Chicago, IL- The Obama for America campaign today announced that it will report raising at least $25 million from more than 100,000 people in the first quarter of 2007, with at least $23.5 million eligible to be spent in the Democratic primary.
"This overwhelming response, in only a few short weeks, shows the hunger for a different kind of politics in this country and a belief at the grassroots level that Barack Obama can bring out the best in America to solve our problems," said Obama for America Finance Chair Penny Pritzker.
The Obama campaign raised $6.9 million over the Internet from more than 50,000 donors.
I'm glad to see that Obama is still maintaining is status as a heavyweight.
What made you question his heavyweight status?
No questions rock, just a wrong turn of words on my part, of course the man is a heavyweight, no doubt about it!
Wow.
Obama's taking a full day to decide that it was OK to say that homosexuality was not ipso facto immoral belied a certain featherweight status -- and so did dithering around over his supporter David Geffen's rather nasty, if piercingly accurate, attack on the Clintons. But these numbers put those early qualms to rest, baby! That's why Fidel's first formulation was actually right on point.
Sorry, should have written "betrayed", not "belied".
