And I thought you knew politics? The leader always gets the most donations. Renting favors with the winner you know. What good will favors do with the loser ?

Plus the bush type republicans are pretty much like the plague right now.

One reporter welcomed McCains plane in the other day.

I never heard but figured he worked for Fox.

Am I missing something? Obama is leading in the polls yet according to this article McCain (barely) leads in money. How does that tie to what you are trying to claim?

Seriously, I'm hung over so I had to read it again to make sure. He's claiming they give the most money to the winner (or leader). Obama is leading in the polls yet according to this article McCain has more money. There is a disconnect right?

Yes. Their is a disconnect. But given where you obtained your education it is not all that surprising that the senile KY man confused you.

Well, when you find the hippy you want to beat on, give me a call so I can come and watch a CO hippy kick the crap out of a Cali boy panting at altitude.

Jesus, you can't just crawfish in just one thread you have to spread it into others? What is wrong with you? We were talking about Oil Speculation, you jumped in with some inane 'point' about how Baer Stearns was bailed out. Stop taking more than the recommended dosage of your painkillers, it really makes you bad.

I have not taken any painkillers today.

go eat some tofu and grow your manboobs.

how does that break down further break down? How much of the McCain/Repub amount is actually McCain warchest and how much is RNC? my bet is candidate vs candidate Obama has the cash advantage. And when General election time roles around will see who has more money, the guy that is using public financing or the guy that isn't.
