Interesting fact. In 2004, the total number of donors for both parties was 2.5 million.

In 2004, there were a total of 2.5 million donors to the entire presidential field '” Republicans and Democrats. At the rate he's attracting small donors, Obama alone could surpass that number if his campaign marches on to November.
That article says Hillary had 225,000 recently and McCain had 150,000 recently. I am sure they have both gone up, but at the time Obama had 800,000-900,000 and he's gone up quite a bit since then. He is just dwarfing them.

The new governor of Louisiana is also a good one in the Republican party. He's young, charismatic, and cares about people (obviously, he has to because the state is still a mess from Katrina and Rita).

The Obama campaign has made it a week ahead of schedule! 
This has gotta be some kind of record.

Barack is less than 4,500 new donors away from having 1 million unique donors. Incredible.

Hillary lost a supporter because of her nasty attacks on Barack in Iowa and New Hampshire on abortion. And she pretended like those health care and NAFTA mailings were the only negative ones of the campaign. She's been flat-out lying about his health care, including with fear-mongering mailings in Wisconsin and Ohio. The abortion thing was probably the nastiest mailing sent out in this campaign. It's gender-baiting and it helps explain how she won New Hampshire. It tore the party apart in that state.

Oh, Barack just owned her ass on the credit card thing. The difference between him and her is that he makes people laugh when he attacks. She makes people cringe/boo.
#4147 Re: The Garden » Hillary keeps digging her own grave... » 969 weeks ago
Wow, Barack's learning curve in the debates has been amazing. As good of a debater as Hillary is, I think he has actually surpassed her. He's hanging toe to toe with her, and because of her whiney bitch attitude (very disrespectful towards Russert), he comes across far more Presidential than her.

That is nothing but hearsay. The NYT article was a blatant attempt of character assasintation. I won't flee to Canada if Obama wins, but Howard Stern said it best today. Obama has turned the election into American Idol. The man offers nothing of any substance and his record is identical to Clinton's while in the Senate. Hope and change is the same platform Democrats ran on in 2006 and nothing has changed. If the American Idol fans get Obama elected, it will be a quick 4 years and then the adults can lead the country.
Have you read his website? There's plenty of substance on there. In fact, as Barack often jokes in his stump speech regarding his "empty speeches," he has so much information on his website that you can fall asleep reading about it. As for the NYT article, what the hell does that have to do with the FEC thing? Absolutely nothing. This FEC violation is completely separate.

Yeah, it's a real sleazeball move of him to use his email list as fucking collateral to take out a loan because he's too stupid to efficiently run his campaign and was almost bankrupt. As an Obama donor, I would be pissed if Barack did this. I bet McCain's supporters don't give a shit though. The Republicans leading the party right now have serious issues when it comes to ethics, and McCain is apparently not an exception to that rule.

I think she should just drop out now and show a little integrity. While they are close at the moment, there's no way in hell she can win and Hillary and her advisers have to know that. Her poll numbers have went in the same direction everywhere for months- down. The country is not interested in a Hillary presidency.
If Obama wasn't in the race, she would probably have the presidency handed to her on a silver platter(due to the weak opposition on the republican side). But history has placed an obstacle in her path, and she cant get around it.
The polls show Barack up by around 10 on McCain and Hillary down by around 10 to McCain.
