Obama beating Clinton in Tampa Bay $
Where are Tampa Bay Democrats sending their campaign checks? Mainly to Barack Obama. Last year he raised more than $790,00 from Tampa Bay, compared to $417,000 in for Clinton. The Illinois senator nearly tripled her Tampa Bay haul in the final three months of '07, raising $306,000 to Clinton's $112,000.
Thanks to south Florida,Hillary still leads in Florida money-raising. She took in more than $6-million in Florida last year, compared to $3.5-million for Obama and $1.3-million for Edwards.

Clinton has a South Florid machine. Obama has done great attracting more donors giving smaller amounts. They are both killing the Republicans in fundraising.
