Obama sent this out in an email to supporters today:
In less than three months, a staggering 100,000 Americans have contributed to our cause — tens of thousands more than the number reported by any other campaign. That’s on top of the hundreds of thousands who have attended rallies, started groups and shared their ideas and […]
Political Insider says that the Hotline (the subscription only version) has calculated that: “Assuming the Dem WH field pulled in $70M over the past Q, that means they collectively raised cash at a rate of about $778K/day, $32K/hour, or $9/second.” That’s assuming Obama’s numbers are around 20M, I believe (although they have yet to officially […]
ABC News:
Sen. Hillary Clinton’s campaign announced today it has raised $26 million in the first quarter of 2007. $4.2 million of that was raised on the Internet.
The campaign will actually report $36 million in fundraising because of a transfer to her presidential account of the $10 million that was left in her Senate campaign account […]
From the new Fox News/ODC poll:
By 67 percent to 22 percent, American voters think the Democrats are going to win the 2008 presidential election. Fully 90 percent of Democrats think their party is going to be victorious and 60 percent of independents agree. Among Republicans, 44 percent think Democrats will win the White House and […]
In these final hours of frantic fundraising before the first fundraising quarter of the 2008 elections per the FEC is over, candidates are sending emails out to their email lists asking supporters if they can spare a few more dollars before the midnight deadline.
Although the full fundraising and expenditure reports from each campaign are not […]
By the way, you might be interested in a new piece I just wrote for BradBlog. It’s about how some of the US Attorney firings and replacements could potentially have a big impact on the 2008 Presidential election. Here’s a preview…
When Justice Department and White House officials first tried to explain the US Attorney firings, […]
The Rudy 2008 campaign unveiled their newly redesigned website today. Despite a substantial facelift, the new website still does not mention that Mr Giuliani has two children, or his colorful past. The only wife of his it mentions is his current one, Judith Nathan. I mentioned this phenomenon in a piece I wrote for Truthout.org […]
Newsweek’s Clift wonders if a divorce (or two) hurts a candidate, especially with evangelical voters. Giuliani has had a divorce and an annulment (now on his third wife), McCain has had a divorce (now on his second wife), and if Gingrich gets into the race, he’ll have had two divorces (and on his third wife).
Evangelical […]
Hey, I just wanted to encourage everbody to check out my latest piece over at Truthout.org. The subject is Rudy Giuliani, and how if the Republican party chooses him as their nominee, it would make history because he’s totally unlike any other candidate they’ve ever had. Here’s a teaser:
America’s mayor or not, some of the […]
CLINTON:
“The buck should stop somewhere and the attorney general — who still seems to confuse his prior role as the president’s personal attorney with his duty to the system of justice and to the entire country — should resign… I’m deeply disturbed by what we have learned thus far and I join those who are […]
Senator Chris Dodd wants you to watch videoblogging of his The Daily Show appearence tonight. Go appease him. Watch it at 11 on Comedy Central, although apparently they’ve already taped it.
Shakes has the dirt on Ron Paul Chuck Hagel, despite his non-annoucement today. (Thanks to Winston in the comments for the correction because I apparently can’t read.)
The following is a scrapped intro to my next Truthout article.
A remarkably diverse field of 8 Republicans are trying to defy history by becoming the next Commander-in-Chief.
Perhaps “diverse” is not quite the correct word to use. At a time when the group of Democrats seeking their party’s nomination are unquestionably the most diverse in history, […]
Here’s the letter the Nevada Demoratic Party sent to Fox News executive producer in charge of politics tonight, formally declaring the cancellation of their debate:
Dear Marty,
A month ago, the Nevada Democratic Party entered into a good faith agreement with Fox News to co-sponsor a presidential debate in August.
This was done because the Nevada Democratic Party […]
DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE. Ahahahah sweet victory is ours!
Okay a bit of background here. Fox News was planning on hosting a Demcratic Presidential primary debate in August in Nevada. A really poor choice, according to pretty much everybody here. If they host one of our debates, they’ll be able to ask any […]
