Not sure if this is self-serving by the folks at Rassmussen Reports, but it’s at least interesting. And this part is pretty good advice:

“As a consumer of polling data, it is good to have a wide variety of information to review. It is helpful to have some polls assembled in the manner preferred by most academic and media pollsters. It is also good to have data available based upon more firmly established parameters of partisan identification. In the end, a dose of common sense and critical thinking is required.”

And that’s not including the $5 million loan Senator Clinton gave her campaign.

Does that mean even if she’s taken in $1 million per day since the beginning of February, she’ll only have about $15 million for the month after these expenses? And will she continue to get donations at that rate after her losses yesterday?

Sadly for the Clinton campaign, the winner of the nomination is usually the winner in contributions. And it looks like the Obama “machine” is on its way this month to exceed its record haul of $36 million in January.

Not even close. Senator Obama bests Senator Clinton by (roughly) 75% to 25%.

That’s got to leave a mark. 

From the article:

“On Wednesday, the Obama campaign will report to the Federal Election Commission that it collected $36 million in January — $4 million more than campaign officials had previously estimated — an unprecedented feat for a single month in American politics that was powered overwhelmingly by small online donations.”

I wonder how much they’re going to haul in during February? 

I actually thought this would be closer. Yowza, what a blowout. By 17% as I write this.

Oh, and this certainly validates the Clinton campaign strategy of going negative and trying to kneecap their opponent. Yeah. Right.
