Obama Raises Record $32.5 Million for Presidential Campaign
Sunday, July 01, 2007

WASHINGTON — Sen. Barack Obama outraised Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton by $10 million in second-quarter contributions that can be spent on the Democratic presidential primary contest, aided by the contributions of 154,000 individual donors.

Obama's campaign on Sunday reported raising at least $31 million for the primary contest and an extra $1.5 million for the general election from April through June, a record for a Democratic candidate.

Clinton's campaign announced late Sunday that she had raised $21 million for the primary. With general election contributions added, aides said her total sum would be "in the range" of $27 million. Candidates can only use general election money if they win their party's nomination.

Obama's whopping amount ensures his place as a top contender for the Democratic nomination. It steals the spotlight from Clinton, his main rival. And it establishes the two of them as the fundraising juggernauts of the entire presidential field.

Counting this quarter's surge of donors, the first-term senator from Illinois has received donations from more than 258,000 donors through the first half of the year, an extraordinary figure at this stage of the campaign. Obama raised $25.7 million in the first three months of the year.

The fact that Obama raised more money than Hillary underlines the disconnect between the typical Democrat voter and the far Left dominated Democrat primary process. Obama collected more money, but Hillary has a substantial led in the polls:

2008 Democratic Presidential Primary

complete article: http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/2008_democratic_presidential_primary

There are no surprises in this week’s polling on the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination. For the sixth straight week, New York Senator Hillary Clinton is in the mid-30s, Illinois Senator Barack Obama is in the mid-20s, and former North Carolina Senator John Edwards is in the mid-teens.

This week’s numbers are Clinton 37% Obama 25% and Edwards 13%. A week ago, it was Clinton 38% Obama 27% and Edwards 16%. Clinton has been within three points of the 35% level in seventeen of the last eighteen weekly updates.

Rudy is not a liberal

how does that change the fact that rudy is pro-choice, pro-gay rights, and pro-gun control?

Rudy is pro-choice, pro-gun control, pro-gay marriage.

A real Conservative should NEVER vote for Rudy, especially when there are REAL Conservatives in the race.

so..you admit you have abandoned your conservative "principles" - if indeed you ever had any - and are supporting a pro-choice, pro-gay rights, pro-gun control New York moderate, in hopes that he will beat the democratic version of New York moderate?
