Why the fuck do you guys still respond to Trinity? Don't you know she'd just kinda go away if you stopped responding to her ridiculous threads? Is it like crack? Are you addicted?

That is all.

Only $11 million gain in cash on hand for Obama

While John McCain can only spend $84 million over the next two months after accepting that much from the public-financing system, it doesn’t cost him a dime to get it. The Obama campaign’s burn rate will be critical in determining whether he’s actually raising enough money to keep him ahead of McCain. If it costs him more than $20 million to raise that money, it’s essentially a wash — and the burn rate at Team O has been much higher than 30%. Their cash-on-hand numbers will probably tell a different story, as Obama would have to almost double McCain’s $84 million over the next two months just to stay even.

Byron York quotes the campaign as having $77 million cash on hand after August. That sounds impressive, but they had almost $66 million at the end of July. They had a burn rate of over 80%, which explains why the campaign may have seemed desperate to the New York Times. In order to make this decision work for Obama, they have to do better than $66 million a month if they want to cover the cost of fundraising as well as make up for the deficit between the DNC and the RNC. - Hot Air

Not so fast =) You might want to read the news today Trinity;
Obama raises $66 million in August - First Read - msnbc.com

Obama now has $77M on hand; that's less than $7M away from the MOST McCain will see for the rest of the election. I'm sure McCain is having second thoughts on public financing now.. LMAO

This is now the LARGEST fund raising month for any candidate in the HISTORY of the U.S.

He's going to need every cent. Those nasty fuckers that slimed Kerry are about to do it again.

Group With Swift Boat Alumni Readies Ads Attacking Obama

A new group financed by a Texas billionaire and organized by some of the same political operatives and donors behind the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth campaign against Sen. John F. Kerry in 2004 plans to begin running television ads attacking Barack Obama, a signal that outside groups may play a larger role than anticipated in the closing days of the presidential race.

Yeah, but they don't have the swiftboat chief financier T. Boone Pickens. You won't be able to compare these ads with that of T. Boone. T. Boone is pushing his energy plan and wants supports from both parties so he has publicly stated that he not intervening in this election cycle.

Funny how issues can quiet the peanut gallery...

According to BBC World News this evening, Obama raised $66M in the month of August which is his highest ever. If these are woes, then I don't know what the definition of joy is.

Obama and DNC are not keeping pace with McCain and the RNC.

Presidential candidates in a general election have typically relied on two main sources of money: public financing, along with additional money their parties raise. In choosing to accept the public money, the McCain campaign now gets an $84 million cash infusion from the United States Treasury. Mr. McCain is barred from raising any more money for his own campaign coffers but can lean on money raised by the Republican National Committee, which has continued to exceed expectations.

(The Obama Campaign )finished July with slightly less cash on hand with the Democratic National Committee compared with Mr. McCain and the R.N.C. The Obama campaign has also been spending heavily, including several million more than the McCain campaign in advertising in August. - The New York Times

Obama has to spend money to make money. He also has to do heavy fundraising in the process of campaigning to get it. Just to keep up with McCain and the RNC. Obama has to do better than $66 million (his goal was 100 million) just to make it even and that was his best fundraising month.

Ugh, I don't know if that is good or bad. Most Americans aren't too keen on what the world thinks of us.

I haven't spammed anything. I posted a new posts with different comments and quoted from the same articles to support my statements.

Cash on hand is not the same as money in the bank or money tied up in assets or prospective loans.

I just thought I'd point this out. I don't expect anyone to have $11 Million IN CASH in their back pocket as Trinity and her article are saying. Or do they not know the difference between BASIC economic terms?
