I really appreciate and love all the Obama supporters. Do you realize we're fighting a 3 front battle. McCain, Puma's, Current Admin.

Do you think the lobbyists and corporations will miss their money?

Your best is Obama's worst, but it if makes you feel good gramps.

Let's see: 2 million REGULAR, EVERYDAY, HARDWORKING AMERICAN PEOPLE who make less than $250,000 decide to give an average of about $25 to Obama. And John McCain gets some $27 Million after overtly (for some of you narrow-minded people it means Purposely, right in your face) Lobbying for Nuclear Power Plants and Off-shore drilling with no sign of mentioning "Responsible Development" of either. Our 2 million Trumps your $27 million any day. And ah, for the Hillary Supporters, I think Hillary is great and made history. But it's like an old song, "A Change is gonna Come- -Oh yes it is". And for the people that forget- -History was made By Obama too! With his 18 Million PLUS Voters!

Why can't we all just get along?

As a lifelong Republican I'M VOTING FOR OBAMA. McCain is too scary and tied too much to lobbyists. And yes he has accepted earmarks despite his outright lies otherwise. Look it up. It's not hard to find out. ExxonJohn should never be trusted with the Whitehouse. Go OBAMA!

Obama's campaign just topped 2,000,000 unique donors.

This is a campaign powered by the people.

That is .66% of the population of the US, and 1.6% of registered Democrats (working from the numbers given by the Democratic Party for the number of Registered Democrats in America)

This does not seem to be "powered by the people"
Especially since .65% of the population of the US are Millionaires...

I better make my donation before it's too late. Remember, McCain kept his word with respect to relying on public financing and Obama didn't.

Stopped giving money to campaigns...

Am buying "The Obama Nation" this weekend... good read I hear... nice insight on Barry... should be a best seller.

Was in Washington for 26 years and is pulling only 26 million?
McLooser.

AWESOME!!! For you Obama air heads – at least McCain does not have to rely on a guy like Tony Resko for money!!!!

McCain 08

This Lifelong Democrat will NEVER send money to the Democratic Party that destroyed Democracy again.

All my money now goes to McCain!

Proud McCain Democrat!

McCain 08

Did someone just say that Obama flip flops and McCain doesnt?! They all do.

McCain changed his mind on Offshore Drilling (he was against it for over 15 year).

McCain changed his mind on Immigration reform in order to win his parties support.

McCain changed his mind on the corrupt and un-christian Christian Coalition that he once attacked and now is buddy buddy with.

Over 60% of soldiers who donated to a presidential candidate donated to Obama. Rather than be here in the good ol' USA and decide who has the best ideas for foreign policy, try going out there. Ask THOSE guys, and they are supporting Obama.

McCain has openly admitted he knows nothing about the Economy. He fired his top Economic advisor (because the guy is a jerk).

A President is who they surround themselves with, not just the guy running. McCain is surrounding himself with crooks and lobbyists. Even if you like him, his entire cabinet will be crooks.

Obama is HARDLY a liberal. He is against gay Marriage and thinks Democrats should be more open about religion to name a few.

He is a Moderate leaning left. With big ideas and he doesn't play the negative campaign that is the only reason McCain is still alive in the poles.

Firefighters for Obama!

Well he did work one weekend this month so thats gotta count for something right?

Wouldn't be surpised if Obama also breaks all records these past months as well. The McCain false attack ads are serving to mobilize the donors on the Dems side.

Doesn't matter though, when Johnny takes the public financing he'll be stuck with hard fiancial limits. Obama on the other hand is not taking taxpayer's money but rather accepting donations from those willing to give and will have far more to fight the smears.

Just look and see what happens to all those 'GOP strongholds' come Nov. Alaska is already polling as leaning blue along with a few other states. Check it out yourself if you don't belive me.

In John McCain's 26 years in office, what has the man accomplished? He's had years to push legislation for all these things he's promising, but only now when he needs votes he says he'll do it. It seems he has no plans other than to fly a plane full of money and drop it on Iraq.

mccain 2008.

good for him

mccain 2008

Oh, but the Messiah keeps getting money from those on welfare, Hamas, Hezzbolah, and others. Glad to see my tax dollars are paying for somes food (food stamps) and now they can donate their free money to someone who will give them more. Huge shocker I know.

i heard obama got 700,000 plus from oil shouldnt he give it back to them ?

how much did charles keating contribute?

So if obama is connected to the little guy and the little guy is going broke just where in the heck is obama getting all HIS money. I think it is time CREW asked the government to do a thorough search of just where obama's money is coming from. Of course we all know Chicago gangster rezko and Iraqi gangster auchi financed his State and Federal runs for the senate. The press did report on that and obama SAYS he returned the money.

Wow...it really takes alot of "work" to ask your rich, ex-mistress for campaign funds (as well as use of the private jet)......good job mccain!

Anyone dumb enough to send this guy money is a few cards short of a full deck themselves......like the Bible says:

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Wow the Obama supporters and McCain haters take every advantage to attack him- even in a fundrasising blog-

Its obvious that Obama uses lobyists unless all his supporters are freaking rich.

Folks

You really need to read this article.........Cindy McCain sells off $2 million of (oil related) SUDANESE MUTUAL FUNDS!

This is the same CINDY McCAIN, WHOSE HUSBAND JOHN McCAIN, WAS PUSHING FOR SANCTIONS AGAINST SUDAN................With the discovery of the McCain's SUDANESE OIL RELATED INVESTMENT.... they said that they WERE NOT AWARE OF THIS CONNECTION!

I think what really happened.......they were found out.... and therefore had no alternative than to sell off. God only knows just WHAT OTHER QUESTIONABLE INVESTMENTS ETC. ARE HIDDEN IN CINDY'S TAX RETURNS!

democrats throw old people under the bus , you say old people give you the creeps do you treat your grandpa this way, young people are so cruel ,i feel sorry for you i respect my elders we all will be old one day you should be ashamed

military personell dotating 6-1 for obama.where is that ticker cnn??

That money will buy a lot of cheap Chinese made gadgets

i.e. cheapo tire gauges.

Way to spend your money wisely--not!

My friends, that elitist, Big Oil, Americans making over $250,000 a year money put McCain over the top relative to his previous month.

Let me give you some straight talk, he's got nothing on a Barack Obama campaign funded by the people, for the people and of the people of the United States of America.

In America, it takes more money to sell a socialist candadate...

Tired of W, OH: "Lifelong Democrat", if you're scared of Obama and not McCain you could obviously use your money for a wiser purpose than donating. Therapy payments come to mind.
–
Personally, I'm glad to see there are Democrats who can see what is plainly obvious. Obama would destroy this country. He is a candidate to be feared.

