I just wonder why HRC supporters think that if she doen't win it was a stolen election? I am an Obama supporter and voted just like you did. Is my vote no good? Does yours count more? Many like you and me voted, how is it being solen? Change the DNC rules before you talk about stealing. It was won fair and square according to the rules of the DNC. So because your candidate didn't win you would rather have 4 more years of the same crap we have been living with and be more in debt and more starved as a country than ever before? If you all write her name in she still won't win. You will just succeed in Mccain winning and it will be worse.
If you like it then i love it.
I just want to know why you feel your votes should count more than the rest of ours.

Hey John Roberts,
You're about as biased as they come…I wouldn't expect any less than this from you! Don't you have an "illegal immigrant being treated unfairly by the evil European-American land-grabbers" story to investigate somewhere?

To all of you Democrats if Edwards and Hillary were in the race and she was loosing would you still vote for McCain or would you vote for Edwards. Stop being fooled by Hilary. He actually has more legislative experience than her. Have you even tried to listen to him to see what his policies and beliefs are. Because he and Hilary are not that far away from each other on policy. So for you to go and vote for someone that is completely against everything you believe is just foolish too me. So you need to ask yourself why won't I really vote for this guy. He has more experience legislatively than Hilary and he has proven to be a better candidate than her. And he appears to be honest unlike her. So ask yourself why are you really voting against eveything you believe in. Because you can't hide from yourself everywhere you go there you are. So you can keep telling the public it's because of his experience but be honest with your self.

SHARON FROM MINNESOTA GO JUMP IN A FROZEN LAKE THAT MUST BE WHERE YOUR BRAIN IS TO EVEN SAY SOMETHING AS DUMB AS THAT. (YES OBAMA CAN)!!!!!!

More misinformation follows.

"No more Rigged Elections in America May 27th, 2008 2:11 pm ET

McCain's fundraising won't be a problem CNN. Remember, Obama outspent Hillary 2-1, 3-1, 4-1 in swing states and still lost.

Money can't buy votes Obama, especially when we don't believe you have the experience or backbone to lead this country.

Obama=Carter

Plus, he won't debate and won't go on FOX for an interview. What a coward.

Hillary 08, take it to the convention"

This is one of the problems of this election. People running their mouths without checking out the facts. Senator Obama did appear on Chris Wallace's show on FOX. He won't debate? There have been 19 or so debates and he won't debate? If you can't do any better than this, please don't vote because you are incapable odf rational thought.

Someone tell John "Body Bags" McCain that being a POW doesn't make one a War Hero. It means that you were shot down. being awarded the Purple Heart doesn't make you a hero, it means that you were wounded due to enemy actions. Many people are awarded the Purple Heart for very minor injuries. Col. Oliver North got a Purple Heart for injuries he received when a grenade he had thrown hit a tree and bounced back a sprayed him with a tiny fragment. Your real Heroes are the men and women that didn't come back.

I AM SO SICK OF THE BULL ABOUT THE LIBERAIL MEDIA ALL MEDIA IN THIS COUNTRY IS RIGHT WING TED TURNER DOES NOT CONTROL CNN. RIGHT WING PEOPLE DO ABC, CBS ,NBC,ARE ALL RIGHT WING .THEY ALL WANT A REPUBLICAN GOV'T MCCAIN GET 60% OF THE COVERAGE HILLARY GETS 30% AND OBAMA GETS10% SO STOP THE LIES BECAUSE YOU'RE FULL OF B.S. (YES OBAMA CAN)!!!!!!

"(Barack Obama) Understands how to spend public monies after blowing 484 million dollars on his nomination campaign."

Who won?

Go away McBush. Every sensible person is sick of Bush's failed policies. You're just an insensitive old man who will continue those failed policies. You don't know anything about how the people are suffering. C'mon Dems, win this election for the good of everyone.

Democrats '08

Bias? Yes.

good, no one should give a dime, to destroy this country we can not have four years of John Mccain… OH MY GOD !!!!! just think of what would happen to this country > It's just like having four more years of GEORGE BUSH. OH HELL TO THE NO !!!!!!! come people wake up (YES OBAMA CAN)!!!!!!

You Go … If not Hillary your the next best thing…

NEVER OBAMA

Observer,
Give me one accomplishment that qualified Bush, Nixon ,etc… to be President and I will be happy to disqualify Obama

Are we really ready to trade one religious administration for another? One that is a thousand times worse?

George W. Bush's administration was driven by right wing "Christians" who tried to rule by their interpretations of Christian belief. Now we have Barack Obama's left winged, black liberation theology fanaticism to replace it??? I hope not.

It's time to bring back a moderate government with John McCain in 08.

To everyone saying that if Obama wins the nomination, they're gonna start donating money to John McCain and vote for him, well, feel free. I'm male, so it wouldn't personally affect me if McCain won and put in Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe vs. Wade.

Is your little feud with Barack Obama for upsetting the inevitable candidate's run so deep that you'd do that to yourself and your daughters?

Where was your mock outrage about Michigan and Florida when the decision to unseat their delegates were first made and Hillary said this: "It's clear this election [Michigan is] having is not going to count for anything. I personally did not think it made any difference whether or not my name was on the ballot."

The whole attitude smacks of an immature schoolyard mentality. "Oh yeah? Well I'm taking my ball and going home!"

But hey, I don't face the prospect of an illegal back-alley abortion, so maybe it's not up to me.

When hell freezes over.

No doubt he will complain about Obama "trying to buy the presidency". Unfortunately for him, it is US buying back the presidency by funding our candidate!

LOL…talk about a lot of Clinton supporters who scare me on here!!

Why would Clinton supporters NOT vote for Obama because the Media or another Obama supporter said something they didn't like? Are you that EMOTIONAL or WEAK-MINDED to not comprehend that the Media or Obama supporters do not speak on behalf of the Obama campaign? That would be like me NOT voting for Clinton because of what YOU said. I am strong in my desire to see my country get the best…I don't worry about being right. Get this…while I am an Obama supporter, IF Clinton won the nomination…she would have my support because she is closest to what I believe we need for the future of this great country. What do you believe in? Being right…or would you make sure our children, troops, and economy move in the right direction? Don't be weak…continue to support the DNC movement no matter who the nominee is.

To add…when I hear comments from Clinton supporters who refuse to back Obama I have to ask, "Will you not support him because of the media, or is it really because you don't like him because he is a man or because he is black?" Otherwise, what other real, sincere and genuine reason would you vote AGAINST your own issues (Economy, Pro-Choice, Ending the war, etc)?

Chitter-chatter on, ObamaMessiah lovers. ObamaMessiah cannot be a successful president, as over 1/2 this country already despises him and will not change their minds. in fact, after he is elected, many of you messiah lovers will also rue your choice.

You can combine Billarry conributions and Bushcain's and you still won't be anywhere near Obama's 21st century fundraising pace thru to November. In fact he'll still have a surplus after Nov.

Support John McCain a moderate and sensible Republican in 2008. The democrats have lost their way, are bitter and divisive and will not serve America well.

It's a matter of history and timing before we see what the Iraqi war has meant to the US. Our modern society has a bad habit of judging everything by emotion and instant gratification. This is not the way our predecessors thought or made decisions. If it were, we would probably be under a totalitarian government ruled by neo-nazi's or communism. Previous wars defending democracy have brought us to this point in history. Let's try to be adults and use reasoning instead of emotion to gratify our every feeling.

Historians will judge George W. Bush and his role in maintaining democracy around the world in their own time.

John McCain is a man of the hour who has the right plan for Iraq and the mideast. Moderation and sensibility are his most important attributes, unlike the fanatical and emotional opponents he is facing in the democratic party. Think before you speak or posts comments that are purely emotionally driven.

Be sane and vote McCain.

Yeah…and the only time his speeches come alive is when the
anti-war hecklers are interrupting him!

Well it's gonna be hard to raise money especially when you ask for money from those you don't want to have money.

Approve Obama's GI Bill and you might get the vets to start donating.

He cannot raise any money on his own because he is the replica of Bush and Americans are tired of a government who has lost its mind.

Democrats 08

McCain is not getting the donations towards his campaign because he is SO FAR LEFT on TOO MANY ISSUES. What we have in this election year is 2 socialism Democrats and 1 Rep turn coat Democrat. My opinion, but McCain is all for amnesty, is all for the faulty Gore Global Warming where our Politicians intend to go the carbon tax route (yeah that should solve some problems — NOT — only enrich "some" peoples pocketbooks). McCain wants to increase the HB Visas when this Country has MORE THAN ENOUGH. McCain is no different than the other candidates who will take this country toward the spiraling downward trend of SOCIALISM. And McCain wonders why he can't get more donations!!!!

Sad, sad, sad state this Country is in when we only have these 3 major candidates. I am really beginning to fear for my Country as I see the once sought "American Dream" coming to an end.

My biggest fear is McCain will gravitate towards war. It is his comfort zone. When things startegetting tough, he will talk war. If CNN gives me an opportunity (by allowing this comment to be displayed), I like to ask if how many of you think that the war in Vietanam was wo. It is very likely that the answer is none. If so – how could, a hero of Vietanam war, think that a war in Iraq be won when it is against the people of Iraq. Does winning such a war, not require talking and educating people? My another fear is that McCain will fuel the histeria in middle east and convert an entire generation to be strong anti-American. An investment of 12 billion a month can bring better results if spent to pursue the peace in the region or prosperity at home. The notion of "victorious in war" by millitary means is a non-starter. I am appalled that McCain thinks, he knows the region well. He is hurting the pride of people of Iraq with such words and giving them reasons to become anti-American. Look at Isarael, have they really won the decade old war yet?

Thank you to all the "Obama Rebublicans" that are not listening to Rush Limbaugh's "operation chaos" to help your fellow country men and women. That takes guts to stand up to your party and you are well appreciated.

