Is Obama running out of money?

Question

Obama is running out of money fast. He out spent contributions by a wide margin and only a trickle of money if coming in from his supporters. Democrat pundits are worried that now it looks like McCain/Palin will win and lobbyist money, so important to Obama, will dry up too. Should he have opted for public finance money?

Answer 1

He got $10 million after Sarah's speech last night, that tells me the Democrats are afraid.

I am tired of hearing about Sarah's mean attacks, they were perfectly in line with the speeches I heard at the DNC, so quit being hypocrits.

Answer 2

Do you really think anyone will believe this story you just made up?  Once again...no link to a source.  

I'm embarrassed that you are a fellow Illinois resident.

Answer 3

Obama is running his campaign exactly the way he would run our government, completely in to the ground.

Answer 4

He has the richest woman  in the world on his side(Oprah). Not to mention some other wealthy folks that  would love to have him  "owe "them.The show people love him, because that is all he is . a bunch of showmanship,with Zero substance. He has done nothing as a state senator and would do less then that as a president.If he was paid by his accomplishments,He would be in the same welfare lines as the the folks in the communities he supposedly helped.I can't wait until I see Obama back in Illinois;on the ramp to an expressway cleaning windshields for spare change. or sleeping under a bridge with pigeon p**p in his hair.If he can't budget his campaign, how can he budget the country?

Answer 5

Did you make that up all by yourself or did mom help?

Answer 6

Obama has raised more than $400 million for his presidential campaign. He has raised about $80 million a month for his campaign and the Democratic National Committee, which puts him about $100 million ahead of the Republicans.

Interesting to note too, the Obama campaign took in $10 million last night alone after scary Sarah Palin's speech.

Answer 7

You must not been reading the news.

He's loaded with contributions.

In fact, he just raised another ten million.

Also, Obama leads McCain in military donations, 6-1

Answer 8

Obama's coffers have been filling since Sarah Palin attacked him repeatedly in St. Paul last night.

An Obama aide confirms Drudge's report that Obama has raised about $8 million from more than 130,000 donors and was on pace to raise $10 million by the time McCain took the stage tonight.

UPDATE: Obama spokesman Bill Burton says, "And we fully expect John McCain's attacks tonight to help us make our grass-roots organization even stronger "Sarah Palin's attacks have rallied our supporters in ways we never expected.."

Answer 9

He will be fine, there will always be left wing loons who will send him money as long as he keeps the kool aid flowing. How sad otherwise intelligent people can be so dumb.

Answer 10

well, a crack addiction can burn through your funds pretty quickly.
