One million, and counting
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Barack Obama's campaign said this morning that it has surpassed its goal of one million unique contributors to his presidential bid, an eye-popping number that goes a long way toward explaining his success thus far in the Democratic nomination race. As of 10:19 a.m., Obama claimed 1,001,711 donors to date.
His campaign writes on its website, "Nothing can slow down this movement ... We've made our voices heard loud and clear -- our time has come."
It is no doubt a movement, but it's a wee early to be planning victory laps. Yes, Obama has the ball and time is running out, but don't count Clinton out yet. Following last night's contentious debate in Cleveland, both candidates are politicking today in Ohio, which holds a crucial primary on Tuesday.
Money talks and news like this will bring the Superdelegates to Obama on March 5th if Hillary does not bow out after losing Texas. She transferred $10m from her senate campaign to her presidential campaign and made that $5m loan. Knock off that $15m and consider she was over $2m in debt at the end of January. The Billary Clintons never thought they would be outdone in the money column. But he has beaten her there, just as he has beaten her everywhere. Obama will win the nominee.
Ironicallly, had Barack lost the last 11 contests, lost the national lead, was experiencing a meltdown among core support (read: women and Hispanics), was trailing in Texas (after huge leads) and was on the slide in Ohio (again, after huge leads)...and looked as angry and shrill in the last debate as Hillary Clinton, I tend to doubt Mr. Helman would be suggesting that "it's a wee early to be planning victory laps."
Obama and the people = 1 million
Clinton and the lobbyists, special interest groups= 0
America is taking back our country...the PEOPLE are NOW THE SPECIAL INTEREST!!!
Obama 2008
I think Senator Barack Obama will win and whatever it is, there will be a lot of changes in the states with his presidency.
If Mc Cain and Hilary clinton are attacking him, it is just because they feel they're going to lose.
special interset that hillary is promising them are out of luck, the croc...d..le...tears ....didnt work this time, but i got to tell you she is really great lier,she could have promising career as actrese in any scene that require crying.finally america will not turn into kingdom shared between the bushs and clintons.
go,,go ..go ...go obama :)
