Sen. Barack Obama's (D-Ill.) presidential campaign is raising contributions at the rate of $1 million a day so far this year, campaign manager David Plouffe said in a message to supporters Wednesday.

"In the first eight days of 2008, we raised over $8 million and gained 35,000 new donors. Since midnight last night, we have raised another $500,000 online," Plouffe stated. "We continue to build a grassroots movement that makes us best-positioned to compete financially in the primaries and caucuses coming up."
