Some rumors say it was over $100M.

The way his donors look at it, is they can afford $20 or $50 or even $100 alot easier than they can afford 4 more years of this shit.

On MSNBC's first read blog....and as I said, they were reporting it as a "rumor", so take it with a grain of salt, but I don't think any number would shock me....the guy has got 3 million donors.

Mccain/Palin must be scaring more people than the harvard terrorist.

McCain may be a turn off to Obama supporters, but for many conservatives, Obama supporters themselves are the turn off.

I know several people that have Donated to Obama, and it was the first time they ever donated for something like this.

I think Palin has done just as much to motivate the liberal base as she has the conservative one.

Really? I don't personally know anyone on either side, that likes her. Other than the radio people, and very few calls in, I really haven't found many people that like her at all..

Everyone basically, right or left, has said she is straight out stupid, not even being nice about it.. Even my mom which is very right and lives in Texas, said "this bitch is stupid"

Now I'm sure those Christian nut cases are going off the hook about her. But they will follow a picture of Jesus on a dogs ass, in this case not a lot different.

All donations in excess can be used at his will to buy whatever he wants new homes, buy cars, homes for staff, you name it... I think all remainder from either party should be returned to donors or used towards our schools or deficit.

Fap · 10-13-2008, 12:01 AM

he should use some of that money to help the economy IMO

Not true. Not true whats so ever.

Candidates can give the money to charity, donate it to the platform party or may hold onto it for re-election or other election campaigns or other candidates campaigns.

I don't think that is the case. Here is something I saw about what happens with money leftover after a campaign ends.

They can

* Give the money to a charity from which they don't earn a salary
* Make unlimited transfers to party committees
* Make unlimited transfers to the candidate's committee for another federal office, without permission from donors
* Transfer money to their state committees if state law allows
* Refund the money to donors
* Contribute up to $2,000 to another federal candidate's campaign committee
* Contribute money to state and local candidates, subject to state and local law

Moreover, candidates can leave their campaign accounts open indefinitely. Former president Bill Clinton, for example, has an old committee that still has $13,000 on hand. Republican Gary Bauer, who ran for president in 2000 and dropped out, has $4,810 sitting in his account.

The leftover money can't be used, however, for any personal expenses, although the line sometimes blurs between personal expenses and political interests. Six years after his unsuccessful bid for president in 2000, Democrat Al Gore gave $117,500 of his leftover funds to the Climate Project, a nonprofit organization that aims to educate the public about global warming, Gore's pet issue. The group also trained volunteers to present the slide show on which Gore's film, "An Inconvenient Truth," was based.

The only limit on giving to a charity is that the candidate and his or her immediate family can't receive compensation from it. In the 2008 race, if she isn't the Democrats' nominee, Hillary Clinton could decide to donate leftover primary funds to her husband's charitable foundation, the William J. Clinton Foundation, which focuses on hunger and poverty in developing countries, AIDS and climate change. Or she could give it to the Clinton Family Foundation, which donates to other nonprofits. The Clintons do not draw salaries from either foundation, according to Hillary Clinton's personal financial disclosures.

Well that just reinforces my point that she has motivated the liberal base. They (in my case "we") are so scared at the prospect of her being a heartbeat away that we're doing everything we possibly can to help Obama win.
That includes opening our checkbooks.
