It's a possibility.

Ben Smith's blog picked up this story yesterday but an Obama staffer wrote in to say that the image was a result of a technical glitch. My understanding is that the image isn't even used on his site any more, its left over from the 1 million donors drive.

This graph is inaccurate.

Here is a correction the campaign sent to Politico...

"Obama aides say the graphic is inaccurate, due to a technical
glitch. Clearly the frame is out of date, but that automated ticker
does seem to be ticking something. I'll add more detail if I get it."

Would love this to be true, but no way.

Even 1.1 million, in other words adding 100,000 in March, would be really impressive.

That's clearly wrong. The graph is no longer even up on the site. Yes, they will have a lot of donors in March and will most likely bury HRC again but those numbers are sooo off base that I am surprised guys who call themselves experts would be fooled.