Anyone who votes for Obama clearly hates the United States. Socialism is NOT the answer, people!!

While the number is good for him I'm thinking it's to low. When I say that I'm thinking they are up to something. Look at how much his party is putting in the bank. They are about to do a double dip in front of all of us.

While he has accepted public financing he knows there is no need to pull in big dollars. So what I see going on is the party is hauling in tons right now, if you look you will see it too.

Yes he will use this money as if it was his, with the public financing!

We need to keep our eyes open to all.

This isn't the smart candidate. Let's pick the smart guy this time america

Maybe McCain can use your $20.44 to shine his $500 loafers.

Good for McCain. Obama money come from his midle east body. If not HRC - go for McCain

I'm predicting 60 million for O' this month

McCain is a testament to the power of special interests.

Wears $520 Italian shoes and calls Obama an elitist.

McCain, I can't hear your words your actions are speaking so loudly.

You go McCain. If Obama does not put Clinton on as VP, he is going to loose., He can bring in twice as much as McCain, but it won't help
in the election.

Obama/Clinton 08

LIFELONG DEMOCRAT, YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY A LIFELONG DUMBY. YOU ARE AFRAID OF A MIDDLE NAME(YOU WOULD NOT HAVE MENTIONED IT OTHERWISE), WHICH IS ABOUT AS SILLY AS YOU CAN GET. PAY ATTENTION TO THE ACTUAL ISSUES AND YOU WOULD VOTE DEMOCRATIC, IF YOU ARE IN FACT A TRUE DEM.

Those Packs and lobbiests and special interests sure do have a lot of money to burn. I guess those are the fortunate people Phil Gramm was talking about when he called the rest of us WHINNERS!!!!

Sorry, but I already know John McCain will win this election, This guy will make USA implode itself. I'm here on vacation now, but, seriously, I'm planning to move to Europe should John MiniMe hit the Oval Office come November... Jeeez! I wouldn't trust my grocery list to this man, why would I trust him my country, then? A man with no guts(dumped his former wife right after he realized she was disfigured, married a younger rich woman just after divorcing), with no honor(SongBird, anyone?) and no platform(he says one thing today, then he doesn't even remember having said that)!

I feel deeply sorry for all of you, my fellows Americans, because you're next to be set backwards in history. What I see is that China will be the next best country in the world(well, at least economically...) and USA will just be an angry old country which couldn't see the truth even when it was sitting all the time in front of you!

John Sidney McCain will be worser than G.W. Bush!!!!!!!!!! He's thirsty for blood and he'll start WWIII. You'll need to be strong and fearless should you elect John McCain, because he'll send your kids to die to Iran, Afghanistan, Russia, The Koreas and any other country which puts right in his way.

If so-called Democrats are giving McCain money for his campaign, then they must have loved the path our country has been on over the last 8 years.

Idiots!

Lets hope that the people will win this thime. The one that support Obama with small money, and not the most rich and wealthy that support McCain. While McCain get most of his money from the few, a lot of people support Obama so he can take back US to the people.

Only one thing is worse than the last 8 yrs. of Bush--the next 4 yrs. of Mccain.He will fight wars to profit the rich invested in the military-industrial complex (you are stuck with the bill). Mccain will allow big oil to profit at the expense of the environment. Big corporations will be allowed to keep wages down,cut cost for health care anf retirement benefitsfor ordinary workers but not for management. Wake up Americans and do the right thing!!!!

Thanks to big oil Mcsame. Obama08

I wonder if McCain's buddy, Saakashvili, will continue to take bad advice from McCain regarding Russia's probable response to a Georgia's actions towards Ossetia's pro-russian citizens? You don't think McCain, Leiberman and Saakashvili tried to create the "crisis in foreign policy", predicted by Liberman, to show McCain's adroit foreign policy ability, do you? Well, it did not work and thank God! McCain and the Repubs are lunitics, and will do anything to maintain control over the country so as to benefit the rich and powerful. McCain and his followers are stuck in a past that existed only in the recesses of their antiquated mind..

Hey Mikey he likes it ( I mean the Koolaid of course). They are comparing about 160 donors. Thats what you hold on to as a whopping 6 to 1 show for Obama. Whooooo run with it man. The truth is your slip sliding awayyyyyyyy. Ahhhhh , and the koolaid was so tasty too.

Among soldiers serving overseas at the time of their donations, 134 gave a total of $60,642 to Obama while 26 gave a total of $10,665 to McCain.

Exxon-John seems to be behind in fundraising donations. Would it have to do with the price of oil decreasing?

Will Romney's name be added to the names of nominees at the Republican Convention? He finished second, just like Clinton, right, so by the same logic, his name should be added as well. Right?

THEY call that record breaking? It's NOT even laughable.

Wow...... that's pennies compared to what Obama is gonna bring in!!

It is nearly September and we have yet to have a debate between these 2 men. Obama can get all the fame and money he wants, it will not amount to a hill of beans once the debates show Obama does not have anything of substance.

HRC crushed Obama in debates
McCain crushed his opp. in debates
Mcain will crush Obama in debates and the GE

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I'M PROUD TO BE A SUPPORTER OF BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA…

NEVER MCCAIN…..(2) I put the number 2 because I second "White woman for Obama". Come on our fellow Obama supporter, cut and paste the comment and add 1 to increase the numbers.

CNN Please post.

Dear Sir: Economic disaster is getting a balance budget, regular payments to the debt, and turning the economy to a whooping TEN TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT & OVER 600 BILLION DOLLAR SKYROKETING DEFICIT. That has been the result of the Bush Admistration Sir.. And you sir want to ignore reality, and continue the disastrous policies of the bush Administration. Every single time a Republican administration has been in government, it has increased the debt, and has left taxpayers with excruciating deficits. Is well known that “R” in “Republican” stands for recession.

You are in no position to call anybody an economic disaster.

But I guess there are fools on this country that don’t see that..

The funny part is John McSame's money comes from big oil CEOs who will have a say in his administration. Obama's money comes from individuals who want someone other than a slimy old republican't in the office. Offshore oil drilling??!! You shouldn't have a say in this decision unless you're from one of the states they're talking about drilling in. If you're from central America... SHUT IT, your opinion doesn't matter.

Obama 08 cause Johnny boy is too old, too out of touch and his daughter is a portly little pudge ball and who wants that eating all the food in the white house?

As I intend to vote McCain becuase I do not know what Obama stands for anymore (even though I voted for him in the primary!), I have started to contribute last month. Small numbers, but it all adds up.

