7. I like how Obama is focusing on the number of donors rather than the amount of money |
|
It encourages more people to donate if they know they'll be counted in that 350,000+ number no matter how much they donate.

be willing to say that the reports of the Obama campaign's demise are greatly and wrong-headedly exaggerated.
This past week Barack Obama sent a volt of energy through a huge crowd in New York City -- a traditionally Democratic city in what's-her-name's home state -- and it appeared evident, at least to me, that this is a genuine and formidable contender for the Oval Office.
I've posted on DU that I felt anybody discounting Obama's odds for the presidency is a fool, and repeat the assertion today.
As Lincoln's address at Cooper Union might have made him president, I believe Obama's appearance before that crowd this past week -- again in the traditional Democratic stronghold of New York City -- might have been a harbinger of future success.
Too early to know for sure, of course. But it felt to me like one of those landmark events in U.S. political history.
There was a discernible voltage to it.
