and you believe that? Obama just raked in over $150 million for the month of Sept. John Kerry only raised $324 million for his entire campaign! Of course he is getting everything he and his wife want.

Now you see what I have to go face over at the HQ! We are outspent, shorted on volunteers, and more and we are still within only behind 2 points or within the margin of error for a tie in critical toss ups! We are a force to be reckoned with!
McCain has done pretty well under the circumstances. He really is a great guy, I just don't like the way he is running his campaign and I don't think he has lived up to his claims that he is a maverick in spite of his non-partisan past.
He has been too ingratiated to the Republican base for my tastes. And, forgive me if I sound frank, the Republican base is a bunch of swine. The Democratic base may not be perfect, but the Republican base has become more and more extreme as the years have gone on. They regularly cross the border into intolerance, xenophobia, racism, sexism, and regularly engage in McCarthyesque tactics.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Oh I'm sorry you must have mistaken me for a person who actually trusts a republican and doesn't hold Sarah Palin in the same regard as a soggy old cup of yogurt.
Akuma - I would read this then if u don't mind:

Some Dems will go far out there and then run from it when confronted. You may not but extreme liberals will.

Well I thought you were speechless b/c of the money comparison. In any case you are in the UK so your comments will not affect the election too radically. :)
Im a New Yorker. I dont have the time to change my stupid profile. But I am 16.

A dishonest person is a dishonest person, and there are plenty of those in both parties. Voter fraud and voter irregularity stuff is blown out of proportion on both sides (although in cases where minorities are targeted I tend to find it to be a bigger deal because of how long voting rights were simply unavailable to blacks and other groups).
I am not saying it doesn't happen, but both parties do kind of blow it out of proportion. I was pretty offended when I learned that Bush was abusing the U.S. attorney's office by encouraging them to pursue even frivolous voter fraud case (for instance, one woman admitted to a government official on purpose that she accidentally voted even though she was a convict. They fucking persecuted her for being honest!)
I guess I mean the party's basic philosophy and how they react to situations. The Democratic base certainly has their knee-jerk reactions too, such as when people say global warming is a hoax, and can be overly sensitive to certain racial and gender issues. But at the end of the day I find the Republican base's actions to be far more offensive. The Religious Right and the "Southern Man" type Republicans genuinely offend me more often than they should. I can't stand the Religious Right, and I am a Christian!

I believe that all of the candidates were rich in the first place and could afford anything they wanted anyways. Having the campaign buy their clothes is like a morbidly obese person getting food stamps. And then using them on frozen pizza and ice cream.

Akuma-- We do have so extreme religious fanatics in the GOP. I was raised in an Assemblies of God church so I don't really have too much bias towards one particular group. Still, I cannot stand the $$$ pastors. I seek a more personal relationship with Christ in prayer, etc.
Also, the case above is being investigated as it should be--
