WASHINGTON (CNN) — While top Obama strategist David Axelrod predictably touted his candidate's performance at Thursday's debate, he was mum on the battle for fundraising dollars.

"We'll see," Axelrod said with a smile, when asked if Illinois Sen. Barack Obama would beat top rival, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, in second quarter fundraising.

"I feel good about what we have done," Axelrod added. "As I speak we have received donations from more than 250,000 people, which is historic — it shows the support at the grassroots."

(With apologies to the late great Robert Palmer)

How can it be permissible
She'll compromise our principles, yeah yeah
Her elective lust is mythical
She is anything but typical

She's a craze we can't endorse, she's a powerful farce
You're not obliged to conform, 'cause there is another course
She used to look good to Bill, but now I find her

Simply unelectable
Simply unelectable

Her money ain't so powerful, huh
Her candidacy is voidable
Her trend is so reversible
The woman is so vincible

She's unnatural law, she don't leave me no awe
She deserves no applause, don't surrender because
She used to look good to Bill, but now I find her

Simply unelectable
Simply unelectable

Simply unelectable
She's so shrill, there's no tellin' where her real voice went
Simply unelectable
She's not ours, there's another way to go

She is so avoidable, don't get backed against the wall
She gives me icy feelings like I never felt before
She'll break all promises, she'll break most every law
She used to look good to Bill, but now I find her

Simply unelectable
She's so shrill, there's no tellin' where her real voice went
Simply unelectable,
She's not ours, there's another way to go

Her mind is most inscrutable
The proof is irrefutable, Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
She's totally dismissible, huh
Our lives are incompatible

She's a craze we can't endorse, she's a powerful farce
You're not obliged to conform, 'cause there is another course
She used to look good to Bill, but now I find her

Simply unelectable
Simply unelectable

She's so shrill, there's no tellin' where her real voice went
Simply unelectable, She's not ours, there's another way to go
She's so shrill, there's no tellin' where her real voice went
Simply unelectable, She's not ours, there's another way to go

Simply unelectable

That is fairly funny, but let's be nice. We need a new kind of politics which doesn't focus on attack and distortions. I am not a Hillary fan myself, but we should not attack her.
