We need to be very watchful of the Clinton's (Father, Mother and Daughter) relationship to the electoral colleges. Remember that the Electoral Colleges were responsible for George Bush winning the last election. Considering all the factors that Barack Obama and our camp are up against, it is very important that we demonstrate twice as much effort than those who feel that they were destined for the American Presidency.

Rev. Thomas D. Mannah

LOL! All these fans are sending money to their star!! Funny. Sad, but funny.

blah blah blah.

He's breaking every record and he knows, it's part him, part his organization and part the UTTER FAILURE of GW Bush.

Way to go Obama!!! He does not need Hillary Clinton or for that matter Bill-o either. He's going to have enough problems to solve from the Oval Office, he does not need these two there trying to run the country again. I have never seen two people who do not understand the word "defeated".

If that book is so slanderous about Obama and it is all lies as you people state then I am sure since you paid for him and his family and friends to vacation in Hawaii you would not mind him spending a few million to put this suppossedly liar in his place and show him for what he is. If he does not pursue this course of action well where there is smoke there is usually fire. Get on it Obama and show these true believers the truth.

Wolf,

You forget, Senator Obama has OVER 18 million supporters too, THE 65,000 ARE ADDED NEW DONORS! Stop trying to hate on Senator Obama's very real efforts and ability to inspire people. One thing to keep in mind, HIS CAMPAIGN IS NOT IN DEBT, Hillary Clinton's is! Now, LOL at that! Oh, and by the way, in case you're new to this political scene, the polls change daily and are very unreliable at this point in the campaign! I wouldn't be doing to much "LOL" if I were you, especially since John McCain has not maintained a SOLID LEAD over a CONSISTENT PERIOD OF TIME!

There is NO WAY that figure is believable..........Obama's numbers are totally incongruous with that amount of fund raising, and frankly, it is probably NOT TRUE. There isn't a person I know who has EVER, EVER been POLLED..................the POLLS are so hyped, fraudulent and manipulated by the Democrats and the Media in unison, it is totally dishonest. Obama will NOT win in November....NO WAY!!! Raising a lot of money and trying to force his way into the main stream and intimidate the Republicans.........doesn't work. Obama hasn't got the goods or the experience to win. It's already the middle of August, and Obama is losing big time. This is only the beginning and people are just now realizing how totally unqualified Obama really is as a candidate.

the mainstrem corporate media have always been in the neo-con's pocket, if the employees themselves were NOT neo-cons themselves.

CNN is the worst.

forget CNN and go to DEMOCRACY NOW!

Fools and their money really do part soon! Proven fact!

Free will?
Interesting coming from supporters of the party of fear and pandering.

The Republicans promise more of the same....war, recession, hypocrisy. If that is what free will gets you, then free will is seriously overrated.

That great the amount that he has been able to raise and hope that it goes even higher every month until the election.

Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbaby, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Obama 08

all hail to the lords of lords,,, the god of change,, vote for obama and we all shall become one , ,oh , of the one whom we hope to see thee rise,, get a freakin grip,, maybe the people at the convention will come awake and alert, and ready to fight this mind altering drug called obama

why bother with polls?this says it all.

Wolf 65,000 of 18 million…………..still have a bunch of work to do there!

65,000 NEW DONORS plus The other DONORS!!!
65,000 NEW DONORS plus The other DONORS!!!
65,000 NEW DONORS plus The other DONORS!!!
65,000 NEW DONORS plus The other DONORS!!!

Dave, Illinois...

Sounds like you're the one needing some free will. How bout you showcase some free will by doing something other than disrespecting and spreading negativity which has become the status quo?

I'm sorry for you Wolf...that you have become a Republican. Take it from an ashamed ex life long republican. It is a sorry thing to be....I feel for ya. If you're not careful, you'll become a bigot in no time flat.

Yeah, what happened to the 18Million supporters? Why is Hillary still $30M in debt???

Wolf, how much did McCain raise in July? (Hint: it's not even half of $51 million). And how much have the PUMAs raised in their protest for Hillary? $50,000. You'd think if there really were 18 million voters for Hillary they could do better. Get ready for president Obama.

I am really impressed with Obama that shows people are really ready for change, wait and see what happens in Nov. we don't want republicans period, the really messed up America for 8 years. my money is part of the over $51, 000000. congratulations Barack, we are really proud of you.

Dear Dave, Illionis

It is with our free will we embrace Obama and reject the republicans.

No matter what happens and who raises the most, this election year as shown that the White House is up for sale. Like any of the candidates are going to do something for me, when there is someone else making contributions. What I do not understand, is if there is a limit on how much a person contribute, why are the political parties stating they are receiving so much?

The other part of this is why is it that the news media has not asked Obama for the list of contributors. No matter who his opponent was, he always reports more contributions.

7 Comments....CLOSED For Comments ?.....Thank you CNN
5 TRYS

Doesn't McSame know by now that the more they attack, the more money we give. Obama is smart with his money and puts it to the best use.

As for the polls, they are baloney. They don't poll cell phones which is what most Americans have these days.

Denver will be great! I don't care how much the religious right prays for rain, it won't dampen the spirits of those there, and those of us who will be there in spirit.

To Wolf – 65,000 of 18 million…still have a bunch of work to do there
The KEYWORD is 65,000 NEW DONORS plus The DONORS he already has Thank you!!!
To- Dave, Illinois remember whatever makes you LAUGH can also make you CRY

65,000 NEW DONORS

CNN not CLOSE with 7 comments 3rd TRY

People are giving to the party they know will win in November! M Cain and his ilk are so "last 8 years"..

