The Obama campaign has surpassed 2 million donors.
The Obama campaign has surpassed 2 million donors.

(CNN) — Barack Obama's campaign announced Thursday that it had set a new campaign fundraising record, reaching the two million donor mark with more than two months left until Election Day.

“Today we achieved something amazing — 2,000,000 donors owning a piece of this campaign,” read a message on the campaign’s Web site. “In the face of John McCain’s low road tactics, it's more important than ever to keep our movement growing and show the power of millions of grassroots supporters coming together to work for change.”

In an e-mail to supporters Monday, campaign manager David Plouffe said he hoped a backlash from a television spot from John McCain’s campaign that painted Obama as a celebrity would help the campaign reach that mark by the party's convention at the end of August, just six months after the campaign topped one million donors.

"Two million donors is an incredible number — a number that was previously unimaginable for presidential campaigns," he wrote. "And it's a number this campaign never dreamed we could reach before the convention."

Obama surpassed one million donors in late February. As of the end of June, the most recent fundraising figures available, Obama had raised nearly $340 million for his presidential bid.

And how many Eurpeans bought into what Hitler was selling? It's called a cult of personality, folks, and it's dangerous to free people… look it up.

The Obama machine continues to grow but into what? This is kind of disturbing for someone with no real experience other than being a celebrity it seems. Spooky how people will do anything for this guy. Be careful what you wish for….

How many of these "donors" live outside the USA?

Yeah, I'm proud to say that I'm a contributor. 1 in 2 million. Hopefully soon to be 1 in 3 million.

340 million and he's been running the same ad in Florida for months. It's not even good. Do a new ad, Obama. Tell me why I should vote for you because I'm a Democratic but right now you are not getting my vote.

Good for us all. We need more people. As for Hillary I think after her supporters have yell and scream as they want I hope she will be brave enough to tell them that she lost the election because of her poor campaign and tell her supporters if they were her supporters as they claim to be, to support Obama, If that is not enough for them let them do whatever they want. I'm tired of them with all their whining like babies. After the convention I hope we will not her any more voice from them.

Charlotte   August 14th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

I donated to Hillary many times and will do so again. I will never donate to Obama and if they are counting me because Obama now has my e-mail address, they are way off base. I now get E-mails from him since Hillary threw her support behind him. He never got my E-mail address until Hillary suspended her campaign. I kind of resent Obama having my E-mail address, They ask me for donations all the time, guess what, I only respond if it is from Hillary..

WOW…..

Let's hear all the OBAMA HATERS now!!! I'm sure they will exude nothing but "miserable comments" because they are so miserable themselves, they can't fathom that millions and millions and MILLIONS of voters support a man who has BEATEN all the odds and the Powerful Clinton.

NOW….. everyone keeps touting experience. Well, if that we're TRUE, Sen. McCain has had 30+ years in the Senate.

WHERE is John McCain's millions ??? Many of his own Republican party members are NOT going to his convention.

Please TELL me WHY this OLD MAN can't draw a crowd large enough to fill a stadium? He's NOT WINNING by a BIG MARGIN, based on his so-called 30+ years of experience? Experience is NOT the sole qualifications of being President. It's about voting for a President who has the BETTER JUDGEMENT and NEW & BETTER IDEAS, is POLITICALLY & TECHNICAL SAVVY, VERY INTELLIGENT and CHARISMATIC all at the same time!

-To All Hilary Supporters Who Claim to Be Voting McCain-

I say this not as an Obama supporter, not as a Democrat, but as an fellow American patriot. The stakes are too high. Our country has endured eight years of failed neoconservative policies. The result is that our economy is crippled, our infrastructure is crumbling, our schools are failing, our military is overstretched, our environment is in grave danger, and even our beloved Constitution is in jeopardy. It is a crystal clear FACT that John McCain is surrounded by the same neoconservatives as our President. It is quite clear that John McCain intends to carry on the same failed policies we have seen over the last eight years. This is no campaign catchphrase- this is the cold, hard, and dangerous truth. For the sake of both future generations who are counting on us to make the right decision and past generations who fought and died for us to have a decision, put away your pride, put away your resentments against Barack Obama, put away whatever it is that is blinding your rationality and come to terms with the fact that Sen. Obama is the better of the only two choices we have at this critical moment in time.

