Plouffe: McCain attacks 'helped our campaign,' moneywise

(Video: http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0808/Plouffe_McCain_attacks_helped_our_campaign_moneywise.html">David Plouffe Thanks Donors

In a video sent to donors, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe says the campaign received 100,000 contributions yesterday, a third of them from first-time donors.

"I think John McCain has harmed himself in the last week, really eroding any capital he had built up in terms of what kind of politician he is," Plouffe says. "But he's really helped our campaign, because so many of you have contributed in the last week. Our field offices had people pouring into them yesterday."

In the primary, Obama's most successful fundraising came during moments of conflict, and McCain's decision to go negative seems to be bearing the same cost.

4. come on, McLame, do more $ca-ching$ for Obama.

6. Now use the money to call him on his BS

7. As long as the money machine keeps responding to McCain

Barack won't and doesn't have to. I am convinced the counterstrike, when it comes (and it may not come directly from the campaign)will be devastating and brilliant.

I am among the many who sent money because I was so pissed, even though I had given as much as I had planned to last month. Sending Obama money is more satifying emotionally than ranting at this board, at least for me.

11. I gave until it hurt.

And I'll do it again. Barack has my confidence and McCodger is full-blown batshit crazy.

12. I can't wait to see how much Obama raised this month

Anyone know when we'll hear that?

13. I *LOVE* that McCain is Obama's Cash Register

Nothing gives me greater pleasure than knowing that McCain is tearing himself down while helping fundraise for Obama.

Heck, I even went to sleep last night with that happy thought in my head.

Before this mess, I was donating $100 a month. Now I am trying to figure out how to best maximize my donations. I may not be able to afford to give the $4600 in primary + general money, but I think I can get to $2300.
