Dear Reader,

The next few months are make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and we need more online readers to pitch in than have been of late. In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we take a level-headed look at the brutal economics of journalism, why investigative reporting like you get from us matters, and why we're optimistic we can grow our base of support in a big way—starting with hitting a huge $300,000 goal in just three weeks. Please learn more and donate if you can right now.

I brought you Obama’s numbers yesterday, so here are Hillary’s.

In comparison to Obama’s 93,000 new donors this third quarter of 2007, Clinton had 100,000.

In comparison to Obama’s $20 million raised, Clinton raised $27 million. (Just FYI, John Edwards raised $7 million. Richardson raised $5.2 million.)

Clinton’s the frontrunner, all right. Overall, she’s raised $90 million to Obama’s $80 million. What on earth are they going to do with all that money?
