4. Well, she certainly is an effective fundraiser.

Just not and effective repuke fundraiser.

Man, they really are turning into a flaming trainwreck.

5. Oh, my.

That's a pleasant side effect I hadn't even considered. I do hope she enjoys public speaking and plans to do a great deal of it between now and the election.

6. I wonder how much she pulled in for McCain?

Not as much, or they'd brag about it.

8. I know the last two nights of the Republican Convention psised me off...

So, what did I do? I contributed to Mark Warner, Obama/Biden, and the DSCC!

9. Add another $25 for me. It's funny, I was initially thinking of donating the whole

$2300 up front. It would've hurt me financially but I figure it's worth it. Anyway, it's been more fun to donate at these precise moments to really drive the point home.

I was going to have a new tree planted in the backyard, but diverted the money to a more worthy cause.

I was so pissed at Sarah's speech that I decided to donate $10 to Obama/Biden. I will probably donate MORE tonight.

$25.00 and it feels really good.

Instead of getting more voters, they're turning them away. LOL I sent the Obama campaign another $100 last night after hearing Slimy Sarah's rantings; I'm pleased that I'm not the only one!
