Presidential Nominee Vows To Fight Back Against Character Attacks Better Than John Kerry Did In '04 MIDDLETOWN, N.J. (AP) ― Unlike his Republican opponent, Democrat Barack Obama is still raising money for his presidential campaign, and he turned Friday to rock legend Jon Bon Jovi for help.

Bon Jovi and his wife, Dorothea, hosted more than 100 people for dinner on their mansion lawn by the Navesink River in Middletown, N.J. The price was $30,800 a person, to be divided between the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

"We're not going to be bullied, we're not going to be smeared, we're not going to be lied about," Obama said. "I don't believe in coming in second."

Earlier in the evening, Obama attended a $2,300-per-person reception at the nearby home of veteran party fundraiser Phil Murphy. About 200 people, including the Bon Jovis and New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, attended.

doesn’t he see how defensive he’s become? it’s funny to watch... this is part of the unraveling... i saw George Herbert Walker Bush act defensive with Clinton and Dole with Clinton... and Kerry with Bush... Obama is coming across as weak...

I have a feeling that Obama’s been bullied all his life. That’s where the seething anger in his voice and demeanor comes from.

Lately, the veins in his temple have been bulging out when he gets up to speak.

If he doesn’t cool it soon, he’s going to have a stroke.

I don't believe in coming in second.

Hope is not a strategy.

The champion of the common man goes to a $30,000 a head fund-raising dinner and sees no irony whatsoever in hanging out with a rock star!

“Bullied?” But then again, playing the victim is his specialty.

Recall him anticipating that the evil republicans would soon be launching racist attacks on him because he looks different.
