Ambinder reports:
Peter Daou, Hillary Clinton's internet director, confirms that, by midnight last night, the campaign had recieved more than $10 million in web-based contributions. efforts. Not pledges. Not promises. But $10 million transferred directly from the credit and debit cards of about 100,000 donors. (The average donation was about $100 -- which means that the campaign steered some bigger donors to the net.)
It's an impressive haul, and the largest one day total of the campaign for any candidate. So here's the question: could Republicans be contributing to this number in any significant way? Given McCain's fundraising troubles, there have to be a lot of folks who contributed to Bush in 2000 and 2004 but haven't given a dime yet in this cycle. And if these folks aren't McCainiacs, they almost certainly loathe Obama. Maybe they figure they get more bang for their buck by giving to Hillary.