GO JOHN!!!!!!

Obama and his supporters are just trying to throw money at this election. Like the old commercial asked' "Where's the beef?"

Obama learned a great deal from Rev Wright- namely, speak in an inspirational manner and the herd wont hear the words. Obama talks of CHANGE- rapid change is REVOLUTION.

I am so happy he has found money for his General Election campaign, but isn't he the holier than thou candidate that is taking Public Financing? Oh wait, he is the one that has been spending all his "primary" money on a G.E. campaign for 6 months. These stories make me laugh . . . November 4 can not come soon enough!!!

What i do not understand is how people can elect a president (Obama) if he will not even acknowledge our flag, or place his hand over his heart while the national anthem plays. He refuses to wear anything resembling America. His wife is proud to be an American ONLY after her husband (baby daddy as she likes to call him) has been elected for the Democratic nomination.

NAME ONE ACCOMPLISHMENT he has done in his couple of years in the Senate? That's right no one can.

I am not saying McCain is any better, but how can a American want a president that will not even acknowlege our flag or say the National Anthem?

Way to go CNN.........ZAP, ZAP, ZAP.......................

Obama pulled in $52 mil. versus McCain's $21 mil. That pretty much says it all.... but the fact that I've seen hundreds of Obama yard signs and not one McCain sign speaks pretty loudly as well.

Yes indeed. The huge Corporations would rather donate Millions to McBush then pay their fair share of taxes. McLame calls Obama the 'Taxman'. The last time the Corporations were required to pay taxes (before Bush ), we had low unemployment and a balanced budget . Now under Bush / McBush, the Corporations get a free ride and we are a Trillion Dollars in debt with a ruined economy. Why am I not afraid of the 'Taxman'?

the dnc needs to decide do they want to win or are they going to contuine to let the person that lost the primary bully and run the party.
so dnc do you what to win or just have a historic campaign.
dont care if your a dem. or rep. nobody likes a loser

Once McCain's hateful right-wing base finds out he took 2300 dollars from the owner of a gay sex website, they will stay at home on election day...while the tolerant majority of America is going to come out and vote for change on election day.

All keating aside. That's a lot of money John. You did the right thing In Bev of going the Obama way. This ones for you. Say hello to Joe for me. Oh, while you're at it, how about a shout out to Mr. Reed.

I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that he wants offshore drilling.

Pandering Express '08

Lifelong Democrat said " am scared of Barack Hussein Obama."

oooooooooo we are sooooo scared of Obama's Middle name!

$ 27 million? ....thats only 5.6 million more than June's numbers. Those numbers pretty low compared to what Obama has been able to raise.

I was hoping John ' i left my crippled first wife' McCain would raise more money.

It is nice to see that the lobbyists are opening their wallets to McCain. We need more special interest control in Washington! However, what they haven't quite grasp that the normal thinking Americans are sick of them controlling our government and using "scare tactics" to appeal to the lowest common denominator of people. The majority will rule in favor of Obama! I can't wait for November 4, when they are sent out of Washington for good!!

Well lets see what the mighty OB reports. He's drawing from 57 states you know. Keep riding that unicorn Barry and take them delusional sheep with you!!

It is so funny. Reading these post and people are trying to convince themselves McCain is the best candidate. His own mother said they will just have to hold their nose and vote for him. LOL! Even she knows he stinks!

I can't wait for McCain to pick Tom Ridge for his running mate. The stunned silence at the GOP Convention will be deafening!! Ridge's Pro-Choice stance will really bring the Religious Radical Right alive, all right!!

McCain is just another Bob Dole... an empty suit with lots of mothballs in the pockets. Hard to believe he's raised as much money as he has... after that presumptious display of vested interest he has in Georgia. After his response to Russia... you people STILL want to elect him POTUS??? He'll start a war with them. WAKE UP, AMERICA!!!

reagan dem you senile like yr granpa. you r a gop end of story.

"Lifelong Democrat", if you're scared of Obama and not McCain you could obviously use your money for a wiser purpose than donating. Therapy payments come to mind.

Hey Matt...I would love to "read up" on the platforms of both candidates. I can do that with Obama since his platform is clearly written and available. But McCain? Pretty hard to tell what he stands for as he has no "platform" nor does he put forth any plans for America other than being in Iraq for 100 years. All he can do is tear down Obama. The debates should be interesting.....

Go Obama...we need a new direction in this country...one that is geared towards the American people and not war(s).

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I'M PROUD TO BE A SUPPORTER OF BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA...

NEVER MCCAIN.....

And $20 million of these funds is PAC money and Lobbyist

OLD MAN JOHN McCAIN ACTUALLY IS RAISING MONEY FOR HIS RETIREMENT AND NOT FOR HIS ELECTION CAMPAIGN.
THIS OLD MAN KNOWS THAT HE IS NOT GOING TO BE ELECTED, SO THE BEST WAY TO RETIRE RICH WITHOUT CINDY, OF COURSE, TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS CAMPAIGN FUND RAISING OPPORTUNITY. AFTER ALL OLD MAN JOHN McCAIN IS ONE OF THE GREATEST OPPORTUNIST NEXT TO DISASTER GEORGE BUSH, HEY !
BRING BACK OUR GI'S, OUR HEROES AND OUR BOYS AND GIRLS FROM IRAQ.
GOD SAVE AMERICA AND OUR MILITARY FORCES.

To mickey,

you are absolutely right. My son, who is in the Navy, tells me that he will vote for Sen Obama and a lots of his buddies will to.

At first, because all naval recreation facilities had their tvs tuned to FOXnews, they were kind of leery about Sen Obama. I personally asked my son to start listening to real news like CNN and headline news, anderson cooper, etc. because they were being filled with lies and missrepresentations on faux news. My son says now the tv is tuned on cnn in his area. Cnn is not perfect, but anything is better than fox.

Good job people and congratulations to McCain! My $100.00 drop in the bucket is in there too.

McCain 08! McCain all the way!

Matt:
You must not be watching your candidate talk. He has no chance in a debate with anyone beyond a 5th grader.

I have that he is planning to give up before the debates start.

OBAMA '08

McCain is the most negative underhanded politition around.
What has he done in the last 26 years to warrant giving him a dime?
Money would be better spent bing used to light camp fires.

Folks,

Has anyone noticed how John McCain's skin tone looks quite pallid and almost yellow? This is usually a sign of some kind of illness.

Maybe it is just my observation being a bit off.

Reed and other lobbyist are very generous to McCain and McCain if elected will be more than generous to them at Americas taxpayers expense.

