I apologize if this has already been blogged, but this is really good news!
It looks like the withering attacks from John McCain and his evil sidekick, have backfired! Sarah Palin really has energized the base, only it was Obama's base!
The Huffington Post is reporting that Barack Obama raised a record amount of cash during the month of September.
I don't know about you, but every time I hear the words "maverick" or "terrorist", I make a mental note to donate. It seems that others felt the same:
One official close to the campaign said that September's fundraising haul set a new record, surpassing the $66 million Obama raised in August. Another aide, asked about the campaign's take, would only describe it: "big."
Moreover, Obama's internal polling numbers reflect rising negatives for John McCain.
Following the most recent spat of negative ads, they say, McCain's unfavorable rating has gone over 50 percent, notably higher than anything detected in recent public polling.
Gov. Sarah Palin is faring just as poorly if not worse. In New Hampshire, an official with knowledge of internal polling says the Alaska Republican's favorable rating has nosedived to 36 percent, with 56 percent viewing her unfavorably.
In more good news, the article goes on to say that we can expect the Obama campaign to go after the Republicans for their efforts to exclude voters and their smear campaign against ACORN.
Obama's communication's shop is expected to go on the offense on issues of voter protection after a week in which Republicans cried foul about registration efforts in various states and painted the community organizing group ACORN as a criminal enterprise.
Obama aides will attack Republicans over efforts to disenfranchise voters in several states, and announce a voter protection campaign involving hundreds of volunteer lawyers around the country.
It’s so bemusing, when you catch Republicans race baiting then they accuse you of playing a card. Conversely, while upholding time-honored traditions of faith and good citizenship, they are more than willing to silence all opposition at the ballot box. When Republicans say "country first", I'm beginning to wonder whose country do they mean?
Please be sure to donate to Barack Obama, the DNC, and the downstream campaign of your choice.
