[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 336888, member: 9859"] McCain wealthy backers will spend hundreds of millions of dollars running "Rev. Wright" ads and other such garbage, and then the corporate media will rerun their ads for free, over and over, just like they reran the Swift Boat Liars' smears of John Kerry. John McCain is an unpleasant and unappealing turkey of a politician who cannot inspire large numbers of ordinary people to make campaign contributions the way Obama can. That is Obama's advantage over McCain and the military-corporate-media complex that supports McCain. Obama should use that advantage and let the Wall Street Journal hacks whine all they want about Obama's FAIR advantage over McCain in fund-raising ability. At least it's a change from the increasingly tiresome and increasingy racist hit pieces about the Rev. Wright. Okay - so lets say 79 billionaires raised $200,000 each. That means that they raised around $18 million. And Obama has taken in $240 million plus. So, that would mean that the billionaires raised less than 8% of his total - and the other 92%+ came from people who are not billionaires - Okay. That's fine with me...50% of his financing came from people who have given less than $200. Let's compare apples to apples here - the way they wrote the story is a little disingenuous and made it sound like the billionaires raised a lot more than they did. Not to mention your talking individuals and employees. Less than 8% of his financing came from these super-rich billionaires and 50% has come from people who gave less than $200. Any way you slice it - he has well over a MILLION donors. :peaceful: If Democrats manage to lose this election, I just might join you in that 3rd party. [/QUOTE]
