One must remember that the proper translation of the words “Swift Boating of” is “telling the truth about”, though I can understand the reason the Left would want to generate confusion about the truth.

Concerning the significance of rich contributors, I think it is useful to look at the total amount of contribution from the rich on one side against the total amount of contribution from the rich on the other. Among those who donated $1000 or more, Obama is ahead of McCain by a 4 to 3 ratio, with $91,435,211 raised by Obama and $67,964,523 raised by McCain. Obama does have his army of small contributors, but he is clearly supported by rich people no less than McCain. And this does not include the influence of nonprofit organizations supported by rich donors; most of these “527 groups” are likely to be pro-Obama or at least anti-McCain. I think the most interesting statistic from The Campaign Finance Institute is how Obama’s fundraising has been slowing down while McCain’s fundraising has been steadily improving. In fundraising terms, the story of McCain and Obama appears to be much like the story of The Tortoise and the Hare.

“About the only thing we’re sure about McCain is his record as a war hero, but the Swift Boating of John Kerry in 2004 opened the door to attacking McCain on that front too.”

Yeah, because their histories in Vietnam are so gosh darned similar. Especially that part about saying the soldiers were vicious killers like Jen-jis Khan. Yup, McCain was all about that, wadn’t he?

I shouldn’t any longer, but I still get surprised at how delusional Leftists can be.

Exdem13: They can still blow it before then, not the least by underestimating the views of at least 50-52% of the electorate concerning the inevitability of the “Yes We Can!” Man.

Just three weeks ago McCain said offshore drilling wasn’t worth the potential harm to the environment, now he says it will cure $4 a gallon gas. About the only thing we’re sure about McCain is his record as a war hero, but the Swift Boating of John Kerry in 2004 opened the door to attacking McCain on that front too. Stand by for heavy rolls.

While having always been more of a The Clash fan myself, I must say that the aesthetic ripoff is a.) unsurprising; and b.) sacrilege.

My, my, the Obamessiah campaign is very confident of victory, isn’t it? Well, maybe “confident” isn’t the right term for it. Maybe we should say the campaign is “full of hubris” or “arrogant”. It’s good to feel inevitable and all that, but someone ought to remind the Democrats that the election is still a little over 4 months away. They can still blow it before then, not the least by underestimating the views of at least 50-52% of the electorate concerning the inevitability of the “Yes We Can!” Man.

Doug: As of May 31, Obama had raised 33 percent of his money from contributions of $1,000 or more, according to a report by the Campaign Finance Institute that will be released Tuesday. I'm shocked! Shocked! But then, McCain raised 62 percent of his money that way.
