Obama raises $10 million after Palin speech - Yahoo! News

Quote:

Obama spokesman Bill Burton said Palin's address, heavily laced with digs at Obama, prompted an outpouring of donations from more than 130,000 donors.

"We're up over the previous record and the number is still climbing the more Palin's attacks are covered on cable and network news," Obama spokesman Bill Burton said.

The Republican National Committee announced earlier Thursday, at mid-afternoon, that it had raised well in excess of $1 million since Palin's speech. Republicans expect Palin to mobilize their donors. But the Obama camp promptly used the speech as a fundraising hook, sending an overnight e-mail to supporters to contribute.

McCain can no longer raise private donations for his campaign because he has decided to accept $85 million in public financing for the fall campaign. The Republican National Committee, however, can continue to raise money through its victory fund. His campaign reported raising $47 million in August, an impressive amount for the Arizona senator that broke his previous record

That's around 76$ a pop. Be afraid my right wing friends. Be very afraid.

I just donated again to Obama's campaign last night--for the 4th time.

He clearly wants to tell the Republican camp to lay off the attacks. Pweeze stop!

Within the first few hours after Palin's name was announced, McCain raised $4 million in campaign donations online, reaching $10 million within the next two days.

Fail.

Y'know, I read your link title and thought, "they're mentioning fundraising in an article about protesters????," but hey, maybe, so even went and looked. I don't see anything about fundraising in your link.

Seems to me that if Palin motivated this level of activity among the left, it is the left that is afraid...
