Barack Obama raised almost $6 million after the Feb. 5 voting contests, all of which came from online donations.
Obama's campaign manager David Plouffe said in a letter to supporters that $3 million was raised the evening after Tuesday's primaries and caucuses. A live ticker attached to his e-mail, showing donations, recorded $5.8 million as of 11:30 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday.
In total, Plouffe said, more than 650,000 people have contributed to the Illinois senator's campaign.
The announcement came the same day that Senator Hillary Clinton of New York said she loaned her presidential campaign $5 million last month. Shortly after announcing the loan, Clinton sent out a fundraising e-mail seeking to raise $3 million in three days.
