This e-mail from Barack Obama just showed up in my inbox. Listen to this:

As you know, we’ve won 27 of 41 contests and have maintained our commanding lead among pledged delegates.

But today I want to share another staggering number: supporters like you donated more than $55 million to this campaign in the month of February.

That’s a humbling achievement, and I am very grateful for your support.

No campaign has ever raised this much in a single month in the history of presidential primaries. But more important than the total is how we did it — more than 90% of donations were $100 or less, and more than 385,000 new donors in February pushed us past our goal of more than 1,000,000 people owning a piece of this campaign.

That is amazing. Just amazing. Not so much the total amount raised, which is ridiculous, but the fact that 90% of it came in $100 chunks. Sen. Obama is right. This campaign is not about him. It’s about the hopes of those 1,000,000 people…myself and my wife included.

His e-mail continues:

From the beginning, this campaign has always been funded by a movement of grassroots supporters giving whatever they can afford. And unlike Senator Clinton and Senator McCain, we have never taken money from lobbyists or PACs.

Senator Clinton has decided to use her resources to wage a negative, throw-everything-including-the-kitchen-sink campaign. John McCain has clinched the Republican nomination and is attacking us daily. But I will continue to vigorously defend my record and make the case for change that will improve the lives of all Americans.

Despite your generosity in February, I need your help to continue this battle on two separate fronts.

Please make a donation of $25 today.

And in case you haven’t heard, after all the delegates have been apportioned from Tuesday’s primaries, here’s where various sources have their tallies:

• Obama Campaign: Clinton +187, Obama +183
• NY Times: Clinton +159, Obama +144
• CNN: Clinton +158, Obama, +137
• AP: Clinton +185, Obama +173

I don’t know about the Obama Campaign number, but none of the others include the Texas Caucus, which with about 41% reporting, has Obama up 56% to 44%. I’m guessing the Obama campaign is claiming a number of those delegates in their math.

If you average all those delegates together, it works out that Sen. Clinton only picked up twelve more than Sen. Obama. That’s hardly what I would call a resurgent campaign.

The bad news, though, is that the an analysis by the AP suggests that, while, “Hillary Rodham Clinton won’t catch Barack Obama in the race for Democratic delegates chosen in primaries and caucuses, even if she wins every remaining contest…Obama cannot win the nomination with just his pledged primary and caucus delegates either.”

I’m telling you folks, it’s going to be a brokered convention.
