1. Hey, they always have the option of a publicly-financed campaign
Why not kick the lobbyist habit and not be indebted to them for their donations later? :shrug:

2. It doesn't look like they'll have any problems:
"The pace of fundraising has slackened since the second quarter, when the campaigns raised $25 million to $30 million. But Obama and Clinton will have more than enough on hand, close to $100 million collectively, to bombard primary voters in battlegrounds with broadcast ads."

5. I prefer to send my contributions to MoveOn to help stop the war, not continue it.
a trend perhaps?

7. Moveon can't stop the war, only politicians can, specifically
Joe Biden, who got 26 Repulicans to vote for his federalism/diplomacy strategy this week.

6. Looks like donations are down across the board
The fact is they still have much more than the repubs and are outraising them every quarter. Very interesting the article didn't report fund raising of the top repubs! Headline could be Clinton/Obama double insert top two repubs.

A 40 to 20 football game is an ass whoopin correct?