IF YOU LIKE THE WAR, ECONOMY GOING SOUTH BECAUSE OF THE WAR, $4.00 GAS……….. VOTE FOR MCSAME.

OBAMA 08

All Hillary supporters who want to vote Mccain if Obama is the nominee, you deserve to rot…….

Obama is still registering voters that will tally in the millions, most of whom will donate as will the rest of us (1.5 million+ !!) who have already donated. He has done more to enliven the political process for ordinary people than any politician in history (meaning he has done more to foster democracy) and as a result, he'll raise more money than any politician in history. Once the nominating process is complete, the bump-up Obama will get in both polls and money will be incredible. This wave is still growing into a tidal wave, people, an Obama-Tsunami that will wash Washington nearly clean of the GOP.

Will the HRC supporters still swear to vote McCain once HRC begs them to vote Obama? Really? Oh well, then they'll be canceled out by Republicans that will vote for Barr, the GOP Nader.

i see a democratic party crumble..
let me look into my crystal ball…hmmm, i see a marshall law. i do not see an election, hmmm, the president of the united stated will continue to be George W. Bush.

Charlotte, you are so very wrong. Three of the current judges on the Supreme Court are in their 70's or 80's. Two of those 3 are the reason that Roe vs. Wade has not been overturned. McCain vows to appoint judges in the like of Roberts and Alito. He votes against womens rights on every issue that comes before the Senate. The reason Roe vs. Wade has not been overturned before now is because the balance has always been on the side that will keep it from happening. That will change. Yes, judges have to be approved by the Senate, but there are certain rules involved, and if a President appoints conservative judges, they will be approved unless something comes up in their past to prevent it. All women need to understand that this is not just hyperbole to try to persuade women to vote for Obama that are currently saying they won't if Hillary loses, this is for real. I am a Republican woman that will vote for Obama, and so will my 78 year old mother-in-law, for this very reason. Both of us would have voted for Hillary if she won. It is not a matter of WHO wins the nomination, it is a matter of protecting women's rights.

Newflash – Hillary wont quit no matter how many delegate Obama gets. 2026, 2118, 2210!!

She will be campaigning at the convention.

To "Obama is the One":

There is one simple reason I will NOT be voting for Obama in November. I don't want a president that is just going to bend over and let every world leader or terrorist organization take whatever they want from the U.S. I guarantee you that is what will happen in an Obama presidency.

It amazes me how quickly people forget the recent past. Obama's supporters are using the same terminology to describe their candidate as those that were used by G.W. Bush eight years ago…"I'm a uniter, not a divider." Doesn't that sound familiar?

Electing a foreign policy neophyte eight years ago is exactly why the U.S. is in the mess it is in, and you people want to do the same thing, all for the sake of "change". Good luck with that, but don't be surprised when you hear a chorus of "I told you so" if Obama is lucky enough to be elected.

Obama's accomplishments:
1. President of Harvard Law review
2. Junior senator
3. Sat in Reverend Wright's hate-filled church for 20 years
4. Makes Ted Kennedy proud
5. Won over Oprah
6. Endorsed by Hamas
7. A good speaker
8. Wrote a book about hope
9. He says he is breaking from the past
And which of these qualify him to be President?
Please feel free to add any quantifiable domestic/foreign national leadership accomplishments.
10. Understands the War on Drugs having done many different types of drugs on a daily basis.

11. Understands Crime Issues in the US, after having friends who have bombed public buildings, organized riots and participated in Organized Crime.

12. Understands how to spend public monies after blowing 484 million dollars on his nomination campaign.

13. Understands PR having collected $8,000 a month from a Government PR contractor that he secured the account for.

You may add more.

If Hillary dosn't win the nomination or if she is not offered the VP spot, I have a feeling John McCain is going to be getting plenty of donations from anti-Obama voters.

Hillary or McCain

I HAVE FIGURED OUT THE MCBUSH STRATEGY.

THAT WAS NOT EASY SINCE HE CHANGES IT DAILY.

HE NOW WANTS TO BECOME A CLOSET BUSHNIK.

HAVING CLOSED DOOR FUND RAISER.

MCBUSH SHOULD GO BACK TO HIS CORNER

BEFORE SOMEONE TAKES IT.

It is amaazing to me, that after 8 years of George Bush, Americans would even consider electing John McCain. Everyone is entitled to their own vote, but to look and listen to this guy is scary. Mccain has no clue on anything. The fact that he was a prisoner of war does not qualify. I am a vet who has worked many years with POW's and other Viet Nam and Persian Gulf vets. War does not qualify one to lead. What it can do is warp one's perception so badly that they have tunnel vision on issues. No flexibility. Do we want another 4-8 years of this madness? I think not. Partisanship is a bunch of hogwash. I urge everyone to close their eyes and listen to the candidates. I f you are then still for John McCain, good luck.

When it comes right down to it., the better candidate will win. That clearly is John McCain. Obama's inexperience will shine through over the course of the campaign. This country and the world for that matter cannot afford to elect a do nothing, know nothing, one term senator from Illinois.

Looks like the obama trolls are at the McCain site!
Your comments are a disgrace!

Remember: Without the MILLIONS of Hillary voters the only thing obama may get is the nomination – NEVER EVER the White House!

So – Hello McCain – YOU Sir ARE Qualified

Don't be stupid Hillary supporters and vote for McCain when Obama becomes the nominee. You are only spiting yourself, your families, and your country. Obama and Hillary share 95% of the same vision.

I'm sorry if your candidate isn't going to make it – Obama ran a better campaign fair and square. Stop crying about MI and FL either – Hillary knew perfectly well that those states were going to be penalized. How many of you Hillary supporters would really care about MI and FL if she were up in the delegate count? You'd all be criticizing Obama for the same thing if the roles were reversed.

So, either stay home on election day or come together and vote Obama. Do not be stupid and vote for McCain as a "protest" vote because that's exactly what the Republicans want you to do.

I think McCain has pretty good control of his temper. He handled himself pretty well after four groups of Obama supporters interrupted his speech. Seems like Obama needs to control his sheep a little better than he has been.

The RNC needs to stop telling people the money they are donating will go to McCain's run for the Presidency. Most people expect that money to help the Senate and House of Representative mount their campaigns.

I would rather give money to Ron Paul than this clown.
At least Ron Paul knows how to stay in a budget and not over spend.

Can she understand and comprehend

Obviously, she missed it or she tried to deflect from the question ever so unsuccessfully

Barack Obama is a Citizen of Kenya

U. S. Senator Barack Obama is a citizen of Kenya and became a citizen of Kenya under the Independence Constitution of Kenya in 1963. Obama has never renounced his Kenyan citizenship. He is also a U. S. Citizen.

“Under the Independence Constitution of Kenya, Obama became a Kenyan citizen on December 12, 1963. He has never renounced his Kenyan citizenship. On his senate web site, Obama tap dances around his own dual nationality when discussing his father. Obama obviously knows, because his father told him, that he also held/holds Kenyan nationality.

“Once again, we find Barack Hussein Obama concealing fascinating information about his identity. There is nothing unusual about dual nationality. Indeed, ancient Roman Law doctrines of jus sanguini and jus soli come into play, because both Kenya and the U. S. recognize dual nationality. Once again, the issue is not ‘legality.’ The issue is the cover-up; Obama’s concealment of his own identity.

It's funny to read these posts and all the anger that's been directed towards McCain. If these same people were as confident of Obama winning the election as they say they are, they'd see no need to criticize the other side because it wouldn't change the end result.

And coming up w/ McSame is about as witty as signing your name "Ben Dover" on some substitute's attendance list.

As for the many Millions of people in America who lack the foresight of seeing where McCain will take America. Hold on to your donations incase you arrive at work to find your job has been shipped to China. And can't afford the Petrol to look for another job. Food Stamps won't pay your Mortgage.

We need a strong, experienced leader to lead us during the war in Iraq and we need a strong, experienced leader to lead us out of the war in Iraq.

Hillary or McCain

That's the kind of non answers that always come from both McCain and Clinton, this drives me nuts the way they play with people's minds like this. Hillary is the Queen of deflecting the subject off of whatever she does NOT want to discuss to something or someone she DOES want to. She also throws suggestions out there hoping they resonate with the dumb and stupid, she REALLY DO THINK PEOPLE ARE STUPID! I hate this! McCain trys this but he is to slow himself, thus people can see through him more, he talks to people as if he is playing with dim wits. He TRYS to lead people to thinking whatever he wants them to then says something like "Well I just believe the American people will be able to reason that out for themsleves" I hate it when they play games with the minds of the people as if they think we all are STUPID! Mr. McCain say what you mean and mean what you say. McCain also says one thing one day then has a totally different view on it days later, it's like he throws things out there to see how it will be accepted. You can never know what he really thinks about a matter.

I see that Republicans are much better and broad minded in terms of race. In fact George Bush had the most African American, Latin people in key roles during his term.
Until today, I never realized that true racists are in the Democratic party. My god, what a lie ?? Supporting Hillary who always lies, cheats, fakes and desperate compared to a decent gentleman Barack Obama??
I was thinking Hillary would be OK for VP (maybe)… now it is obvious.. It will be a disaster to have Hillary near the white house. I hope Obama stays away from this women..
OBAMA / AL GORE 2008

McCain's financial problems date back to his aides' (almost all LOBBYISTS) lavish spending of campaign funds last year on personal goodies and perks, to the point where he spent himself BROKE and had to go hat-in-hand to beg for a loan from a bank — with the promise of federal matching funds down the road as collateral. Without that collateral, the bank would have laughed him out the door. Oh, but now he says the fed funds promise WASN'T collateral, the liar!

Is this the way he'd run the federal government? Lying and borrowing and borrowing and lying? Not on MY citizen's watch and not with MY vote!

Randy, as of right this moment – the RNC has outraised the DNC over three times in their coffers. Not hearsay – a fact. They may outraise once they actually get a candidate, but as of this moment, they have a LONG way to go, mostly due to Dean's awful leadership.

