Ripper- Great damn idea! I can think of nothing that would overshadow McCain's rambling better than this headline "Palin rakes in $20 Million- For Obama."

Kudos to observer2 for pointing out the astounding $8 million haul so far since last night. Got to keep ahead of that pesky energized GOP base, ya know.

Me too, before I even saw this! I just got so pissed about the nastiness and hypocritical statements at the RNC and their accolites. Issues? Who needs issues? That's just for Democrats!
BTW, I just heard that McCain is giving a 50 MINUTE SPEECH!!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT! WILL ANYONE BE AWAKE AT THE END?
for sure I won't!
One question: If McCain dies before he election, is Palin the presumptive Presidential candidate, or would the RNC have to pick someone else. I'm only asking because McCain looks so feeble and dopey. My thought is that the RNC would have to elect another Pres. candidate, because there is no lawful succession as far as political parties are concerned.
OK, I just switched to "Ugly Betty" because I could not abide another republican tribute to 911 -- THEIR FIASCO -- which they claim to be their cause celebre!
Sorry, guys, I don't think I can watch McThusela tonight. I'll try, but I had to turn off Romney, Rudy, and eventually Sarah (because her voice is so grating and her words are so untrue) so I don't know if I can handle John McPOW tonight.

Dear Colleen,
Thank you for your generous donation of $100.00.
From the beginning, this campaign has been funded by supporters like you giving only what they can afford.
I donated my 100 dollars to the "I'll organize my community just fine without you, Sarah Palin" fund. Oh, make that the Obama campaign. I have never heard anyone speak so dismissively about volunteering!

I made my donation.
Then I went to Facebook and joined a new group: I Have More Foreign Policy Experience Than Sarah Palin.
Because I do. Can I be VP?

I gave $103.61 because I'm so effin' maverick.

Made a donation last night, and I'll match it tonight. We stop them!
Please also volunteer for the campaign.

Love the idea. I donated last night - Palin was a great motivator. There's a piece in Election Central that says Obama has now reached $10M in donations just since Palin's speech.

Retired senior (former teacher) on small fixed income.
Former Hillary supporter - now so proudly supporting Obama and Biden!!!
It would take charts and graphs to describe how ILL Sara Palin makes me! Even to the sound of her grating voice.
I can't remember seeing such a right wing NUT JOB puppet before.
Anyway, small fixed income be damned (and no health insurance - only Medicare A), I donated tonight after hearing McSame rattle on about NOTHING and his POW story AGAIN!!!
He really gives me the creeps. Dirty old man, IMO!
Sure hope I can give again in the future. Made me feel really great to do so!!

Killer idea, Ripper. I just donated (again). Let's show McCain the true meaning of grassroots. Let's teach these Republicans the true meaning of capitalism. Let's outspend these cretinous bastards 10 to 1.

Sent in $250 this am. $125 for me, $125 for dad.
September 5, 2008 1:30 AM | Reply | Permalink
I sent in $25. Modest, but a first for me. Seriously. I'd never ever donated to a candidate before - I've always donated to charities and organizations.
But Obama is getting me off the fence, and in his corner.

Cool, me too. I posted below before reading this.
The GOP convention the last two nights stank like Rovian-Bushy-Bullshit. I can't take any more of that. America can't. The world can't. It's time to stop typing and take some action.
Perhaps we can teach the GOP not to mock community organizing, by organizing them out of office!

HELP SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS AS WELL...
Creepy promotional video for a workshop at Wasilla Assembly of God (Sarah Palin's longtime church)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJnhRhJW35o
When you watch this video REMEMBER...this was Sarah Palin's church for nearly her entire life.
The man with in the leather jacket donning a goatee was Sarah Palin's pastor from 1999 till 2002.
She continues to have close ties to this church and is involved with workshops there.

I'm in for another $250. My base is energized.

I gave during the after-Palin donation bomb. Now it's up to $10 Million. And in the same time period McCain has received $1 Million. Whose base is energized now?
