McCain raises twice what Obama raises over Palin (thought, Republicans, liberals)

If that was true, then how can you cite his same approach for being responsible for 15min worth of donations?

It doesn't take hours to send emails and texts if you have a blanket list ready.

I don't understand your second question, what are you trying to say? That he doesn't deserve credit for raising donations? He didn't try to take credit and flaunt it... just used his contact list to try and help.

Just giving everyone a heads up, as people here are posting that he did nothing, when he did.

They said on the news that when he sent out the message about his VP via texts that it took hours and there were waves of texts that went out.

For that reason, Im not sure you can attribute a 15 minute spike to him, wouldnt it instead be a longer wave of higher donations?

Just a simple question, dont go getting all Lefty/Righty on me. Im only trying to see the logic in this claim.

McCain Camp to Leave Convention With $200 Million, Aide Says - Yahoo! News (broken link)

In the last two days, the Republican National Committee has taken in $17 million, a campaign aide said.

$17 mil in 2 days is a lot.

No wonder they're so happy.

Lol is right! What I see is complacency turning into urgency.


The coronation has been cancelled. Looks like we got a real fight on our hands. Poor Barky will have to actually WORK to get elected, and unfortunately, there are no caucuses to game in the general election!

Hey tluvoo Cindy McCain can spend whatever she wants on her wardrobe it is after all her money....

T, this 15min claim isn't Obama's, it's McCain's.

Ok, fine. I dont care who claims it really...Im just finding it hard to be true.

If Obama had an impact on it by his communication, Id have expected a much smoother upward slope. Basic logic and math here...not a partisan claim.

Maybe you've been asleep the past few months but Obama's donors haven't been complacent at any point in his campaign. You do realize that the Obama campaign has to date raised over $339 million dollars to McCains $145 million?
