Re: Obama: Amazing Money Machine (none / 0)

His biggest and best demographic is with the youth, exit poll after exit poll show this, it would be illogical to think this isn't the case in comparison to Hillary.

Ron Paul raised $20mn in 24 hours I believe. The fact is, that students are willing to give $20mn is a crazy right wing nut, they are more than crazy enough to give to Obama.

At some point, his "change" and "hope" rhetoric will die, probably in the same way Deval Patrick's did when in office.

Voters and donors don't necessarily match up.

I rather doubt that most of Clinton's donations come from non-college educated women with incomes under $50,000.


We care about politics because we know politics matters for people's lives and opportunities.

Good point!


Guess I HR'd someone that I shouldn't have (wish I knew who/how/why, but no admin will talk to me). Have a positive thought instead.

"On condition of anonymity, one Washington lobbyist I spoke with was willing to point out the obvious: that big donors would not be helping out Obama if they didn't see him as a "player." The lobbyist added: "What's the dollar value of a starry-eyed idealist?""


Universal healthcare IS a core Democratic value
Without a REAL committment to it, we WON'T win in November.
