Clinton Raises $27 Million In Q3

Sen. Hillary Clinton's (D-NY) presidential campaign raised about $27 million dollars over the past three months, with $22 million for the primary, the Huffington Post has confirmed.

The campaign also reports that 100,000 new donors contributed to the campaign in Q3.

Hillary's latest fundraising numbers roughly match her total from Q2, a unique feat -- all the other Democratic candidates reported a sharp drop in fundraising this quarter. Clinton's total was substantially greater than Sen. Barack Obama's (D-IL) $20 million take, giving her campaign its first quarterly fundraising victory in the race thus far.

Clinton's campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle told supporters in an email, "This is the moment when you showed that America is ready for change and that you are ready to make history. This is the moment when your dedication defied the skeptics."

UPDATE: Obama press secretary Bill Burton responds in a statement to the Huffington Post: "More than 350,000 Americans have already signaled the kind of change they want in Washington by contributing to the Obama campaign. We have raised a historic $74.9 million in dollars available for primary spending, without transferring one cent from any other campaign fund and with no money from federal lobbyists or PACs."

Clinton has raised $62.6 million that can be used during the primaries, plus $10 million transferred from her Senate account.
