Obama outraises Clinton in small town PA!!!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/04/15/obama-outraises-clinton-a_n_96806.html

Sen. Barack Obama's political opponents charge that his recent remarks on the economic woes and bitterness of low-income voters put him gravely out of touch with small town Pennsylvanians.

But a review of campaign finance records -- conducted for The Huffington Post by the Spotfire Division of software firm TIBCO -- reveals that it is Obama, not Sen. Hillary Clinton, who has received the majority of donations from these very same Keystone State communities.

Indeed, through the end of February 2008, Obama received nearly $250,000 in contributions from Pennsylvanians residing in zip codes with populations under 30,000 people. That total, which does not include Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and both city's suburbs, was roughly $30,000 more than the amount raised by Clinton: $220,000.

When the population size is made even smaller, Obama continues to best his Democratic rival. Among those non-urban Pennsylvania zip codes with populations under 20,000, the Illinois Democrat has brought in just over $200,000. Clinton has raised slightly more than $170,000.

(Obama's advantage may in fact be even stronger than these numbers show, since campaigns do not provide information on donors who gave under $200, a subset where Obama has excelled. See the complete data here.)

6. Let's see........
Edited on Wed Apr-16-08 08:31 AM by Double T
BO tells supporters that he is against NAFTA while he turns his head and winks across the northern border and proclaims to the Canadians it was ONLY using political rhetoric with his supporters; Yep, qualifies for fraud. Then BO says he was NEVER present while wright was delivering one of his derogatory hate speeches; few days later BO is claiming the exact opposite; Yep again, qualifies for fraud. More recently BO demeans small town voters by slapping a tag of bitter gun toting religious fanatics on them and when caught attempting to spin an entirely different story; Again qualifies for fraud. Just a few examples of your candidates fraud. How could ANYONE vote for an individual with this kind of fraudulent character?

4. You are right, the majority of the people in the Democratic Party will Nominate.
And the majority of the voters in America will elect Obama President.

17. Sign o' the times.
In order to catch up in a Clinton stronghold, Obama has had to outraise her in recent weeks.
