Default Obama wins latest fund-raising round

The new quarterly numbers are in, and Obama beat Clinton 32M to 27M. Many expected this because of the large base developed by Obama. In previous cycles, many of Clinton's donors maxed out to the legal limit for a primary campaign. Many of Obama's contributors donated in small amounts, so they could come back and give again. The resulting media coverage of Obama's fundraising success could give him a boost in the polls.

I generally find him likeable and interesting. However, I am not a fan.

The more I find out about Romney, the creepier and creepier the guy gets.

Unless he gets shot, I think Obama is the next president. If tradesports would give you interest on your money I'd probably wager on him right now.

Alot of people are speculating Clinton lowballed her memo and expect her to raise over $35m so it should be interesting. Either way, great take for Obama and he will easily beat her in Primary money now twice, which was unthinkable 6 months ago.