I bet Barack raised twice as much as McLame in July

Where is all this "money, spent on a lost cause"; coming from? Don't they know, the Repulicans will not win this election. It will be ither Obama or Hillary Clinton, if her bitter supporters can pull off a last minute miracle; in the White House, not John McCain in 2009.........

Lifelong Democrat,
I am sure you are scared of the man's color. You Bigot! Go and crawl back in the hole you came from. This country is ashamed of you

"John McCain’s campaign said Friday that he raised $27 million in July – his best monthly fundraising haul yet."..."Barack Obama’s campaign has not yet announced its fundraising total for the month of July. The campaign has reported it pulled in roughly $52 million in donations in June." So John McCain raises highest fundraising total is half as much as an average month for Obama. Yep he sure is gaining ground! Still waiting for someone to give a compelling reason to vote for McCain that doesn't somehow disparage Obama or Democrats. McCain has no merits to speak of.

you nailed it, matt. These Obamaniansreally aren't thinking. They will four years from now if he wins. When their taxes have gone up, When the rest of the industrialized world has run roughshod over us because he hasn't got the cojones to stand up to them.
Imagine what Russia would do if he was president, Putin's now let it be known that he wants the old USSR back again; not that that should have been any surprise. It was just a matter of time and McCain recognized that. Tell me who's acting presidential in that situation? McCai, who's not afraid to call a spade a spade; or Obama whose playing on the beaches of Hawaii while Georgia, an American ally, burns.
Regarding the "Windfall Profits tax that the O-man wants to levy on the oil companies: Do you folks really think the oil companies are going to pay that tax? Ummm, nope, that will just trickle down to the pumps. Folks wake up, he's just recycling Jimmy Carter's ideas, check back and see how well they worked in the 1980's.

Wake up, voters!

I really wonder how much of this "fundraising" was from lobbyiest and big oil? This is simply the rich trying to keep the interest of soley the rich in place. I'd bet that McCain or McBush can care less about where the funding comes from. Especially when he continues to have closed door fundraises going on. What's to hide by closing the door? Trying not to be seen with his Bush buddies???

haha, that's cute

@Oregon Says... : "I'm sure the 27 million is made up of the contributions of like 8 CEO's and 9 sports owners…. wow… quite a coalition of supporters."

I agree, and what big business owners want isn't necessarily what's best for the majority of Americans.

@baby mama : "clearly momentum is building for McCain………first the polls…now fund raising………Hillary at the convention………..Obamamites scrambling………..it is all slipping way"

Why would you possibly hope that McCain would win? Who does that benefit? Will you be better off with more war, higher medical costs, more economic decline, and a continuation of an atmosphere of fear and paranoia? In any case, go to gallup's web site and look at the graph of Obama vs. McCain over the past FOUR MONTHS. You will see the curves fluctuate, and even cross a few times, but there is a definite, small average advantage for Obama. All the times that "shifts in public opinion" were hyped by the news, the polling hasn't really changed at all in the past four months. Obama has kept an edge of a few percentage points. There's no scrambling. There's no slipping away. There's a steady advantage, and, given that it hasn't changed in four months, it's unlikely to change in the 80 days or so remaining before the election. I hope Obama wins, for America's sake. I don't know why anyone would hope otherwise.

@ReaganDem84 : "I've switched my $20.44 bi-weekly payments from Hillary to John!"

Why in the world would you do that? If you believed in Hillary, then you believe in the Democratic platform. Hillary is now campaigning for Obama. Hillary ran in the election to DEFEAT McCain. So now you're going against Hillary's desire to defeat McCain? You're supporting Hillary's opponent? Why? I hope you think about what it was that made you think Hillary would make a good president, and then choose to continue to support her and her party, including her colleague, Obama. They competed in the primary because they had slightly different visions for America (small differences in their foreign policy approaches, and small differences in their health care plan ideas), but now that the primaries are over, they're hoping to take their shared ideas to the White House and to the bureaus and departments of government. Please reconsider your decision to switch your support from Hillary to McCain.

Matt said "Obama is trying to buy the election because he's to scared to debate McCain. "

God you are ignorant....there are 3 DEBATES SCHEDULED FOOL! I hardly thing Obama is scared of debating crazy senile McFrankenstein. Jeez

Obama supporters are strange creatures.

If Obama outraises McCain, it's "the Messiah has come"!

If McCain outraises Obama, it's "CEOs and big oil–it figures"!

Idiots.

I want to see Messiah Obama debate McCain (which the Messiah won't, becauses he knows he comes off as uninformed and superficial)–THEN we'll see what's what.

Hey Matt: u should read up, the candidates have 3 debates coming up. Educate yourself

go democrats!

THANKS BIG OIL WITHOUT YOU THIS WOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE.

Mikey August 15th, 2008 10:54 am ET

Just heard on the radio this morning (and not some wacko liberal station):

Is this true? Military personnel have shown a very strong preference for Obama, donating to his campaign by a SIX TO ONE margin over McCain.

Okay, now I want to hear you Obama hating military types explain again that we should rely on the opinions of our men and women in uniform when considering who is better on defense issues. It looks like the military has spoken as to who they have confidence in!!!!!!!!!!
____________________

That has also been reported in different military "news" papers. It is a fact and it could be because Obama was for the new G.I. Bill and McCain was against it. Over all voting records compared, Obama's vote on Veterans issues far exceeded the voting record of McCain. You can check various sites that are middle of the road, that don't have a political agenda and that are true fact finders as opposed to those right or left wing sites.

In June Obama got paid for FISA bill, Telco's came to Obama as thanks for selling out. It is why he raise extra much that month. Only one who kept promise from primaries were Clinton, who voted no to FISA, as she said.

Exiting to see what Obama does in July. Sure, the corporate slush funds are for Obama. However, no one believe any more the campaign bragging that little people's money is why Obama has mountains of dollars. Corporate money goes both ways.

Wow thats it. With all those lobbyist I thought Panamanian McCain would have gotten more.

For the first time in my life I am giving a Republican money.

I am scared of Barack Hussein Obama.

I guess the fools backing McCain are pleased with the Bush years. Four more years of this kind of thinking will run this country into the ground. I'm not saying Obama is a great alternative but at this point anything would be better than more Bush.

Matt you believe a coward like McPhony that says countries dont invade other countries in the 21st century well the 2002 invasion of iraq was in the 21st century you toothless idiot! I would ask you to think but you have no brain so there is no point.

