Hillary Rodham Clinton raised $10 million in the 24 hours after winning the Pennsylvania primary, aided by contributions from 80,000 new donors, her campaign said Thursday.

The $10 million came from a total of 100,000 donors, spokesman Mo Elleithee said.

Clinton, who was strapped for cash going into Tuesday's contest against Barack Obama, started making fund-raising pleas as soon as the race was called. She told supporters during her nationally televised victory speech to go to her website to send money.

She continued making the point the next day in Indianapolis, telling supporters she was being outspent by Obama and that she has to ''hustle'' to keep up. She urged them to go to the Internet to read about her positions on the issues.

Clinton reported having just over $9 million cash on hand at the end of March and $10 million in debt, compared to Obama, who began April with more than four times the amount of money, or $40 million, in the bank. (AP)
