Today was the deadline to file FEC reports for March fundraising. If you're a geek like me, view the actual reports here: Barack Obama, John McCain, Hillary Clinton.
Obama had another huge month, raised $41 million and entered April with $51 million cash on hand, $42 million of which was available for use in the primary. Clinton raised $21 million and McCain raised $15 million.
I'm still trying to figure out how much Clinton has for the primary and how much she has for the general. At most, she entered April with about $12 million available for the primary.
Excluding the $5 million Clinton lent to her campaign, she reported more than $10 million in debt -- about half of which was owed to Mark Penn's firm.
Update: I should have taken a look at AMERICAblog before posting this! Joe Sudbay has a good rundown. The bottom-line: As far as the primary is concerned, Clinton began April in the red -- she owed more money than she had in the bank.