Wonder how many of those so-called 2 million pledges Barack claims to have were actually illegally confiscated from Union workers. Personal case in point; I'm a union member in a supervisory position who've had staff approach me and said they'd had donations taken out of their pay checks without their consent. SEIU Local 1 in Chicago to be exact. Bullying tactics by the Unions so Barack can put out ads how Union members support him. Geez, they have no choice.

is that all?

LOBBISIT MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!

ReaganDem84 August 15th, 2008 10:52 am ET

Excellent!

I've switched my $20.44 bi-weekly payments from Hillary to John!

Way to go John.

Keep up the great work. Neither the celebrity-fazed Obamatrons or in-the-pocket-for-Barack media can stop us!!

Lemmings for Borat Obama..................

The sheer stupidity of all these cult-like followers is comical.......

America is waking up Obamites and when November rolls past, all of you star-struck Socialists and haters of America and slither back in your holes along with the false messiah......

Vote McCain or join the insane

Obama's "creeping" (and creapy) socialism will bankrupt America. Why should we tax the most productive, innovative and hard working folks and disincentivize them to continue working hard? I'm all for helping those in need, but to subsidize welfare mothers that copulate like rabbits and those who make absolutely no effort to help themselves via entitlements that amount to free handouts, forget it.

Change I can believe in? Hardly

How funny all you McPhony donors are spending for paris hilton ads.

Matt,

McCain is too cheap to spend earmark money on his state. He doesn’t care about people. You probably can't give them to big oil I guess. So no he have no earmarks. Except he can't hear the American people and their needs, maybe he will invest in a hearing aid to hear the American people needs.

I can't wait to see Obama's rake-in this month, which will be yet another record number of small donors from ordinary Americans, not corporate lobbyists. That's REAL public financing. Obama's fundraising has shown how he is the public's candidate and not the corporate candidate.

Okay .... Where did my comment.... go...

Is this being edited by Republicans...

Bruce

I guess it is wonderful that he is able to gather half as much as Obama. NOT!
How much of it is PAC and lobby money? We never hear where McCain's money comes from. I wonder why. Barack is so proud of his 2 million people who donate to him and I am proud to be one of them.

Keep collecting your welfare check Franky... You better hope Obama get's elected.

Shame to vote for a candidate who would rather America work instead of taking handout because they father too many kids without being able to support them.

i feel bad for Mccain, his supporters dont like him

wow I am impressed I thought by now the wealthy had spent all they were allowed to to get this idiot elected but I suppose when you are wealthy the rules do not apply so they can donate in many ways and under any name they choose.

No matter how many lies he puts into his ads, no matter how much crying and threatening the liar hillary supporters do it will be just like the liar hilalry's campaign he will spend millions more than he has, he will lie about obama and"throw the kitchen sink" at him, he will try fear and distortion, he will claim media bias and sexism.. err ageism, he will say the election was rigged, he will claim that he is just an ordianry guy and throw back a boilermaker or two, and just like the liar hillary truth and the better candidate will overcome all this and beat him

OBAMA! the next president! i cannot wait until both the liar hillary and the corporate puppy mccain have to congratulate Obama and call him Mr. Presidnet!

And for those who say that ageism is being used against the corporate puppy mccain I simply point out it is not his AGE that makes him old it is his inability to remember anything!

If you want to use the experiance line I will also point out that in the 70s (where the corporate puppt mccain is stuck by his own admission) IBM had all the experiance and Microsoft was the untried new guy... or maybe I should use the big three had all the experiance and Honda was the untried new guy...

Seems about 1 in 5 republican senators are going to be "too busy" to attend the republican convention..

(maybe they just sent money and flowers instead)....

Wonderfull

American are more commited in getting the right leader.

Obama's CHANGE = CHANGE POSITIONS

McCain 08/Clinton 12

I guess there are still at least somepeople left with common sense and a pocket book.

At least it appears Obama won't have to retire his debt too.

Not bad for a man that takes every weekend off. Can he use any of it to pay for his Jackson Browne lawsuit?

He's still gonna lose though.

YOU GO JOHN. ASK HILLARY SUPPORTERS TO PITCH IN AND HELP YOU. AS LONG AS SHE IS HELPING OBAMA WE WILL NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THE DNC.

ha! and I bet MOST of it came after he flip-flopped his position on off shore drilling.....

Troops Donate More Money to Obama Than McCain

U.S. soldiers have donated more presidential campaign money to Democrat Barack Obama than to Republican John McCain, a reversal of previous campaigns in which military donations tended to favor GOP White House hopefuls, a nonpartisan group reported Thursday.

So where is John McShame campaign money coming from other than his lobbyist friends and big oil corporations!

Obama '08!!!

LOL

Would have been better to put the money in your BBQ and set it on fire. At least you would get a little return in the form of heat. McOLD is going to lose and lose badly.

If this guy wins it will just show how stupid the American people really are. They will believe anything and everything. If George W Bush was running again, I bet he would even win.

That picture is so creepy. A perfect depiction.

Nice going Sen. McCain!!! Next month will be even better.

To all you Obama supportors : you really are very nasty. You are not going to get us McCain supportors to change our minds with comments so nasty.

Obama is not perfect and there is still alot we don't know about him. I keep wondering who gave him his start up money. Also, don't you think some of the people sending him money work for the oil companies.

I'm glad. I don't especially like McCain, but I will NOT be voting for Obama. I'll probably vote Republican for the first time in my life.

Now that America has had a chance to see who Obama really is the money will be pouring in for McCain!!!!!

Now if Obama posted the same numbers, the media will says he's not popular anymore, losing respect, etc....it will be a double standard...

The best month lobbyist can buy for Bush's affiliate, Rick Davis, in the McCain campaign.

I'd much rather be part of the over 2,000,000 donors funding the Obama campaign by the American people.

It seems odd the the Republican's can't generate the donations Obama has been getting. Many are apparently funneling their support to independent organizations and party committees where the donations limits don't apply. It's illegal to coordinate that activity, so it will be interesting to see if this Rupublican effort can send a coherent message when the campaign gets fast and furious. Of course there may be some really terrible independent efforts towards the end, racist organizations, that can capitalize on the situation. I epxect the last two weeks of the campaign will be unlike anything ever seen in American politics. I expect McCain will spend a lot of time repudiating independent efforts.

There is no way ordinary citizens will donate that much to McBush. Big Oil, Corrupt CEOs and Corporations, Big businesses and wealthy people are backbone of Grand OLD Party. GOP is what is wrong with America today. GOP wants go back to 18th century while Country wants to go to 21st century.

McCain/Exxon 08!

From a CNN News Headline: "Bush warns Russians against 'bullying'" – Please factor this in another campaign ad. It will draw more of the faithful sheep into the fold.