According to the latest Federal Election Commission reports filed through the end of March, the RNC had $31 million in cash on hand while the DNC had only $5.3 million. The RNC has raised $36.5 million this year while the DNC has raised $17.7 million.

It's interesting that McCain comes from the party that is known for wealthy contributors and supporters, and yet, he's having trouble getting funding for his campaign. Do you think those wealthy supporters are seeing the handwriting on the wall? They didn't become wealthy by being stupid with their investments. Investing in McCain/Bush is a very bad decision. This time around, after 8 years of malfeasance and incompetence, the Republicans are going to go down hard. The rich investors will save their money for 2012, when Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton will be running. Hillary will have just been released from the rest home, and been given a clean bill of mental health (as long as she keeps taking her medication), Bill will have just been released from jail, and they'll both be quite unsavory, so Jeb will be the next president, just because he's almost normal (other than being a member of the Bush family)

Charlotte May 27th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Why do you not trust Obama? It's funny because I see some Hillary supporters saying that they don't trust Obama. That's probably about the lamest excuse you can ever come up with for not voting for Obama considering the fact that Hillary lied 4 times about Bosnia, was totally disingenuous about the bogus gas tax holiday, and as been completely disingenuous about MI & FL considering that she knew that they were not going to count and only started making a stink after it was her only potential path to the nomination. Sorry but the "I don't trust Obama but I trust Hillary" just doesn't hold water.

Also, how can you trust Mccain when there is hard evidence of him flip flopping on a ton of the big issues? Just say that you don't like Obama and won't vote for him because you let your emotions cloud your judgement.

Obama '08

My friends, his challenges haven't even begun! They will start as soon as his old friends, The Clintons, go get some rest.

It's sad that a lot of Obama supporters are accusing anyone that dosn't believe in Obama of being Limbaugh's Operation Chaos republicans or not true democrats. You people need to really get ahold of reality. If we are going to remain at war with Iraq, I want to have a strong, experienced leader like McCain. If we are going to exit the war in Iraq, I definately don't want Obama calling the shots.

Hillary or McCain period.

McCain was a former Vietnam VET, and prisoner of WAR, what if every former prisoner of war ran for the Presidency?. It's not a good enough reason to be President. He has the reputation of Napalming the Vietnameese people, it's a bad memory. Then he has G W BUSH bad policies, which has desimated the American economy, and a run away trade deficit of 9.2 TRILLION and rising. Factories closing down daily, people being made homeless, jobless. And wants to keep the war going, what for? is that his revenge against the world. McCain would turn a RECESSION into a DEPRESSION. The best advice I could give former Republicans is vote for CHANEGE, dump the dead beats, BUSH & McCain. He has nothing to offer America & the rest of the world except a dead end war that is costing every man woman and child 40.000 US. Next winter the power cuts will start to kick in and the high heating cost, with high food cost. It paints a GRIM picture for Americans take in 4 more years of the same BUSH NEO-CON racist policies against the rest of the world, it will get to the point countries may well decide not to supply oil to America, as revenge.

Wow… the GOP not answering questions and pulling the "slight-of-hand" routine.

Old school politics with a better educated base. GOP needs to completely reinvent itself.

All of the Hillary Clinton supporters sicken me with your double talk. You must all be sick in the head. Obama ran the campaign of the century, he didnt still anything from anyone. After she concedes watch the comments from the Clinton campaign. There are a number of people in her camp that are already admitting they were out-flanked in every area. To all of you votng for McCain, there is somethiong waiting for you as well. Mr. Scandal will force us to air all of his dirty laundry.

P.s. How is that campaign debt coming. Obama doesn't owe anyone. There is still money to burn.

It's because you have a product that nobody wants. We Americans can be temporarily crazy but not permanently stupid.

. . . How many viewers you've lost because of your refusal, again and again, to refuse to print comments that are pro-Hillary. Man, will you lose revenue!

McCain is a traitor to Veterans. My organization will be coming out in force once the Nomination is secured. Veterans and current active duty members of the armed forces are swelling our ranks daily. After Mccain's betrayel regarding the NEW GI Bill of rights, I find it my duty to get the word out about this careless warmonger. Our lives and commitment are of no concern to him. Our future is of no concern. Our Health and education are of no concern.

Veterans do not forgive betrayel Mr. McCain!

You have forgotten where you came from!

Let's try to be fair here.

Obama has won the most committed delegates, superdelegates, states, and the POPULAR VOTE. It is Hillary who is trying to STEAL the victory by claiming that she won Michigan by the greatest margin in the history of free elections: 328,309 to ZERO. No one REALLY believes that.

No one can explain how Obama can STEAL an election by following the rules. It is Hillary who AGREED to the rules and now wants to change them.

Let's try to be fair here.

SO ROBERTS NOW JOINS MARTIN, JESSICA, LOU, KING, COOPER

AS PART OF THE PRO OBAMA WAGON

SO MUCH FOR HONEST REPORTING WITH INTEGRITY

I NEVER KNEW THE DAY WOULD COME WHEN I WOULD SAY

FOX NEWS IS MORE OBJECTIVE THAN CNN

Obama about to clinch victory, aide says? The Primaries are not yet over. until then there is no winner.

I'm sooooooo tired of this stupidity and greed with our politicians.

They would love the presidency becuase it's power, status and the higest honor you could recieve. But some are simply NOT qualified to run it and it is obvious that it is only and all about the status and power they will recieve. McCain and Bush are prime examples. And I believe most republicans are as well. I also get that impression from Hilary my own democratic leader so Dems are not excluded but they seem to have less of a greed for this position running through them like the republicans have. Tired of them all. Get out and stop ruining this country and it's inhabitants. And republicans of the future….maybe you can help make your name seem less "evil". Since Bush, I'm very unpatriotic now.

McCain thinks that he can propose a policy that withholds the educational benefits just because he served in the Military. You have trouble getting funds, because we need someone who is for the people and there to help stop the suffering. We need someone who will make a change and stop Bush politics and not elect his big brother McCain. This race is about the American population who are hurting. This race is about who will make the changes necessary to help the people. This race is about who will listen to the people's concerns instead of their own agenda. This race is about having someone who will give the best to the veterans and when people know that you care, only then will care about what you know. Obama
has chosen to endure all the attacks and all the politics because he cares about the American people and trusts that they will see past the the deceit, lies, mistrust, and manipulation McCain is doing to withhold some benefits because he thinks that we won't have any people re-enlisting. He figures if we don't give them enough money,
they will have to re-enlist. Shame on you Mr. McCain. Because you are a millionaire and married to a millionaire does not mean that it is fair to smack your fellow veterans in the face with your ignorant proposal.

McCain——don't let up on Michelle Obama—-she's an angry person and she'll lose it if pressed which will end the election right there.

If she can't take the heat, have Barack leave her at home.

That's very interesting considering that the DNC under Dean has raised record LOW amounts vs. the RNC which has at least 10 times the amount. Look it up. Front page on our paper, and not new news. Report both sides. It's actually the DNC who is scrambling for funds and can't raise more until a candidate is decided.

Why are you going against educating veterans? NO MONEY FOR YOU!

Tired of W, OH,

Many of the people who post on CNN don't get past the censors because CNN apparently picks the comments they like to post-the ones from liberals and Bush/McCain haters. You wouldn't believe how many times they haven't posted mine because I'm evidently to conservative for their liking. If the GOP is desperate it's because they know if either of the liberals gets in, this country will spiral down even further and the lives sacrificed for our freedom will have been given in vain. Let's see if CNN will post some truth for a change.

So he speaks about "victory in Iraq…and we will not give in"…..CRAP CRAP CRAP.

Same thing Bush said….so….WE ARE NOT EVER LEAVING????????? Get OUT of POLITICS McCain, Bush, epublicans of the like….you are RUINGING this country.

And my sons would never EVER fight in ANY war for any man like this or others to follow. I'm not neutral to them, I'm aggressive to them as I am with religion. Wise up Americans…..it's Time!!!!

—Ryan From Denver

Lisa in GA,

How can people vote for a man that clearly told you his stance on the govenment..

I like to vote for someone that tells me were they stand. What do you like a candidate to tell you? I will bring change .

In the end the McCain victory over Obama will not be guided by his ability to raise money. McCain's victory will come because of people like me and my family whose sons and daughters are in uniform. They chose to serve our country as I did and my father before me. We love our country. We will die for it in a minute and defend it from enemies outside and inside it's borders. WE will not surrender to
the Islamic Jihadists and we will not vote for Barak Obama.

There will be no Bama in our Whitehouse.

John Mc"Bush" reminds me of Old Mr. Wilson from the Dennis the Menace days. Old, cranky, mumbling, crotchety neighbor no one wants in their neighborhood, let alone running the country.

His ideas are as old as he is. VOTE DEMOCRAT!

Hey Billy, you failed to mention that Obama trailed Clinton by 20+ points in most of those states, and he was able to make up a lot of that ground with that advertising in a very short time. Take your Hillary banner down and go cry in the corner. It's over.

Money won't buy this election for Obama. We will not have the socialist leftest Obama and Move on.org running this country.

McCain is dealing with fund raising issues because he isn't connecting with people. As a result, the RNC is getting donations because the party faithful trust them more than him. That's the story here.

If McCain can't connect with voters in his base and Hillary isn't on the ticket (polarizing figure) – there's precious little that can be done to really energize that base for a strong voter turnout. The gay marriage card won't work this time.

This bodes well for Obama.

Its sad that Hillary's supporters are choosing to view her evident loss as sexist. Remember, Hillary had dominated the polls for months and maintained double digits leads over Obama for a significant time. But people began to listen to Obama and they did what humans do: They changed their minds. Hillary was a terrific candidate-but she has lost. That is something both she and her supporters need to accept so that we, as a party and a nation, can move on. Now the next responsible thing for Hillary and her supporters to do is help re-unite the party so that we can win in November and pursue an agenda that Democrats believe in, and help to end that madness in Iraq and preserve a woman's right to choose-things that make us Democrats in the first place.

