Obama Received 100,000 Separate Donations Alone Yesterday
Barack Obama received over 100,000 donations YESTERDAY alone. 200,000 donations since McCain went negative. Not 100,000 dollars, 100,000 donors. If you factor in that in June, the average donation was $68... that's $13.6 million in the last week since John McCain decided to run his campaign of the road.

David Plouffe Thanks Donors on Youtube

Edited on Fri Aug-01-08 05:59 PM by CatBO
Yesterday alone, 33,0000+ people sat down to their computer and decided they would give money to Obama who had never decided to do this before. Thanks Mc$hame for helping our fundraising!

4. That's a big "if"
Do you, or do you not, trust Obama and his campaign?

I do. At least, I trust them to know a lot more about what's going on than you, I, and just about everyone else on this forum combined.

It's 95 freaking days until the election and McCain is vomiting a new ad each day that is more idiotic than the last. Obama's people aren't freaking over it because they know the old perv is blowing his wad and looking like a freakshow, a liar and well, yes an old pervert.

I trust Obama and his campaign and I see McCain's ads as a giant cash register for Obama. If you choose to believe every Gallup or Rasmussen tracking poll and ignore that this is an electoral system, and you don't trust Obama, then I can imagine you're going to have a rough 3 months ahead.

7. Some people here watch way too much TV news
And get caught up with the moment of what the pundits say from one
minute to the next and then become 'concerned' thinking that everone in
America has their viewing habits.

I like that people do report what is going on because I've had to turn it off for months
seeing that you get drawn into its absurdity sometimes.
I do watch Keith and maybe Dan Abrams sometimes but that's about it.

MONEY TALKS and Donors Rock........ the election.
Go Obama

8. I gave up watching a couple of years ago.
It was not good for my blood pressure. :)

I'm looking for a 60-65 million dollar month if this keeps up.
