"Bernie Sanders Reaches 1 Million Donations Faster Than Any Presidential Campaign in History"

This article is a month old, but I felt it was worth mentioning (again, if it's been posted before).

And dedicated Super PACS are not part of the equation.

This morning, the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign announced that it had crossed the threshold of one million individual contributions to his campaign.

As the Wall Street Journal notes, this is a record for U.S. presidential campaigns. During his 2008 run, Barack Obama did not reach this threshold until February of 2008. During his 2012 run for re-election, he did not hit it until October 2011.
