Obama Winning Florida Money Race

Democrat Barack Obama outraised Republican John McCain by nearly $500,000 in Florida in June, validating his decision to rebuff limited public campaign financing for the general election.

Obama raised about $1.4 million in the state, while McCain collected about $900,000, according to monthly fundraising reports due Sunday.

''Fundraising is a continuing challenge for anyone in these economic times,'' said Fort Lauderdale attorney Scott Rothstein, one of McCain's top donors. ``Obama is rallying people with a message that is causing a lot of people who have never given before to raise money. It's an anomaly in politics, but I don't think it's going to have any effect on McCain's ultimate victory.''

A fresh wave of obamania is expected to sweep the nation on or about August 25th, 2008. The week of the convention we will remember why we wanted him in the primaries. I'm already really excited to see if he gets a bump in the polls upon his return to the states.

Yet ANOTHER "D'OH!!" for McCain.

Floridians need help after 8 years of George Bush as President and 8 years of Jeb Bush as

their Governor.

And McCain believes they will look to him for help? ROFL

My word, step into the 21st Century and VOTE FOR OBAMA!

I still think McCain will have one lucid moment on Election Day and also VOTE FOR OBAMA!
