Source: Edwards Appearance On Morning Shows Brings In Big Fundraising Bucks Today
By Greg Sargent - December 31, 2007, 1:30PM


Here's another way that appearing on the morning shows, as John Edwards did this morning, can pay off.

A source familiar with the Edwards camp's fundraising numbers tells me that between 11 AM and noon today -- after Edwards appeared on CBS, CNN and The Today Show -- the campaign raised more money online than they have in any previous hour of the campaign.

The source says that more than one third of today's donors are first-timers, and adds that virtually all the contribs are under $100.

What's more, the source claims that the Edwards campaign has raised more money online during this quarter, which ends today, than in any previous quarter. All in all, these are perhaps more signs of Edwards momentum heading into the Iowa caucuses.

The campaign may make exact figures known a bit later this afternoon -- stay with us.

Late Update: I left out perhaps the most interesting thing. This morning the Obama campaign announced in their Powerpoint presentation that they have an average of 1.6 contributions per donor.

According to my source, the Edwards campaign will announce later today that they've surpassed that, with 1.8 contributions per donor.

1. Was that after he lied about his campaign's dire financial straits...

because he opted to take public funding and is limited by the conditions of taking it?

Yeah, imagine that. Edwards lied. Has 50 million and is, poor him, out of money.

2. Yeah, I think that would be after he lied. LOL
