I realize as a Republican, you dont know what oversight is, but he doesnt actually have that money in his own personal account.

$600 million(most in election history I believe) and he isn't way ahead?

Do any Obama supporters find it strange with all the good ideas and hope and CASH that Obama has he isn't beating McCain hands down???

Also does anyone wonder WHERE the money came from?

Barack Obama's skin color is why he isnt way ahead.

From millions of people who donate an average of $90. Last month alone, he received donations from 600,000 new donors.

This is what they were talking about on tv the other day. The problem is with all the money Obama has spent he should have a huge over 20% lead. Basically he is to much of a radical and to far left.

LOL...of course,the fallback position that race is keeping him down.

Why won't Obama's campaign release information on those donating less than $250???

Nope. It all boils down to people being uncomfortable with his skin. All this radical talk is nonsense. He and Hillary Clinton are similar in the issues but because he is a black man with a foreign name, it scares the willys out of people who already harbor feelings of xenophobia and racism.

And McCain/Palin have been exploiting that beautifully-since they cant really talk about the issues.

For a black man to win in this racist nation, he better damn well raise $600 Million. Hell, maybe we can throw him another $100 Million before election day. He'll need every penny to fight the hatred and lies from the other side.

Sad but all true.

Please, your full of crap.

There are polls that indicate race is an issue. Dont deny it, admit it so we can try to deal with it.

$605 million dollars and breaking records. It does not look like America is in a TRUE economic crisis, yet with all this money floating around.

I think America is merely in a banking/foreclosure crisis and high gas crisis that is causing inflation and closure of businesses.
