Obama giveth:
Obama list has long been seen as a political gold mine for Democrats. Obama’s campaign raked in around $500 million through email and online donations in the 2012 cycle alone, according to media reports.
Allies of the likely Democratic nominee say having the list will help their ability to connect to Obama’s diverse network of donors, though they were also careful to note that Clinton’s own fundraising network is a strong one.
“The best email list is the one you build yourself,” one Clinton ally said. “But it doesn’t hurt. There’s data they can get from that, ways they can clean it up, there’s stuff that can help fill a void. The more resources that they piece together the better.”
Sources with knowledge of the list said the data, which was compiled during the 2008 campaign and then expanded upon in the 2012 election cycle, includes approximately 20 million email addresses of supporters and donors.
For us Obama people, all the pieces are beginning to come together to begin the final push for a decision in 2016.
Folks, we've come a long way with our guy. Remember those early days back in January of 2006 when our guy was the most in demand surrogate in the mid-term? When we were first building our little network of young professionals? Man, those were interesting times. We were told it was not going to happen. Heh. Ahhh and then January of 2007 when we finally had something going and looking good. And then a rough, tough, hard fought battle to the very end in the primary. Most importantly, an absolutely flawless general election execution. A candidate of the first order. The best organization I've ever seen. My god, what a campaign! One for the ages.
Its time to start putting in for our former opponent. She's come a long way too and we should emulate the Chief in accepting her as a friend. As far as I'm concerned the hatchet was buried a long time ago. Now its time to put in the dough to prove it. Yes, I am especially talking to you Chicagoland and Bay Area.
