Default Obama Raises $7.8 Million on one Sunday

Obama raised a whopping $7.8 million in a series of events Sunday in San Francisco, a key fundraiser for the Democrat said.

Once again, Obama is doing things with his organization that McCain couldn't dream of doing.

It's a proven fact (spin it how you want, but an intelligent person can't deny it): Obama is much stronger at running a large organization than McCain.

Overall, the fact the Obama's campaign organization is ABSOLUTELY KILLING McCain's organization, across the board, shows that Obama has the superior skills to run the executive branch (which requires the management of large groups, which is Obama's key strength), and McCain is just not prepared for the job (if he was, his campaign organization would at least come close to Obama in fundraising, which it has not).

Voters for McCain Please consider changing your vote, as we don't want a man who can't even run a successful fundraising campaign to be handed an even more challenging job (if he can't even out-fundraise a minority whose name rhymes with "Osama", it's safe to say he has very poor people management skills). McCain, with his organization being dominated by Obama's, has clearly proven that he lacks the ability to manage large groups of people (and that's the most important job of a POTUS).

I realize for some, voting for a Democrat is scary. But you've got to ignore the party nonsense (Democrats and Republicans are really on the same team anyway, and are just trying to create issues to make themselves distinct), and vote for Obama because he's better suited to manage the nation we love, and help bring us peace and prosperity.

Also, McCain is just to old and slow-minded for such a demanding position. Obama has a very sharp mind (top of his class at Harvard, while McCain was at the bottom of his class at a much easier school, the Navy Academy), and because of his relative youth, he's a quicker learner (which is so valuable because neither candidate has been POTUS before).

I realize that not ALL of Obama's ideas are great, but overall, he brings a much stronger skill-set to the table.

I'll try to find a link but on the news the other day they said more active military was donating to Obama than McCain. He should use that in his stump speech if true.

edit, here one:

Military donations favor Obama over McCain

Associated Press - August 15, 2008 3:33 AM ET

WASHINGTON (AP) - John McCain may be the one with the lauded military record, but according to a nonpartisan group, Barack Obama is the one raking in more cash from military donors.

A Center for Responsive Politics report says Obama has gotten more donations of at least $200 from members of the military than McCain. Donations coming from troops serving abroad are even more lopsided in Obama's favor -- he's outraised McCain 6-1 there.

McCain's campaign says he's been "endorsed by more retired admirals and generals than Barack Obama has military donors."

They also expect to win the military vote in November, arguing troops overseas "are too busy" defending the country to donate money.

The report counts 859 members of the military donated more than $335,000 to Obama. McCain received more than $280,000 from 558 military donors.

I guess he could use Cheney, since Cheney feeds Bush the scripts for all of his answers.

Obama will likely raise way more than McCain from here on out - of course, McCain is also honoring his word on the agreement he and Obama had regarding public financing.

Obama raises money in Kooksville, CA and said that is supposed to prove something? It sure doesn't prove he's more capable of running an organization as you stated that's for sure.
