Obama '08?

Who did they poll? Norway?

In the month of June, supporters like you helped raise $52 million. And together with the DNC, we now have nearly $72 million in the bank.

52 million in June!

I was a bit worried about this -- how donors would react to the decision to forgo public financing, and the end of the fever-pitch primary season. The WSJ (I think it was) estimated a pretty low June haul for Obama (20 something, I think). The campaign scoffed at the number, but I wasn't expecting 52 million.

Wow.

From the email I just got from Plouffe:

But more impressive than the number is how you did it. Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people contributed to building our campaign for change. Many were first-time donors, giving only what they could afford -- and the average donation was just $68.

Stunning fundraising month for Obama; and a big f*ck-you to all the Conservatives and political pundits who were speculating that he was off his previous fund raising highs.

I understand perfectly. By me having facts, I can draw a conclusion and my conclusion is I do not like public financed candidates who do not put their "OWN" assets at stake. Now by public financed, I mean the way Obama, McCain and every other politician goes out and bribes the PUBLIC for money without putting up their own assets.

When someone stands before me and says I am putting up millions of my own assets, that tells me they actually believe in what they are saying.

Obama has nothing at risk except your money. Therefore he will say and or do anything you want him to say or do so you will give him more of your money.

Just becuase you put up your own money, does not mean I AGREE with your position.

You really are a jerk. I find nothing about your comment funny. Get back with the rest of the herd of sheep.

I get very concerned by these numbers from both candidates.

How much personal assets has each candidate dedicated to the quest? None.

STFU loser.

There should be an A2K exclusion for those drinking Berzerkeley water.

All the media is about Obama, and McCain is nothing more than a shadow in the background right now, and every time he apologizes again for something that might offend Obama, he is clueless, so what do you expect to see in the polls? If we had a good candidate, ci, it would be a contest, but it will still be a contest by the time November rolls around. I can't wait for a debate.
