Between them, the Democrats took in about three times in March what John McCain raised in January and February combined. That's good news for Democrats, but only, as Donna Brazile points out, if the money isn't "used to tear the party apart."Barack Obama raised more than $40 million in March to Hillary Clinton’s $20 million.

[Obama’s] haul in new donations also buttressed his argument to Democratic superdelegates that he has built a vast network of donors and volunteers that they wouldn’t want to lose by denying him the nomination.
Obama has attracted nearly 1.3 million donors, largely through the Internet.
He has raised $131 million in just the first three months of this year to $70 million for Clinton. Republican John McCain’s campaign has not revealed his March fundraising, but he has been far behind the Democrats, raising less than $23 million in January and February combined.
