The Obama campaign said tonight it broke its single-day fundraising record, raising more than $10 million in the 24 hours since Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin gave her speech.
"I hope she gives a speech every single day," said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton.

"Sarah Palin's attacks have rallied our supporters in ways we never expected," he said. "And we fully expect John McCain's attacks tonight to help us make our grassroots organization even stronger."

One thing is for sure, Obama has a way with raising money on a scale that I've never even heard of. Couldn't all this money be used for other things like, fixing Social Security? People complain about being taxed an extra half percent on whatever, but don't mind donating 5, 10, 15, 200, 2000 bucks at a time?

Not that I'm complaining, I hope Obama can keep this steam for 2 more months!

As a matter of fact, I think I'll donate 100 dollars right now, before work.

Campaign fundraising disclosure is required by law. You'll be able to request the data from the FEC sometime in October if you want.

Senator Obama's campaign has made many public reports of their fund raising and all of the previous ones have been correct. Sidney's campaign is the one with FEC fund raising issues.

Oh, sorry, this must be a socialist thread.

I have posted accordingly when I agreed with you popeye but don't understand the continued use here and by many about the 'socialism' that has never existed in this country at least as it is strictly defined...'the govt. ownership of the means of production.'

For the govt. to send out checks to people and businesses is certainly not socialism unless of course one stretches the meaning to create the idea that the govt. becomes a partner in that business and one we would otherwise see fail without it. If we accept those checks from govt. as a form of socialism, then a majority of the population would have to proudly wear that mantel and not including most of Soc. Sec.

If one applies this reasoning, then it becomes most interesting when the most expensive form of this kind of socialism per capita...would be farmers.

The big 3 auto cos. for example are already in line next fiscal year...to get a US Fed. govt. loan guarantee of some $25 billion and have asked and already received positive feedback...they will get another $25 billion to tack onto that. Shall we call that socialism ? This is $50 billion in loans guaranteed by the taxpayer and clearly a decision...the so-called free marketplace didn't make.

The great and glorious 'free market' (sic) that wants the profits but doesn't want the risk, rides again...on the taxpayer's white...er green horse. No, this is NOT a socialist thread.

Yeah, after the fact, and afer he tried to kill the momentum. I'll believe it when I see it.

Speaking of desperation, your repeated use of Hussein drips with it.

Not one of you who take umbridge with my use of Hussein's middle name, have come up with a valid reason on why I shouldn't use his lawful middle name.

And for the last time, McCain is not my guy, he's too liberal for me, and since I don't have a horse in the race, it could hardly be desperation for me, now could it?

And IMO it's sounds, gasp! it is his middle name. Do you always take time out of your day to post about things you think are silly?

I have to admit, it does seem very childish.
