Out fundraising him. And whooping that booty on the campaign trail as well. He better get all his digs in now while Clinton and Obama are focusing more on each other.

A well orchestrated campaign by Ron Paul as a third party candidate could upset the whole apple cart for the Repukes and the Dumbocrats. Most of the folks I talk to would vote for NONE OF THE ABOVE, in a two party race.....

It won't be a problem in the general election. The GOP can threaten to pull the immunity from the telecoms who illegally spied on us. They can dredge through the skeletons in their cosset and find every corporate interest they have let off Scott free. They will raise trillions!

The Republican party is in shambles. At this point their only hope is that whoever we elect on the Democratic side really messes it up in their first four years in office.
True conservatives need to take back their party. Both parties have good ideas. We need to get our politicians to start looking at ideas for the idea itself and not for where it came from.

I believe McCain should choose Bobby Jindal as his running mate and insinuate he's in office four years and out. Resign in 3 1/2.
He will raise some dough ...

It would be pretty hypocritical for the King of Campaign Reform to pull in more $$.

don't worry, they will just access your bank account and take a contribution, it will be classified as national security.

here's a great site:
http://www.fec.gov/DisclosureSearch/mapApp.do
this site shows where all the money is coming from and who its going to.
one interesting note:
in donations under $200 (read: donations from normal americans) Obama has raised over $47 million.
meanwhile, clinton has only managed to raise over $18 million in donations under $200, and McCain has only managed to raise over $12 million in donations under $200.
so its clear who normal, hard-working americans are supporting.

Seem to remember when the fund money was greener and more abundant about 8 years ago for the republicans. Now the worm has turned and the crows are sqawking. The reason the money is flowing to the democrats is because this country wants a change and people are willing to pay for it.

http://vacuum-cleaner-reviews.com Much to the displeasure of his colleagues, Obama promoted an outside commission to handle Senate ethics complaints. Obama readily agreed to identify his bundlers. Unlike Clinton and Edwards, he has released his income tax returns. Perhaps most important, Obama has pledged to take public financing for the general election if he is the Democratic nominee and his Republican opponent will do the same.