It would be very interesting to know how much total money was given to lobbyists by BOTH McCain and Obama.

That's it!!!

Big woopdie dang doo. I'm not impressed. Most of it came from those P (eople) U (ltimately) M (issing) A (a brain) 's.

McCain = Funded by Big Oil and lobbyists.

Obama = Funded by the People.

Who's got your best interests at heart?

It is amazing that poor ignorant people allow their money to be wasted on baseless negative campaign ADs. Good luck with more waste, it does give an insight how taxpayers money would be managed if entrusted.
What has happen to important issues that are make life difficult for ordinary people?

He'll need every penny he can get. And it won't be enough.

No one is giving the repub's money and now no one is showing up at the convention. Sounds like it's time to put the Republican party in the history books along with the Wigs.

1 Billion dollars!!!! bet that 27 miilion came out of it!!!!

McCain will need more money than that if he expects Karl Rove to "help" him.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When does Cindy McCain release her tax statements?

When does the good Senator explain his sudden "qualifications" for flight school? (Other than the fact his father was the ranking flag admiral at the time, of course.)

Good to see that McCain's starting to rake in some dough for his campaign. Obama's covered like the celebrity that he is, so McCain needs every penny he can get.

Comments to MCains Ad:

This Ad is full of Lies. Obama's new taxes are for the people who make more than 250k and which are only about 3-4% of the population. For example it will raise taxes on McCain’s family who spend hundreds of thousand on credit cards every month. People like that shouldn’t have any problem paying additional couple thousand taxes.

I am not sure how this will raise Gas price. It seems like Gas price go up when there is a dispute. McCain has higher probability to open another war which definitely will increase Gas price. So no it’s not Obama, It’s McCain who will be responsible for higher Gas price. Also we all know that oil loobyst is in his campaign.

"Top social conservative leaders in key battleground states are urging John McCain not to pick a running mate who supports abortion rights, warning of dire consequences from a Republican base already unenthused about their nominee.

But to some in the GOP who supported other candidates in the primary and are having trouble mustering much enthusiasm for McCain, the mere mention of a pro-choice running mate is disheartening.

LOL!!!!!! Good luck "Demopublic Party." LOL!!!!!!!!!

McCain with all of his lobbyist support should have pulled in more but the RNC knows that they do not have viable canidate poor man with his health issues and being in his golden years should retire and give up this fruitless effort of trying to be the President of our great nation.

I know noted on the last ticker that McCain is bashing Obama's ecconomic plan how dare he... he is the man that said "I do not know much about ecconomy" <== or something very close to those words.

He keeps spreading lies about Obama to no shame... how can he live with hisself.... gee as if we want a war monger, lier and cheat (he cheated on his wife) to be our President... Obama camp have to come back and hit hard as McCain camp keep pilling on the negative ads which appear to work on some ..... SHAME ON YOU JOHN MCCAIN!

And how many earmarks has Obama taken?

McCain? Hmm... Interesting. McCain hasn't taken any... EVER!

Obama is trying to buy the election because he's to scared to debate McCain. Obama has no stances. If people actually read up on BOTH candidates, they would learn.

Obama is a coward. Obama supporters are either brainless want this country to fail.

McCain's campaign and platform is based on true values that don't sway and change with the word on the street. McCain is one of the most bi-partisan senators in America, while Obama is the most liberal.

Bill Clinton looks like a 'right-wing nutjob' next to Obama.

No, McCain is the best candidate now. Unfortunately the liberal media outlets are set on helping Obama take over without debating McCain...

Think!

check out the new polls tha CNN refuses to report people…

Virginia: Mccaine has now taken a +1 lead over Obama….from an Obama +3 lead last month.

North Carolina: Mccaine +6

Mn: Last month Obama +12…this month down to +4

Nevada: Mccaine overtakes lead from Obama this month

Colorado: Mccaine now leading Obama…first time Mccaine leading in Poll.

Stick with it people…..we can and will stop this socialist and his cult from overtaking and ruining our country….Regular people with independant thought processes are figuring this man out!

Cnn…as always thanks for the unbiased coverage

More attack and lie money for the "old white haired dude". Just what we need, more lies and deceit.

Whatever happens, We The People wil win over McCain!

Just heard on the radio this morning (and not some wacko liberal station):

Is this true? Military personnel have shown a very strong preference for Obama, donating to his campaign by a SIX TO ONE margin over McCain.

Okay, now I want to hear you Obama hating military types explain again that we should rely on the opinions of our men and women in uniform when considering who is better on defense issues. It looks like the military has spoken as to who they have confidence in!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure the 27 million is made up of the contributions of like 8 CEO's and 9 sports owners.... wow... quite a coalition of supporters.

Pretty sure Obama's July total will be TRIPLE THAT.

I don't understand why he's fundraising...I thought when you accept public financing you forgo contributions?

Excellent!

I've switched my $20.44 bi-weekly payments from Hillary to John!

Way to go John.

Keep up the great work. Neither the celebrity-fazed Obamatrons or in-the-pocket-for-Barack media can stop us!!

–p.

Too little tool late! The losing team- McCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama will crush him in fundraising for July. As a matter of fact, I think I'll go donate another $25 since twenty-five goes into $2300 ninety-two times!!!

clearly momentum is building for McCain.........first the polls...now fund raising.........Hillary at the convention...........Obamamites scrambling...........it is all slipping way

Vote Apathy! Vote McCain!

How much in $$$ did he get from Georgia's President ???

Did not news surface recently that all the money raised on the Obama site was not 100% from small donors? Seeing money before his eyes did not Obama and Co move away from public financing and instead continue on with private 'small' donors? Hmmmm.. Change? Certainly no small change here and once again the dollar remains supreme and causes BO and Co to change course. The 'shiftmeister' at work! There is but one candidate with a record that I can trust and that is the one who demonstrated his worth not only in his military service but in government as well. This is why he has obtained from day one the support of a senior Democrat and why now BO&CO are scrambling to get their own Repubs to voice their support. Imitation is the best form of flattery!

Corporations and big oil, don't you love them!

Seems like connections to Reed/Abramoff and big oil pay. You go John. Corrupt America love you.

all funded by corporate,and big oil,and the rich.

How soon does he have to spend that??? Doesn't he go on Federal funding after the Nomination? Maybe he will flip flop on that also now that people are donating money. You know ...blame Obama's Superstar image and lack of experience....forcing McCain to break down and reject federal funding and accept donations only. Maybe he can get a public donation "SURGE" that will help him carry votes in that new Louisiana Purchase Territory.

What happened to public financing?

