Obama fund-raising email is all Nevada, doesn't mention S.C.

HENDERSON -- A national fund-raising e-mail from Barack Obama's presidential campaigns uses Nevada to frame how their national campaign is going.

The e-mail does not even mention South Carolina, though over the weekend the Obama and Hillary Clinton campaigns were trying to access whether the Nevada's caucus this Saturday or South Carolina's primary a week later was more important.

The e-mail is below:

I'm writing to you this morning from Las Vegas.

After the New Hampshire primary last week, we set a goal of 100,000 online donors in 2008 -- a goal we hoped to reach before the Nevada caucuses on Saturday.

Last night we got there five days early.

Think about that: 100,000 donors in 15 days.

That response has boosted our entire organization and proven that this movement for change is just getting started.

In town halls and rallies across Nevada, I can feel that momentum. And it's clear that more than 100,000 people are feeling it all across the country.

But we need to build an operation that can compete in all fifty states, so we are setting our sights even higher.

Our new goal: 125,000 donors by the Nevada caucuses this Saturday, January 19th.

Now is the time to step up and own a piece of this campaign. Your support is so crucial to reaching our goal that one of the supporters who already gave this year is waiting to match your gift today.

Because of you, this campaign is closer and more competitive than anyone imagined.

And with your support we'll head into Nevada 125,000 strong on Saturday.

Thanks,

Barack

P.S. -- Last night's debate ended with an unusual question. A Nevada voter sent an email asking each of the candidates when we decided to run for president. Here was my answer:
