Wow!

I guess I'll have to wait until the next challenge to donate.

[peoli]

7. STFU! WOW!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

9. Man, that just made me laugh.

:rofl:

[Meldread]

8. People are STILL donating. It just won't stop. It's insane.

He has almost made - in a single day - the amount of money Hillary raised in a SINGLE MONTH.

[City Lights]

13. Side note - I absolutely LOVE that picture!

:bounce:

Always brings a :D to my face. :hi:

[RoadRage]

10. I didn't even get my donation in yet.. maybe i'll wait 'till next week

to do it.

And, I wonder when the cash infusion will stop.. $6,000,000 in one day - I think that has to be a record.. and I think there are a lot of jealous candidates.

Hope = Cash!

[silverweb]

11. Awesome!

I'm happy to have contributed a tiny fraction of that amount along with millions of other supporters!

[abburdlen]

12. in other news...

On Wednesday, the Clinton campaign set a new goal of raising $3 million over the next three days through the Internet.

"We have had one of our best fundraising efforts ever on the Web today and our Super Tuesday victories will only help in bringing more support for her candidacy," said Clinton campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson.

14. Proof that fools and their money are soon parted.

:eyes:

[abburdlen]

15. the Mark Penn discussion

is in a different thread.

[VolcanoJen]

21. *** snort ***

Good show. :-)

[AndyA]

46. I guess you think you're being cute.

Further proof.

Not all of us are falling for Dr. Obama's Traveling Salvation Show, and for the record I am NOT a Hillary supporter. Another erroneous assumption from the "followers." :eyes:

[cali]

49. Heh. lucky for me

I didn't fall for Mr. Hedge Fund's baloney. I knew he was lying when he promised his devout followers that he'd stay in until the convention. And I NEVER believed his big talk. He has no walk to back it up.

[AtomicKitten]

16. Shazaaaaam!

[Coexist]

17. over 6.1 million now - he beat Ron Paul's recored -

Obama now holds the record!

[jab105]

18. Just donated another $100 myself...think we can reach $10 million by tomorrow?

I love when they show you an amount...gives you something to shoot for...

I TRUST Obama...I want a better country...I've been holding out (had only donated $50 previously to tonight)...but I'm beginning to HOPE that he can really do this...

I LOVE the internet!

[Cha]

25. Cool, jab..thanks!

My 50 bucks is the highest I've ever gone and I feel so elated! It's a High!

[abburdlen]

29. delete/ wrong reply

[Big Blue Marble]

26. It is almost 7 million now.

Ten million by tomorrow should be no problem.

[THUNDER HANDS]

19. $6,112,411 now

woot!

[akbacchus_BC]

32. Wow, am on board for either Senators (Hillary & Obama)

Question: Can Canadians donate to the democratic candidates? Both are awesome to me, they both want change for the US. I was backing Kuchinich (sp) then changed to Edwards, am so sorry he quit. You all got two awesome candidates running and either one will be milestones better than any Republican candidates. Got to donate to DU too.

[Recursion]

20. He beat Paul!

That makes me happy.

[never_get_over_it]

22. You know all this money

in this idiot race is starting to REALLY OFFEND ME -

at one point there were I think a total of 16 candidates on both sides - wonder what the total amt of money raised has been - and what might have been done with that - like oh I don't know - feed hungry people, house the homeless etc etc etc

THIS IS OBSCENE....

[jab105]

27. The real way to look at it is that this is the power of people - real people

investing in something that they really believe in...

I think it is a beautiful thing...it isn't corporations, it isn't big business, it isn't lobbiests...its real people, getting involved in democracy...getting excited about politics...getting excited about the country...I think it is an mazing, inspiring, wonderful thing...

And, Obama will know - the day he gets into office exactly who put him in there, and exactly who he is working for...again, a beautiful thing!

[Cha]

34. Exactly, instead of getting

all huffy about Millions of people participating in Democracy.

[never_get_over_it]

72. Huffy about millions of people participating in Democracy?

ooh yeah way to participate in Democracy click a few buttons on the internet give to a candidate to piss away on foolish Super Bowl commercials - or however all 16 of them pissed away money - too bad these millions of people didn't participate in Democracy by getting their sorry asses into the streets when GW Bush stole Florida in 2000 or Ohio in 2004

maybe they will when they steal it again this year - or maybe the M$M will tell them move along nothing to see here - nothing wrong


oooh and how about that power to the MILLIONS who DID get in the street to protest Iraq before it even happened - or how about the way a kazillion calls were placed to try to stop Alito from being confirmed - that did a whole ton of good - and man Barack and Hillary really helped us out on that one - yep I'm pretty sure Barack joined Joe Biden and maybe Hillary too I can't even remember now - in one round of voting no on cloture - GEEEEZ THANKS GUYS that sure was special - oh I know they were keeping their powder dry - Alito is still on the SC for oh I don't know probably at least 25 more years maybe more I think he is only about 55...and there are a ton of other examples too.

It is an illusion that we are participating in Democracy this place is run by the corporations with the help of the enabling politicians who personally benefit by it and of course their spokes people the M$M.

