Of course he did for 2 reasons
1) Obama seems to be the only Democrat running, thus there isnt any splitting of the funds taking place
2) Fundraising from Republicans normally take place at the Party level, not the candidate level.
If would make absolutely no sense to contribute to a GOP candidate at the moment, until after we determine who the nominee is going to be.
The reality is that campaign contributions are a direct reflection of how enthusiastically a politician is supported. Not only did President Obama break his own record for campaign contributions at this stage of a campaign he did it with 250,000 NEW contributiors and the majority of contributors were under $250.
The handwriting is on the wall you just don't want to read it.
The stimulus went out to contractors making them rich and some richer, Obama hands out waivers on his own healthcare plan to his friends, he bends over to the Homosexuals to repeal DADT and tells the courts to ignore the DOMA and on and on so how would anyone expect those same people not to contribute to him in large numbers, he is an excellent Con artist, tell them what they want to hear, hand out bribes and go against your belief all in the name of votes and never considering what the consequences the future will bring..
Sheesh look at the snark and nastiness over the most trivial news report. Of course he is ahead, he is the incumbent,with no competition. Even the most hardcore conservative business types are putting a few dollars on Secretariat. We'll see if the Rs can field a Sea Biscuit, but that will take a while. Most I see so far look like Mr. (or Mrs.) Ed.
Right. Because all the GOP candidates are interchangeable copies of each other and it would make no sense at all to prefer one over the other...
When its all said and done, we have 2 different parties, with 2 vastly different ideaologies. I have no interest at all in pissing away money by sending it to a candidate that isnt ultimately going to be campaigning against Obama.

The reality is Obama is getting campaign contributions ahead of time because HE IS THE ONLY candidate running that shares his ideaology. I dont at all get excited by people sending in these amounts because I'd bet its similar to his last election, where many of the campaign contributions werent even traceable back to real individuals, using bought credit cards, and fake names.