Obama supporters....you and I are the reason for this fundraising success. I truly appreciate each and everyone of you for supporting Barack. I honestly feel as though he is America's best chance to find itself ...once again.

Was this the reason why Obama abandoned his principles of public financing? This is a clear message that he would do anything to win.
I hope he would be forthcoming on the values he practised at the faith meeting this evening, and how the values he practised are at variance with the ones he preached.

Boy, those "bundled" donations sure add up in a hurry, don't they?

Let's see, 65,000 new donors from the 18 million that voted for Hillary. Doesn't sound too good to me!

He looks old already.

It's amazing how much money this guy has raised and STILL he's not way ahead of McCain in the polls-when the election is over, win or lose, I would LOVE to know the total cost of trying to get him elected !
Jenn Amherst MA

To Wolf 65,000 of 18 million…………..still have a bunch of work to do ******* 65,000 NEW Donors PLUS the ones he already has Thank you

To Dave, Illinois I can't stop laughing......Remember whatever makes you Laugh Can make You CRY....SMOKE THAT !!! IDIOT

McCain $27M; Obama $51M. Sorry, Wolf. Try as might to help McBush pull over Clinton supporters, it's not going to happen and the money proves it. And, no, he doesn't need HRC. Nice try trying to budge that one along too. Democrats are beyond the "pumas" and the "no deal", republicans trying to divide our party. It's just not going to happen regardless of what you try to do. I know. It's a tough pill to swallow.

'fundamentally change business as usual in Washington" – really? Then Obama is not the candidate since he is just like every other politican in Washington. WOW – do they hand out the line of crap or what? It doesn't run in Camp Obama – it gallops! Just lookin' at the % of things and Obama is loosing ground. Should be interesting after tonight when he defends his abortion policy – perhaps he will flip-flop on that too..........LOL!

count me in as new donor

Go get it . This is your moment and the time that History will be change for ever . This is not hillary moment is Obama for the people and people for America. We all support Obama as president . Mcbush can go back home and hillary can be a good looser and wait for 2012 election.

Where did the money come from??? Hopefully soon some media will wake up and look into that? I wouldn't vote for this man! EVER

Wolf, it's people like you who give the DNC a bad name. 18 million bla bal bla. Be happy she is speaking at the convention and a symbolic jester by Obama to have her name on ballot.

$51 million for Obama vs. $21 million for McClone says a lot.... but so does seeing a thousand Obama yard signs and not one McCain.

Obama '08!

After the her "speech" at the convention Hillary is TOAST! The roll call at the first vote will only highlight the ones to be replaced in the next election. ( I know Maxine Waters and Sanchez in California are out. People here are sick of them). Now all Barack Obama has to do is let McBush have it straight and uncut at the debates and this country can move forward. John McCain is too old to lead his self out of the bathroom let alone a country. He is confused, uninformed and far too ignorant of world events to be even considered Presidential. The Republicans know this. That is why it's "every man/woman for themselves" with regards to their convention.

To Dave, Illinois-- I can't stop laughing……Remember whatever makes you Laugh can surely make you CRY!!!
To Wolf -65,000 NEW DONORS plus the DONORS he already has OK...The Roses Smells GOOD!! KEY WORD **NEW**

I'm an Independent voter in Arizona and, I have yet to see one positive post on this site about McSame. So it suprises me that so many republicans are supporting McBush so blindly. Obama has out raised McWar in Arizona also. I would at least think that some of the McCain supporters would have noticed that people in Arizona don't have an overwhelming like for the guy. I at least would think they would be curious why so many in Az have negative eelings about McFlip flop.

Wolf, donors aren't the same as primary voters, and primary voters aren't the same as supporters. What's with the facts here, hm?

This is the first time I've given money to support a political campaign. The other side can say what they want, but I believe in what's taking place with the Obama campaign. The winds of change are blowing across this country. I plan to send more money in the near future. America, don't be fooled by the books and the rumors. The others are willing to do anything to put Obama down. As a born-again Christian, I am praying for Obama each day. May the Lord give him strength. Amen

Obama '08

The chickens are coming home to roost.

The evil of Obama has been exposed and half of the party will not vote for him.

Price to pay for playing dirty and trashing fellow democrats JUST to win by hook or by crook.

Hillary comes out shining... Obama's luster is wearing thin.

Reality of how undesirable he is is setting in...

The DNC decided to allow the time-honored tradition of placing HRC's name into nomination.

To have blocked that symbolic and democratic process would have further weakened Obama.

Now, HRC will be recognized and then she will GIVE him her delegates. The weak Obama needs them to give a perception of strength.

HRC wins although Obama stole her nomination... Obama loses because winning by cheating and stealing is no win at all.

Obama will bear the shame of having shafted a good woman out of the nomination she earned. HRC will go down in hostory as sacrificing her personal good for the good of her party and country.

Brilliant.

Obama got ensnared in the very web of deception he spun.

Reality proved that he was UNable to win back 18 Milion democrats- even in this crisis year- even against McCain. And Hillary had to save him.

Too beautiful... irony... poetic justice.

Hey wolf!! If Hillary added 65,000 new donors in one month she wouldn't be in debt!!!!!!!!

Too bad HRC is too much of a true democrat and loyal to her party and her country.

It would have been truly democratic to have a floor fight at the convention- no Oprah or media or threats for Obama.... just a good display of the democratic process.

