1. the 20th will be a big news day for Obama!

I wonder what 'scandal' mccain will manufacture to try to knock this out of the news.

3. They don't want people to stop donating.

6. I realize that - but the media will be all Obama for a full day when that number comes out!

2. I think they're holding back this news...

So that they can steal the thunder back from Sarahcuda. Imagine if they release this info next Friday, and Obama raised 60 or 70 million dollars. That will dominate the news all weekend.

7. There are an awful lot of "Obama for America" lines on my

bank statement. Not big money, but frequent. Wasn't the media saying August was "anemic" for Obama a few days ago? Haven't they said that before? They may think they are hurting Obama with that shit, but it helps instead.