ANGIE   August 14th, 2008 2:02 pm ET

Never in my life have I supported a candidate as I have Senator Obama. I will continue to give every payday until he is our President. Thank You Senator Obama, and I pray that GOD continues to BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!

tammy   August 14th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

I had considered leaving the Dem. party altogether. But, I've had time to think about it. I am upset but mostly with elected Dems. (There are some name calling dems that I don't like to well either, but they are not in a position to affect my life.) Therefore, I believe that not electing or supporting a different candidate would be the best way to get my party back. Edwards isn't the only elected (or previously elected) who is/has been power tripping. Mrs. Pelosi must have forgotten that she is also elected. If not, why bash party supporters who disagree with your position? We are not clones in the dem. party. We are individuals who come together regarding some principles. We don't agree on everything. But, after Gore, I thought we all agreed on fairness. Has being beaten by Bush caused our party to start playing the same/ or similar dirty tricks to win? You can't bash a side for behaving badly when you are doing the same thing. Don't question my support for the party just because I don't agree with you on all things and about all people. Don't criticize and try to debase me became my viewpoint isn't the same as your own. Don't try to tell me how to feel and how to act(like I am a child with no rights and no say in the matter). Finally, people change parties all of the time. Dem. Senator Webb (from VA) was a Republican. He switched parties. Remember, it was his seat that gave Dems control of the senate in the first place. Again, please remember, the Democratic Party is made up of people who are called anywhere from extreme left to centralist. We don't have to all have to believe in one person especially when another person, that some of us feel is more qualified, is available and willing to run the country. Don't turn away your members. Remember, house and senate races still have to be won. Furthermore, the next president has not been elected yet.

Go Obama!   August 14th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

I, too, and one of the 2 million. What a day it will be when those 2 million people line Pennsylvania Ave to watch his motorcade to the White House!

Matt: but remember, the total population also includes tens of millions of people who cannot vote, e.g., children, etc. The percentage would be higher; however, I agree that 2 million out of the total number of people who will be voting is a pretty small percentage.

It's a good story for Obama, though. I'm happy.

Oh, and Tammie from Cleveland: you are a disgrace to the human race.

At least McCain hasn't played the RACE card like Obama has, time and time and time and time again.

Obama's tactics are lower than McCain's or Hillary's.

MIKE,

McCain has played every card he had, but guess what he still holding
the joker that he is!!!

JImmy in California   August 14th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

I am proud also to be one of the 2,000,000 contributors but I am appalled at the fact that the Obama campaign has weakened and given in to the Clinton campaign to allow her name to be placed for nomination. I do not think this is going to be pretty at all and I suspect that Hillary will stop at nothing to get the nomination. I was one of her supporters until the night when she should have been giving congratulations to Senator Obama but instead she asked "WHAT DOES HILLARY WANT?" The night she did that I lost all respect for her and began to contribute to the Obama campaign. I could not contribute to retire her debt because Penn is one of her creditors and he is one of the people responsible for her defeat

OBAMA 08

ProudDemocrat   August 14th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

From Factcheck

McCain released three new ads with multiple false and misleading claims about Obama's tax proposals.

A TV spot claims Obama once voted for a tax increase "on people making just $42,000 a year." That's true for a single taxpayer, who would have seen a tax increase of $15 for the year – if the measure had been enacted. But the ad shows a woman with two children, and as a single mother, she would not have been affected unless she made more than $62,150. The increase that Obama once supported as part of a Democratic budget bill is not part of his current tax plan anyway.

AThese ads continue what's become a pattern of misrepresentation by the McCain campaign about his opponent's tax proposals.

I'm one of them.

Also an Iraq war vet.

"He may be getting alot of donations but regardless of what happens at the convention I am voting for Mccain unless Clinton is on the ticket."

What has Clinton done to get her on the ticket? She had no control over her campaign staff, no control over the messages her campaign was putting out, and she ran her campaign $20 million into debt.

For everybody who says they will only vote for Obama if Clinton is on the ticket, or who says that since Clinton isn't the nominee they will vote for McCain, what has Hillary Clinton done that Obama has not done that makes you want to vote for her? She was unable to run her campaign well at all, she does not have executive experience, and she really hasn't been that great of a Senator. So what qualifies her to lead?

- what speeches has he given using his own written words? For that matter, what questions has he taken unprepared and provided sound answers?
- DUHH, did you watch any of the debates? He lost bigtime.. uninformed idiot.

So, wake up and know why you are voting for him.

I want no part of it and we are a broke nation, in spirit and finnacially. We need HOPE and that is what Obama is selling and I'm buying!!!! Go Obama

Well, they won't reach it with my help. I strongly supported Hillary with my vote and money, but now both are going to McCain.

I wouldn't vote Obama for dog catcher, let alone president. He is totally unqualified to lead our country. Obama is totally lacking in experience, character and judgment……like a mere 143 days in the Senate, and choosing as*sociates like Wright, Rezko, Auchi, Ayers, Alinsky and more.

NOBAMA!

John McCain hates american products. He is opposed to buying american made products. He is opposed to american jobs and gives tax breaks to send our jobs overseas to places like his birth country PANAMA. He has lost two planes and will lose the election too. PANAMA MAC would lose our economy but he does not care cause he was born rich and married richer.

