Obama is kicking major fundrasing ass

[Bill]

The Clintons just gave 5 million of their own money to their campaign.

In response, Obama's camp asked for matching donations - and got over 5.8 million in 24 hours.

Supposedly, Clinton supporters are tapped out and they are losing ground, while Obama keeps attracting new donors.

so it's a donations war...

Obama mania is an amazing thing but Ron Paul was able to generate huge amounts of cash in short periods of time.

What does amaze me about Obama is that I know people that have mindlessly voted republican for generations that claim they would vote for Obama. Mainly because he doesn't have so much experience that he would be a slave to the lobbyists like every other candidate.

And he seems to be self assured enough that he doesn't cave to peer pressure either.

I think having Bill campaign for her didn't help Hillary much.

I suspect, come Nov, many of the same people will be voting along party lines, or they'll just stay home, feeling the Dem victory is inevitable with, or without, them. The one big thing that could tip the scales from McCain would be Iraq. If he's still talking "100 years" war, that alone could drive Repub moderates to stay home.
