Democrats raising millions for campaigning by Sandra Stoklaskova

U.S. presidential bid is going on and all candidates are spending huge amounts of money for their campaigns to attract voters. Representatives of both Democratic and Republican parties are still in game trying to work out as much as possible from their campaigning. But this is not a cheap business, as each of these candidates has already spent millions, believing to win White House bid.Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton Rodham are not departure from the rule, too. They have already expended together 13.6 million dollars. Former first lady raised since Super Tuesday $6.4 million and her rival Obama collected $7.2 million, accurately. This money, for sure, did not come from their own pocket. Obama gathered it as funds from large donors and small Internet contributors. His concurrent Clinton raised the money in a way of online surge of donations from 35,000 new contributors.But these numbers are not all. In 2007 both Democrats raised each $100 million in their narrow fight for the Democratic presidential nomination.However, campaigning continues. Obama is still rejecting debates with Clinton, observing increasing need of spending some time with potential voters. He said: "I have got to spend some time with voters, because Clinton is better known in a lot of these states." Obama is concentrating on helping people in New Orleans to recover from Hurricane Katrina. He wants to improve schools, levees, and also health system. Clinton with lower budget is going to concentrate her campaign on Ohio, Texas a Pennsylvania, as she believes that a lot of older people will vote for the former first lady.