But HRC cares more for country and party than she cares for self- she won't risk dividing the party like selfish, arrogant Obama chose to do for his personal gain.

Obama played dirty to steal the nomination.

HRC will show herself the better person and the true leader, by LETTING him cheat and steal it- rather than risking a divided party.

She will give Obama her delegates.

People will then realize that she is the less selfish and more dedicated leader. But too late.... we will be stuck with the Obama.

Wolf,
You must be looking at Fox News Polls.

Welcome home, Mr. President

Hope you had a great vacation.

Good work.

Hey Wolf keep howling cause you ain't going no where .
If he picks Romney you will have the 3 Stooges McFrankenstein,Mc Lieberman,McRomney .

I've always wondered if there was any truth to the polling information. The polls seem to suggest that the race is so close. If so, it is certainly hard to tell by the fundraising numbers. McCain raised $25 or $26 million. Barack has raised $51 million. That is a big difference.

I will donate more in September. Already donated for his Birthday! What an amazing amount of money!! OBAMA 08!

Dave, If you only had a brain my friend. Have you not noticed how miserable things are in this country right now ...courtesy the republican party? What are you smoking? Look around or are you blind, deaf and dumb? Mostly dumb I;d say..Pull you're head out of ur fruit of a looms there buddy LOL

The voters are speaking! People want a "real" person as President, no more smirking clowns and related governing incompetence. McCain has surrendered his role as leader of his own campaign to the Rovian minions who only know how to be attack dogs, dividers and who dwell in the underworld of negativity. It seems many find the low road practices of the McCain campaign acceptable; maybe for some of these numbed persons a thawing will occur.

Obama will lose- even though Americans thirst for change- because of the ugly and ignorant vitriol from Obama fans against any American who is NOT voting for Obama.

Force will not gain votes for your candidate... neither will insults and hate.

So accept that people are still free to vote for one of our lousy options.

HRC was the ONLY good option and she will graciously give her delegates to Obama after the first vote at the convention.

She will shine and he will come off looking like he needed her to win- which, by the way, is the simple truth.

Wolf, you are such a sore head, really . You can't get over it and move on. Obama is doing wonderful with all his donors and then there is YOU!!!! I wonder what kind of money he would have to raise for you to shut up?? I am sure for you it can never be enough!! Go pout like you have obviously been doing!!! Oh and take Dave, Illinois with you.

Way to go, Barry! Less than three months to go

To- Wolf .....Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential bid added more than 65,000 new donors and raised more than $51 million in the month of July-–The key word (NEW )65,000 Donors plus the Donors he already had .....Thank you very much!!! Senator Obama and Senator McCain are tied the man was on vacation ....Mccain has not had the lead it is a close a Race OK!!!***65,000 NEW Donors ***

CNN should be charged with aiding and abetting if obama wins the election they are purposely withholding news items that the public should be aware of

At this point... these type of articles don't even need to be in the ticker.. what comment can you possibly make about this. Obama raises this kind of money every single month...

The only comments for a ticker like this usually have absolutely nothing to do with the article itself... so this is a ticker article where people just vent... like Dag.. who's under the delusion that Hillary is going to be or needs to be selected as VP... even though she's being totally divisive by putting her name in for nomination.. even though she's already conceded and endorsed Obama.

what's with the Obama bashers?

Obama raised twice as much as McCain couldn't you at least respect that?

Wolf August 16th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

65,000 of 18 million…………..still have a bunch of work to do there!

.003% of Clintons supporters. Good luck – LOL! His polls are going down, McCain is ahead in key states – and this is the best he can do? Dems better wake up and smell the roses – they are all coming up McCain!

I don't know where you get your info but like most Hillary supporters, you are misinformed.

51 million in one month. Almost none of that came from Hillary supporters? Unlikely

The people will take their government back from the neocons.
Can't wait.

What an incredible waste of money! I'm not just talking about the Dums, but the Repugs as well. Our infrastructure is collapsing, we have wars draining the life out of our children's future, the environment is coming apart, the economy is in the toilet, the sollar is a joke, our education system is in a world of hurt, we desperately need alternative energy sources, the Fourth Amendment has all but disappeared, we've had a two-term, unelected President, the nomination process is totally corrupt, and holding cells have been constructed in Denver for those of us who refuse to toe the party line.

It certainly seems to me that the best thing that could happen is complete campaign reform, starting with the establishment of spending limits, especially if Barry Hussein Obambi and John McNutcase are the best we can come up with. It's pathetic.

OUTSOURCE THE PRESIDENCY because a phone room in India could do a better job than any of our voting choices.

Obama is the real deal. The difference is clear between him and McCain. His canpaign is very consistent and well managed which is a reflection of how he will govern come November.

So Dave from Illinois if Obama people are smoking something you must be mainlining something because you have to be whacked or just plain ignorant to want 4 more years of the same crap! Stop laughing dave and sober up you are delusional!

The Obama supporters are nasty and meanspirited towards fellow democrats.... yet you all expect unity.

How does that work exactly?

25 dollars of that money came from me!

My third contribution.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08/12

Just say no to Obamamerica.

If we Democrats can't trust him, can you?

Knoxville

Well if this nation is going to make a change in our direction it will involve all citizens making that change as we must alter the way we live. We will have to do more to conserve. We will have to adopt and implement new forms of energy usage and we will have to tighten our belts and start producing in this country again.

Senator Obama will only be our leader and can only guide or point us. We must do the work ourselves so let's get to the first step which is acceptance that we will have to do it ourselves.

