Obama raised big corporate money at the start
This is why Obama is where he is. The same as with Hillary.

Obama started in the top tier because he had raised the big bucks at the start.

All the nonsense about racism getting him there is Bologna.

Now that he is there we will see some major racism come into this election. This election is going to get very dirty.

2. How does money help voters decide?
No, it was Obama's message and good ground organization.

4. He's winning because his message is CHANGE
That is the most appealing thing about this campaign.

PERIOD.

7. It worked for George W. Bush. And he was a Washington outsider, as well.

He was also a unifier, not a divider.

Plus ca change ... .

5. I am so sick of this campaign!
Since when does the color of one's skin decide if you are fit to be president? Barack Obama has all the credientials to be an effective President no matter if his skin color was purple with green polka dots. I really thought our country was beyond this racial thing. Boy was I wrong!!! At one time I had considered voting for Hillary, but she has certainly turned me off with her nasty campaign. She, and her surrogates, have a way of turning their nasty retoric and actions into making people believe that they are the victims. I have come to the conclusion that if the super delegates don't give their votes to the candidate who is ahead in the delegate count, I will sit out this election. If Hillary is behind in pledged delegates and gets the nomination, there would be no difference between McCain and Clinton, so why vote? Afterall, they both have a "lifetime of experience."

6. true as to funding and starting in first tier - but also true is the demographic fact
of large loyal Dem AA populations in various states needed to be changed from pro-Hillary to pro- Obama, which Iowa accomplished, and then into a defenders against racism block voting 90/10 for Obama - which Obama race card playing by constantly claiming what his supporters do doesn't matter while what Hillary's do does when that supporter is just stating a demographic truth about Dem primaries, or is stating the facts about his war votes 2004 to date, or is using a standard basketball camp coaches term for faking out the person guarding you, etc,. etc.

Of course the above is not the "egregious recent conduct" that is being discussed by those in control of our politics - better we should smear Hillary and keep that 90% rising.
