Oh the irony

Although Hillary has raised more money than Obama from the super-wealthy -- people who can donate $4,600 at a time -- Obama is now in a better position to raise money than she is.

Why? Obama has more support from upper-middle class folks than Hillary, whose supporters tend to be less affluent -- and therefore less likely to donate $100 or $200 online.

This counter is really in-your-face.

I am still having trouble seeing how Hillary can win the contest at this point.