Remember, a vote for Mccain is a vote for George Bush, Dick Cheney, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, a continuing Iraq war, and the status quo. Don't throw your vote away. Hillary may have lost but we will in November if we come together!

All of the money in the world can't get you voted in. We don't want McSame As Bush for the next four years. Now go sit down and take a nap.

The corporations will fork over the money to the RNC to keep THEIR SUPPORTER(s) in office—if they think they can succeed. Of course, advertizing money may not work as well this year if the voters decide that they have really had enough of the Republican machine. If voters refuse "to buy" whatever arguments they come up with because of their last seven years of disreagarding the good of the American worker, then we can look forward to an election that removes their influence and gives a new way of governing a chance to overturn the miseries of the last years of the "Republican Way".

To John Roberts—why are you so worried about McCain's money—-
better worry about your own money as you may be unemployed sooner than you think—-

You know that this discussion will be closed when it hits 50 ~ 75 comments. CNN does not allow negative comments about John McCain to run as long Senators Obamam and Clinton.

Charlotte, you are so mistaken. Both Obama and Clinton will protect Roe vs. Wade. McCain, on the other hand, has already said he will appoint conservative judges who will overturn Roe vs. Wade.

But you go ahead and trust the safety and welfare of your daughters, grandaughters, and nieces to McCain. When they have to go outside the country to get a safe and legal abortion you be sure and tell them you voted for McCain.

Frankly, what you think of a candidate's wife shouldn't matter, they aren't the one running the country. At the very least you could do is wait to see what kind of spouse she would make in the White House, and what her true values are. You know, you obviously didn't mind Bill Clinton's conduct in the White House with the intern, or Hillary supporting him in that conduct.

Obama's accomplishments:

1. President of Harvard Law review
2. Junior senator
3. Sat in Reverend Wright's hate-filled church for 20 years
4. Makes Ted Kennedy proud
5. Won over Oprah
6. Endorsed by Hamas
7. A good speaker
8. Wrote a book about hope
9. He says he is breaking from the past

And which of these qualify him to be President?

Please feel free to add any quantifiable domestic/foreign national leadership accomplishments.

I still don't understand McShame's financial woes.
If if came down to it, couldn't Cindy McShame take a page from
Hillary's book, and loan her husband's campaign money?

Also, "Jeanie Martindale" – May 27th, 2008 1:56 pm ET:
LOL to your comment. Funny but true.

all you haters who believe war and fighting is the answer to the world's problems are clueless, and you will thank us when your life gets TONS better with a democratic president and congress.

you may like to vote against your own best interests, but fortunately there are more of us who actually believe in ourselves and the country and are demanding a better life! you're welcome!

dems in '08!!!!!!!!!!!

McCain is a two time loser going for three … not a good investment.

McCain will raise the money he needs for the general election. You can see with all the money Obama spends, he cant beat Hillary even outspending her 3 or 4 to 1, so money should not really be an issue for McCain. Unless Hillary decides to be on the ticket with Obama, McCain will get many of her supporters no matter what he spends. I won't be writing Hillary's name in, I will be voting for Hillary or McCain.

The Clinton's Legacy:

Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers, Whitewater, the White House travel office firings, White House coffees and Lincoln bedroom stays for donors, FBI background files on Republicans, missing documents and the presidential pardon of a fugitive friend.

Anyone But Hillary!

The protesters at McCains rally are cut from the same cloth as the cowards that spit on our Vietnam Vets. I for one will never stand by and let that happen again, not ever. They will carry a poster but won't serve their country. These are Obama supporters, the young cowards we will need in an emergency, God help us all.

Oh my! Where are ALL those "HILLARY OR MCCAIN" supporters! Why are you not putting your money where your mouth is?

I suspect that the Republicans know that they are going to lose so why waste money? When I looked at the totals of all three campaigns it is obvious that McCain is not being supported. By this time in 2000 Bush had $200 million in his coffers. This is a very telling sign of what the RNC really thinks!

Again, all of you Hillary & McCain supporters….. why not give up your hard earned money? These two need your help.

Always remember people. There are FAR more poor people than Rich and the Rich HATE to spend their money. As long as the Common Man keeps supporting the Candidate that has THEIR interests in mind and are not simply a tool for the RICH the Rich will LOSE.

GO OBAMA!!

McCain's fundraising won't be a problem CNN. Remember, Obama outspent Hillary 2-1, 3-1, 4-1 in swing states and still lost.

Money can't buy votes Obama, especially when we don't believe you have the experience or backbone to lead this country.

Obama=Carter

Plus, he won't debate and won't go on FOX for an interview. What a coward.

Hillary 08, take it to the convention.

It is so hard to understand how people voted for Bush in '04 amidst the Iraq war and several scandals emerging from within his administration-not to mention the 2000 election farce. And now these same people are supporting Mccain-and demanding that Hillary supporters do the same! As if the sky will fall if Obama is elected. Give me a break. John Mccain can't possibly turn anything around in America because he is part of the problem that got us where we are now. Obama on the other hand is highly educated and extremely competent and he has the single characteristic that defines great leaders: He listens. Mccain doesn't listen to anybody because he has "experience". Well, experience gave us George Bush in 2004. I want a president who is not trapped in some post World War 2 time warp. A president who understands that war costs-in more ways than one. I'm not gonna let the press cast my vote: I'm voting for tomorrow -not 25 years ago.

Obama '08

I'll donate the maximum $2,300 to McCain if and when Hillary concedes, and McCain will get my vote in November if Obama is the Democratic nominee. I won't vote for a far-left disenfranchising inexperienced racist liberal who has a hate-filled anti-American wife.

No one wants to support the Bush policies…that why McCain is not getting the support he needs. Bush is the only source he has left.

He was hoping that Obama would use PAC funds that he could use PAC funds as well. McCain is having a trouble getting PAC funds too. Obama said if he became Presidential Nominee he would consider it So, until then, McCain has to play the waiting game.

WHO IS THE RIGHT MIND IS GOING TO GIVE MONEY TO THIS OLD MAN HE MIGHT START A WAR WITH VIETNAM FOR REVENGE, JUST LIKE BUSH DID WITH IRAQ TO FINISH WHAT HIS OLD MAN STARTED.

I am confused by Hillary supporters who indicate they will vote for McCain if Obama gets the Dem. nomination! Are you folks not Democrats!!?? Would you really prefer to cut off your nose just to spite your face?
McCain is not an independent! He is a Bush Republican! He has sold out any "maverick inclinations" in him to pander to the right-wing conservative base of the Republicans. His reversal on the tax cuts, his speech on appointing conservative judges, his denial of not having voted for Bush, etc. all speak to this pandering.
Obama is a black man running for president. He has received Secret Service protection earlier than any other candidate in history. His life, his wife's life and the lives of their two daughters are being threatened every day. Would not only a patriot go through this!?
Don’t Obama and Hillary agree on most major issues!?
Thus, the questions become: Are you more racist than Democrat!?
Are you more racist than pro choice!? Are you more racist than anti-tax cuts for the rich!?

Thats only one of a million things he'll be grappling with.

As long as McCain caters to only small groups, of course it will be hard to raise money. Until he says more about the economy and less about his patriotism, it will be hard to raise money.

So far, McCain acts like he's trying out for a Pentagon position, not the Presidency. Hey, this country needs a president who can lead the nation, not just Iraq.

operation chaos.

LOL "Tired"

You think many Republicans would come to CNN? LOL

Maybe he can get some money from his twin sister HRC….oh, wait she is in debt….again!! There will be no country for old men! Say no to this warmonger!!

Obama '08

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

Peter E said:

"Oddly enough they don't report on the even more amazing story of McCain, who came back from polling in the single digits in the fall, practically out of the race, to become his party's nominee…"

I hate to break it to you, Pete, but he became the nominee because there wasn't a better choice. Your party was torn asunder by the division within your ranks. Given the choice between religious zealots who want to control our lives every much as the "liberal wingnuts" of which the Democratic party is accused and other plasticine players, McCain remains in the fight because of attrition.

mccain's got more than his pitiful fundraising to worry about—-his votes against the troops when he of ALL people should SUPPORT our troops; Bush; his pledge to continue the failed policies of the WORST president with the WORST "approval" ratings in the history of this country; Bush; his flip-flopping extraordinaire; Bush; his lack of knowledge of the middle east; Bush; SUPPORTING the failed invasion of iraq; Bush; embracing a new FAILED invasion of iran; Bush; his own staff ABANDONING his camp in droves b/c they cant support him for president (the people who know him BEST dont think he'd make a good president!!); Bush; his war-mongering and war-profiteering ways; Bush; and the list goes on and on ad nauseam…

he may have been a hero 40 years ago, but he is a disgrace today!!!

Billy from Florida :

I find it funny that pundits and bloggers keep on bringing up the fact that Obama out spent HRC 3-1.

He Had The Money! If I got 3 times more than you; of course, if I spend it, I will spend more than you! I agree he lost those races, but what kind of idiot would he be to out raise her so convincingly and then sit on the money. He used the money for what it was intended for so please add that to your comment instead of just pointing out the view that helps HRC's arguement.

I will vote democrat regardless this year and I don't need to point out only things that help Obama to get satisfaction.

McSame comes off as the cranky old man who yells at the paper boy because the paper didnt land on the porch. His speeches put you to sleep and are so rambling I cant tell what the message is…maybe THATS why no one wants to give him their hard earned money!!!!

"Obama is the One" wrote: But, let's not be so narrow-minded as to defeat every goal and principle many of us share for this country and for our families!!!!!!! Are you a closet Republican?

Yes, many of the people that post on CNN are Limbaugh's Operation Chaos republicans. Don't give their comments too much weight, unless you just want to use them as a gauge to indicate how desperate the GOP is this election.