I don't think Obama can save our country from this descent down the tubes that we are on, no one man can, but under the leadership of McCain and the GOP, this country will become dust, no doubt. Its time we, as Americans, realize what century we are in and step up to the plate and stop falling for the hate and backwards thinking of the wacky right. Electing Obama is only a small start.

Obama 08 and proud!

Not much talk about where all of these donors are from is there! It is refreshing to know that when NObama is defeated that the majority of money donated will not have come from Americans. I wonder if he will give any of what is left to Hillary?

Now can we please hear about his public achievements, things that help hard working Americans ?
Oh, is he too busy protecting criminals, demilitarizing America, late term abortion and church and state. Why did you not focus on improving security in Chicago, so parents can trust that they will not be called in the afternoon by the mortuary. Being a liberal does not mean you can lose focus of reality. Why is money going to churches, are they being held accountable for the results of this public money.
Why are you focused on demilitarizing America, when our soldiers are dying. Late term abortion should be illegal, and this is by someone who is pro choice. We do not disagree on 10 %, the % is much, much higher.

Welcome to the Future of Politics

james   August 14th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

tshirt sales are campaign contributions ? please, quit trying to minimize the fact that this campaign has the regular people on its side and they are getting ready to take back the country for us. Do you think someone wants a t-shirt that's not an Obama supporter? (unless you're one of those who would hang something in effigy)

Rob in NY   August 14th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

Look at where the bulk of dollars is coming from : lobbyists, corporations, etc. It doesn't matter how many itty bitty donors you have : Obama gets his campaign cash from the same places the Republicans do.

I guess that breaking your word on campaign financing has its advantages. Wonder what other promises he's willing to go back on.

I hate Bush as much as anybody, but I'm not voting for Obama just because I'm frustrated and angry at Bush.

I am one of the proud 2 million people who gave the Senator Obama's campaign. I am a widowed, white, middle-aged woman that works hard for every dollar I earn. I make less that $35,000/year. I am not an elitst, I am not a mindless fan of Senator Obama (that designation should go to the McCainiacs who believe in the perpetuation of the Republican theory of Idiotocracy). I strongly believe in voting for my own best economic interests. I believe in protecting my right, and those of others who may come after me, to freedom of choice. So to you bloggers who make snide remarks about those of us who have hope for the future and believe in better days ahead, "Go to he!!".

Can you imagine the lesson being taught to their children that if you stamp your feet and scream loud and long enough you will win your tantrum. I hope the CLINTON CLAN will be shamed in this requested "historical moment" and that the DNC will close on Aug. 28 and the election Nov. 4th will be THE HISTORICAL MOMENT for the U.S.A.and for Sen. Barack Obama.

pb   August 14th, 2008 1:02 pm ET

Since the comment section of the "Hillary on the nomination roll call," is closed I am leaving my comments here.. This is outrageous what the Clintons and DNC are doing. If Clinton won the nomination, would Obama's supporters demand that his name is on the ballot? Heck, NO! This is the worst scenario of racism that I have ever experienced. BACKSTABBING, RUTHLESS and UNDERMINING. She ran a horrible campaign…she lost. How disrespectful can one be to Obama?
I am proud to say my donations have supported Obams's campaign.
God is with you Barack. When this roll call is over, will Hillary's "witches" be satisfied? I wonder….

Raymond Duke   August 14th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

Are you really that silly to think that Hillary Clinton would be ripped apart by the republicans more than Obama. The republicans knew that if Hillary Clinton won the nomination of the democrat party she would win by a landslide. That is the reason that republican pundits started out saying how good Obama was. The republicans played the democrats to nominate their weakest canidate. They knew that Pelosi was so jealous of Clinton that she could get her far left democrats to put the nail in her coffin along with Reed and fat Ted . Why do you think the polls are so close now. By the way you don;t really believe that the republicans don't have the goods on the "BLACK MESSIAH" do you. The 527's are going to put out the truth whether McCain likes it or not. After the conventions the fun starts.

I agree with you…the MSM always seem to have Senator McCain as old, having senior moments, etc. and the can do no wrong Obama is shown "shooting hoops", riding bicycles, etc. Talk about biased.

I am not a McCain supporter. I'm actually rooting for Hillary and I hope she gets the nomination. Otherwise I may start looking much closer at Senator McCain.

You know what is a turn-off, it is how Obama supporters are so mean and nasty. Name calling (i.e. McSenile, McBush). That is "change we can believe in"….not in my book. I am tried of Obama supporters putting down those over 50 (baby boomer generation). Do you have any idea how many people you are insulting?

We are all Soldiers and Officers in the Military, get with the Program and we all previously voted for Bush, but he like McCain say exactly waht we wanted to hear and truly did nothing. In the Army we choose leaders base on Judgement, OBAMA yes he is truly "THE ONE", at least McBush got that right, OBAMA IS THE ONE!

