$1 million a day?

From NBC’s Ron Allen
You asked what happened to those Clinton pronouncements about raising $1 million a day? Well, today the senator insisted the campaigned raised $1 million yesterday, but going back from there, the campaign hasn’t hit that million-dollar milestone every day.
The campaign claims it hit the million-dollar figure every day in February. But after March 4th, when Ohio and Texas voted, things changed. On March 5th, the campaign claims $3 million rolled in. Since then, though, the money has "ebbed and flowed." The ebbs might explain why Obama is outspending Clinton by some 5-to-1 on TV ads in Pennsylvania. And, as of last week, she wasn’t even on air in Indiana and North Carolina, but Obama was spending $2 million a week, as he is in Pennsylvania, NBC News reported.
Nonetheless, as Sen. Clinton was about to leave today’s press conference, she said assuredly, "We're raising the money we need, and we're paying our bills."
Still, she heads out West later this week to appear on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and will hold a few private gatherings to raise more money.