MCCAIN CAN WIN ON A BIPARTISAN TICKET WITH HILLARY CLINTON. THAT IS IF OBAMA DECLINES TO ASK CLINTON TO BE THE VP RUNNING MATE ON THE DEMS TICKET

Judges have to be approved by the Senate. Roe v Wade will not be overturned. It has been tried and tried with no success. All these young girls that support Obama have no idea the struggles women have had for years. Hillary Clinton is the best choice for this country. I will write her name on my ballot in November, and if she doesn't win then I hope that my vote for her helps helps McCain. I do not trust Obama and I sure can't stand Michelle.

McSame already has money problems, and he thinks he can help the economy. I don't think so!

GO OBAMA!!!!!

i DON'T BELIEVE THAT!!!!!! Learn….. Learn to listen… in 2000 George Bush Jr, had 2.5% more than McCain, to run on… Bush is out of this one…. The Millions will come… The day will be won…
Spreading Rumour's is for Idiot's………….Go be an Idiot by yourself…

To Billy from Florida

I think we should all remember that Hillary had a much bigger and stronger organization, much more money going in, most of the movers and shakers in the DNC behind her, and a former President of the United States campaigning for her full time, and she still lost 32 of 51 contests and is almost 200 delegates behind.

It is probably the right time to point out to all BHO supporters that are namecalling out of frustration, say like "Obama is the one", that they themselves are perhaps "IDIOTS" iff they expect that by calling al the women who support HRC idiots they are going to sway them in November to vote for Hillary. And for the record women are a majority in this country. So if I were you, I would watch what I say. It is a pity that they cannot unite themselves and vote for their own candidate. African Americans as a race are voting 91-9 in favour of Hillary. What is wrong if women vote along their gender? Why is that wrong. Or are you just frustrated that Hillary won't go away the way you want her to. too bad. So grow up. Or shoudl I say "man up". And by the way there are also a lot of men who are perfectly comfortable in their masculinity to vote for Hillary coz she is the right candidate – unlike some of you who have an issue with a woman being a president. So man up dude and grow a pair. Get over you sexist views.

McCain won't need any extra cash as the only hope he has for votes will come from his base and he doesn't need to promote himself to these people as they have already proven they'll vote for a moron. Ergo advertising to attract voters to support an identical agenda that has been in place for the past 7+ years will simply be a waste of money. The decision is quite clear people who are happy with what has happened over the past 7+ years will vote for John and those who don't like your country's direction over this period of time will vote against him regardless who is running as the opposition.

What was left unsaid was that the RNC has outraised the DNC in the last few elections. It appears that the DNC is going to outraise the RNC in this election, that IMPLIES (not a fact here folks but simply an inferance) that the DNC is supported by more people and therefore more likely to win the General Election. This means that we are VERY likely to have a Democrat for President next time, in it looks like that Democrat will be Mr. Obama.

A comment to those who say Mr. obama does not represent rural America and therefore does not represent America. bad news folks more people live in urban and suburban areas in the US, places carried by Mr. Obama, than live in rural America. He DOES represent the REAL America not the America everyone thinks we are but the America we really are! He represents me,a 47 year old, white male, retired enlisted military (21 years), father of three. Not some starry eyed college student, not some stuck in the 50s (that did not really exist) aging racist but a hard working real person.

Matt,

Don't expect "honesty" from CNN. They are nothing more than a secular fundamentalist lapdog of the Democratic Party.

He's having problems because BUSH screwed us already with a $12 trillion rip off… McSame you should go to your friends if you need money; you know them Chevron, WalMart, Enron, Halliburton, Coutrywide, Exxon-Mobil and the wheels on the bus go round and round!

Interesting. I'm going to go give Obama more money now

Beca,
Let's try to be fair here. Obama has won the most committed delegates, superdelegates, states, and the POPULAR VOTE. It is Hillary who is trying to STEAL the victory by claiming that she won Michigan by the greatest margin in the history of free elections: 328,309 to ZERO. No one REALLY believes that.
No one can explain how Obama can STEAL an election by following the rules. It is Hillary who AGREED to the rules and now wants to change them.
Let's try to be fair here.

Dear " Obama is the one " can you understand that ABORTION is not an issue to a lot of people in this country?
IF or when your candidate will start telling us about issues ,
what he will do about economy ,
TAXES ,

and not sermons"YES WE CAN "
than and only than we will consider him
P.S. I still don"t like HIM

NO WE McCAN'T!!

I believe that many democrats are donating to the candidate of their choice while many republicans are giving their money to the party. This helps explain some of the discrepecies. There should be a similiar amount of money available for both canidates in the fall.

If Hillary is not the Nominee, and it looks as if she will not be, my money will go to Mccain as I will not vote for the ultra liberal Obama. I vote country first party second. I have voted for republicans in the past when the stupid DNC pick the wrong person and will do so again. The last person I want in a crisis is another Jimmy Carter or Obama.

The news of President Bush going to go out today and raise campaign monies for McCain is the BEST news the Democrats could ask for! A President with the lowest approval rating with a failed foreign policy that McCain wants to continue will only help the Dems. You go President Bush!!!!

McCain is unelectable. Everyone knows this.

Once the Democratic nomination is wrapped up by Obama, you will see McCain's numbers plummet.

Obama WILL be the next president. Period.

I cannot believe how the racisist have shown their true colors.. through out this primary season… the only sad part about it .. all those they say they will support Mccain deserve everything that the republications are to put on their b-HINDS!

If Mccain does win .. we the people will never let him go as far as Bush… the movement will impeach him before he gets started good.. the people will be watching closely,,, all the millions that will not vote McCain… and maybe some of the dummies who do support McCain………

How can people vote for a man that clearly told you his stance on the govenment.. I can't tell you how to vote.. I won't even try but I do know…. what goes around comes around….

What's new ? He's a loser. He is "Songbird" to the Vietnamese – ha ha ha ha ha – he LOST to Bush because he's worse than Bush.

It's amazing how many foolish people refer to Obama "stealing the nomination" from Hillary, like it's something she owned. He's won more delegates, that's not stealing. Grow up!

So sad. No one wants to give their dollars to McStupid. Awww.

Once the Dem primaries are over I am sure the money will start flowing in as all the negative ads by Dean as a proxy for Obama will not only rejuvenate the Republican base but will also tip the independents like me who have so far not given any side money in the primaries onto his side. Believe me, a lot of people like me believe that the "WAR" was wrong from the beginning. But having started it, we do not believe you cut and run. There is an obligation to Iraq that needs to be fulfilled. I say put a 50% tax on all those people who voted Bush into power – a so called war TAX. And put an additional 100% tax on Heinz Company and that joker John Kerry for losing the election to Bush who has an IQ of .5. You cannot pound a country into oblivion, that too, uninvited and then say "oh this is costing us too much. We are going to leave. Or maybe use your oil money". Well you should have thought about it before going to WAR. USA as a nation, in electing GWB, has the collective responsibility of the war. YOU CANNOT walk away from that obligation now. And NO, it is NOT OK for the war to be funded by Iraqi OIL money. That is NOT US of A's decision to make. Moral of the story – think twice before you leap into something.

That said, of the three candidates left in the race, Obama has the least experience on any front – let alone war. The country does not need a freshman as a president. We are at a dangerous precipice in the history of the this country. We need someone with a balanced head, experience and the vision. Not just words. I would not hire someone who worked in my firm for 18 months to be the next CEO of my company. That is for a very good reason and similarly I would NOT hire a freshman senator to be the C-in-C of my country either. So to me John McCain is the most logical choice. Of course he needs to get a VP who understands the economy. And definitely that CANNOT be Carly Fiorina. Her record at HP was NOT that impressive. Anyways, I would like to see some policy debates between McCain and Hillary. Obama will stand no chance. He has flair but no depth as was quite obvious in the last debate between him and Hillary. The guy could barely explain hi sown position on capital gains!!. Oh well. The nation is love strickem. What can I say……. Its the season for "change" we can believe in .. but not change that we can "implement". There in "lies" the difference between "Idealism", as demonstrated by the so-called-educated-elitist-left-liberals, and "realism". I'll take Manet over Shakespeare any day.

THIS IS A DANGEROUS MAN! HE WANTS TO KILL AMERICAN WHILE BABIES GROW UP WITHOUT PARENTS!

HE WON'T EVEN PAY TO EDUCATE THOSE BABIES BECAUSE HE WON'T AGREE TO EDUCATE SOLDIERS!

LOOK OUT! YOU THINK THE ECONOMY IS BAD NOW — WAIT FOUR YEARS OF THIS MESS AND WE WILL ALL BE LIVING LIKE OTHER THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES!!!!

CHINA AND INDIA WILL BE THE NEW SUPER-POWERS!!

The moist important vote someone can cast is with their wallet. Free votes are easy, but if someone is willing to pay for their vote, then its worth much more. Republicans are bored with this election, and democrats are excited and turning out in record numbers. Obama has had over 1.5 million donors, most of which paid less than $100 – that is a HUGE amount of people donating to his campaign. Obama is going to win the GE by a landslide!

CAN ANY ONE TELL ME DOES OBAMA HAS TO SERVE IN THE MILLITARY TO SUPPORT THE GI BILL?MR MCCAIN IS ALWAYS OUT OF HIS MIND

Obama / Clinton will be the next president.Dear sir please make your way home.Enough of spending money earned from iraq .Atleast save it for your loved ones.

The RNC is raising a lot of money, but from big time lobbyists. McCain himself can't raise much from ordinary citizens.

The article is about McCain's lack of ability to raise funds for his own campaign, not that Obama outspent Hillary and still lost that primary(but yet he is still AHEAD OF HER)…and he isn't STEALING the nomination from Billary…she GAVE IT TO HIM on a SILVER PLATTER…lol..the lengths people go through to bash Obama…ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!

