Obama's $30 Million+ Haul

Barack Obama raised more than $1 million a day in March, or more than $30 million.

According to a campaign source I talked to, his total for the month will be around $32 million.

Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, is looking at a fund-raising total of about $20 million, according to Time. Although short of Obama's total, it is still a significant figure at this point in the process.

Obama raised $55 million in February, a record setting figure that surely was helped by his 11 straight victories in primaries and caucuses that month.

Clinton raises money in Los Angeles on Thursday, at an event at the Wilshire Theater. Obama raises money in Northern California this weekend.