Its pretty much by about how much Barak Hussein Obama is going to beat McLoser by in November.

loving it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! obama 08

52 million dollars and 65,000 donors – Obama continues to outraise McCain by double every month – that should say something to this country.

OBAMA '08

Wolf, you are too funny. If Hillary had really had 18 million voters, why can't one pay a $1 each to pay off her loan?? Why is that LOL

And you are especially simply for not noting the 65,000 NEW DONORS this month, not TOTAL donors.

Wow, and you have the nerve to laugh at someone when you have reading comprehension levels of a 3rd graders.

Obama is pulling in TWICE what McCain has and it's McCain's "best month." LOLOL

I am also glad that the polls show a "close" race....it's good because it causes McCain's people to feel over-confident and keeps Obama's supporters working hard. If there were a big lead, these young folks just might fall back asleep like they did for Kerry. The race is not close, however.....but let's keep saying it is for Obama's sake.

Wolfe, can you spell "delusional"?...

Also saw that Bush raised 986 million for the party... too bac he did not raise that for our soldiers he put in harms way..

Whoopdedoo!....BUT, CNN....can you produce a complete analysis of the "new" donors for the Obama campaign....I find very interesting in light of the current state of everyone's economic condition right now that so many folks are writing a check to Mr. Teflon, who wanted public financing...then decided he didn't want it...remember?
Who is running....Obama or Plouffe and Company?
Who are these contributors? We want "facts," CNN....not press releases.......Union membership pressures.....fat cats in
SF ensuring that their employees contribute...spell it out....be fourth estaters.....

Find out, boys....it's your job.

Obama is actually ahead in the polls and trending up. More money & more donors for July is positive for him & seems better than McCain- I don't know how you can spin it another way but you can try.

Independents are smelling the roses and if Hillary were somehow in it she would be a distant 3rd among independents who again will decide this election. How about all of the 18 million Hillary voters kicking in a buck and a half to retire Clinton's debt. I hear PUMA has a whooping 50k in their coffers. I actually think Hillary is a Democrat party loyalist and to her credit she will bring in 99% of her supporters; it's those nasty bitter 1% that should vote for anybody but whoever is the Democratic party victor unless it's Hillary. There are always a few. Be positive and let's move on to a better America!

Good luck

Hooray! Hoooray! I am a Republican who understands the landslide. donations, I would never, ever vote for the disingenuous John McCain!
He wil say and do anything to get elected President, his time has gone and gone and he needs to face up to it.

Ant the Republican money machine has a lot more money that will try and destroy Obama's run for the presidency. This country already went down the toilet when we put Reagan in the white house, we had thirty years of same, it's about time we had some change. Obama is a breath of fresh air, he is young, intelligent and full of helpful ideas. Go get them Obama, another 51 million and still going strong.

Now, he can make a speech AND raise money!

good then he doesnot need my money
PUMA

Good!

Wolf,

If Clinton managed to win the nomination at the convention, do you REALLY think that Obama's supporters would vote for her after all of this PUMA crap? I think not.

I am writing Senator Obama a check. Barrack Obama has very high moral standards. He would never disrespect his wife or children or the American people. He is not a Rock Star he's a Rising Star. I do not know how John McCain can possibly believe that the American people will elect a guy who cannot keep the sanctity of marriage. This is the same guy that barks about pork barrel spending, but John McCain doesn't mind using someone else's money to fund his campaign even though he has plenty of his own to spend.

An overwhelming majority of soldiers in Iraq have contributed to Obama's campaign! If they can on a meager soldier's salary , so can you.
Obama 08

Wolf,, Thats 65000 new donors. Not everyone who vote's donates. over 50million he raised and it took mccain and the rnc to do that.

ELLINGTON7 said "This only proves that the power of change is real, and that those who embody the spirt of change will recieve what they so desire in nov. Off with the rethuglican party forever."

This sounds like something from "Children of the Corn". Good Lord, man, stop smoking whatever Obama is giving you and get some free will. I can't stop laughing......

he needs hillary as VP...period! she can win in the debates and is ready to govern

So Wolf have you contacted all 18 million Clinton supporters and confirmed that they aren't voting for Obama. Have you checked to see how many were Rush Republicans who voted for her as the Republicans wanted to run against Hillary??

Wolf,

That only what the media want you to believe! Let them do a cell phone survey and see what happen. I have met a person yet that have been polled.

MCbush id Toast. Get ready for the shock and Awe this fall.

Obama raises money, but doesn't have the skills to use it effectively.

How much did he outspend Hillary Clinton in Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania only to lose all three of those important primaries?

MIdgea NFIL

hmmmm wonder if all the donations sent for Obama's campaign are from americans?????

This only proves that the power of change is real, and that those who embody the spirt of change will recieve what they so desire in nov. Off with the rethuglican party forever.

his polls are going down? i guess i must be watching the news on mars or something because i've been getting different information. oh, and "the best he can do" is still leaps and bounds ahead of mccain's fundraising. i call a big fat "nah brah" on your statement.

I am 68 yers old & have donated to the campainge. I would like to attend this history making event . I live in Ca. I have my fare and a place to stay all I need is a ticket to the event. Can you please help me obtain one.
Thank you

You go,Obama! We're going to need all the money the dems can get to fight back against McBush and his dirty tricks and sleazy campaign tactics.

Obama's campaign money machine is becoming an obscenity. Instead of bragging about it, the Obama campaign and Obama himself should be ashamed – people ought to send their money to the starving and homeless families of America, not to some rock star. YUCK!

