1. Carville: "That's not a Donor Base, its a Political Party!"

(I'm not a big Carville fan but even HE noticed that Obama's donor base is HUGE).

It's the Obama Party!

Maybe he should dump the Dems and run on / in his own Progressive Party - Obama.

6. Dang ...

... stay-at-home dad (of 3) ... haven't worked for over 3 years ... but just threw Obama what little I could. We'll shave a few more corners, but believe me ... for the sake of my children's future ... it's well worth it.

If I can do it ... y'all can too , right ?
