Obama Sets New Online Record
By Jose Antonio Vargas
Sen. Barack Obama has set a new online record, raising more than $28 million online in one month.
To put this into context, Howard Dean, known as the first Internet candidate, raised $27 million -- during his whole campaign.
A spokesman said $28 of the $32 million that Obama raised last month came over the Internet. Ninety percent of the online donations were $100 or less; forty percent were $25 or less.
In January, more than 10,000 people gave between $5 and $10 on the Internet, he said.

The tides of time change. This is no fluke. I was part of history last month and I will certainly be part of that history in the future.
Not just 32 Million Dollars... not just 1/2 a million people donating...
The key is over 250,000 new people donated to the cause.
This thread may not get a lot of attention but it is another indicator of the level of support - both monetarily and politically Obama has. We are ONE and we are going to change this together.

Please stop shouting (ALL CAPS!).
Besides, your False Flag trickery would be more effective if you used more subtlety. Nice try, though.

BEWARE !!!!
TO THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE FRIENDS OR RELATIVES THAT ARE ILLEGAL!
CLINTON OPPOSES ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS DRIVER'S LICENSE!
IF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT GIVEN DRIVER'S LICENSES THEY WILL BE FORCED
TO BREAK THE LAW!
AND SINCE IT IS A CRIME TO BREAK THE LAW, IF CAUGHT YOU ARE EXEMPT FROM
A PATH TO CITIZENSHIP!
THIS WILL FOREVER BAN YOU FROM BEING A U.S. CITIZEN!
THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO DEPORT YOU!
OBAMA BELIEVES THAT THOSE WHO BLAME IMMIGRANTS FOR JOB LOSSES AND LOW WAGES
ARE USING LATINOS AS SCAPEGOATS. CLINTON ON THE OTHER HAND BELIEVES THAT LATINOS ARE
IN PART RESPONSIBLE FOR JOB LOSSES AND LOW WAGES.
OBVIOUSLY OBAMA IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR LATINOS IF YOU WANT TO STOP THE BLAME ON LATINOS!
SAY NO TO THE SCAPEGOATING!
SI SE PUEDE! SI SE PUEDE! SI SE PUEDE!
