*******Obama Hits 1.5 Million Donors***********

[DerekJ]

This isn't a fundraising list -- it’s a Political Party

2:12 A.M. EST Tuesday May 6th.
Those bloody activists.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

1. GOBama!!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[chknltl]

2. I am proud to be a member of the Obama Party

GO AMERICA!!!

[dkf]

3. Ooh, the Obama party. I like!

Actually I AM part of the Obama party as one of its 1.5 million donors...

[jasmine621]

105. That is precisely what will sink him in the GE. Nothing matters but Obama.

And that will wear very thin. Anything that Obama has been saying has been said before and much more authentically by Jesse Jackson in '84 and '88. Unity (rainbow coalition) ("the people untied can never be defeated"), hope (keep hope alive), change, grassroots ( voter registration), anti-war. Big difference was that Jesse actually did something, risked his life, actually negotiated with our enemies, was not afraid to speak out against the double standard concerning Israel and the Palestinians, actually negotiated with big corporations for equal opportunity. Now we have someone who is less frightening to whites (mabe because his mom was white) but who speaks in platitude without actions and is a mirage of himself. The voters are swayed thanks to the media help and hype. I really hope Obama is more than the mirage that I see through.

[roseBudd]

114. Nope, nothing matters but the 1.5 million donors and the millions of supporters who support Obama

It is about we, we aren't waiting for mommy to blow on our boo boo and say she'll make it all better with a lollypop

[tavalon]

133. He is

Watch his speech about race from March 19th. He's substance and he's gracious and he fights like a mofo, just in a very understated way. I was neutral until that day and I became an Obama supporter that day and I haven't looked back since.

[Yael]

128. That was a Carville crack -- and it was hilarious

Video is in the Video forum if you want to see it. Cracked me up.

"1.2 Million donors isn't a fundraising list -- its a political party".

:rofl:

[lcdnumber6]

37. Add me to the Party!

I try not to get too worked up anymore on pre-primary nites like this one. Just tryin' to visualize that Mr. O brings it home. Lisa

[chknltl]

51. Wise council from an elder member of DU

Who knows what tomorrow will bring? Yes, I believe that our lil party of HOPE has room for more...not that this is my party, it is OUR party and we are taking it all the way to the White House! The Party of HOPE can say such things AND feel good about it in the morning imo.

(Wow, less than a hundred posts since Lincoln was President Icdnumber6!!!!...I am...well... : flattered!)

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

78. This should have more than 38 recommends

don't ya think?

[chknltl]

118. It got 98 votes so far! Not a single crossover chaos vote either!

Credit where credit is due! ::):

[lcdnumber6]

100. hehe, yes I'm the ultimate lurker

I have no stomach to get into pissing matches at DU, but I can try to bring some positive energy to this forum. I'm taking a week off in between jobs, so my post count may go triple-digit depending on what happens today! Lisa

[bhikkhu]

4. Great news! And I'm happy to be one of the 1.5 Million!

I have never had a great deal of money and this is the first time I have contributed to a campaign - though my recollections go back to Nixon/McGovern. A great way to ring in the day to come...

[DerekJ]

5. He made it...

:woohoo:

[hokies4ever]

6. It'll be mentioned in his victory speech tomorrow

And the MSM will be forced to cover it, much to their dismay.

[gateley]

103. I'd love to see him run an ad

with James Carville saying that line about the political party! Oooooh, that would feel so good!

[David Zephyr]

7. And I'm one of those 1.5 million. Now this is true public financing.

Obama is the one. Thanks for the great news.

[lapfog_1]

8. What did Carville say about this?

"1 million donors isn't a mailing list, it's a political party!"

(I wonder what he thinks about 1.5 million DONORS!)

[DerekJ]

16. Obama has 1.2 million donors ..This isn't a fundraising list -- it’s a Political Party

[FrenchieCat]

9. Yes, We Did!

:woohoo:

Brand New Obama Video Song to celebrate by!

LYRICS-
Now's the time for all good men
to get together with one another.
We got to iron out our problems
and iron out our quarrels
and try to live as brothers.

And try to find a piece of land
without stepping on one another.
And do respect the women of the world?
Remember you all have mothers.

We got to make this land a better land
than the world in which we live.
And we got to help each man be a better man
with the kindness that we give.

