Mike Papantonio: These NO way Obama is going to be able to match the money in Florida

[bigdarryl]

During the General Election the same thing thats happening to Newt down hear is going to happen to Obama.OH PLEASE!!!! Mike get a grip the Democratic party and the President will have plenty of money during the General election Newt only had 5 million dollars to spend and if its closer than expected Tuesday thats a win for Newt. I wish guys like him and big Ed stop being so scared of how much money the rethugs have against us because of Citizens United the bottom line is we have to get our own organizations to fund money like they do.

1. LETS GO

While I accept the apparent fact that big SuperPAC money is telling the tale these days, I have a feeling that the monies coming Obama's way 'ain't nuttin to sneeze at', like my 77 yr old neighbor says......not to mention the fact that Obama's boots on the ground and his Internet reach are formidable. We just have to keep vigilant, keep the faith, and LETS GO

2. Better yet

If each of us in the 99% donate a small amount, as I just did, we can help Obama compete.

There is no way Dems can compete with Repubs on the 1% level because many more billionaires are Repubs than Dems.

And big oil and big banks and Wall Street are going to give most of their money to the Repubs because the Repubs will do whatever these corporations want.

I do think you are foolish not to be concerned about the over 300 million dollars Romney had available just for the Florida primary. That says to me that big money is deadly serious about supporting Romney. I think it is naive to think money doesn't matter because Romney's money hurt Gingrich a lot in Iowa and is hurting Gingrich a lot in Florida.

3. I agree. However, there are folks even here on DU who are mad at Obama,

complaining that he's getting money from Big Donors. Sure, he is! How the fuck else do these people think Obama can match Mittens, his PACS, and the GOP-Koch Bros. machine?

If we really want change, then fight Citizens United.

Give Obama the PROGRESSIVE super-majority in Congress that he needs to challenge Citizens United.

4. Jerry Brown managed to defeat Meg Whitman.

Talk about money. She had it.

5. Good point Brown was able to defeat Meg who spent MILLIONS!!! more than he did

So Mike was wrong on Ed's show when he said history shows who ever spends the most money wins I love Mike but sometimes he gets a little carried away

6. Seems to me that after a certain point more money becomes detrimental.

The negative ads grow so prevalent that people will begin to turn on the candidate that 'supports' them.

(I know the candidate can't officially support the ads but I doubt many of the voters will distinguish between approved and unapproved ads.)

7. And in Florida it was pretty easy to go negitive on Ginrich because he has a high DISAPPROVAL rating

from the start.Obama doesn't have that kind of negatives as he does if this race in Florida ends up being a 6 point win for Romney that just further proves after spending 10 million he's a weak ass candidate

[yellowcanine]

8. Eh, Romney will fold like a cheap suit in Florida in November and Obama will win it easily.

Old folks trust Obama more on SS and younger latinos are going to go heavy for Obama

9. Add the money issues - Citizens United will vomit dough there to VOTER SUPPRESSION

and things aren't so easy in Gatorland
