinton campaign reports that is has raised $10 million in the 24 hours since winning the Pennsylvania primary.
Campaign Spokesman Mo Elleithee told the AP that the impressive haul came from 100,000 donors who were inspired to open up their pocketbooks after Clinton's big Pennsylvania win.
The money couldn't have come at a more important time for the relatively cash-strapped Clinton campaign, which could use the extra funds in the upcoming May 6 primaries in Indiana and North Carolina.
Indiana is generally thought to be the more important of the two states, as polls show a tight race there, but Clinton doesn't appear ready to totally concede North Carolina to Obama, who holds a comfortable double-digit lead there in the polls.
CBS News' John Bentley reports that the Clinton campaign's North Carolina strategy is to replicate what Obama did in Pennsylvania by narrowing her opponent's wide lead in order to claim a moral victory.
Bentley reports that Clinton is focusing on North Carolina's smaller towns and rural areas, where she hopes to make up some of the ground she appears certain to lose in the state's cities.