65,000 of 18 million..............still have a bunch of work to do there!

.003% of Clintons supporters. Good luck – LOL! His polls are going down, McCain is ahead in key states – and this is the best he can do? Dems better wake up and smell the roses – they are all coming up McCain!

Great. Lets keep up the good work. This is one way to tell everyone that Barack Obama will be our next President of the United States of America. YES WE CAN!!!

be aware of the Clintons. they should be conceder enemy no one.barak should not trust them what so ever.

Just goes to show how motivated the Americanpeople are for change, Obama 08

This says something about the enthusiasm of voters. I don't think many of John McCain's supporters are completely enthralled by his candidacy. I think that Obama has many more supporters that are so ready for real change in Washington that they are willing to give up their hard earned money to show support and help make sure that their candidate wins in November. Considering the state of the economy I'm surprised that so many are willing to give up their much needed gas and groceries money.

I am starting to think the Obama camp is inflating it's figures. I would also call for an investigation into illegal foreign and bundled contributions . $51 million didn't all come from legitimate sources.

Keep it going you can do it.

Yeah, that is only because he went back on his word, flip-flopped, and decided to change is stance on public financing. Since Obama has supported Bush policy and flop-flopped on every key issues, as a Dem, he does not even stand for the same things that I would have voted for him for in the primaries! Right Obama is nothing more than a man who is perfectly happy to use race to his gain, who cannot pick a stance and stand behind it, one who supported a racist bigot church that segregates for 20 years and then contradicts the values he supported for 20 years with an idealism of Unity that does not fit his track record. When I look at Obama I see the freshmen of the Senate who is so unskilled he has to take a last minute "War for Dummies" trip to the Middle East in attempt to look more qualified for the job when in fact it made him look the opposite. He will not get me or many people that I knows vote without Clinton on his ticket anyway. As a Democrat (and yes, I am willing to prove my voting record) I will vote for McCain first because at least McCain has fought in a war. We are a country at war in two countries and God knows we have other conflicts with other countries and what we do not need is someone with 0 experiences in this field who has barely been in the Senate at all to get into office. Obama supporters can call Dems for McCain childish and try to blame Hillary over it all they want, we do not care, they just cannot except the fact that perhaps it has to do some with voters rights, some with Obama's flip-flops, a lot with his questionable support of Wright, some with Rezko, and a whole lot to do with his lack of experience. What is childish though, is voting for someone because of the color of their skin.

ON TO VICTORY AND CHANGE "WE TGHE PEOPLE" CAN BELIEVE IN. OBAMA 08

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SWEARING IN ON THE LINCOLN MALL. ABE WILL BE PROUD!

who da man...
mc kane don't got no money to fight obama now..

he be gonna struggle unless he get his swift boat dudes to help him out after the conventions!!

why do you think Obama is getting so much money?

because joe public are interested in the election this year and joe puplic don't be all stupid like most republican voters..

how stupid do you got to be to vote Bush into power not once, not twice but three times!!!!!! (big bush included for statistical purpose).

Why do you guys have an add comments options when you ignor them on weekends?

Go Obama. You are a blessing to all, that's why everyone wants to give and give...........................and give
We'll not stop giving until you take-over the white house.

great cnn. what a news

just wow..........

Throw all the money you want at the campaign.
The American presidency cannot be bought.
Obama has not proved himself agains Sen. McCain.
It is time for Dems to pull the plug on his campaign.

troubled sign for Obama.

Senitor McCain Raised more in July than June while Osama did less

WHY? PEOPLE DON'T TRUST OBAMA AS THEY DID ANYMORE BECAUSE HE CHANGE HIS POSITIONS ON ISSUES QUITE MORE OFTEN NOW?

OBAMA'S CHANGES = CHANGES OF POSITION = FLIP FLOP

Wow!!! I need A loan

So what, money is not everything. John McCain is also a change. Obama will not win in November. He outraised and outspent Hillary as well and he only won because of the Superdelegates. Hillary made some critical mistakes in her campaign, otherwise she would have won the Democratic primary, it was not because Obama is so great and offers lots of change.

As we have seen, Obama is a typical politician. He gives the impression of running a positive campaign, yet, under the covers he is running negative ads in the swing states. Three years in the U.S. Senate with two of those years spent running for President. He will not win in November...too inexperienced in a dangerous world at a dangerous time.

Together McCain and the RNC barely exceeded what Obama brought in alone - hmmmmm does that mean something? If I were still an addicted Republican, I'd be worried.

10 years sober

mccain isn not a big fan of risk without risk the united states wouldnt exist without risk we wouldnt have electricity nor cars..the inabilty to want to be openminded to change is dangerous signs of wreckless perception and the abilty to discern...mccain wasnt trusted in 2000 primaries this is why bush won so go barakc

Obama for president 2008/2012. All you Clinton complainers need to get a life.

This is a clear indication of the urgency in which Americans want change. Albeit Obama does lack experience, the 30yr Washington players have shown the american people that they can do very little, and we as american want a newer, progressive Washington. Is Barack the answer? Certainly, nobody else in Washington has been since FDR.

Lets keep the money flowing to Barack Obama people, we need fundamental change in the DC and the Nation, and lets not forget the local elections as well.

Fight Obamunism

We believe in you, President Obama! It won't be easy, and it will take all of us, but we're ready to make a difference. Thanks for giving us the hope we needed to get started.

Hell Yeah! Go Get Obama. We are all pulling for you and putting our money where our mouth is. Let's Get It! Donate Today!

