NEW ALBANY, Ind. — Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s fund-raising roared to life on Wednesday, with her campaign collecting more than $8 million in the hours after she won the Pennsylvania primary, and the fresh infusion of cash immediately went to helping her mount a vigorous fight in Indiana, the next primary state.

Mrs. Clinton’s overnight fund-raising success, however, gave her the means to compete on a more level field with Mr. Obama. Her chief fund-raiser, Terry McAuliffe, said the campaign was on track to raise nearly $10 million in online donations in the 24 hours after her Pennsylvania victory, the campaign’s best one-day money haul.

Indiana, like North Carolina, holds its primary on May 6. Mrs. Clinton is seeking to replicate her campaigns from Ohio and Pennsylvania to win over voters there who share many similarities and concerns. She arrived in Indianapolis on Wednesday sharply focused on the economy, by far the chief concern of Democratic voters across the country, according to exit polls. She promised that as president she would deliver “jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs” across the Rust Belt, which has seen a severe erosion of manufacturing jobs in recent decades.

A senior Clinton aide said that she would tailor her message in Indiana to appeal to lower-income workers in the cities and to voters in rural areas and small towns.

The aide said Mrs. Clinton would continue to raise questions about Mr. Obama’s readiness to face the many economic and national security challenges facing the country. He did not rule out running some version of an advertisement that the campaign ran in the final days of the Pennsylvania race showing images of the Great Depression, Pearl Harbor and Osama bin Laden and questioning Mr. Obama’s fitness to lead in perilous times.

She has two advertisements on the air in Indiana, both focusing on trade and the loss of jobs.

Her campaign is also circulating fliers in Indiana criticizing Mr. Obama’s health care plan, claiming that it would leave 15 million Americans uncovered, a claim Mr. Obama disputes.

As they campaigned Wednesday in Indiana, Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama intensified their vigorous behind-the-scenes fight for superdelegates, with them and their surrogates making calls to win over people who are uncommitted or suddenly unsure of whom to support.

Well, this by far outdoes any of Obama's one-day money contributions.

Hillary will be the chosen nominee. I like her because she knows her place and is a moderate democrat. Although I hate all 3 candidates, if it is McCain v. Hillary, that is the safest combination.

Hmm a moderate democrat? Her votes show that she is a socialist-leaning democrat not moderate-leaning at all. That could just be my perception but I always see her as someone who enjoys the destruction of the individual.

in comparison to obama....

her husband was a very moderate democrat. if you ever hear him speak (which I did), he always makes it abundantly clear how he worked with republicans, is for lower taxes, etc.

he's a moderate/conservative democrat and will be a huge factor in the presidency...that is why she is safer.

my goodness, imagine michelle "i hate america" obama

Yeah I saw that.
Quite a load to bring in in such a short amount of time.

Too bad Obama has like forty million sitting in the bank. The guy is a cash cow somehow.

That being said, Ron Paul was making these kind of money records early on in the race as an almost unknown man. So I'm not impressed by this.

To say the surge in Hillary's coffers of campaing money as an indication of Bye bye Obama is absurd. Obama outspent hillary 3 to 1 and he did not win. Apply the same theory to Hillary. Hillary could raise 100 million dollars and it wont matter one bit to the NC primary. Money raised does not mean voters converted.

She has moved increasingly closer in that state.

Let her raise the money. Obama has the lead and will keep it. In the coming states he is leading and that isn't going to change.

Superdelegates who have endorsed Obama will start switching to Clinton soon (other than the negroes of course), and undecided will propel her to victory.

Look, the Democrats put Obama up...they lose
