I’m back, tanned, not-quite-rested, and ready. Of course, if I were still in Phoenix instead of cool-and-just-now-drying-out Milwaukee, this wouldn’t be an afternoon version.

There’s too much goodness for a one-parter today,……

It would be interesting to compare the numbers this year with previous years.

It would be even more interesting to see how state races are going.

Remember, redistricting starts in 2 years.

… but at the end of the day, what matters is how much money he can spend on advertising in the month of October. And how much McCain can spend to counter both Obama’s ads and the various blatant misrepresentations the MSM will be blathering on about all month.

Last thought: since all these stories are based on the Obama campaign’s say-so, and not on any actual facts, could it be that they’re intended to panic Democrats into sending the DNC lots and lots of money?

Is there a way to rhetorically illustrate the comedic “Rim Shot”?
If there is, this snark certainly deserves it.

Thanks, but can’t think of one. Of course, I’m about as computer-savvy as McCain, I guess.

The problem with community organizers is that they usually want to do rabble-rousing to get taxpayer funds. When they start spending their own money with the same abandon, then they get into trouble. Michelle will be buying iceberg lettuce at the A&P soon, if they’re not careful. Or maybe Barry can write another memoir.

His campaign is SO wasteful and focusless.

I don’t want to get irrationally happy and then feel depressed on Nov. 5th. It’s better to just expect the worst. Then, if something nice happens, it’s a bonus.

No complaining if you aren’t working hard up until November 4th. I am. Time AND $$s.

Nobody donates cents. It is always in whole dollars. The cents means that it is coming from a non-USD amount which means a high chance the donor is NOT a U.S. citizen.

Obama is toast if this is substantiated. This should be investigated by RNC people ASAP to thereby keep Obama on the defensive.

Yet this qualifies him to lead a nation that is 1000% times the size of his failing campaign. Scary.

Where did the other $35M in July come from?

I don’t know how this stuff is reported, but I would think that all of the small time individual donations that Obama constantly tells us about would be reported with a zip code. If that is the case, where did the other $35M come from?

Hmmm…..

Obama’s monthly spend by category for August

McCain’s monthly spend by category for August

Some August highlights:
Media: Obama $32.3M, McCain $13.7M
Payroll: Obama $2.2M, McCain $0.9M
Postage: Obama $1.6M, McCain $3.1M
Travel: Obama $5.8M, McCain $1.5M

Check out the site for more details. If dig financial info, you will like the site.

Obama’s August: $66 million; Update: Only $11 million gain in cash on hand?

I wonder how much of OBummer’s endless money supply came from hate America Arabs, like Hamas, Hezbollah, Saudis, Libyans, jihad’s, etc. Why would Arabs send money to a person that claims to be a Christian?

I’m still unconvinced that Barack Hussein Obama is not a closet Muslim!

http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/08/obamas_donor_contributions_sil.html

Obama’s overseas (foreign) contributors are making multiple small donations, ostensibly in their own names, over a period of a few days, some under maximum donation allowances, but others are aggregating in excess of the maximums when all added up. The countries and major cities from which contributions have been received France, Virgin Islands, Planegg, Vienna, Hague, Madrid, London, AE, IR, Geneva,Tokyo, Bangkok, Turin, Paris, Munich, Madrid, Roma, Zurich, Netherlands, Moscow, Ireland, Milan, Singapore, Bejing, Switzerland, Toronto, Vancouver, La Creche, Pak Chong, Dublin, Panama, Krabi, Berlin, Geneva, Buenos Aires, Prague, Nagoya, Budapest, Barcelona, Sweden, Taipei, Hong Kong, Rio de Janeiro, Sydney, Zurich, Ragusa, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Uganda, Mumbia, Nagoya, Tunis, Zacatecas, St, Croix, Mississauga, Laval, Nadi, Behchoko, Ragusa, DUBIA, Lima, Copenhagen, Quaama, Jeddah, Kabul, Cairo, Nassau(not the county on Long Island,lol), Luxembourg (Auchi’s stomping grounds), etc,etc,etc,

Biden is going to be Charlotte, NC…to raise money in a state that is apparently out of reach…when he should be in Pennsylvania or Michigan. Heh.

SouthernGent on September 14, 2008 at 12:43 PM

They’re sending him on a tour of all the states they can’t win. Biden does less harm to Obama this way.

His political campaign pays “volunteers”/goons to infiltrate McCain-Palin rallies and intimidate attendees with aggressive, in-your-face tactics. There were plenty of witnesses to this strategy in one of the first post-Palin- announcement rallies in Washington, PA.

Obama cannot effectively manage a budget, approves of and seeks exhoribitant earmarks, and cannot legislate. Ready to lead?

I think that he should be exited from the Senate.

If you look at the statistics on what charities spend to obtain their donations, many of them have a very high expense to donation ratio. Remember the flack after 9/11 when the charities began to be scrutinized for the dollars they were taking from donations to cover “administrative” expenses.

“Probably” is the wrong choice of words here.

The possibility that McCain/Palin will win in November is looking a lot better.

The probability that McCain/Palin will win in November is a nebulous number right now.

Here is one place to watch from now on to aid in sorting out the numbers:
