Obama Gets An On-Line Fundraising Tidal Wave!!!!!

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

Wow!!!

A source inside the Obama campaign says the candidate's web site has seen one of its best hours tonight, raising $525,000 in one hour. A senior aide inside the Obama campaign said the candidate's site saw its "highest peak" tonight in both online donations and traffic, "bigger than after Iowa, bigger than after New Hampshire."

The Obama campaign measures online donations every 15 minutes, and the source said that online money was pouring in at the rate of more than $500,000 per hour.

1. Gosh. He's inevitable. Just like the messiah.

[ellisonz]

5. Umm...no.

But he can now afford to compete with Hillary in the big media markets.

[NightWatcher]

2. he might have gotten support from people who think that the "electability" question was answered

I'm curious to see if this trend continues into Super Tuesday.

[krkaufman]

22. Or he's getting support now, after people see that Hillary's not so inevitable.

As w/ TV pundits, it can be spun in a multitude of ways. Bottom line is... that's a boatload of cash coming in.

6. I like this comment

to the above post on the Washington Post blog:

I just donated $55 to the campaign in honor of the 55% of SC primary voters who voted for Obama. Thank you, South Carolina!

It took a couple tries for my donation to go through because the system was so busy... the only time in my life that I've been okay with server issues. I'm just glad that there are so many other Obama supporters out there inspired by his message of unity and hope.

7. Guess I'll wait till tomorrow.....

I don't want to crash the site! LOL!

18. Go, Frenchie!

Hey, Hillary! Turn around !

[Egnever]

8. He will need it

This thing is going to get really ugly before its over. He will need every penny to fight off the slime thats going to pour his way over the next week.

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

9. agreed

[RoveRage]

16. Spot on. We just think it's been ugly up to this point.

[GalleryGod]

14. ...

11. I hope he buys a couple Super Bowl Adds !

If you can't compete with Pepsi and Budweiser how are you supposed to keep our nation safe from terrorists?

Although I am a little afraid he may be sandwiched between a bunch of football playing horses and a talking space monkey.

[lurky]

12. That'd be great! But the money...

$2.7 Million for a 30 second ad during the Superbowl. That could buy a lot of yard signs.

[Egnever]

13. Fox is hosting the superbowl

And they have refused to let anyone buy political adds. Mostly cause the republicans couldnt afford one.

[krkaufman]

23. Ok, THAT was funny. Thanks. n/t

20. I read the comments here and found this comment striking...

In my 72 years, I have not been as excited about an election as I am now. As the patriarch of a large and complex family that includes biracial and lesbian members, we reflect some of the diversity of our nation. The last few decades have been troubling and demoralizing as our country has become more and more fragmented, fearful, angry, and cynical. We have lost our bearings. Our national soul has been corrupted. My generation bears some responsibility for this state of affairs and Barack offers us the opportunity for some measure of redemption.

I celebrate the enthusiasm that my grandchildren's generation has for this campaign. They have the potential to break from the past and create a better future. Barack can lead the way.
Let there be hope.

21. I plan to donate a little something asap.

And that's saying a lot for me, since I have NEVER donated to any politician before. I'm usually skeptical about such things, but Barack has gotten me fired up. This feels like a new era.
