Yea, I gave some last night. After what we learned today about Caribou Barbie...I'm ready to give again.

Which piece of info are you exactly referring to? There have been so many, it gets confusing after awhile.

I just donated AND bought a couple t-shirts. FYI, the Virginia for Obama t-shirts are on back order in L and XL. Since we're (amazingly) a battleground state, I hope that's because they sold out of 'em.

Count me in on that figure. :-) I have been donating once a month (last day of the month!) to Obama/DNC/MoveOn and alternating our state party and pro choice groups. However with the Palin speech last night we gave again to Obama and Moveon. My husband is looking forward to the election so I'll stop spending so much money. :-) I know it is money well spent though.

I started my own donation page, you can too. Sign up send a simple message to your email contacts. Bring in some money.
I am not asking you to donate on my page, I just do not know how to show you the instructions without showing you my page. This is 21st century community organizing at its best.
I have to balance my damn checkbook, but I'll give as soon as I figure out how much money I have (or don't have)

LOL this is simply GREAT! Yes, we just gave and it felt particularly good this time around.
This is pretty amazing, 8 million in ONE night as opposed to 1!

Charlie Gibson just said how Palin's speech and had brought women into the McCain fold, and how the repubes had raised big money. Stephanopolis deflates him by pointing out the 8 to 1 dem slaughter.

LOLOL, wish I had seen that! Gibson just doesn't stop his PR for McCain, so that would have been a treat to see.

If you donate $15 via Obama's official site, they'll send you a car magnet, and I think you can get shirt with a $30 donation. Plus they have some cool stuff in their online store. It would be great if Obama got a bigger surge in donations than McCain following McCain's speech - let's embarrass the hell out of them

I'm in. That Palin bitch pissed me off. In fact, all those GOP liar speakers pissed me off.
I give him $100 a month, but he should have received my September donation by now. BTW, Hillary Clinton is going to campaign for Obama in Florida on Monday. When Hillary kicks some Palin butt, they won't be able to call it sexism.

Yay!!! people have been calling for Hill to attack immediately after the lipsticked pitbull spoke, but I think Hillary's tactic is correct to wait till the RNC is over and then fill the vaccuum with what needs saying about this pseudo-feminist nu case. These people are not just pro-life, they would happily ban contraception altogether - the thin edge of the wedge are all these court cases where people say their human rights are violated if they must sell contraceptives because it's against their religious beliefs. That 's how these people got in on the ground floor - PTA Meetings, school boards, etc. two decades ago. The MSM must ask Sarah point blank what are her views on contraception, and then ask McSame the same question - and then what?? Who knows...

'nucase' - sorry, 'nut case' , i.e. totally politically incorrect labelling which should have otherwise read as'totally insane and deluded person'. she is obviously of the Repug, neocon school of 'creating our own reality'.

Agree with your estimate of Palin's stance. McCain was sort of asked about contraception in connection with Viagra being available on insurance but contraception not. He begged the question. I"m hoping Hillary will be our point man (sic) on Palin while Obama and Biden will be left to deal with the issues like the economy, energy, environment, and foreign relations and war. We don't need a smokescreen of social conservative issues to detract from those which can cause our country to sink if McCain is elected.

I hope you're right. Thank God! I've been saying since last Friday "where is Hillary". Of course some of her people came out today and said the coverage of Palin was sexist. SO I'll be watching Hillary Monday and hoping for the best...

I just gave $50, John. Palin and McCain do not pump my nads. Next to Al Qaeda, the GOP is the biggest threat to our freedom, our economy, and the wellbeing of the American people.

After watching the networks evening news its a wonder that they didn't show film of Sarah walking on water and raising the dead. She is Reagan, Jefferson, Lincoln and Mother Teresa wrapped up in one person show why should she be required to appear on TV this weekend and answer questions from the press?

Funny, but I can almost see that Obama commercial that the McCain camp used, with the parting of the Red Sea imagery with Palin's face stuck in there...

LET’S GET REAL — SARAH PALIN IS IRRELEVANT -- SHE CHANGES NOTHING
Assuming, for the sake of discussion, the best case scenario for McCain and he wins ALL the deeply red states and AK, AZ, TX, MO, IN, WV and GA, which he should do, and also the states of NV, MT, ND, SD, CO, VA, NC and NH, which he shouldn’t do, in order to reach 270 electoral votes he’d have to ALSO win either OH and PA or OH and FL or PA and FL. Go to the electoral-vote.com website and make a realistic evaluation. Anybody want to give me odds on McCain being able to do that?
Soundboy_jeff_meanie

considering the US troops are giving to Obama at a 6 to 1 ratio...
the Dems are higher in the polls 'enthusiastic voter' catagories than mccain...
we're getting more voters registered as Dems for this election...
Obama can pull in 70,000 people to hear him speak, vs mcsame's largest crowd (before the RNCC) of 3,000 people...
etc... etc... etc...
now I have to reign myself in, I felt this way in 2004 as well. ugh.
then again, I didn't like Kerry... I just saw him as the obvious choice when he ran against chimpy.
I don't feel that way about Obama, he's inspiring.
I hope more people feel the same way this time around... it isn't the lesser of two evils, its a vote for our future and a change for the good.
I have sent the Obama campaign $50 several times. I wish I could send more, but I always send a note to the McCain website telling them I just sent Obama some money. I hope it makes them happy.

Obama needs to run an ad focusing only on Sarah Palin's attempts to ban books at the Wassila library. Seriously, a huge majority of Americans DESPISE such censorship and will donate tons of money to fight Palin if they learn about this. I've mentioned it to MANY people and they haven't heard about it. Not everyone reads Americablog.
This is a HUGE issue to many which Obama needs to capitalize on!

Yeah keep donating to Obama. He's going to need the money a lot more than Mcain-Paline :)
