Barack & Roll!!!
So, not quite the coup that I forecast Monday, i.e. actually outraising Hillary, but tactically Barack Obama still manages a stunner:
Hillary Clinton is undoubtedly worried -- as well she should be.
UPDATE: A couple of interesting observations on Obama's haul: 1) TPMCafe notes that Obama had more online donors than Hillary had total donors!
2) Andrew Sullivan dubs him the "frontrunner" and says that Hillary looks like the "freshman."

Democrat Barack Obama raked in $25 million for his presidential bid in the first three months of 2007, placing him on a par with front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton and dashing her image as the party’s inevitable nominee.As mentioned before, while the dollar-figure for a relative newcomer is amazing, the number of donors -- 100,000 -- is mindblowing. That shows that he's managed to create a network of low-dollar contributors, which is nectar of the gods for anyone involved in political fundraising.
The donations came from an eye-popping 100,000 donors, the campaign said in a statement.
Hillary Clinton is undoubtedly worried -- as well she should be.