Please go ahead and vote for McCain..you probably were gonna do that anyway..closet REPUBLICANS…lol

And why aren't the citizens of Florida and Michigan NOT marching/complaining to their REPUBLICAN Governors for moving up the primary and BREAKING THE RULES OF THE DNC???

Misplaced anger towards Obama won't change the fact that YOUR OWN GOVERNORS MESSED YOU OVER…Obama didn't…

so many delusions, so little time!!!!!

To "Obama is the One". Yes, I used to be a Republican, and for the first time I switched to the Democrats, but boy, I am so regret it, you people are a buch of cry babies that do not respect other people's view.

Senator McCain will not win the white house no matter how much money he raises. The
American people cannot be fooled any longer…we do not want four more years of Bush policies…we want change, therefore we
want Senator Obama.
Yes we do!

McCain is an Idiot. Neither he has any idea about economy nor foreign Policy. Please get a life in your last days Old Brat

To "Peter E":

Of course McSame did ok…..HE DIDN"T HAVE ANY COMPETITION!!!!

Obama did.

This reminds me, I need to send some cash from my stimulus check to Obama.

Obama for Prez!

No big surprise here. McCain is not very exciting. He offers very little more than FOUR more years of GW Bush. Not too many are interested in giving their money to see Bush's policies continued. The 71% disapproval ratings can attest to that!

Some feel like this is "Republican bashig" but its just reporting the truth: Obama has set a host of fundraising records while McCain is doing far worse than Bush did eight years ago. Obama generally raises twice as much each month and the money is coming in the form of small donations (over 1,000,000) from regular people.

@ Beca and Billy

The nomination was HRC to loose, and by all calculations she has. He has nearly a 200 delegate lead. 160 are pledged voted for by the people delegates.

Obama spent 3 to 1 more on advertising to get his message out. In the marketing industry this is called competing against an established brand. When you compete against an established brand, you have to out spend on advertising.

Obama also had the money to spend. I have a feeling that if Hillary had such a surplus of funds she would spend every dime. She has spent every dime and dimes to be named later. When your campaign is 20-30 million in debt because you can not keep up with the donations from your rival it looks bad. He forced her to spend more money then she wanted to and see where she is today on funds. In the hole.

It is amazing to me the shear numbers of people that are contributing to Obama's campaign. It is amazing to say the least.

When so many people donate to a Obama's campaign, one has to ask why? Why are so many people getting involved? When you see the answer to that question, you will see why the Obama train will keep on rolling all the way to 1600 N Pennsylvania in January.

Money or not, Obama has now become the underdog in the general election. And it's not because of Hillary's spite. It's because Obama supporters have been calling her supporters 'idiot' or even worse 'racist' since January. They've pushed Hillary supporters out of the party, telling them to stay down, shut up, nobody wants to hear their voice. You still wonder, after all these insults hurled at them why they are turning in droves towards McCain? Do you truly believe that after you call somebody an 'idiot' they'll immediately surrender and say 'you're right, I'll vote for your candidate now?'

Wow Beca how exactly did Barack steal the nomination from Hillary? He has flat out, out campaigned, out energized, and out motivated people and that will carry over into the general election when he will have three times the money John McCain has…then John McCain and Republican get to see what kind of power the new democratic party can wield with a whole new constituency…P.S. Beca this coming from a Hillary supporter you would be ignorant to ignore even your own candidates words and vote for someone (John McCain) who doesn't support any of the policies that Hillary supports over someone who supports and cherishes the same values and principles that Hillary does, and by that I mean Barack…Shame on you

McSame is a old sick man and he wants to finish his political career
in the white house. Thats all he is looking for.

Would he survive the next 4 years? That is in question.

To bring america out of this mess and improve relations with other world leaders requires a young energetic man
like Barack Obama!

Hillary is toast anyways. Put the old style politics to rest.

Therefore republicans, wake up and go for change !

Obama for President!

people won't give to the candidate that isn't pushing for a fast exit from Iraq?….shocker!

Right or wrong on Iraq as long as his opinion and public opinion are so far apart he's not going to be able to cash in.

Hey John, your talking to a Republican, you should no better not to expect a strait anwer or the truth. Oh ya, same goes for Billary.

Now why on earth would the fine people of this great country of ours be hesitant to support John McBush, R-AZ? Why should the past seven years really matter? It's not the facts right, just the strange way The Dumb and McBush can spin them?

Other than the economy, the Iraq War, the environment, health care, immigration, world leadership, the Middle East, energy, job loss, retirement programs, education, trade deficit, the drug war, foreign sell off and oil prices……. Bush has done great hasn't he?

YES WE MCBUSH!!

He brakes all the Federal finance laws anyway, so I'm sure he'll figure something out.

Billy, I think we should also all remember that even though Obama lost those states, Hillary still lost the nomination.

Beca: I hope that when his SC appointees overturn Roe v. Wade, you won't think you've wasted your money.

Getting more votes, more delegates, and more states isn't "stealing" a nomination. It's called "getting elected".

Are you seriously saying it's unfair that someone had the nerve to run against her? I will admit that Hillary does do quite well in elections where she runs unopposed.

Yes "Billy from Florida" Obama did but guess what?? It works. The prime objective was achived. By Obama doing so it cut Clinton's double digit lead to a single digit. Just think of it this way. Had Obama had more time he would have matched Clinton and maybe beat her.

And if I am not mistaken he was on his way until some kitchen sinks came flying at him…Plus other negative distraction.

I am a betting man and I believe McSane is not up to the task of being President. He will not be able to keep up to the rigors of the job.

While the press is showing him to be going non stop I am sure old grampa is out of breath and steam all the time but he is just trying to look good.

I know I have grandparents McSane's age and I see these things. So I know.

I've given hundreds and hundreds of dollars to the Clinton campaign, because I believe unequivocally that Hillary Clinton is the best candidate. However, whenever the DNC has come knocking on my door, they have gotten ZIP! They've botched this entire campaign with their irresponsible MI/FL fiasco. And they will continue to get ZIP from me! If not Hillary, then nobody. THIS ONE is for principle!

I wonder why. Do you think that will change when the GE gets under way?

Matt Nebraska,

You said it ! I couldn't agree more.

Uh, that's because no one wants to see George W. Bush PART 3.

Billy from Florida,

Your beloved Clinton wasnt able to raise the amount of money Obama did!! Why?? Because she doesnt have the support that obama has..

Are you saying she would not have spent the money if she had it??

Besides, none of this no longer matters! Obama is the nominee regardless.. Hilary has run the worst campaign in decades!

First off your an idiot Beca. How can he steal the nomination when he is ahead? That doesn't make any sense. Also, he didn't steal anything. If you were to blame anyone it would be the voters that voted for him and going against them is then going against the democratic will of the people. If Obama were in the same position would you be saying Hillary stole the nomination? No. Hillary is a good candidate she just ran against a better one. They also both agree on mostly the same issues. So for you to say you won't vote for someone who holds mostly identical views as Hillary and that you'll go with someone who shares opposite views is just stupid. It's alright to have a grudge that your candidate lost, but realize what will happen if you vote for McCain. It's pretty much voting for everything that isn't what Hillary stands for.

Also, don't claim she is ahead in the popular vote because that is not true. He's ahead, maybe by a small number but still ahead, and also the numbers for the popular vote in caucus states isn't ever released, so it's a miss represented number anyways. And mind you he did win most if not all caucuses.

By the end of the GE you'll be ready for a long rest. G'night Dear John. Sweet dreams.

Maybe McCain can appeal for funding from EX-HILLARY supporters.

They seem to have no clue as to the merits of contributing, so why not go for them?? Just bring a different flavor of Kool-Aid and you'll get their funds and their undying (if misplaced) support!!

We will soon have a awesome new President!

BARACK OBAMA 08 & 12!

Yes we can! Yes we will!

I am continually amused that while Obama purports to be the agent of change, cleaning up Washington politics and getting Americans their democracy back, the bottomline is that his entire campaign is really just about outraising and outspending his opponents. Way to bring about 'change!' By continuing to rely on, and even amplifying the political money machine he continually criticizes.

What if they gave a fundraiser and nobody came!

too many racist people against obama

The reps are out-fund-raising the dems significantly. Why is this a problem for McCain? Unless only McCain raised money can be used in the campaign it doesn't really matter who puts it in the pot. In fact doesn't that mean that McCain can spend more time pressing the flesh with more voters?

OT: Would somebody explain to me the constant claim by some HRC supporters that her opponent is somehow "stealing" the nomination. I am under the impression that BHO has followed the rules set out by the DNC and agreed to by both candidates. I am also under the impression that he has won more delegates, more states, and if one includes all states that have expressed an official opinion, the popular vote. Am I missing something? Did the nomination belong to HRC and the DNC just forgot to tell the voters?

I really enjoy the fact that what McCain's representative said is called a "non-answer" by CNN, even though outright bald-faced lies by democrats are only called "misspeaks."

Any HRC supporter that supports McCain if Obama gets the nomination is an idiot. It CLEARLY shows the lack of principle upon which they base their voting because McCain's views are much more different than Hillary's than Obama's. These silly people voting on pure emotion are willing to help John McCain get into the office and put 2 new very conservative judges in the Court who will take away women's rights in ways not even currently understood just because Obama won in a fair race. Most of these HRC supporters are women who are too hurt that their shining beacon female candidate will lose this time around. That's sad and pathetic. There will be another woman who will have an opportunity. You don't have to go and further ruin outr country via some sort fo vengeful vote for John McCain just because HRC is not the presidential candidate for the Democratic PArty. What kind of compelte imbeciles are you people???? Do you want a 100+ year occupation? Do you want to keep spending billions upon billions every day in Iraq? Do you want 1000s more of our troops to die for a war that should have never been waged? Do you REALLY want to maintain the status quo in this country, its foreign policy and its economic policies???

