From The Hill:

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) communications director Thursday said he expects the campaign to take in about $27 million in the second quarter but added that he anticipates Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) to “significantly” eclipse that total.

So the Clinton camp is lowering expectations while raising them for the Obama campaign. Is it honest or is it playing politics? I have no idea but the fact that both candidates will raise that much money in the second quarter is amazing, I mean utterly amazing. It also means bad news for John Edwards and other candidates and it makes it more difficult for Al Gore if he runs.

Think about it, I am sure Gore can get a ton of Hollywood support and even some business support, but can he raise that much money if he jumps in around September?

Now remember one thing, Money is by no means the final determinate. All the money in the world cannot help if one or both of the campaigns start flubbing up or of the electorate doesn’t want them. Still its pretty darn impressive.
