Barack Obama is winning the fundraising race for Hoosier’s campaign contributions, reports the Louisville Courier-Journal.

Democrat Barack Obama is now the top recipient of Hoosier dollars in the presidential race, according to the Federal Election Commission.

The Illinois senator raised more than $197,000 from Indiana in February, the most of any of the Democratic or Republican candidates and enough to push Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York out of first place for total dollars raised from the state.

At the end of February, Obama had raised $664,510 from Indiana and Clinton had raised $584,632. Republican John McCain, who came in second in February fundraising, now ranks third overall with $356,185.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton need to continually raise money because they are locked in an endless battle for the Democratic party’s nomination.  John McCain doesn’t have to worry as much about funding until the general election because he has already sown up the GOP’s delegate count.
