Obama Raises $20 Million In 3Q

Ya right! You are the racist one since you were able to come up with it. The so called racist people are very few.

We all have our biases and preferences but the kind of racism you allude to is dead to many.

Don't be surprised if he is elected President. It is because America is not as backwards as you think.

Fuji,

She beat Obam by accepting money from lobbyists, right? How many new donors did she receive, that is the question!

The media has been intoning that Hillary has beaten Obama for the past 2 quarters as they added her money (on hand) to make her overall figures higher. The facts are that this is the 1st quarter that Hillary actually outraised Obama, however it can hardly be considered great news when the media has fudged the facts to create the appearance she was doing better than she [was].

Right On, talak...It was Mike Gravel who actually pointed it out during the debate, but NO ON PICKED UP ON IT...THE MSM GAVE OBAMA A PASS...AGAIN.

Where I used to think Obama was just inexperienced and a political opportunist, I now think he is a VERY EXPERIENCED POLITICAL OPPORTUNIST...AND a COWARD and a HYPOCRITE... MOST DEFINITELY NOT A TRUSTWORTHY LEADER.

Notice how he's refusing to participate in any more ad hoc debates?...One might have thought that it was because it took too much time away from his Senate duties -- Obviously, THAT'S NOT the case...More likely it's because he can't be in control during a multi-candidate forum and spew his empty rhetoric unfettered...

He reminds me of one of those slick preachers ...all flash and rhetoric, and all the while with his hand out to the mesmerized masses, who succumb, glassy-eyed and dazzled by the show.

Every day, this whole thing makes me more frustrated and pissed off, and I now think of OBAMA as the most dangerous candidate...the one that we simply MUST NOT LET BE NOMINATED.

BIDEN/Richardson >>> All OF THE ABOVE.

Obama has reached a surge in getting funds from thousands of people because of his exposure and support of Ophra Winfrey. I think this will be a one time surge and I do not belive it will continue. I like Obama but I do not think he has the experience nor the polish to be President yet. It is not his time. Wait until after the next President serves his two terms in office and Obama will have reached his time in history. I predict he will be our first black President but his time has not yet come.

Oh STFU

Yawn.

Presidential candidates tend to spend a lot of time on the road campaigning.

Welcome to reality.

God Bless common sense! After reading some of the recent comments here, I am elated by the fact that more well informed folks have started commenting as well!

I have always maintained that Barack Hussein is all theatre and fluff! Finally I see a lot more realizing this and speaking out!

Grumpy:
It is because she is trying to appear that she made so much$$$$ that it is taking her longer to count it.
She is just playing games. The thing she is good at doing. The bottom line, how much did she make for the primary, and how much is for the general election? And how much $$$ comes from her own money and how much comes from her lobbyists friends?

Obama for sale..

Obama for sale..

get it while it's cheap..

Kakie, what you say about Obama may be true...I find him more and more ingenuous every day.

But as for your endorsement of John Edwards, I offer you this to consider:

John Edwards is not unlike Jimmy Carter was 30 years ago...We were coming off of the carnage that were the Nixon years, and the country flocked in droves to what was then the antithesis of the crude Nixon, the soft-spoken Southern gentleman, Jimmy Carter... Problem was, Carter was illequiped to BE the President, and consequently his ONE TERM was a DISASTER, culminated by the first direct Islamic attack against Americans: the Iran Hostage Crisis...followed by 12 years of Republican administrations.

Add to that the unfortunate fact that it is likely that John may be faced with some major and fully understandable distractions relative to Elizabeth's health...It's just not a good idea for him or the country right now...sorry.

We need someone TOUGH but COMPASSIONATE, and someone EXPERIENCED AND KNOWN both within our government (in order to get things done expeditiously), AND around the world (to be taken seriously.)

That candidate is JOE BIDEN.

Having presidential qualities is NOT the same as having the qualifications to BE the President.

JOE BIDEN IS THE WHOLE PACKAGE.

Check him out and see for yourself:

edwards is going home!!!unless barack has him as a running mate.

On point #3, that's nice but this is not the 2004 race. You might as well point out how much more money this is than what Al Gore had in the 2000 race. Edwards supporters reaching back to comparisons with money in past races is truly desperate and sad. Cling to whatever hope you need, but this is the 2008 race. Obama and Hillary are blowing everyone else out of the water and will continue to do so. That Edwards suddenly decided to take public money is further evidence of his desperation, not an act of principle. If it were a principled stand Edwards would have taken public money from the very beginning and made a huge point of this contrast with Hillary and Obama. It's meaningful to unilaterally disarm if you are the guy in the #1 position. It's meaningless to disarm when you have no weapons.

Also Dean was a head in the polls for a long time and he went down in flames. I suppose that will happen to HC because the pundits have started to pick her a part and expose her flaws now.

About your facts.

10 and 20 dollar donations DO translate into votes. That is the point. This is the first time so much has been raised by so many.

As you must know, when purchasing a campaign button, t-shirt or key chain from the campaign organization, it must be declared as a political donation. This prevents abuses like selling goods people need or want and funneling the cash into the campaign.

As for Edwards. He has made some honest statements during his campaign. I hope he can cut down on the populism, however.

Neither does Bull Shet Phoneys and Scam Artists.

Obama 2008

No Paul you are wrong.
Obama is a head of Hillary in Iowa with Caucus goers and that is what matters.
