The Best In Brief
DNC Raised Record $11.5 Million in Oct.
You wouldn't think it, but Sarah Palin might be the Democrats' best friend. The former vice-presidential nominee could be a huge boon to the Democratic National Committee, which just raised a (post-campaign finance reform, non-presidential election year) record $11.5 million for the month of October, placing their funds at $12.9 million on hand with $4.4 million in debts (the RNC has $11.2 million on hand after raising $8.7 million in October). The committee's looking to use the polarizing figure of Palin more in November: Mitch Stewart, director of Organizing for America—a DNC project spun off from Obama's campaign organization—mentioned the ex-Alaska governor specifically in a fundraising email sent out on Friday. All told, the DNC has raised $66.3 million this year, while the RNC has raised $69.2 million.

Those obscene Goldman Sachs bonuses had to go somewhere.
Garrison
Yup, right into the Bush loyalists pockets.
eurydice9276
So wrong, Goldman's an equal opportunity briber.
Plantagenet
Actually Goldman Sachs and Wall Street gave far more to Obama then to McCain. The folks on Wall Street are mostly classic limousine liberals.
jaydeekay
Actually, Plant, they go with the strongest horse in the race.
Right now that's the Dems.
Wall Street and politicians... A1, 100% equal opportunity opportunists.

Let's hear it for our gal Sal. That bitch helped put some serious money in the hands of the one political party here to serve the American people. Yeah! That's what Obama told me to say.
MaliciousDisorder
Dems don't need a few bucks. they already have the 750 billion slush fund that was suppose to be for JOBS. Ha ha..ha.
they will need voters to vote and they won't get them from blacks, independents and moderates on both sides. it's going to be a real sweeping...

Gotta love polarization! LOL Nothing to do with global warming for sure!

Sarah is the one to beat, polls now show Sarah 47 Bambi 46, just sayin'
jaydeekay
Oh... Palin has done something which 46% of those polled agree with?
Did she sign enough books or something? Quit something else?
How is Palin's approval rating relevant here?
jaydeekay
Sorry... 47%.
My bad.
Forgot those 2 other people that were polled.

Show me the poll before you blab bullshit. You can't combine different polls to make them say what you want. Unless you are FOX. Or an idiot.
eurydice9276
Well, at least one part of the economy is growing.
jaydeekay
Politicians' pocketbooks.
jaydeekay
When is it ever different?
Willow207
When it is "corporate" pocketbooks growing, like Tax-doding Rupert Murdoch's wallet via "Going Rogue"

Sara Palin had nothing to do with it. The bankers, insurance companies, wall street and auto companies and unions had to pay to play, and they got their money so now it was expected to grease the palm of the crooks who gave it to them.
The smell of money is normally a good thing, but when greed, corruption and manipulated government gets involved it stinks.

Don't you know that Corporations are Persons with Constitutional Rights and money is Protected Speech? Obviously you're unfit for your name and not qualified to be on the Supreme Court.

notronclybourn:
I find it interesting that we elect individuals to work for us, then nod and wink as they break ethics rules and excuse it because it helps our specific cause. Because of that every time the party changes the cheating gets worse.
Governments job is to protect our borders and provide a safe neutral place for commerce. They do neither. Instead they try to play the game themselves, and I don't know of any activity in which the umpire or referee can play the game better than the participants. The result is government housing (a mess), social services (a mess) Medicare (broke) VA (a mess), US mailservice (broke and a mess), Social Security (poor performance) and more, all because we think a bureacracy can do better than the people at large can. And now, of course, we embark on health care. Unbelievable.
As long as we have people who want something for nothing, we will breed citizens who do nothing for something. I firmly believe and support charities but am adamantly against the nonsense this Congress and the last one are putting through, And if anyone takes the time to analyze the probable outcome, they should be angry.
Our Constitution protects our rights to freedom, not the service of health care. It protects our pursuit of happiness not what we will be happy about or if we will succeed in achieving happiness. Your sarcastic response is a sad comment on the state of our union. Government money has no place in bailing out private anything. It should be there for what its purpose is for, not to save some college buddies pension. Enough, is enough.

It just goes to prove Sarah Palin is a big threat to the libbies. Now the Republican's have to use obama as a selling point on votes, making references to how obama destroyed the US.
Willow207
Are you reading "Revisionist History 101"?
Willow207
You think Palin was a 'bonus' to the Dems on this one, just wait til 2010 races when she is out there dividing the republican/conservative votes!!!!
