I knew Obama was vastly outraising Hillary Clinton, but in March, he took in $40 million to her $20 million. That's huge. Obama, it turns out, has raised more than $130 million in the first three months of 2008. At this rate, can't he just pay McCain and Clinton to drop out? More impressive. Obama's fundraising doesn't require Obama to do very much fundraising. Since January 1st, Clinton has attended more than a dozen fundraisers, while Bill Clinton has headlined more than 40. Obama and his wife have attended fewer than 10 over the period. That means he doesn't have to waste hours shaking hands with rich people or flying back-and-forth from California. That means he can spend all that time campaigning. It's a real advantage.
