Obama has now raised $6.3 million in about 28 hours.
That's just under a quarter million dollars an hour. Looks like people are determined not to let Hillary get away with the Romney gambit.

1. He'll need it -- he's set the record for campaign salaries
Feb. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Barack Obama spent $20.3 million on staff salaries last year, the biggest payroll for any presidential candidate, as he built an organization in Iowa, New Hampshire and other early primary states, according to a new analysis of campaign finance filings.

2. And yet, Clinton's the one who's losing and $6.8 million in debt.
I guess there really is something to the notion of investing in the best people.

3. She's not losing -- how do you figure she's losing
She has more delegates and super delegates. That would be called winning.

6. Is that the new meme?
There are times when desperation is so funny to watch and this is one of them.

7. Why always turn this into an anti- Hillary thing
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 01:46 AM by lamprey
Obama's record breaking fund raising shows that people want him to be president. This is support for Obama, what he stands for. People want the GOP out. They evidently want Obama as president. Demonizing Hillary is pointless.
