CNN:
Sen. Barack Obama raised nearly $1 million in just over one day, his campaign announced Wednesday.
The Illinois Democrat sent an e-mail to supporters Tuesday asking for contributions to "close the gap" between him and Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-New York. Third quarter fundraising numbers showed Obama to be $2.1 million behind Clinton in primary funds.

One million dollars in one day? Wow. That means he's got what it takes to be a great President.
Kudos Obama. You have me and my household support; by the way, I am a black female.
Obama 08!
Obama has a black father and a white mother, so
does that make him a "black" man? Why not
a "white" man? Is one ethnicity superior to the
other?
Obama describes himself as "a black man".
Your question would be better directed at the candidate.
Well, it is the unwritten rule. If you have 1 part black, 4 part white you would still be considered black.
I have seen a blue eye blonde whose father is dark skinned black. This does not happen often but it does(her mom is white offcourse). I don't think they call her black because she does not have any semblace of being black.
I have seen another bi-racial who has dark skin but has freckles and green eyes, go figure.
Take for example, Derek Jeter of the yankees he can pass for a white or a Hispanic but infact he is black by the unwritten definition. I don't care what a person looks like on the outside be you beautiful, not soo beautiful, tall, short, fat,skinny, dark complected or light complected. I relate to people how they do to me.
So there Hillary!!
Barack just recieved an endorsment from Deval Patrick the Governer of Massachusetts.
A must see

I hope Obama can parlay this one day of superb fundraising into sustained success that will lead to the Democratic nomination.
I'm voting Democrat in November of '08, and I'd feel a lot better conscience-wise if it were Sen. Obama, rather than Sen. Clinton.

It's wonderful that enough people with money like him and want to contribute to his campaign. But if we had publicly funded elections, all this money could go to taking care of this country and it's citizens.
How much do you make being hateful OWNSTHEPODIUM? Good luck with that ulcer.
Don't have a hateful bone in my body. Hate and bloodlust is the realm of the neolib as demonstrated here every day.
No ulcer here, I'm quite a peace thank you.
I can't believe this man sent emails out to beg for cash so that he could keep up with Hillary. Is this about his message or his money?
Obama is an ego out of control, he wants to be a "big fish" without paying his dues. Just like his "need" for secret service protection, I knew he wanted that because Hillary had it, and he wants to feel important.
Obama is the poor mans George W, all hat no cattle.
What do you mean he is begging for cash? Bill Clinton did the same thing for Hillary. It is called asking for donations.
Obama would have not sent out this e-mail had Hillary not had a Washington lobbyist exclusive fundraiser.
He needs the people to put him ahead of the lobbyist funded candidate, thats all.
paying his dues? He has served longer in elected office than Hillary and Edwards.

You are as nuts as The KIller Chimp.
Do you feel important now?
VOTER:
BITE ME!!
This seems to be becoming HuffBama.c
now thats what I call a netroots movement. No Washington Lobbyist can control Barack Obama, like they do with Hillary.
Obama '08!
Hillary '08
Actually you might be right. Hillary who takes money from lobbyist and Ruport Murdoch has to be the best choice for America. How could I have been so blind.
Hillary/Murdoch in 2008!
Big Tabacco for Sect. of State!
Big Pharma for Attorny General!
Insurance lobbyist for Sect. of Health and Human Services
Edwards '08
keep on going Obama, in fact I think I will go make another donation;) So we can beat Killary...
Well that's quite a Token amount isn't it.
