[...] “over $200″ bit is skewing the results, it does — but in McCain’s favor. Over 90% of Obama’s donations are less than $100 dollars, so if we were to factor in sub-$200 donations the rift would likely be far [...]

Tor–

Here are Obama’s policies. The Obama camp created an entire category on the site just on the issues:
http://www.barackobama.com/issues

I particularly like these:
http://www.barackobama.com/issues/technology

The idea is that you get inspired, you go to the website, and then you understand what he stands for.

P.S. Props to the Obama camp for making it easier to embed videos straight from their site.

We say the same thing about George Bush 8 years ago. You can all see the outcome of voting for likeability instead of policy. Besides, How many of you here truly know what Obama stands for? you just believe all he told you line and sinker. Did you check the fact?

What is change? Positive or negative? check all the story about what he said and what the real truth is?

Great story — now can someone please look at the policies of the politician instead of the story about the man?

@10 There is no way I am going to install something like this, unless I know who you are and what you do. For all we know this is just a spyware and you are using the enthusiasm of supporters to install your crap.

Prediction: McCain gets the Republican nomination, further dividing the GOP. A crazy social conservative runs as an independent, fracturing the vote. The Dems walk the election.

Obama has erased Hillary’s huge lead in the national polls. This thing may not even be decided after tomorrow.

Pretty impressive! I guess politicians from other countries can take a lesson from such online branding initiatives. Especially in countries like India where the youth is connected online this could work in a big way!

Jenkins, was Bush experienced? Ha ha good one. In the case he was, the last 8 years were a good example for giving somebody more inexperienced a chance.

And voting for a rebulblican doesn’t bring out the mess this country is in right now and if you gonna ask “what mess?” I feel sorry for you.

Ron Paul is a serious dude and you’re right. The media seems to want to avoid talking about him. He’s as substantive as anyone else and much more experienced that Obama.

“Last Thursday the Barack Obama (who we have endorsed as the Democratic candidate for president)…”

Hey, I thought the endorsement was for “Tech” President (wink, wink).

Ron Paul is getting stronger. Surpassed his $5 million goal by Feb. 5th.
He also has come come in second in 3 states now. The media does it’s best to sweep this under the rug.

If Obama wins I’ll vote for Mccain. I cannot vote for someone as liberal as Obama or as inexperienced. I do think he will be president someday and he may even get my vote but it won’t be this year.

… anybody but Hellary!
I knew I would have to deal with this sooner or later, Hellary!
I thought that she had forgotten about us, but the $44 billion deal was too much for her to ignore. She called yesterday and said, “Congratulations on this whopper of a deal Mr. Ballmer, however the people have some concerns! Microsoft, Yahoo, Yahoo, Microsoft, the people of our great country are in just a great sense of concern about this deal. The people need reassurances in these times of murkiness and doubt, the peoples minds are …”
I was getting annoyed so I interupted and said, “let’s just cut to the quick Ms Clinton, you want campaign contributions or you will set up congressional inquiries and hold up our progress!”
I could hear the excitement in her voice as she replied:
“The people do appreciate it when large corporations support the leaders that they support, in such cases the people have a tendency to be lenient in regulating such companies.”
I sighed, then feigned enthusiasm and said, “The people will get what the people deserve, will ten do?”
She slowly said, “ten wiil be fine, you are a most generous man!”
I gushed, “Anything for the people.”
I could tell that she wanted to say more but I just hung up the phone on her (I love doing that).

I called in the secretary and instructed her, “Cut the Clinton Campaign a check for Ten Dollars!”

It will be a few weeks before she calls back about the “misunderstanding”, but at least I have a few weeks free of this blood sucker!

His supporters may be more willing to stick their hands in their pockets, but alot still feel Clinton will become the Democratic candidate for President. That seems to be how most British political commentators see it over here. Hope they’re wrong, though.

He’s raised plenty of money, but he needs more support - if you’re a fan, go to obamaanywhere.com. I’ve developed a technology to help spread Barack’s message and get out the vote by allowing the posting of comments, photos, and videos all over the web. Help out the cause by signing up!

Getting pretty sick of the US Election. Can’t the rest of the world get a break from it? I vote for more tech news and less political agenda. It’s obnoxious.