You ALL need to QUICKLY get over the fact that Hillary won't win this time around and keep the Democratic party strong so that Hillary or another female democrat will have a strong chance of winning in 2012 and 2016. Stop being so illogical and utterly emotional to your own detriment. I want a female president too! I wanted the French female candidate to win. I support women in power. But, let's not be so narrow-minded as to defeat every goal and principle many of us share for this country and for our families!!!!!!! Are you a closet Republican?

Yes, McCain is being outraised and outspent. He was outraised and outspent even in the initial republican primaries… and yet he still won.
The press likes to point out how amazing the Obama story is, how quickly he made up double digit poll deficit to become the democratic frontrunner. Oddly enough they don't report on the even more amazing story of McCain, who came back from polling in the single digits in the fall, practically out of the race, to become his party's nominee… And he did it all at one tenth the money of either democrat's campaign!

McFilp Flopper is having trouble with fund raising is because his running a Bush 3rd term.

Every Stupid Americans will vote for Mcsame Bush

Now that McCain has Bushie helping with fund raising money should be no problem. Also after the DNC foisting of Obama you have a large demographic of people waiting to send McCain some money.

Hillary
McCain
Obama-never

The answer is simple. McCain lacks the charisma and integrity that Obama has.

Obama 2008 and 2012

Honest reporting? You wont find that in this country. Very rarely does it show it's face. At least not in English with an American ascent. You pretty much have to know a non-english European language to get even a fraction of truth to what really goes on behind the scene in America. The news, government, and church all share the same bed. It's time to wake up and change that and a lot of other things before we can think of our selves as a progressive nation again.

First this guy does not veterans to be educated. He only wants un-educated, brainwashed soldiers in his military he thinks he is going to lead? Is he Darth Vader and the non-commissioned officers are the StormTroppers. And to have a private closed media fundraiser. If it looks like a rat, smells like a rat, and acts like a rat, It's a RAT!

TO: "Billy from Florida"
So what if Obama outspent Hillary 3 to 1 in several states and lost. The fact of the matter is that many supporters in those states (i.e. PA, OH, etc) were already strong Pro-Clinton anyway. So in affect he needed to spend additional money in order to campaign much more aggressively in those areas. This helped to at least minimize her margin of victory in those states. Since Obama was resourceful enough to raise the money for the purpose of campainging, why not use those dollars??

I agree that there is not necessarily a correlation between spending money and winning states; but is sure helps. This is part of the reason why Obama has won more than twice as many states has Hillary. And he did not have to go $20 million in debt to do so.

So the fact that Mcshame has problems raising funds just baffles me. Shouldn't he have the support of the entire Right wing supporting him financially???

(typo correction from previous post)

Obama's aide, Axelrod feels that Obama is reaching the goal of winning the nomination because he is looking at 2026 but that is not the winning total. Once Florida and Michigan are included the amount of delegates needed is 2229. Therefore he is not clinching the nomination and I feel that because of the unfairness of this race, the nominee should not be nominated until the convention in August. Clinton has not been treated fairly because of the media disrespecting her but when it comes to Obama they are afraid to mention anything negative about him because of the fear of being called racist. As far as I am concerned, Obama's campaign people especially Axelrod reminds me dishonest used car salesmen. I really wonder where they are getting their money. I think its time that the media start looking into this and find out what dishonesty is going on here.

Clinton is the better and stronger of the two candidates and I hope she is given that fair chance of going to the convention and let the voting there decide who the nominee is going to be.

Yeah but he has an ace up his sleeve.

Many of his top level campaign workers take very small salaries from the campaign.

Those same workers also show up on the rolls of McCain's non profit organization which happens to be funded by very large contributions from big corporations.

The pay cheques those individuals draw from the non profit dwarf what they get paid from the campaign even though they don't seem to do any actual WORK for the non profit.

It's a neat end-run around his own legislation.

I seem to remember John McCain had some financial problems earlier in this campaign. He came through OK and will do the same for the general election.

What nonsense! The man hasn't even started as yet.

McCain is the McMain candidate to be President of the USA.

Obama is the nominee y'all take a hike. Cry Babies

WOW THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST ONE SIDED NEWS STORY EVER WRITTEN you dont even try to hide the fact that you are anti republican do you if the same cituation happend with ayn demecrat their word would be taken as fact and not even questioned cnn you are pathetic and so are your liberal puppet masters pulling your string along

Hey Billy from Florida,

Senator Obama outspends Senator Clinton because HE CAN. He has managed his campaign well unlike the good Senator from New York, Arkansas, Pennslyvania, where is she from again?

He spends the money so people can GET TO KNOW HIM and DISSPELL false rumors put out about him by people, uh, like YOU Billy! You, Senators McCain and Clinton and their supporters. He is doing EXACTLY what he needs too, which is why he has won more delegates and votes. Billy, you need to come on aboard because out of the three, Senator Obama represents the people, you, better than the others. Senator McCain doesn't even come close.

Matt what planet have you been on? McCain can NOT raise money! If he hasn't yet he won't. Obama doesn't ever have to scale back his rally's or fundraisers, they are alway not enough tickets. Hey at least Obama doesn't have to scale back and use his back yard!

Billy from Florida get a life Hillary has lost, and I repeat even if Obama losses the general, you candidate Hillary will never become President. Period She is a loser.

Can McCain fix the money problem?

No, is the answer. who's going to bet on the republicans after what they've done for the last 8 years.

To Billy from Florida:

Yes – Obama had to spend money in some states – yes more than Hillary – that's because he is a rookie and was going up against the powerful Clinton name! If Hillary wasn't the former first lady – she too would have the same issue!

But guess what? Obama money is not wasted! Also – his campaign is not BROKE! So that should tell you some thing!

Spending money is not always about winning – it's about getting his name out there and when he starts his general election – the money you and Bill Clinton thought is a waste will prove you wrong!

Mc Cain will have the same problem as Hillary ———— people won't give him money!

So he is nothing like "Boy George", "Georgie Boy", but he needs him to help him raise campaign funds. It is funny how we forget how fast this man, John McCain, jumped on a plane after reaching the delegate count to receive the republican nomination, and flew to Washington to received George W. Bush's endorsement. Yeah, voting for John McCain is a third term of Bush, not a full dose but 3/4.

i hate it when he talks about his service for this country and he was a war prisoner. there are thusands of veterans in this country and thousands of war prisoners and he should just shut up and give the white house to Obama or Clinton Democrats 08

John,you turned into a political coward in 2000,when you didnt have the guts to stand your ground against Bush.

For those who vote for McCain, you must not care about the economy, women's right's or the lives being lost everyday for a war that is all based on lies!!!!

Just Republican fatigue this year.

America is seeking a new direction.

Obama will lead America to the direction of change.

Which makes the whole idea of accepting public financing such a joke. McCain doesn't have to raise money himself. Just have the RNC do it for you. So now he gets all the RNC money and the $82 million from public financing he is going to accept because he "can't raise money on his own"

This is one reason why it's patently ridiculous to say Obama is not a viable candidate, as some on this board like to say. If he was not viable, he wouldn't be able to raise nearly as much as he does. I don't see Mike Gravel or Dennis Kucinich raking in this kind of cash. No matter which side you're on, you have to admit that this a very real and serious concern for the McCain campaign.

And Beca, sure he stole the nomination…if you define "stealing" as winning more votes than one's opponent.

Any Democrat who votes for John McCain hates America and it's future.

McSame has all the Lobby money he needs. While bush for brainz may not stand by his side in public, McLame will suck that oil teat for all it's worth in private.

WE WON'T FORGET THE KEATING 5 JOHN MCSHAME. TELL THE TRUTH.

I'm a black guy, and I love McCain. He is totally awesome. He reminds me of my uncle. My uncle smokes Kool Filter Kings but he will not back down off of anything he believes in. He will fight you over Colt 45 being better than Miller Lite.

John MCCain is a fighter as well. He gets angry! He's emotional.

That's why I'm voting for John McCain.

he's a joke .he's going down!hahahaha!

obama's world 2008/12

Keep remembering. donating to McBush = ending Rove v. Wade and a continuation of a senseless war that the Respublican President started.

i think we should be asking, will the big oil support him like they did bush. with mccain talking global warming, and alternative fuels, that can not make him a very popular man. do you think he will flip flop when bush comes to town for a fund raiser? i bet he will love big oil behind closed doors. we already know he's in bed with them, he just need to come out of the closet.

Don`t worry, as long as the price (the Presidency of the United States of America) is not gone, there will be enough money available for any canditate to keep the engine running

BILLY FROM FLORIDA, YOU NEED TO STOP LISTENING TO TOO MUCH SPINS. The objective of fundraising i to spend the money on campaign and spend it wisely. dont be mad Obama is favored by the people.

Billary uses her money to pay Mark penn and fly seperate private jets with bill. If Obama uses his for advertizing etc. let it be. Those states he lost were states he were suppose to lose. lets be clear. west racist virrginia, racist Kentucky and PA where he closed in on a big margine and became a victim of elitsts and Rev wright.

BECA, Obama has earned the nominee with delegates and surviving karl rove politricks from hillary. so don't be stupid and stop listening to the clintons making you think the election has been stolen from them. thats why they are being called to drop out. because of the spins and nonsense that comes out of their mouth.

I will donate to John McCain's candidacy when he agrees to cut taxes for the rich.

He can't raise money because people don't believe in him. People only give their money to worthy causes. All he will do is continue to have their sons and daughters killed in Iraq, continue to oppose the GI bill, continue George Bush's corporate tax cuts and support NAFTA. Giving money to mccain is worse than gambling.

I can summarize the reasons McCain is grappling with fundraising. They are as followed:

1) McCain is unaspiring
2) McCain is too old
3) To Democrats, McCain too much like Bush
4) To Republicans, McCain is not enough like Bush
5) To Independents McCain is too pro-military

Many Obama supporters like myself have reduced our contributions to Obama so that Hillary can exit the race without our money

If Obama's campaign is smart they will fundraise like HELL for the entire primary season until the convention, then Obama should reach some type of agreement with McCain on using public funding for the general election.