This begs the question "why is the race so close" ? There are many whites who cant see themselves voting for a african american to run the country. I would think other wise if Obama was running against a candidate who was just as intelligent ,charismatic,had common sense, was grounded , ran their campaign on fundemental principals ,related to all ethic groups,didnt run a smear campaign, didnt invoke fear into people to win votes, spoke intelligently on all issues ,raised more money,was youthful ,and more importantly inspires the american people. Unfortunately this is not the case. Mc CAIN HAS HAD A FREE RIDE THE WHOLE CAMPAIGN DODGING EVERY IMPERFECTION ABOUT HIM AND HIS SWIFT BOAT CAMPAIGN. OMBAMA COULD BE JESUS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IT WOULDNT MATTER RACISM STILL RULES

keep going Barack. At least its not tax payers money, its donors money and we trust you to use it how ever you want !

I HOPE OBAMA IS NOT TRYING TO MATCH McCAIN FOR DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR. JUST STICK TO THE ISSUES @ HAND. START STATING WHAT HE GOING TO DO FOR THIS COUNTRY. OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE TO THROW PUNCHES, JUST STICK TO THE MAIN ISSUES. McCAIN WANTS A ALL OUT WORD FOR WORD FIGHT.

CNN.....

NO VIEWERS TODAY?

I donated. Going to donate even more in August. This is our campaign.

Dominique
One of the Millions!

I am proud to be a part of this movement. Washington needs a real change and the White House will soon become the PEOPLE'S HOUSE!

Why don't those so called donors contribute some of their big cash to the needy and we all be a lot a happier. You politicians are all alike, spend your money foolishly. Who in the world would donate that kind of money to a loser.

I don't know about the democrats anymore, and I have always been Democrat, not this year.

1,2,3 million and more
obama '08

$51 million buys a whole lot of Hope!!

McCain doesn't stand a chance!

i am sick and tired of people trying to paint Barack Obama as a muslim
when he finished college, he didn't go to the mosque to organized communities he went to the church. If you don't want to vote for him because he is half black,just say it and stop distracting the rest of us who are looking for change

Well Done Guys Onward Soldiers!

BOOYAH.

That's all I can say. It's not dignified, but it's the cold, hard truth. McCain and the GOP have to team up together to raise this kind of money, and we do it on our own.

Eat that, Old Man.

If people really belive that Obama is raising all this money from "the people", they must really be smoking some contaminated dope.

I bet you that all this money is coming from special interest groups and may not be totally legal.

One question to the believer of the "sleazy used/lemon car salesman": How come Obama never shows proof of the source of his money? Could it be that the money is really coming from political lobbiest??

Well, You Go President Obama!!!!

I am sssooooo glad you are back home, now let's get down to business and WIN THIS ELECTION!!!!!!

OBAMA '08

AS A LIFETIME REPUBLICAN ACTIVE PARTY MEMBER I SALUTE AND ADMIRE THE PERSONAL MANAGEMENT TALENT OF SEN. BARAK OBAMA AND THE HIS ENTIRE ELECTION CAMPAIGN TEAM. THIS IS AMERICAN WAY OF DO THE RIGHT JOB. THE ENTIRE TEAM DESERVES ADMIRATION AND FULL SUPPORT.
GOOD JOB SENATOR.

Great article in NYT about how Obama and McCain are getting money from the same people ... BIG money people ... which is why Obama is not talking about the economy with any real detail ... same old politics as usual.

The Republican party and the McBush campain are raising a lot of money from big Oil!! We'll need to do our part to support the Democratic pary. I'll be sending another $25 to the Dem party today.

How much Hill and Bill have raised for the convention?

65,000 new doners? Then why are his poll ratings not much higher?

Go Obama! Let me be the 2000001th donor to this wonderful cause

Almost double McCain's best month ever. It's amazing they are so close in the polls when they are so far apart in fund raising.

Commander in chief
Yes we can.

BAM! IN YO' FACE McSLIME!

YES WE CAN AMERICA.VOTE OBAMA IN NOVEMBER GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Amen.

YES WE CAN AMERICA.VOTE OBAMA IN NOVEMBER GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Yes america we did it again!!!!please make the august 10000000.yes we can even $1 is ok tell your friend.

Thats what i am talking about Yes we can america i donated $5 and i am proud of it.and before i forget i am donating again.

Here is one proud donor to the "change campaign".
YES WE CAN!
SI SE PUEDE

Keep up the pace Obbie Boy. Milk the little man of his money. But the surprise will come in Nov. when you find out that all the money in the world will not buy you this election. For sure, this Democrat is going to vote for quality and experience, NOT glitz and numbers. This Dem is voting for McCain, unless a miracle happens! And tell us more about the LIMO RIDE in Chicago!

And please note that this money is coming from people like me who have never given more than a few dollars to any campaign before. I regularly donate small increments of $25.00. It makes me feel like I can have an impact beyond just my vote and I am deeply committed to electing Obama.

Lets put America back on top where it belongs!!
Obama '08

wowow goooo obama . we got your back

GOBAMA! The people are behind you and you will be our next president. I hope you are rested up and ready to get back to hitting the trail .

Go Bam

I will donate again today

Everypay day until Obama is elected and we can start once again getting things done in this country for the regular, average hardworking american / family

Now that Corsi has proved that Barack Hussein is a Muslim-what are we to do? I love Obama but I cannot put our country at risk so I'm switching to McCain which is a shame since I already gave $ 2,300 to Obama.

Go Obama! So much for the premise that Senator Obama would not be able to sustain mega fundraising levels!

