Sen. Barack Obama has posted his first campaign report since the end of the
contentious Democratic primary battle, and political reporters and bloggers
are already trying to ferret out whether donors to Sen. Hillary Clinton have
been helping her formal rival, now the party’s presumptive nominee.The Post has now conducted its own analysis of how Clinton supporters directed
their money in June. More than 2,200 Clinton donors became first-time Obama
donors, giving him $1.8 million of the $52 million he raised last month. Of
those, 355 contributed at least $2,000, for a total of $1 million….
This refutes the Huffington Post story earlier this week, which had Clinton HillRaiser
“bundlers” only giving around $100,000:
Aides to both Clinton and Obama said in interviews that the reason the Huffington
Post story found so few names was that it only counted the amount of money
donated by bundlers, not raised by them, and many bundlers raise significant
amounts of money without ever writing their own checks.