Tammie from Cleveland, your comment is appalling. It's unfortunate that your world-view is misguided and ill-perceived.

curly   August 14th, 2008 12:54 pm ET

Obama keeps claiming huge number of donors. But where is the support in the polls. His supporters claim that young people are not reached by the pollsters. They said the same thing in 2004 about Kerry and the young vote, it didn't show up in the polls or on election day.

Something is not right here folks. He bearly beat Hillary in the popular primary vote and has a very slim lead over McCain in the polls. He brings in millions more than either Hillary or McCain in donations, from supposed vast numbers of small donations. Where is the support in the polls? The primary was actual votes, not a poll. Where was the overwhelming difference in the primary vote? Do his doners give him money but don't vote for him?

This does not add up. I smell something rotten here.

Peter of Oregon   August 14th, 2008 12:54 pm ET

I could really care less how many donors he reaches as long as he does not win the president race. I was wanting to comment on the one with Hillary Clintons name being on the roll call as long as she understood that it was just to be symbolic and that all the super delegates would have to vote for Obama. What a joke. I use to be a democrat a long time ago. Cheating and symbolic B.S. like this from the democrats is why I became a indepedent. I can vote for who I want to that I think is the most qualified and I can punish crap like this going on with the democrat party. That is the reason that all people should be independents. You don't have to be a slave to either party.

McCain has said NUMEROUS times he does not support the gay lifestyle, also saying he does not stand for gay adoption, even if it means the child stays in an orphanage instead of getting a family who loves him/her.

Remember that high school, when McCain stated "No, I don not support gay marriage and civil unions." And the kid, to his credit, said "I came here looking to see a leader. I DON'T."

Face it. McCain's first option whenever there is a problem around the world is war and force. So why does that give him an "edge" in "foreign policy" over Obama? It's ridiculous!!

Good work Obama–you tipped the scale.

One thing is clear about our "in-touch", "connected", "savvy" generation of youthful voters–they no longer require a candidate to demostrate: consistency, factual information/data, and possess a legacy related to their agenda in order to become President.

In no other society in our worlds history–have so many lost sight of their own heritage, and willingly forfeited up their rights to liberty and property for a higher cause than themselves. Let's hope Obama and those who come after him will protect those rights.

I think Republicans have got to lay off the experience arguement. It is foolish and shows an ignorance of history. How much experience did Lincoln have? One term in Congress… What made him the nominee? Speeches. And that's only one example of how "experience" really doesn't matter.

TerryDo--Puma +40   August 14th, 2008 12:47 pm ET

"Hillary said her voters need to be “heard,” whatever that means."

What that means is basically their was a tie and like in any sport, whenever their is a tie, and you need a definite winner, you have a play off.

Thus Senator Clinton’s name placed in Nomination in the First Roll Call is equivalent to a play-off.

If the delegates have a closed vote and Hillary wins then the true voices of Americans will have been heard and if she loses the same answer applies. We need this final game!

It is not about having the last laugh; this is serious business we are voting for the next President, the leader of a country that is look upon as the most powerful country on earth.

There are wars erupting constantly, the economy is in disarray and the dependence of oil with countries that are fundamentally opposed to America is ludicrous, especially when we have more than enough oil to supply the world.

WAKE UP AMERICA. WE NEED A LEADER OF SUBSTANCE, INTELLIGENCE A LEADER WITH SOLUTIONS, A LEADER WITH EXPERIENCE, AND A LEADER WHO HAS THE BEST MENTOR (EX-PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON) AND WHO IS CAPABLE OF LEADING ON DAY ONE!!

OUR FUTURE PRESDIENT HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON,

I think it is wonderful that Senator Obama has made it to the 2 million mark and am looking forward to this number going even higher. I hope that his going along with Senator Clinton's name be placed in nomination for party unity does not backfire on him. I don't trust the Clintons and am sure that some of the delegates owe the Clintons favors from back in their hayday. I sure hope that the delegates are smarter than that and know that if they give it to Senator Clinton it is a guaranteed win for Senator Clinton and you will see Anybody But Hilliary campaigns launched in 2012 to make sure that she does not win.

not be bullied or coerced to vote for Obama. Will the Super delegates vote as their State voted? Those are the questions we as voters need to have answered. Transparency is important for a Democracy.

I am proud to be one of the 2 milion strong! I have given my $25 to help support our next POTUS! I even have my wife(republican) voting for her, she is sick and tired of the McShame/Bush reign - time for something new. I even have my 2 daughters(8 and 7) going to help at the local office and march in the parades. We are Fired Up and Ready to go!

Thank you to all the republicans and PUMA's that motivated me to donate again when I was having second thoughts due to the economic crunch! I'm glad I donated!
