Edwards Donors Favor Obama -- Political Wire

Edwards Donors Favor Obama

According to analysis by CQ MoneyLine, John Edwards' former donors broke toward Sen. Barack Obama by a 2-to-1 margin over Sen. Hillary Clinton in February, the first full month after Edwards dropped out of the Democratic presidential nomination fight.

The analysis "identified 287 former Edwards contributors who donated to Obama for the first time during his record-breaking $56 million month. Collectively, though, the former Edwards donors amounted to a small fraction of Obama's haul, sending in $200,000. In comparison, Clinton banked $114,000 from 138 Edwards donors who had not given to her in past months as she piled up a personal-best $35 million in February."
