Slow and steady wins the money race

Sometime around 9:30 last evening I checked my e-mail to see Barack Obama campaign manager David Plouffe ask for $5 million by midnight (45 minutes ago) to close the gap that Hillary had created by pouring that amount of her own money into the race. And at 9:30, about $4.96 million had been raised already. As of this writing, Obama has raised $6.23 million since the polls closed on Super Tuesday, and the numbers keep climbing. I guess it really does pay to have lots of small-time donors feed you a little bit along the way.
