Place your bets: How much $$ did Obama raise?

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

The rumours are flying fast and furious, with some (unreliable), internet rumours suggesting Obama raised as much as $35 million. Andrea Mitchell suggested on Hardball that he raised $25 million, which would be roughly equivalent to Hillary's $26 million. The lowest estimate I've seen is $20 million.

So what do YOU think? How much did Obama raise in Q1 2007?

1. Lynn Sweet alluded to him being tied if not surpassing Hillary. At least 25

[bigdarryl]

2. if he raised 35 million he's the next President

[illinoisprogressive]

3. I doubt 35, but, I dream of 30 to 32. That would be so cool.

[Adelante]

4. No it remains to be seen

How everyone does in the next two quarters. This first quarter is just a pony show.

5. I hope he wipes the floor with Hillary. *crosses fingers* n/t

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

6. My guess

$23 million

[Learn2Swim]

7. Probably between

23~25 million.

[NewHampshireDem]

8. $27 million

Or, twice what Rudy raised. ;)

[PresidentObama]

9. I'm going to play it safe at $22 million.

In between Senator Edwards at $14 million and Hillary at $26 million. If he raises more than Clinton, than uh-oh ;)

11. Lowballing, eh?

12. I thought Obama's numbers were already released?

[snowbear]

15. Nope, not yet...

Not according to the media anyway...

They said his campaign was still crunching the numbers.

.... .... .... ..

[Eurobabe]

13. $27.5 million

Do we get a prize if we win?

[Bluedogvoter]

14. It will be less than Hillary.

I'm guessing about 17 million.

[Bullet1987]

16. I'm thinking...

Somewhere between $21-$27 million...

[snowbear]

17. And... what makes you think that?

What exactly is your reasoning for thinking that way?

[Bluedogvoter]

21. My thinking.

Is Hillary already has ties to big donors and benefitted from it. Obama, although popular, isn't at that point yet.

[Comicstripper]

27. The Obama camp has said it's more than $20 million

So there. I'm guessing about what Hillary raised.

[featherman]

18. Can't recall the source but I heard a $22 million estimate somewhere

[Norrin Radd]

19. Obillion dollars.

[FrenchieCat]

25. Sounds Oright to Me!

[Imagevision]

[bigdarryl]

22. Obama comes accross as a nice down to earth guy and Hillary viewed as PHONEY he win the debates hand

[mtnsnake]

23. $27,455,000

[Bright Eyes]

[Colobo]

26. When are the Obama people releasing those numbers???

I'm anxious!

[thoughtcrime1984]

28. 25 mil

GOBAMA!

[BenDavid]

29. Well, well, we get to see soon

what he raised, but folks here is the kicker......Look at how much he raises this next go round and if he even stays close to HRC.

Oh and if you all are thinking wait till the debates cause Obama will shine...uh huh keep thinking that, because Obama is not too fast at thought as in his last Larry King interview.....HRC will be ready and will have been tested many times over and of course her sparring partner will be WJC.

Yes wait till the debates and see HRC check Obama and when the time is right she will bluff him and he will not know what to do.Then she will call him and raise and there my friends is your nominee for the 08 democratic party and the next President of the United States.....uh huh

[Ethelk2044]

31. He will do fine against Hillary

People already see Hillary as a talking point person and it will be worst if goes up against someone who does because they will be able to see what she is all about.

[AtomicKitten]

30. $26,000,000.01

Hillary raised $26 million in campaign cash.

Gobama.