What 27 million, what a loser, I think Obama made at least 60K last month...

Simply irrelevant.

I'm not surprised. It just means his lobbyist friends just bellied up to the bar.

OBAMA RAISED 100 MILLION DOLLARS, NOW THAT IS NEWS

Amazing how much money it takes to elect anyone. How is it that we have this much "throw-away" money kicking around in America, and yet so many people are doing so badly, moneywise.
Kathryn Amherst MA

McCain, whose campaign is predicting a campaign budget of $400 million through the November 4, is skillfully exploiting loopholes in a campaign finance law that he wrote.
Here's the nuts-and-bolts of the loophole: the money McCain is currently raising through the campaign committees which reported their quarterly results on July 15 is actually being funneled to the Republican National Committee, even though each campaign committee bears McCain's name.
There are two reasons why the money is transferred to the RNC. First, if it were not transferred to the RNC, the money could not be used in the general. Second, by raising the money for the RNC, McCain is able to take advantage of a much higher contribution limits, allowing each donor to contribute $70,000 to his campaign instead of the $2,300 limit that Barack Obama's general election campaign has.

McCain and his connections to big oil will get him in a lot of hot water!!! Looks like his lobbiest advisor to Georgia is behind pushing Georgia into attacking Russia at the advice of McCain. HOW STUPID can these people be. Start a war and kills thousands again just to get elected. McCain you are sooo much more crooked than you were in the Keating 5 and you should have gone to jail then! What a sleezy little man with a narcisstic wife!

Who are these people giving money to this hopeless, pointless "campain"?

Probably the same people who fall for email scams from Nigeria.

Lobbyists for McCain
Child Molestors for McCain
Rapists for McCain
Murderes for McCain
KKK for McCain
NRA for McCain

That is real John McCain

I am American and I approve this message

I have officially decided to vote for McCain. I was going to possibly vote for an independent, or third party candidate, or just not vote at all……but DAVID GERGEN has just convinced me to vote for McCain.

Giving money to McCain on a monthly basis helps me cope with Obamania and all his fans. At least McCains money is coming from domestic contributers, you know the ones that vote.

It was released today that soldiers overseas have contributed over 6 times more money to Obama than McCain. McCain is the sure loser in this race. Why doesn't he go back to cheating on/beating his wife and calling her the "C" word.

McCain = worst example of an American

To all who send money to the McCain campaign .......You might as well walk into your bathroom and lift the toilet lid and drop your money in the bowl and flush because..................no amount of money is going to get that old angry warmonger elitist elected .

OBAMA IS THE ANSWER FOR AMERICA.......YES WE CAN!!!!!

I don't care how much McCain raised. Obama will bankrupt him before this is over with. While McCain puts out yet another lying ad, Obama registers 3,000 more people which = more donations for him.

Obama/Sebelius 2008/2012.

While 27 million might sound like a lot, but if there was trust and enthusiasm on the part of the traditional Rebublicab base, McCane should have raised at least twice that.

One of the reasons he is so heavily relying on lobbyists is that there is little or no money is coming his way from the Republican Base. I have not heard figures on public's contributions. I guess they are so minor that they are ashamed to announce them.

So go ahead CNN–Keep trying to brush McCane's gaffes and his lack of morality and lack of character under the rug in your "news"rooms. The American people are a lot smarter now that they have been stung by Bush.

Wow, this old Republican is pulling in good money. If Obama's numbers stay this low McCain will beat him in Nov. Why cant Obama get his numbers up? This is not good for Obama unless he gets his numbers up to 10+.

Weak, weak, weak! I suspect Obama's will be around $55 million!

So, McCain's all time record is about half of what Obama raised in June?

Like really, who cares, Obama will crush his numbers with his 2 million donors, and i am one of those proud 2 million.

It's unfortunate for the McCain contributors how McCain has wasted their hard earned money on low road ads full of nothing but negativity McCain said he was above.

Whatever....

Holy Jeez I guess the Social Security all got cashed in July.

Only $27 million and it is his highest...even his own party doesn't want to throw money down the drain!!!

I suggest he send the money to Georgians... spending this money trying to air their lies against Obama will be useless at the end.Obama will definately win.

As a Democrat it is getting pretty scary. Obama is better than 50 electoral votes behind where Karry was at this point 4 years ago. When you look at the state by state polling data, the newest poll has Obama losing Colorado, where he has led all year and Nevada and Missouri where he has been up and down. Virginia is tied and Ohio and Florida are begining to look like lost causes.

All of this while the Democrats are leading in races for the US Senate in seats that had been GOP, including Colorado, Virginia, Alaska, New Mexico, and tied in Minnesota. He better figure out how to kick start this thing soon.

McCain was against off shore drilling until he received a donation from top executives in 3 of the major oil companies in excess of 3 millions. After the funds started rolling in McCain announced that he is reversing his position on off shore drilling and now is in favor of it.

McCain offers a government for sale. Contributions are one thing but changing your position because of the contributions spell corruption.

Apparently with the contribuitions of Shell, Exxon and BP McCain has funds to spare. One question, how is it that McCain "raised" this money and he opted for "public financing".

At the beginning of Bill Clinton's first term, the Republicans said his economic package would spell disaster for the country. Now Senator McCain is saying the same thing about Senator Obama's economic package.

Deja vu!

Indeed the truth hurts, but it doesn't apply to McLiar – the MSM never presses negative stories about him – we all have to do that – it's because really, most Americans don't even care about McSurge – they already know Obama will be the next POTUS

Donations to save us from fear? How much money came from all his friends at Budwiser my friends? Or does he even have a clue? I think not.
Texans for Obama

Big deal so 5 or 6 giant corporations have him a bunch of money.... What does that prove other than to prove that he gets all his money from lobbyists and special interest

WOW!!!! That's all you got.......LOL

21 million aint nothing compared to the donors supporting Barack Obama..

over 2 Miliion POEPLE STRONG.. and I'm one..

shoot, John makes 21 million in interest from stocks and oil trusts just off the backs hard working of Americans

No MORE BUSH THIRD TERM..

No MORE of the same old Washingotn Politics..

NO JOHN McNegaitve

No more BIG OIL in the WHITEHOUSE..!!

Im backing John McCain and Rush Limbaugh as VP.

Hmmm it seems that McCain is really tapping into his criminal lobbyist friends for money. The man has sold his soul...and that's bad considering he won't be on this earth for too much longer.

More Tax Deceptions factcheck.org

Updated: August 12, 2008
McCain misrepresents Obama's tax proposals again. And again, and again.

Why Would You Want To Believe His New Ad Now!

