Barack Obama’s campaign manager said they’ve raised $5 million online since the polls closed in South Carolina, and they’ll be advertising on television in New York starting tomorrow.

“We will be going on New York broadcast television and Philadelphia broadcast television tomorrow with a couple of spots, which we’ll be sending around later today,” national campaign manager David Plouffe told reporters on a conference call just now.

“We will be beefing up our buy in the Los Angeles market,” he said, while noting that the campaign is already running radio ads in places like Alaska and Idaho.

UPDATE: Consultant Joe Mercurio, who follows campaign ad buys, just told me, "When the dust settles I would not be surprised if Super Tuesday gets only as much money as little baby Iowa and New Hampshire combined received."

Mr. TAA (not verified) says:

Barack IS "Change" in a time when our nation badly needs some one who can walk the walk as well as talk it. Hillary means well but there is just something about putting another Clinton in the White house when they couldn't take care of their own house. I have lived through tough times , but it's clear to myself and others our nation has been steer into "The Perfect Storm" Please remember this when Barack takes the helm of this out of control ship. He will need all of our prayers as well as support.