HUFFY about homeless people - hungry people - and pissed away money - man what was I thinking....

[never_get_over_it]

70. Sadly you missed my point completely

I was not just referring to St Barack freaking rock star second coming of Jesus H Christ Obama - but maybe you were blinded by the glare of his halo to actually read and comprehend what I was talking about.

that spending all this fucking money - by ALL the candidates BOTH SIDES - is in fact obscene when we have seniors who have to choose between medicine and food, when we have people living on the fucking street - when we have mother's who have to bundle their children in winter coats when they go to bed at night because they can't afford the heating bill - and on and on and on

wonder what some good homeless shelter or organization that advocate for the poor could have done with the money Barack Obama pissed away on the Super Bowl ad - or what did Mayor 9-11 spend to get 1 delegate or whatever the hell he ended up getting

the point is the way we run - spending all this money - and fund these campaigns IS OBSCENE - and in the end our candidates are still chosen by the M$M....go figure

[Whisp]

23. this is just unbelievable! The Other Superpower has awakened! nt

[loveangelc]

24. i helped.

[THUNDER HANDS]

28. closing in on $6.2 million now

he's up to $6.18

[abburdlen]

30. So the morning headlines will be

Obama raises six million in a day, Clinton loans her campaign $5 million.

I have a feeling Mark Penn is going to decide to spend more time with his family soon.

[Colobo]

33. Maybe he'll decide to spend more time going after unions?

[abburdlen]

35. or helping blackwater

or countrywide

So many needy causes out there....

[Coexist]

38. actually, she raised $3 mil - going for $6 mil in 3 days

http://www.taylormarsh.com/

Obama only needed 10 hours!

[abburdlen]

43. Will be entertaining

to see the spin that's put on the numbers tomorrow.

McCain no doubt is scared shitless over these numbers.

[Unsane]

31. GOBAMA

[tishaLA]

36. can he loan some to sen clinton?

[MS Liberal]

37. He should have enough money by now, why is he asking for more?

Do not give another dime to this campaign. This is just greed. If you must give him money, give it to your favorite charity in his name. It is sinful to ask for money when you do not need it.

[Colobo]

39. You're right. I'll just donate $25 more to his campaign because

your post has inspired me to do so. :)

[akbacchus_BC]

41. Just asking!

How come you all do not reply to me? Did I type something wrong? I honestly think that both Senators are throwing their heart and soul into this campaign as they want America to stop the trainwreck that has been going on over the past 7 years. The White House is not a timeshare but I would be pleased to have Senator Hilary Clinton back just so that the Repulicans can be kicked out. The world is looking on people! Please take America back. Peace!

[Barack_America]

42. Welcome to DU!

It's a tough time to start though. Hang in there, this place will get more civil.

[Unsane]

40. Wow, you just inspired me to give $50 more. Keep it up!

[loveangelc]

45. i'm giving more tomorrow...

[TheDonkey]

44. SWEET MOTHER!!! WHAAAAAA???

[Hope And Change]

47. Gobama 08!

[adabfree]

48. I gave on Tuesday and more yesterday

[Hope And Change]

50. Kick!

:kick:

[TexasObserver]

51. Democrats are voting with the dollars as they contribute

Obama is winning the hearts and minds of Democrats, and they are sending him their money because they believe he is the choice.

Clinton is running out of money because Democrats do not believe she will win. If they did, they'd be sending her money. She has tapped out all her major contributors, and unlike Obama, she does not have a half million contributors. She has a fraction of that number, and they are not excited about sending her more money.

The inability of Clinton to come anywhere close to Obama in both contributors and money being raised for the primaries now is a good indicator that she is falling back and he is moving ahead.

[adabfree]

52. I'm sending more this weekend..another $200

I'm not maxed out...neither are my family members and friends..we will be sending and sending and sending...

[workinclasszero]

53. Awesome!

See the power of many people united for a cause! Its called a movement and Obama is in front leading it!:woohoo:

GOBAMA!!!

[1776Forever]

54. Right behind you brother - I am fired up and ready to go! GObama!!! Go!!!!

:applause: :woohoo: :applause:

[bigtree]

55. you want folks to believe that there are no donations to the Clinton campaign.

Obama has done well, but Clinton's donations are on the rise after her WIN on Super Tuesday.

[Dawgs]

56. "after her WIN on Super Tuesday"

What exactly did she win?

Momentum?
Delegates?
States?
Popular vote?
Donations?

Anything?

[bigtree]

66. concerned?

In the all-important race for delegates to win the Democratic nomination, Hillary Rodham Clinton won 641 this week and Barack Obama won 633, CBS reported Wednesday morning.

No, wait: NBC declared that Obama won the lion's share of delegates in Super Tuesday balloting, 838 to Clinton's 834.

Obama was more optimistic: He gave himself 847 delegates to Clinton's 834.

By the end of the day, CNN put Clinton's overall total at 1,113 delegates to Obama's 963.

Meanwhile, the Associated Press count had Clinton at 1,045 and Obama at 960. AP, which USA TODAY uses as the official count, awarded Clinton 784 delegates in Tuesday's voting and Obama 764.
