Palin's Convention Speech Brings in Cash for Obama ($10 million)

...Barack Obama reported raising at least $10 million from more than 130,000 donors today after Palin, the Alaska governor, addressed the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota, and criticized the Democratic presidential nominee. ``Sarah Palin's attacks have rallied our supporters in ways we never expected,'' Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said. ``And we fully expect John McCain's attacks tonight to help us make our grassroots organization even stronger.''

Doubt this is true. There is no way to verify this claim until they file their FEC reports. Given the despicable childish nature of the Obamites, I suspect they simply made this up to top the fact that McCain brought in $10 mill in the 3 days after he picked Palin

Several folks have mentioned Rush’s comment. He’s normally careful not to say something like that without evidence, but I’ve seen none all day. (Admittedly I haven’t scoured the Web, other than reading a few articles and getting those FEC numbers.)

[impeachedrapist]

Do your math again. 100,000 people each giving $100 would equal $10 million.

Someone on one of the Hillary sites last night was upset with the amount he blew on the convention.

“This after Sen. McCain behaved like an adult and let the Democrats have their convention. He didn’t go on O’Reilly, and he didn’t send out whiny E-mail solicitations.”

Technically true, but I did get a snail mail solicitation on Thursday, the day of Obama’s speech and a day before the Palin announcement.

Now, if it got to me on Saturday, I might not have express mailed it to my shredder...

I seem to recall The One spent either $6 or $8 million on his ascension, er, convention.

Boy do they fear the vice Presidential nominee ;-)

Rush said Obama is spending money faster than it is coming in.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Even those half-wits know that the addition of Palin is not a good thing for Obama.

Yep. But unfortunately those half wits seem to have deep pockets. And you know what they say about a fool and his money...

That’s what I was thinking too...let’s see, Oprah a cool 1mil, annette b. a cool 1mil, all the jack6ss from HELLywood would equal a cool 8mil, the rest are stupid sheeple who probably doanted in small amounts. 130 folk can’t compare with the mil folk who are still donating to the M/P!! Small potatoes for the RATS!! Pfft...130,000 geez that’s it?

More lies from Axelrod. This a Press releases that AP peddles as FACT. No one check these liars money overnight or at all !

[impeachedrapist]

Rush said Obama is spending money faster than it is coming in.

Yes, but so far I've seen no data here or elsewhere to back up that claim. The only hard numbers I've seen (I posted 'em earlier in the thread) showed Obama with a 2:1 advantage in cash on hand one month ago, while McCain had a twice the debt.

[impeachedrapist]

Ahh, thank you. I’ll go read both now.

[ncalburt]

I read the exact opposite that Obama is spending way more than he is bringing in with the planes and fancy Chicago offices ! The GOP . McCain has more NET money than the DNC and the Great Liar.

So much for us being the party of the rich.
