It only took two days.

WASHINGTON -- The presidential campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) raised more than $1.2 million in the past two days off of an attack launched by a group supportive of Hillary Clinton.

The haul, collected through the website ActBlue, is an impressive feat even for a candidate who has outpaced the Democratic and Republican fields in online fundraising. And it illustrates the intense difficulty that Clinton will face in campaigning against him as the Democratic primary heats up. Any attack the former secretary of state or her allies launch against Sanders risks sparking an outpouring of support, financial and otherwise, for his candidacy.

"We've never seen an immediate donor response like what the Sanders campaign received on Tuesday. At one point, it drove 180 contributions through our platform per minute," said Erin Hill, executive director of ActBlue. “Over its 11-year history ActBlue has sent money to over eleven-thousand campaigns and committees — and the Bernie Sanders campaign holds the record for the two biggest donor days ever for a campaign on our platform."

The Sanders' campaign immediately launched a fundraising appeal on Tuesday once the Correct the Record memo became public.

"Yesterday, one of Hillary Clinton’s most prominent Super PACs attacked our campaign pretty viciously," the email read. "It was the kind of onslaught I expected to see from the Koch Brothers or Sheldon Adelson, and it’s the second time a billionaire Super PAC has tried to stop the momentum of the political revolution we’re building together."

In the 48 hours since, the Sanders campaign raised $1,209,506.25, according to a campaign official.

5. Hmmm, this is interesting.

I wonder how many people thought that the internet would not be useful for Bernie to raise funds after being attacked like that?

7. "Sam Stein Senior Politics Editor, The Huffington Post ", huh

That's pretty indicative to me that this incident has been duly noted on the referees score cards, and further violations are going to be watched for.

I have to wonder if the Clinton campaign is wondering if Brock is playing a dangerous game. I don't doubt he favors Clinton, but he might think he can have it all. Do the negative campaigning and make himself very prominent.

I'm not saying he directly engineered this particular result. But he might have figured his tactics would eventually make himself very prominent, one way or the other, and he was counting on it. He just wasn't figuring on it unfolding this way, so soon.
