1. since the op once again refuses to cut and paste any info then i will.

Barack Obama appears to be winning the faculty lounge straw poll -- his presidential campaign is cultivating academics and pacing the field in collecting cash from them.

Obama, whose website features an “Academics for Obama” page, raised nearly $1.5 million in the first half of the year from people who work for colleges and universities, according to an analysis of campaign finance data by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. And that’s 55 percent more than the $939,000 brought in by the next biggest professor’s pet, fellow Democratic senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.

The next two biggest recipients were Republicans Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, ($48,000) and Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York ($366,000).
