The same people who whine about not being able to keep their house or buy groceries are sending both clowns money every month. With the Internet as prevalent and the media giving the candidates all sorts of free press, (Obama may sponsor NASCAR, McCain and Viagra or Czechoslovakia), you would think the campaigns wouldn't need to spend so much.

The three Presidential candidates, Senator Clinton, Senator Obama, and Senator McCain, by the close of March had raised a combined total of over $500 Million to spend to get a job that pays $400 Thousand a year. If you add in the amounts raised by the candidates that have dropped out of the race, the total rises to over $800 Million raised. It's almost mind boggling to consider anyone spending that much money to get a job. It would be like you spending $50 to $80 Million to get a job that pays $40,000 per year. Or, spending $500,000 to promote a program or rally and only raising $400. Why would anyone spend that much money for a job? One word, POWER! Power is the only thing that is sought after, by some, more than they seek God, money or love. Everything they're saying in their campaign speeches will never happen anyway, it's senseless to spend that kind of money for someone to LIE to you. WHY DO WE DO SUCH STUPID THINGS.

If all Barack supporters, previously not registered and or Republicans and Independents, were counted, the numbers in the polls and demonstration of his actual lead against Mcinsane would be more accurate. Let's keep giving in effort to make up for those Hillraisers who don't and won't support the next POTUS. Donate to the Victory fund and we can be sure that Billary does not get any of the dosh we send in. Let her Hillraisers pay her debt off with the money that they won't send to Barack.

This sounds to me like his campagin is being run by the people for the people. Special interest groups can't hold anything over him like they can McCain. It's funny to me how what Obama said about the war and his plan to end it. McCain says it was due to his inexperience and look what Bush is doing now seems to me Obama had the right idea. If this had been done before may we would not have lost over 4000 lives. Sending another donation today and will until he is elected President of USA.

I was very disappointed with the DNC for even changing the rules in the middle of a contest. If it were to have been done in a country like Nigeria or Zimbabuwe, CNN would have made a lot of noise about it. Why didnt Hillary and her supporteds voice thier opposition before the IOWA elections but wait untill she has lost and the DNC bent bacwards to support her.

This is proven over and over on a worldwide basis. Oh sure, it sounds sweet on paper, but it punishes people for excelling and promotes mediocrity. Capitalism and free markets work best; no one ever got a job from a poor person, and strong companies hire more people. Anyway, thanks for helping confirm that Obama is a Socialist, or possibly a Communist. JB,

It also shows how much the average American is giving to him in their own ($50 here, $25 there, etc.). I'd like to see what he does with any money remaining, which is highly unlikely. I would be disgusted if he funneled any of that money into anything other then the current credit and housing struggles that are hitting these same every day Americans so hard.

I have all the respect in the world for both candidates for different reasons except for the flip flops by both. While McCain has his eastern Europe issues, Obama stated he has visited 57 states. They are about equal on gaffes as far as I can tell. I am waiting for debates, I was not real impressed with Obama against Hillary in the debates. It seems right now that his speech writers are doing a great job. Bottom line, the debates will be interesting.

One more thing–The Capital Gains tax which affects everyone with any sort of retirement account he wants to raise to 34% EVENTUALLY
That's just one area you'll pay-
He talks about change-
The only change you will have is what's left in your pocket-
With the economy the way it is - to tax further will only put us deeper in the hole-
But you probably will not understand until you don't have a job and then need a program to help you paid for by people like me–
