Did Hillary really raise $10 million in a day?
I looked at her April 30th, and it said she raised 9.5 million. However, I think that number is due to a lack of proper bookkeeping throughout the rest of the month.

If you look at her prior records we have:

January 31, 2008 6,370,081.66
February 29, 2008 14,695,631.90
March 31, 2008 8,525,621.13
April 30, 2008 9,504,619.08

http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2008/M5/C00431569/A_DATE_C00431569.html

So, her average is just over $10,000,000/day for the last day of the month so far this year.

According to those records, she did raise $10 million in 24 hours, but there are only 3 other days where she even raised $1 million, but for some reason on the last day of the month her donations skyrocket? It's clever manipulation of the media to say she raised $10 million in contributions in 24 hours when she knows how her bookkeeping is kept such that 1/2 of the month's money is raised in a day.

2. I Would Guess There Are Thousands Of Clinton Donors...
That have no idea they have donated to her campaign. No proof, but I think millions have been funneled to her illegally.

3. No and I think in all fairness the Clinton campaign never said it beyond
the habitual liar Terry Mac.

All of the campaigns show a big number the last day of the month.

If you take a closer look at the numbers you will also see that roughly 40% of her money was raised in Washington DC.
