Obama rode wave of 3.7 million donors to victory (McCain = 827K)

Preliminary results of a study on presidential campaign donations shows that President Obama had more than 3.7 million donors compared with 827,000 who donated to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.)

And while Obama had a substantial lead over McCain in small donors -- $200 or less -- Obama also led in the number of individuals who gave at or near the legal limit of $4,600, researchers at Brigham Young University said. Donors gave Obama $700 million to Obama (sic) and $316 million to McCain.

Donations from individuals giving $200 or less represented nearly a quarter ($178 million) of Obama's fund-raising total but only 7 percent ($35 million) of McCain's.

Obama raised nearly $135 million from individuals giving at or near the legal limit, compared with just less than $110 million for McCain.

I wonder if this includes the monetary value of the free endorsement provided by the vast majority of the left-wing media.

Ohio went to Bush by 200,000 in 04.

To 0bama by 250,000 in 08. Complete with ACORN, early voting and foreign nationals.

The SOS refused to release county voter rolls for counties to verify eligibility. She’s a SOROS SOS.

Fraud. This was invalid on its face.

Operation Elvis 2 executed in plain sight?

A little (more) plastic surgery, a planted cover story and what do we have:

Pale complected "black" male
About 50 years old
Being chased by a media cult
Good at spending money he doesn't have
Wearing one white glove on right hand

Hey, if the glove fits...
Besides, does anyone have a birth certificate to prove me wrong?!
