55,000 From 1.5 Million

Will Barack Obama's campaign reach its goal of 1.5 million donors by May 6? Does it even matter? 1.5 million is a nice, whole number and a great talking point, but 1.45m isn't exactly a failure. At $50 a pop, 1.5 million donors can fund a $75,000,000 general election campaign. The Obama campaign has kept mum about its plans for the general election, but here's betting they've done the math, too.