Obama/Webb 08!

Proud monthly contributer to Obama's campaign.

McCain is too old!

Go Obama! Supporting you all the way. God bless America!

nearly double what mccain did.

Obama`s campaign is financed by people like you while McCain`s is financed by lobbyist and oil executives. Thats why McCain never tells you how many people contribute money to his campaign.

Change is coming, McCain and Bush know it.

Obama 08. Judgment over experience.

It won't help Obama stand on his own two feet with straight talk instead of lies, obfuscations and half-truths!

Obama is the guy of self-adulation who encourages idolatry in his swooning followers.

Obama is not worthy of worship!

And, Obama is certainly not a credible candidate for President of the USA!

Barrack keeps impressing me. Can someone tell me why he still leads in donation why John laggs behind. maybe this is how the general election is going to look like. he who plays well takes the game period.

WELCOME BACK SENATOR, GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU SAFE AND YOUR FAMILY FROM ANY EVIL...

GREAT NEWS!!!
I'M NOT RICH, JUST LIVING CHECK BY CHECK BUT I PLAN TO GIVE WHAT I CAN EVERY MONTH!!!!!
I HONESTLY FEEL THAT I'M A PART OF THIS CAMPAIGN!!!
YES WE CAN!!!!!

Great job all donors!

The people have spoken. This is one for the history books 2 million strong for OBAMA 08!

And how much of those donations are from people in countries in the middle East? Obama would throw our country under the bus to become president.

PUMA - Vote McCain

Welcome Home
BARACK THE VOTE !!!

and McCain raised how much? In November I am voting for Obama, the candidate that is fiscally responsible, and knows how to handle money. The way he handles his campaign finances, I am sure he can get the economy going in the right direction.

Now thats what i called the "Need for Change".. the urgency of Now.

10 more dollar is coming from my side after i write this comment....

Obama '08

But McCain did get a huge amount of money from the wife beater and adulterer voting block.

Obama is done and he knows it. The democrats in that party are trying to control Obama and his VP pick (Kerry) and now the Clinton's will run in right into the ground now that they own the convention floor for 2 nights. No bounce. I feel sorry for the rookie but let this be a lesson learned junior senator from IL.

Instead lounging on Hawaiian beaches, why is Barack not over talking with Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev so that he can convince them that they should really be nice guys and not blast the defenseless (and freedom loving) Georgians off the face of the earth? I'm sure that these Russians are simply not quite understanding what they are doing, and need a messiah to counsel them in taking a different course of action.

Meanwhile, Pooti Poot Putin and Medvedev are laughing themselves silly at the prospect of a President Obama...

It's all about the money.

And I'm one of them.

Let McCain try to even touch that, even with his hands elbow-deep inside the lobbyists' pockets.

I have been a Liberal democrat my whole life, but I will not vote for Barack Obama, period.

Glad to know my contribution is included in this amount.

OBAMA 08!!!!!

Use this money to hit back hard at RNC so they do not swiftboat Sen Obama.

we´ll gladly keep giving more to the Obama campaign....get rid of the repugnant rats (GOP)

Go Obama.

I guess I need to double my next contribution to McCain instead of donating to help Hillary, since she is no longer the nominee.

Nice picture of his expectancy. But that is better photo than I thought we would see. Nice he could body surf when the world was watching what was happening in Georgia.

Obama is so green he thought the news was about Atlanta, Georgia.

He is risky and it would be a gamble with your life and your values if he somehow got into office. He likes high taxes and reparations.

This from the camp who said he was taking public financing, because

money corrupts politics. A N O T H E R C H I C A G O S T Y L E

P O L I T I C S P O L I T I C I A N ( like Rev Wright told us).

Remember when the Democrats were for limiting funding for campaigns? Now they are proud to "buy an election," as they used to accuse the Republicans of doing. This sure is change for the better.

I hope Obama spends the $51 million to define McShame before November.

Go Obama!

At least one million per state, going better than I expected, MacCOld is in for a rough time.

It's good to see the rank and file or ordinary citizens of a country get involved in supporting a candidate they need to change the direction their country is heading in and improve their lives.

I just gave my first contribution to McCain, my first contribution ever to a Republican. I don't want Obama's type of 'change,' especially with how Obama has divided this country by playing the race card and cheating at the caucuses. Just like Bush became the illegitimate president in 2000, Obama will be the illegitimate nominee of our party.

Yahoooooo!

YES WE CAN!!!!!! YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FUTURE PREZ OF THE UNITED STATES!!!!!!!

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT, AN AMERICAN WIT AFRICAN BLOOD

WOULD ACHIEVE THIS!!!

You're on the home stretch now, Obama! You're doing a fantastic job!

Senator Obama will win in November because America needs "freshness" in our government. Obama cares for the low man on totum poll, he cares for the poor, and he cares how the American people live their lives. All the republicans care about is oil and war.

Go Obama – We Love You.

Can I leave another comment? In America there is a huge elephant in the room and noone sees it. I am refering to the well documented book "The Prosecution of George Bush for Murder" by Vincent Bugliosi. Many of us already know it and believe it. Thousands of others have not got a clue. I live in a very elegant retirement community. I doubt if ten residents know about the book,or would read it. It is appaling that this is hanging in the air and nothing is done. I can barely look at Bush when he appears on the TV.
".

Barack Obama ... the second coming of Jimmy Carter. I feel so inspired!

