国际英语新闻：Clinton to net $10 mln after Pa. win

 WASHINGTON, April 23 (Xinhua) -- Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York is on track to collect 10 million U.S. dollars of donations in the 24 hours after she won the April 22 Democratic presidential primary in Pennsylvania, her campaign said Wednesday.

    That would be her best 24-hour fundraising total yet, said campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe, who called the Pennsylvania win a "game-changing" event that has inspired supporters.

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) (L), former President Bill Clinton (C) and their daughter Chelsea Clinton applaud on stage during a rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, April 21, 2008.

Within hours after she beat rival Sen. Barrack Obama of Illinois in Pennsylvania by 55 percent to 45 percent, she has already netted 2.5 million dollars.

    It grew to 5 million dollars by midday Wednesday and is expected to top 10 million dollars by end of the day.

    However, the Clinton campaign still has 10.3 million dollars indebts and she still needs to do more to catch up with Obama's superior fundraising record.

    Obama began the month of April with 42 million dollars in the bank, in comparison to Clinton's 9.3 million dollars in bank.

    In March Obama raised 41 million dollars, twice as much as Clinton.

    But the former first lady's impressive win in Pennsylvania appeared to begin changing that dynamic.

    Her campaign expected Clinton to beat her own March fundraising total this month.
