Your very welcome. I guess it was just sent to those who would be giving donations for the first time, that would explain why you wouldn't get one.

It was in response to a post about not being able to manage campaign funds. This is proof that McCain has been unable to as you may well remember if you have been a supporter of his early on. Note the post it was attached to.

And? I responded to the topic. Support does not mean money. Or are you saying McCain doesn't need volunteers because he has more money for his blitz? Honestly, not a clue what you are saying.

Has or had less to spend. That was over two weeks ago and you know how prolific a fundraiser the brother is. How much has the campaign taken in since September 15? How many millions had he already paid for ads to take him to election day. He may be so well financed he was able to pay well in advance and not have to incur debt and then try to fund raise to pay back.

Money is needed for boots on the ground and ground operations. Per one of the links the McCain campaign admitted it couldn't do both while the Obama campaign can.

The email was for money, dont pretend it was for support. Heck, the request for support was the very last line and came under a ps at that..

More food for discussion on how the two campaigns are managing their resources in the final days. Undecideds you can decide how this reflects on the two candidates financial management skills.
Florida at center of tug-of-war between McCain, Obama - St. Petersburg Times
Florida Republicans are working overtime to prevent that, but they're in a strange new world. For the first time in decades, Republicans are up against a far bigger and better funded Democratic campaign in Florida.


Note the date of the article is October 29. Obviously Obama is fully funded and on a roll.

I wasn't pretending anything. He's asked all along for money, even if you can only donate $1 or $2, and if not then support by volunteering would be great, too. It's on every email from the campaign. If McCain has more to spend now, like I said...I'm waiting for the "blitz" that is coming...any day now. He does know election day is this Tuesday, right?

So your now admitting that his email saying they needed funds was a lie?

More from my previous link on the use of financial resources in this campaign
On top of that, Obama has nearly 500 paid organizers in Florida — about 10 times as many as McCain — and counts more than 230,000 volunteers.

The rolling average of the latest Florida polls compiled by RealClearPolitics.com shows Obama leading by 3.3 percentage points, and some Democratic strategists think their voter mobilization is so strong they can win if they head into Election Day lagging McCain by a point or two.

"This is the best field organization put together at least since the 1976 Carter campaign,'' said Jon Ausman, a Democratic National Committee member from Tallahassee. "The early voting is going so heavily in our direction it's going to way offset the losses we normally suffer in the absentee ballots."
