Holy cash cow, Barack!

[Psycho4Bud]

WASHINGTON - Barack Obama waded deep into the Democratic base to raise a record-breaking $32.5 million in the second quarter, his campaign said yesterday - besting Hillary Clinton by $10 million in crucial cash earmarked for the primaries.

"We have built the largest grass-roots campaign in history for this stage of a presidential race," said Obama, who topped Clinton overall by $5 million.

Team Clinton, which tried to cushion the expected blow from Obama by letting it be known days ago that the New York senator would fall short, said it expected to raise $27 million to $28 million.

Clinton raised only $21 million in money designated for the primaries, compared with a $31 million windfall for Obama.

In the first quarter, Clinton raised $26 million, edging out Obama's $25.7 million.

More than 154,000 contributors kicked in to the Illinois senator's coffers from April to June. More than $31 million will be used for the primaries alone, the Obama camp said.

Hollywood LOVES Obama.



Sooooo.... is this the moral of our story? Hollywood could "love" him as a lesser of evils, nobody really knows. Obama isn't discredited for having a liberal support base, that's like linking Bush to christian-fundy nutcases because Ann Coulter voted for him:wtf: . If you're a hardcore communist lefty, a Michael Moore, or just a moderate liberal with some common sense, it basically comes down to Obama or Hillary, whoever will give you closest repesentation mirroring your views.... and between those two I think that's an easy choice even for you P4B:p

I am proud to say I contributed the large sum of $5 to Mr. Obama's campaign. It wasn't much, but I haven't won the WSOP yet--he can expect a bigger contribution when I do. I think he has done a great job with the fundraising, expecially since it is not all being done with $50,000 a plate dinners or through lobbyists.
