By comparison, Clinton raised only $20 million in the same period and had only $8 milion on hand for the Pennsylvania primary.
McCain's campaign reported raising $15.2 million in March and had $11.6 million in the bank. The Arizona senator's March figures were his best fundraising performance of the campaign.
Nonetheless, Obama has out-fundraised both Clinton and McCain combined.
Is Pennsylvania Clinton's Last Stand?
With the Keystone State the last major big-state primary before the Democratic Convention, Clinton must win by a greater than 60 percent vote margin to have any hope of stopping Obama's march to the nomination.
But with polls showing Clinton with, at best, only a nine-point lead -- and some polls showing the two combatants locked a statistical dead heat -- her argument to the party's supedelegates that she'd be the most electable nominee -- an argument already undermined by her Bosnia debacle -- could end up going down the drain, no matter what happens in Pennsylvania.
