After tonight, I'm proud to call myself an Obama supporter
My boyfriend and I spent the past several hours switching back and forth between CNN and MSNBC watching the pundits go at each other trying hard to make sense out of the exit polls. After seeing both speeches it is clear to both of us that Obama is the person who we are most connected with and are proud to financially support.

I originally was supporting Hillary and was quite a vocal advocate for her early in the primary season. I grew up during Bill Clinton's administration and I remember how great times were during those years. However, over the past several months, Obama has slowly grown on me and I believe he will be the breath of fresh air we sorely need in the Executive office right now. We have been skeptical to donate to either candidate because we wanted to see which one best supports our beliefs. We are confident that we have now found that candidate.

So tomorrow the Obama campaign, and our next President, will be $4,600 richer. I wish him the best of luck in the coming months and will pray for his victory in the primary and in the general in November. As for all us Democrats, I remain hopeful that after this primary we can pull together and support our party's candidate.


Scott and Christian

20. Sucker Bet
Her deep pockets supporters are tapped and a 9% win isn't going to be enough to get them motivated I don't think.

21. I wish I could
afford that much, but tonight I did sign up for a small monthly donation and will send more when I can afford it. It was my 5th small contribution. You are very fortunate you can do that and WE are lucky to have you on Obama's side.

25. I would encourage you to donate to the DNC too with an email to make more mccain ads. Ease our path
Edited on Wed Apr-23-08 12:17 AM by cooolandrew
for later on. Also if down the line you feel like donating move on are out to back Obama so that would helptoo als o togain seats.
