INDIANAPOLIS — Sen. Barack Obama's campaign hasn't announced this to the press yet, but their Web site this morning includes that graphic above marking a major milestone.

It's a nice piece of news for Obama on primary day - Indiana and North Carolina Democrats are heading to the polls in big numbers.

The campaign blog includes this explainer from 5:45 a.m.:

On the eve of the Indiana and North Carolina primaries, we reached another incredible landmark: the 1,500,000th person made a donation to this campaign.

This has been an incredible journey so far. Along the way, we've heard from countless supporters who had never donated to a campaign before now, and inspiring stories of people who have challenged themselves to donate, to organize, to canvass and call to help build this movement.

It wasn't so long ago the campaign reached the 1 million donor mark.