He Continues To LIE!

McScaremonger

Read the headline news about Bush getting millions at fund raiser. He gave some money to McCain. That is how he is getting his money and from his wife.

Enjoy it while it lasts mcdoofus.Everybody knows that when your lobbyists friends won't help you raise money in the fall you will finally
wished you followed Obama's lead in opting out of public financing.
No matter how much you raise Obama will always raise double or even tripple.

I love McCain's math!!! He claims that Barack is more closely tie to Bush because Barack voted with Bush almost 50% of the time. However, he dismisses the notion that he is tied to Bush, with whome he voted in agreement 95% of the time. Now he wants to brag about raising 27million when Barack generally raises almost twice that amount each month. And there are people out there who seriously want McCain handling our nation's finances?!?!?!?!

We all know this money is tainted with lobbyist stench. At least real Americans contribute to Obama.

Obama 08!

Lobbyists don´t worry when he is President he will pay it back from the taxpayers money.

Just a friendly reminder: Obama LIED. He agreed to public campaign financing and then reneged. Call it what you want. In my book it's a LIE.

After the convention McSenile will be getting no out side money, because he took federal funding.Of course they will find a way to grab the cash under the table. OBAMA/BAYH 08
Connie from Indiana

Not a bad haul for the war chest.

About Half As Much As Obama Raised! The Real Difference Is That Mccain Has Dirty Tainted Money And Obama Has His Money Coming From 2 Million Decent Americans!

He can raise all the money in the world, he's still gonna lose.

Wow – cash rich, morally and intellectually still bankrupt!

More money to sling dirt with

Obama's campaign just topped 2,000,000 unique donors.

This is a campaign powered by the people.

I think 21 Million of that is from Cindy.

So McCain's best is still only half of Obama's? That seems to hold true across a wide spectrum of categories, doesn't it? I want to see more details about how many contributors each had, since Obama gets money from so many more small contributors (and still gets more total donations). And how much is coming from big contributors, and how much is coming from national lobbyists? Follow the money – and more of Obama's donations come from ordinary citizens, which means he'll be less beholden to certain special interests.

Good for him. Its funny Obama out raises him in monies, he draws thousands with his rallies and speech's and yet he can't even come in double digit polls so close to the convention and even the election for that matter. Maybe being just a windbag with no experience isn't cutting it with voters.

How many new donors? What was the average size of the donation? There is no information here that tells us the breadth of support. Does McCain have 2 million donors like Obama?

Just got this gut feeling that McCain- the Patriot would take the oath on 20th Jan. Obama just lost the nomination because he was supposed to open up a big lead and then just slightly dip before the polls but now this guy is running neck and neck with John McCain in a year when the GOP brand is discredited. Never forget that Obama underperforms when people actually vote.

great. mcshame lobbyists money keeps pilling up everymonth. thanks to exxon and harlliburton and for mcshame energy policies of giving oil companies more tax breaks while they make record breaking profits at the backs of taxpaying americans.

Obama '08

and...obama had 2 millions donors

top that

Here comes the Oil money.

I wonder how much of that money was donated by lobbyist and Big Oil companies.

Obama announced he took in millions from Tony Rezco, William Ayers and his spiritual mentor, the good Reverend Wright.

Actually, most of Obambi's money has come from "typical white people" who DON'T cling to guns and religion, but this FRAUDS every word.

For the first time in my adult life, I am disgusted with the sheep in this country, hope and change "aint gonna" protect your butt or keep our taxes low.

What is your new position on Russia today Obambi?

check out the new polls tha CNN refuses to report people...

Virginia: Mccaine has now taken a +1 lead over Obama....from an Obama +3 lead last month.

North Carolina: Mccaine +6

Mn: Last month Obama +12...this month down to +4

Stick with it people.....we can and will stop this socialist and his cult from overtaking and ruining our country....Regular people with independant thought processes are figuring this man out!

Cnn...as always thanks for the unbiased coverage!

McCain can expect a lot more after the Dem .Convention.

A Scaremonger;

“If there is anything I am lacking in, I’ve got to tell you, it is taste in music and art and other great things in life,” McCain joked. “I’ve got to say that a lot of my taste in music stopped about the time I impacted a "surface-to-air missile" with my own airplane and never caught up again.”

That's All He Thinks About Is WAR
What An Analogy to Use!
"surface-to-air missile"

To the Mccain campaing:

How much money have regular people donated? I mean $50 or $100?... right, I need to go to a fund raiser and pay $10k for a meal... well, it is a bit expensive for a rack of lamb... I rather send my kids to school and buy food with that money?
Why don't you guys disclosed who are the corporations that are going to be running the country?

Well McCain's campaign had to say something to counter Obama's 2 million donor movement. As usual reactionary at best is what McCain is all about.

I'm guessing $56 Million Democrats.

You'll need it.

My friend.

OBAMA 08

These donors don't really have use for their hard earned cash.This is a multi millionaire who normally should spare the poor of their dollars and leave the street for the poor street community organiser.
Moreover any dollar to mcWAR is financing the opportunity to have more wars this time with Russia as he has indicated in the last couple of days.
But when this war comes-God forbid! he should do well to send his own children to die in the war front.

Okay, this would be good for the McCain campaign. I have the question of does this really matter since he is going to be limited because of the federal limits since he accepted matching funds? I still think that he is going to have a problem winning because of several issues: support is energized; not getting a positive message or even a message; almost always being negative; being connected with an unpopular war and president.

Wow, ALMOST HALF OF WAHT OBAMA BROUGHT IN...rots of ruck!

Who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting the McCain never includes how many donors.

He just keeps getting deeper into the pockets of pacts and special interests. He's gonna end up oweing them and lobbiests a fortune when he's in office, he'll be their wipping dog.

Packs and lobbiests and special interests, thanks for nothing Mccain!

I wonder how many GEORGIANS donated to his campaign? Anyway i'm more interested in Obama's July numbers it's surely around 60million!!! We need every dollar to fight the Gop swiftboaters so please keep up the goodwork and donate whenever possible.

good for you McCain
glad to see you're doing just fine sticking to your word and not using the public funds like Obama is.

It's not how much money a candidate has available to spend, but it's the candidate's message that's important. Obama's message changes everyday, so I guess he is just trying to spend all that money he is getting. He's wasting your contributions, folks - he has no message. "Hope" and "Change" won't cut it. We would hope he stops changing his position on everything every day.

Interesting that he should announce a new record in fundraising considering that his lobbyists accepted over a billion dollars from big money corporations for many years now.

Obama, your turn…

OBAMA 08!
