Holy @#*&^@#$. The last time I looked at that number it was just after March 4 - at 1,045,000.

This is absolutely incredible.

I glanced at it Tuesday evening after the speech and the counter was a million, six hundred thousand something (really don't remember what the rest of the numbers were.) My son came home from several days backpacking on Wednesday and I looked at it again and it was at 1,707,000. I remarked to him that it was good that the donations were coming in - it meant that people were listening to his speech and responding to it. But to see the number increase by about 275,000 in the 3 days since then is pretty amazing.

I am not surprised. My donations to Obama have been based on desire for real change Senator Obama represents and to turn the page away form devisive/code word/ triangulation politics. Senator Obamas themes have played out in fascinating ways I may not have expected, but the crass devisive Politics , lack of transparency and lack of reality of the Clinton campaign has reinforced my views one hundred times over. No states she lost matter no matter how embarassing the margin, no endorsement for Obama matters as they are useless ( or Judas ) and no fact matters ( ie NAFTA support) as they can simply create your own reality. This is what Bush and his people have done for 8 years and we are in a really bad place. Change isnt easy but it is coming . The number of donations from people who realy care are part of the proof as are the young people and enthusiasm across the Country. As all Obama supporters should now know, you have to stand tall and face to face with the many forces resisting change ( Clintonists, Hard core Republicans and Right wing media outlets) and in a polite way explain why you are for Obama. That is the example Senator Obama has done his best to show since the beginning, and yes, his supporters can as well. Now go on line and gove alittle more as we need to ensure the March numbers keep track with Clintons who will have a very good March in fundraising. Yes we can.

Not so fast -- I've been called a little paranoid at DailyKos, but no one seems able to link to this counter independently. And the odd thing -- the last three digits are always as "525". Now, some people are saying the counter is "rounding up." But it never did before when it was on Obama's homepage before March 4.

So I'm skeptical. No one would be happier than me if it's true. I would assume if it hits 2,000,000 today or tomorrow, there will be some official press about it.

Right now I'm staying cautious.

Excellent news !!!

Makes sense to me. Apparently people are paying attention.

My math skills aren't the best, and am not up on the rules for the general, but lessee....

If every donor maxes out....

2,0000,000 X $2,300 = $4 Billion.

Plus, thats two MILLION smaller donors, like me, who have never felt they had a voice in what happens to us. People who have grown increasingly unhappy with the Washington power elites who have managed to LOSE presidential elections over and over again. It is not lost on me that these power players are precisely the ones who oppose this change from elite rule to grass roots, 50-state party-building.

It's a necessary struggle to reclaim the soul of teh party, to start to shove back against the overwhelming power of the concentrated corporation, including the corporate media that fewer and fewer own. But the people are speaking. It's time for the "leaders" to scramble now to get to the head of the parade.

"Those are my people. I must follow them, for I am their leader." -- Ghandi.

It's now going to get very, very serious. I fear for my country, but have great hope, too. Change is the essense of who we are, and trust we will not be afraid any more.

I was with 57andFemale while I was reading this. THe post that followed hers did get my hopes to rise a bit, but come on. The guys amazing, the campaign is amazing, the people that support him are amazing, but an additional million in what, 5 weeks?

And then this...http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/samgrahamfelsen/gGgxnk

The fact that the Obama campaign hasn't been publicizing this number at all, in contrast to the run-up to the first million donors (remember all the emails that you got, before and after the moment?) is a good sign the counter is broken and tabulating something else.

Is that individual donors, or donations? If it's the latter, it should say donations rather than donors.

If these numbers are accurate, it is over. I would have thought about 1.4M to 1.7M. but 1.90M is special. I contributed average amount on 2/26/08 I was at about 997,000 in the contributer line(I wanted to be in the first 1M). The last number I saw was about 1.2M contributers. This would mean roughly 1M in a month.

This may be a reaction to Wright as many did not believe the hype, the speech concerning race, and the recognition that HRC is toast by many who had not contributed. Obama did reach much deeper levels than the MSM generally reports, which may account for the numbers in recent days and weeks.

Also, Clinton is effectively in debt, and if these numbers are correct Obama may exceed the $55M in Feb. which suggest $150M in the first quarter. With about 2M contributers who are not tapped out for the primaries, the numbers in dollars become NUTS. In the fall on average $100 X 2M coattails become factories; hell the factories would be with only 1.5M contributers.

THIS IS NEW DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So do you think he's got more money now that Mitt Romney had?

I understand we need be cautious, but it inspired me to send another contribution.

Please everyone that has a primary coming up, please, please vote in your primary. You just might seal the deal.

CAMPAIGN TELLS POLITICO IT IS NOT ACCURATE.

Which sounds right as 1 million new donors in 20 days or less would be something else.

I just made my first donation.

Obama won the state of Texas with delegates and considering he was down by 20 points, I would say money matters.

Since I've never been called for an opinion poll, I thought the best poll for me is to make a contribution to the Obama campaign. :-)

I just looked at Hillary's site and she's at 666,666.

I'm not sure how I found this blog but I'm glad I came here. On another note, I believe this 2 million donor is real. I was viewing Obama's speech on race, "A More Perfect Union", and it has become a favorite on YouTube with over 3,000,000 views since March 18th.

If this transfers to donations, I can believe
Obama is increasing donors at a phenomenal rate since his speech.

And 90% of his money still from Rezko and Oprah

Just for the record, I also decided to donate $50 after I was deeply moved by his Speech on Race. So I am assuming many others were similarly moved to donate as well.

So Merlot, your saying money matters more than ideas?

What are you talking about? "macrotrendic." lol I'm a person who NEVER GAVE TO ANY CANDIDATES CAMPAIGN until now in the month of March. Why? Because the mainstream media was getting on my last nerve and I had only one option to have my voice hear. Contribute to the Obama capaign! If you consider that "macrotrendic," so be it! It felt good and I encouraged my friends to give too! :-)
