Yesterday, Hillary Clinton gained a much needed boost in the Democratic Primary when she won Pennsylvania. Analysts say that this win was crucial in order to stay a competitive candidate in the election. This win couldn't have come at a better time as Clinton was running low on campaign funding. At the end of March, "the campaign revealed that at the end of March it had just over $9 million in the bank and $10 million in debt". Her victory instantly resulted in numerous donations. Claiming it was the best fundraising day ever, Clinton recieved nearly $10 million dollars by the middle of today, many via the internet.
Although this has given Clinton some momentum in her campaign she still trails behind Sen. Barack Obama. Obama has recieved larget amounts of funding through campaign websites. Both sides will have to turn their attention to beyond the primary in order to be able to take on Sen. McCain.