I'll donate the maximum $2,300 to McCain if and when Hillary concedes, and McCain will get my vote in November if Obama is the Democratic nominee. I won't vote for a far-left disenfranchising inexperienced racist liberal who has a hate-filled anti-American wife.

maybe they can't remember where they put the money. maybe fat boy limbaugh, and funny boy hannity will be his sugar daddies.

John McCain should be ashamed of himself for not supporting the GI Bill. He along with Bush should be punished for sending our young chidren to die in Iraq. And now he wants to with hold a college education from them. Shame on you. you are nothing else but an old fart. Most of the young people who go into the military go there in high hopes of gaining an education. They lose their lives, limbs etc and you r saying that they can't get an education. Please for God sake, keep this lunatic along with Hillary Clinton out of the White house. And please keep Billary away from the convention. She is planning to come as a sucicide bomber and blow everything up. Bill is losing his mind already. Obama is going to be our next president. And no weapon form against him has and never will prosper. God has his back. And to u "white" people who don't like him because he's black, may God help you. Remember his mom is white, If someone told you that Jesus was black, would you hate Jesus too?, just something to ponder.

I can't believe some people still think BHO is stealing the nomination, if anyone is going to be stealing it will be Senetor Clinton

How come we see most of the speech (es) of McCain and Clinton, but Obama only sound bites? Are you Fox in disguise? F Halbert

bla bla bla duh, bla bla bla duh, bla bla bla duh!

And there will be a lot more where that came from!

It doesn't matter how much money McCain raises.

The Democrats are so widely divided, thanks to Hillary, that McCain is going to win by default.

The comment from Beca is a perfect example of the spilt Democrat party……..by the way, how is Obama going to steal the nomination??? Such emotion trumps common sense every time.

If McCain is trying to hide the fundraising efforts by George Bush for him, think about what else he may be hiding or intends to hide once in the White House. Another Karl Rove! McCain is not running on the promises to his followers of being TRANSPARENT. John McCain and George Bush '08′ i s what I am seeing.

Beca, you're not very smart…neither are the other "democrats" who say they'll vote for McCain if Clinton loses. Clinton & Obama share the same position on almost everything, Clinton & McCain…not so much! You and people like you are either sore losers, petty individuals, and/or racists. Grow up!

Obama/Clinton '08!!! Let's unify the party!!!

Matt,

You won't find "honest reporting" on CNN. It's a secular fundamentalist, Democratic Party lapdog, as is most media today.

And look at how many of its fellow travellers on this site who can't spell, or think or read anything beyond their ignorant, narrow viewpoint.

"Billy from Florida:
I think we should all remember that Obama
out spent Hillary in several states 3 to 1
and he still lost."
—————————————————
Yes, he lost several states, but he will win the nomination. What he did by outspending her was to force her to spend money she didn't have. He was able to do so because he was better at raising money. Don't be mad at him for that.

And guess what: He's about to do the same with John McCain. Once he kisses and makes up with the Clintons, he then has the Clinton Machine to help him raise even more money, which means more commercials, more and bigger events, etc.

He'll be able to fill the Superdome, Yankee Stadium, anywhere he wants to go, while John McCain tries to drive his Straight Talk Express on $5.00 worth of gas!

Just vote Ron Paul to save America.

Interesting. I'm going to go give Obama more money now

Have no worries, Senator McCain. I will begin transfering my automatic deposits from the Hillary Clinton Campaign Committee to the McCain Campaign Committee if Hillary does not win this nomination. You will begin receiving quite a few online donations as soon as this primary is over from moderate and conservative democrats who want an experienced person in the White House.

It's easy to write Hillary's name in in November if she does not win the nomination. Check out writehillaryin.com.

Let's take a stand against the DNC and sexism that reigned throughout this primary process. The media and the DNC treated Sen. Clinton ,and indirectly all women, disgracefully. Women will not be treated like trash during the campaign season and then be told to herd up and support the nominee. Take a stand – now is the time. Don't take women for granted.

Write Hillary in in November.

he he he he he he,

I hope McCrazy doesn't raise another cent, specially since he plans on keep the Iraq slaughter going and going and going.

He needs Bush to raise money, but they got chased righ out of Phoenix fund raiser into a corporate hall in Mesa, Arizona.

If somebody insulted my family like Bush insulted McCains family, the only thing Bush would see of mine is the back of my hand as it slasps him uside his head. But no, McCain is a coward, he gave into the religious right, he gave into Bush.

If the DNC does not seat Fl and MI in some formula and Hillary ends up losing the nomination I will send money to McCain's campaign. I am sure many Hillary supporters feel the same way. I am a Mexican American and I want a president with experience and proven leadership capabilities. If you Obamites hate Bush so much just rememeber he "inspired" , he talked of "unity" and he was extremely vague about policy, just like your guy Obama.

Sen. McCain as soon as Obama is crowned my money will be going to you. It sure would be nice to have Sen. Clinton on your side as an advisor for health care and the economy.

Unless I am brain-dead, but if Hillary cannot even beat this newcomer – Obama, how can Hillary beat McCain and the Republican machine?

It is good to be a fighter, yet another one to be a "clean" fighter.

The argument about "experience" reminds me that Hillary supporters are still in the "third world" where only the experienced and the elderly rule.

American is the land of "opportunity", not experience. If we cannot give this generation the "opportunity" to have the needed experience, then what will the Future World hold for this nation?

The Republican Party is raising more cash as a party, and it's cash available for the general election that counts! The Democratic candidates themselves may have raised more cash, but the DNC has NOT. It has blown it big time with the FL and MI fiasco, and the party in general is disillusioned with the current mess! Speaking for myself, I have send hundreds to Hillary Clinton's campaign. But guess what! Whenever the DNC comes "knocking on my door," they get zip! And that's also why I will either not vote for president at all (if Obama is the nominee) or will write in Hillary's name on the November ballot. THIS ONE is for principle, not party!

Billy from Florida –

We should also remember that Hillary has 2 decades of name-recognition. Common sense should tell you that it costs more to get your message out when you're running against a former first-lady. Let's also remember the huge margin he closed in those races.

Is all good! I've never seen a President(Bush) so excited to try and help his peeps! LOL!!! I'm sure that would suit very well for Senator McCain and the Reps……..but remember, is a little secret…LOL!!!

McCain needs Bush, but he can't show us that he needs him. There's a "straight-talkin'" maverick for you. I can't wait for Obama to beat him by 100 electoral votes.

There's nothing wrong with relying on other people to do things that you can't. Even though I'd love to say there is, I can't. Although, I will say that that's at least one thing that Obama can do better than McCain.

McCain's $18 million compared to Obama's $31 million… McCain must depend on the RNC fund raising efforts to help him keep up with Obama!

Obama 08′

He can't raise the funds because his supporters don't believe in him. All those funds raised by the RNC are going for congressional and senate elections.

"Beca
May 27th, 2008 12:42 pm ET

Don't worry McCain, as soon as BHO steals the nomination from Hillary, my money will go to you, and I am sure a lot people will do the same!"

If by "steal" you mean "win fair and square by the rules agreed upon by Hillary herself and not counting a primary where only one candidate was on the ballot", then yes, he will surely "steal" the nomination.

Obama lost, AND he stole the nomination? Really? That's what you're going with?

No matter how much money they raise it's going to a losing cause. Because they know that they don't have a snowball in hell's shot at getting back in the white house.

After running this country in the ground, it's over for a long time for them. Why do you think that they TRYED to get Arnold in the game? Because they have no game or players. Time to pay for your mistakes to many to list.

Frank

HE CANNOT RAISE THE MONEY BECAUSE THE PARTY FEELS DEJECTED AND DEPRESSED. THEY SEE NO REASON TO GIVE MONEY TO A FACK CONSERVATIVE. THE LAST 8 YEARS HAVE LEFT THE PARTY FEELING ABANDONDED. THEY WILL TAKE A MCCAINE VICTORY BUT THEY DO NOT SEE WHY THEY SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.

One must remember money does not vote. People do.

Maybe it will take a McCain Presidency to shut the arrogant ,stuffy and star struck media up for 4 years.

November will make those in the media realize that their job is to report the news not try and make it. It is something that the media forget in the 2008 Presidential nomination period.

YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE OUT OF YOUR MIND TO GIVE

MCBUSH A DOLLAR. FIRST OF ALL HE DOES NOT HAVE

CHANCE IN HELL OF WINNING. SECONDLY MONEY HAS

A WAY OF DISAPPEARING AROUND HIM. REMEMBER THE

KEATING FIVE. MUCH MONEY, WHERE DID IT GO?

Yea! A what are we gonna do with him next? The guy is losing in Florida and Ohio and in some polls even losing in Penn! What is this? The Dems wants to try our faith after their dismal failure in the house and the senate after 2006. What? They've got a death wish or something?

This guy is gum stuck where it is until the next gum comes along, and not for another four years. Lose him already.Put Hillary there and let's win this things? Everybody likes a winner! Either that or i am not voting.Voted for a loser-wimp once…Kerry! Not going to ever do that again!

YES WE McCAIN!!

McSame is good with non-answers. Just wait, you'll see.

George Bush thinks the country is fine, and the tears that he fought back at Arlington Cemetery yesterday were real. He knows he damaged this country, he know it.

When you are "elected" to the Office of the President of the United States, first do no harm. George Bush harmed us, and McSame will continue to do so.

Don't worry McCain, as soon as BHO steals the nomination from Hillary, my money will go to you, and I am sure a lot people will do the same!

I love you Mr McCain but i disagree wit your stand about everything. sir.

Wow.

Blatant CNN Republican bashing.

I miss honest reporting.

I think we should all remember that Obama

out spent Hillary in several states 3 to 1

and he still lost.
