<p>Our politics reporter Holly Yeager (who is inside a ballroom at <a href="http://www.cpac.org/">CPAC</a>) just shot me a message from her Blackberry with news from Clinton’s campaign. Yesterday Holly noted Clinton loaned herself $5 million presumably to stay out of the red, but today the campaign’s looking much more flush according to an email from Clinton’s camp:</p>
<blockquote>You exceeded our $3 million goal in less than 24 hours. In fact, we’ve already hit FOUR MILLION DOLLARS! Incredible! And so far, more than 35,000 people — 35,000! — have made online contributions.<br />
Your response has been so amazing that we are doubling our goal: $6 million in 72 hours.
</blockquote>
<p>So is her campaign rolling in it? Or are we being spun?

Ha!
They just donated their own money to the campaign, and Obama brought in $6M in that same 24hour period.
Hmm. How to spin this? How to…? I know; let’s count actual contributors!
35,000 looks bigger in print than 6 million, especially if we say it *twice* with emphasis!, so we win the PR game again.