I know we can make it, I know that we can.
I know darn well we can work it out.

Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, oh why can't we?
If we wanna, yes we can can

I know that we can make it work,
I know we can make it if we try.

and yes we can, I know we can can,
yes we can can

Good Gosh AlMighty

and yes we can, I know we can, can

And we gotta take care of all the children,
the little children of the world.
'cause they're our strongest hope for the future,
the little bitty boys and girls.

We got to make this land a better land
than the world in which we live.
And we got to help each man be a better man
with the kindness that we give.

I know we can make it, I know that we can
I know darn well we can work it out.

Oh yes we can, I know we can can
yes we can can, why can't we?
If we wanna, yes we can can.

I know we can make it work,
I know that we can make if we try

Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can, and yes we can can

I know we can make it, I know that we can
I know darn well we can work it out.

Oh yes we can, I know we can can
yes we can can, why can't we?
If we wanna, yes we can can.

I know we can make it work,
I know we can make it if we try

Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can,
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we?
If we wanna, yes we can can
and yes we can, I know we can can
why can't we? If we wanna, yes we can can

If we only try....sometimes its hard
Sometimes its hard, sometimes its hard.

Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we?
If we wanna, yes we can can

I know we can make it, I know darn well we can work it out.
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, if we get together,
we can work it out.

Now's the time for people to come together as an equal
Take the burden off your brother
gotto love one another
There are so many needs, and so many poor,
but love and understanding is the key to the goal

How can you sit there
like there's nothin' to do,
Just like you just don't care what your world is gonna do, Lawd!

Like people say,
No matter how hard,
If there's a will, there's a way

I know we can make it, I know that we can
I know darn well we can work it out.

Oh yes we can, Yes we can can?
If there's a will there's a way

The DNC sent me an email a couple of days ago for a donation, and I responded.....

I am donating ONLY to Obama right now. Once he has the nomination, I will be happy to donate ALSO to the DNC. I put them on notice--no money without Obama.

[AlinPA]

74. How can Clinton insult these donors? If she does take the nomination with a nuclear option,

these supporters will just go away.

[eagertolearn]

94. Not this time...we will all hit the streets I'm sure! n/t

[livetohike]

76. I knew it would happen

Now where are those April fund raising totals. Probably won't be released until after today's primary. The Clinton campaign doesn't want to embarrass themselves.

[TeamJordan23]

96. This is larger than 12 states and some countries.

An Obama aide points out that's larger than the population of 12 states, as well as Estonia, Trinidad & Tobago, Swaziland, Qatar, and Djibouti. They're closing on Latvia.

[DerekJ]

97. Interesting way of putting it.

:)

[bdamomma]

98. very good, it's nice to know since I contributed.

[ClayZ]

107. Kick

[dollydew]

108. Cool

I wonder where all of that money's coming from? Obama being pure and all I'm sure it's all clean. When any other candidate raises that money it must be dirty. About that slum lord Rezko guy that Obama doesn't know that raised money for him. Except he knew him for years. And didn't step in when he screwed over poor black people.

[dollydew]

112. I'm happy for the monthly donations

Screw poor blacks!

[mcollier]

115. several hundred dollars

from me. and a million others like me. And Im giving more soon because I want change I can believe in...

Glad you liked "The Obama Crowd"

110. Wonderful. I joined the 1.5 million

in January, and I've signed up for a monthly donation.

[KSinTX]

116. Wooooooo

Feels good that my first presidential donation yesterday was a part of a massive movement.
:)

Can't wait to celebrate victory with the rest of you guys!

[EmeraldCityGrl]

117. INTRADE Predicts...

Many political observers are aware of Intrade and the outstanding predictive record the traders there have. Furthermore, those that do know about their track record also know that they tend to see trends well before the media and pollsters do. For those that aren’t familiar, Intrade is an electronic market where people can take out futures contracts based on their belief that an event will or won’t happen in the future. Real Clear Politics was one of the first to incorporate this data into their polling pages.

Let's see what they have to say regarding OBAMA

Barack Obama to be Democratic Presidential Nominee in 2008

Last Price: 77.9 1.0

You can buy
this at 77.9

You can sell
this at 77.8

( Indicates a 77.9 % chance of OBAMA becoming the Democratic Presidential Nominee in 2008 )

OBAMA to win in NC 94.3% which makes Indiana irrelevant.
