  • AxmxZ, on 07/17/2008, -3/+8The size of Obama's average contribution in June: $68 dollars.

    Let's hear the size of McCain's average contribution. I'm reckoning, somewhere in the quadruple digits.
    • Cuchanu, on 07/17/2008, -2/+3Oh yea, I don't pretend to get how they are doing it but he had that 60000 a plate dinner awhile back and that's gotta make those numbers go up.
  • skertso, on 07/17/2008, -4/+1No doubt McCain's average is much higher and that speaks loudly about the candidates.
  • Cuchanu, on 07/17/2008, -5/+9Money elects Republicans, people elect Democrats.

    Yes I know Obama has a ***** of money but it was given to him by millions of regular people. McCain's donors expect the favor to be returned.
    • ComeOutSwingin, on 07/18/2008, -0/+1I hope the individual donors get the favor returned.
  • Ridgeliner7, on 07/17/2008, -1/+2That $68 figure didn't come from Obama's campaign. It was the reporter's figure, averaging out the total dollars and total number of contributors, which the story didn't make clear.
    • jotate, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1The campaign sent an email out this morning with that $68 figure.
  • j4nj1m3n3z, on 07/17/2008, -0/+9According to cracked.com, I should digg this because the title says digg this.
    Dugg!
  • radiantarchon, on 07/17/2008, -1/+5because you told me to digg this i'm going to bury it. damn me and my contrarian ways
  • purplesawdust, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2I don't like being told what to do JohnAdams999.
  • B08ama, on 07/18/2008, -0/+1Given that Obama is raising loads more than McCain, I find the following very interesting. On the following page, scroll down to "Intrade - Live Quotes":
    http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/presi ...
    Notice how McCain is beating Obama $2.5 million to $2.1 million.
    • thefirstenemy, on 07/18/2008, -0/+11) Counting the Republican National Committee, Obama currently has less money than McCain.

      2) I wouldn't pay any attention to Intrade quotes on the election.
  • karn3022, on 07/18/2008, -1/+1McBama is a puppet for the same crowd who now pulls Bush's strings. The "change" message is as hollow and insulting as much as the "Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran" tune. Obama wants to set up a program The opposition party does not have the answers simply because the party in power is does not!

    Obama being socialist and McCain a fascist agree that they know what is best for everyone else and the rest of the world.

    Look up the meaning of freedom!
