One HUGE reason Obama got elected in '08 was a very, very large money advantage.

Guess what? It's gone.

The GOP candidate will not take public funding this time around (like McCain). That's about $700 M for the GOP candidate right there.

In additon, the massive donations which came in for Obama are no longer there. Many on the far left see him as either week-kneed in implementing policy (especially if Obamacare is overturned) or on the moderate left have become disillusioned about progressive policy because they see now it doesn't work.

The GOP candidate because of the SC decision can now take corporate contributions and will certainly not take public funds thereby releasing them to raise far more than Obama.

The only advantage Obama will have this time around is his rhetoric which is becoming more and more slip-shod, demogoguic, and racist. We will now see him quickly lose power IMO.

No it’s not gone.

The Obama campaign has opened credit card donations from ‘overseas americans’ which do not require security checks like the three digit code or even if the people are real.