IN YOUR FACE MCCAIN!

he keeps pilling up the money and adding all these donors. it seems that the whole country is behind obama, why then does the polls show them at virtually a dead heat. something funny about that. maybe someone should verify all those donors, a quick random check should give a good indication of any funny business.

We just completely blew McSame out of the water on this one....as usual!!

Obama Richardson 2008

I'll keep donating so we can take back OUR country.....O/08

go obama go!!

51 MILLION !!! Better than I thought it would be!
.
Come home safely Mr. President and anytime you want to show off those body surfing skills, feel free! This is going to be a GREAT presidency! Thank you for standing up for ME.

This is what I am talking about, time for change no more republicans enough is enough no to the third term of Bush, No to McWar and Mcshame.

Change we CAN Believe in..

The Fierce Urgency of NOW..

Yes...WE..Can..

Go Barack.. kick butt & take names...& I'll keep donating monthly.......!!!

Take THAT MCCAIN AND ALL YOU REPUGS!!!!

I hope I am in the right place. one of my many concerns about the US is the immence amount of money used for running compaigns. Why can't we shorten the time, give each candidate the same amount of money, not from private or corporate sources but from the US funds.
This would discourage the inevetable "pay-back"which is so inevetable today.America has outgrown it's present system of elections.

You will hear more from me.

GREAT NEWS! PREPARE TO GET MY AUG DONATION SOON. MR. OBAMA I LOVE HOW YOU USE OUR DONATIONS RESPONSIBLY....OBAMA 08

If this was a football game, and Team Obama beat Team McCain 51-27... that would be considered a blowout.

I think even in politics that would still be a blowout.

Obama 08

who knows what the truth is coming from this campaign! Why is he not more ahead in the polls with these "65,000" new donors? sounds like "numbers, just "numbers". Something like "words, just words". Give me a break.

With all the money Obama is raising, you would think he would be ahead in the polls.What does that tell you??? With all the hipe about Obama , the American people just don't trust him. Most of the money donated is coming from the black community, most of these people
cannot afford food, but they are determined to have a black President.

This is incredible, Obama consistently outraises his opponents. The enthusiasm is great. As a lifelong Republican I am encouraged and inspired by Barack Obama. This year I am voting for Barack Obama for the nest President of the United States of America.

all of it to spend on advertising for a candidate????
does this not seem like a waste?

Obama will need every penny to fight back against the republican smear machine.

yes we can!

Obama '08/'12!!!!

And, how much did McCain raise??? lol...lol....lol

LOL! And all those McCain supporter idiots kept saying Obama won't beat McCain's $27 million raised in the same month! ROFLMAO! He raised almost TWICE as much as McNoname!

This is what happens when you have a well organized campaign.

AND THE PEOPLE SAY WE DONT WANT CHANGE! WHAT DOES THIS TELL YOU HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think he will cross the billion or even trillion mark and make history. He will go down in the books as the candidate with the most prolific fundraising machine ever who could NOT win a nomination. He couldn't beat Hillary despite out-raising and out-spending her. He will wither on the vine against McCain and, in the end, the 2 million plus donors can join Oprah for a commiseration session.

WAY TO GO OBAMA. MY NEXT CHECK IS IN THE MAIL.

OBAMA....08

I wonder if any of Obama money came from Putin or his sympathizers as I am sure the Russians would love our next president to be wide eyed inexperient socialist.

So many more democrats are registering for Obama and so many more independents are donating to him. Llike it or not, and apparently CNN doesn't like it, Obama's our next POTUS and we'll all be the better for it. The respect and cooperation from the rest of the world alone, it worth so much and I do believe Obama's plans will lead us on the road to economic recovery as well as energy independence. McSame will lead us down the same old tired dangerous road we've been going for years now.

Not enough guys. Lets rev it up a little. Obama needs our help. RNC+McCain got 27+26 = 53 million from big oil and big corporations. We need to get our act together.

yes, and it was reported last week, that a third of Obama's donations come from big donors, the exact corporations and people he said he was trying to get out of government. As usual, he says one thing and does another......this man is such a fraud, and his supporters only know how to vote, because Oprah tells them who to pick!

It must be that the campaigns are legally bound to disclose this information otherwise, if I were Obama, I wouldn't let the MSM/McCain camp know anything about my campaign finances.

I would ask that CNN do their job and find out how much of Obama's contributions come from outside the United States. I have heard that the majority of his funding is from foreign nationals. That should be a bad omen for America.

MCCAIN CAN'T STOP THE OBAMA TIDE!!!!

More of that BIG OIL money rolling in...

Hey what about McCain's public financing. How much has he used?

Way to go keep it coming. Victory is at hand. I gave my $25 for the month.

Obama has raised FAR more money than everyone else – why can't he put this election away?

No matter how much the opponent raises, Obama ALWAYS raises more. I wonder if Oprah is dumping money in. Things that make you say hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!

For crying out loud, we have the dough, that's no problem. I knew right away when my boy didn't accept public funding or whatever is called, I knew we were going to get the dough.

Guess there's no way Souffle (I mean Plouffe) will prove they added 65,000 new donors. Guess anyone can say that.

In any case, Obama will need all the cash he can raise - if for no other reason than to pay for his "coronation" in Denver.

so screw you John McCain.
Obama will be our next President

Way to go Obama. You have run a great campaign which by itself shows you know how to lead. The "experienced" candidates have run horrible campaigns and have had to shake their entire staffs up. What does that say about their so called leadership?

clearly shows a lack of enthusiasm on the gop's part.probably why the 'few' scream so loud.

Obama by landslide.
