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. That dwarfed the $13.5 million in January that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is expected to report Wednesday and the $12 million Senator John McCain’s campaign said he brought in for the month.

That comparison along should give the "Democratic Party Establishment" pause. How do the Super Delegates turn their backs on that kind of fund raising prowess? Not just for his campaign, but for other Dem campaigns in the future. If Senator X is running in state Y and Obama shows up for a fund raiser.... the $'s will pour in.
