Looks like this is exclusive of SuperPAC money.

Jon. correction please. third paragraph. Did you mean interrupted or “interpreted”??

With Obama supporting Peterson’s and Bowles-Simpson’s plans for cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid in exchange for a few paltry tax pennies from the fractionally rich, I would hope people could be confident that Democrats would refund any campaign contributions they mistakenly gave to this Third Way candidate for President.

So I guess Obama hasn’t licked the boots of his banker buds enough this go around. That’ll teach him to only give them 100% of what they were asking for rather than going that extra mile and giving them the 110% Romney is promising. If you’re going to be corrupt, you shouldn’t give your opponent the oppurtunity to out-do you by half assing it!

“Ryan is known as a strong fundraiser and was seen as a choice to excite the Republican base. This didn’t seem to translate into greatly improved fundraising for the Romney campaign, however.”

Well of course. The Republican MO is all talk, no action.Talk up Medicare; defund it. Talk up jobs; offshore them. Talk up the deficit; add to it.

In my neck of the woods,this is called letting their alligator mouthes overload their hummingbird asses.

I think you can say the same thing about the Dems.
Remember the “Grand Bargain” ?

It’s both DNC & GOP that have put us in this shit hole,so pretending that just one side is responsible…well ,please.

The Democrats’ inferior fundraising was being interrupted as a sign of a lack of intensity among Obama’s supporters.

As it should be. There’s almost NO ground game in my area and I think it’s because nobody really likes either candidate. In my entire neighborhood, there are only 4 presidential signs, 3 for Mitt and one for Obama. Last election, half the neighborhood had political signs and most of ‘em were for Obama.

Boxturtle (We were betting our hopes then. Now we know better)

Even though Romney is the candidate from hell, they’re almost tied. That’s worse news for Obama.

Although the TeaGOPer base and the Trad-Dem base will mostly reliably go forth to pull the lever for their savior putative “candidate,” there is definitely a decided LACK of enthusiasm on both sides of the aisle this time.

I do find my ObamaBot and Tea Party friends having a hard time talking-up the finer points of their perspective “candidates,” although I’ve heard some pretty wild “justifications” for both Bishop Willard & Pres Hopey-Changey.

Vote Third Party. I am.

Yeah, and at this point, RMoney appears to not even be phoning it in. Didn’t he immediately go yachting off to the Cayman Islands or something?? No doubt to roll around in all the dollah$$ he collected from some rich shitheads at the TeaGOPer “convention” thingie.

The Super Pac money is counted in the totals raised.
$114 million for the Dems and Super Pacs supporting them, and $111.6 for the GOP and Super Pacs that support them, for the month on August.
At this point fund raising doesn’t really matter, because both campaigns will spend into deficit if need be.
As a independent I went to see the 2016 Obama’s America movie with a President Obama supporter recently. I found the movie much more balanced than I thought it would be, but my friend actually thought a large part of the film was Pro Obama.
She liked that it showed how President Obama is trying to help the 99% at the cost of the 1%, even though the film states that President Obama has a world view of the 99%, and most Americans would fall into the 1% bracket when looked at from a world view. She also liked that President Obama has reduced the US nuclear weapons stock pile. I saw the film as giving people who hate President Obama a lot of info to use against him, and it gave President Obama’s supporters a lot to like about him, and the voters in between will be more confused, and probably stay home. I think Jill Stein has a great opportunity to win these undecided voters! Go Green Party!

I thought independent expenditures didn’t have to be accounted for.

Obama supporters are still blinded by the light, and they have an excuse for everything he’s failed to do, but they know of none of the things he’s done that were worse than the last administration, like the drone wars for example.

I don’t really see any light at the end of the tunnel. But, Jill gets my vote here in Texas. Couldn’t hurt. And I ask other anti-republicans to vote the same way if you are in a red state.

While the extra $3 million this month is unlikely to determine the election, it is a psychological victory for the Obama team.

LOL. I’m sure. But do we really think that they are so psychologically-brittle that they needed a pick-me-up?

Yes, or like how a friend of mine stridently informed me that Pres Hopey-Changey had ENDED all WARs, and that Team USA was no longer at WAR, Inc, anywhere. Strident friend wasn’t AT ALL interested in Gitmo, unlawful detentions, assassinations of US citizens, drones, the insane increase in spying on US citizens, etc etc. If there is anything “wrong,” it’s all the “fault” of the Republicans. Why IF ONLY Obama had Democratic majorities in the House & Senate, THEN we would all be in paradise. Strident friend doesn’t want to “hear it” when I attempt to point out that Obama DID have Democratic majorities in both the House & Senate originally, that Pres Bi-partisan mainly worked with Republicans to effect a conservative agenda.

Nup. WRONG. Can’t heeeaaaarrr you…

I do my share of kicking Obama and the DLC. You can easily search this blog to verify.

This column had a strong Rommney/Ryan component,and so rather than tuning up Obama, I kicked Ryan for a change of pace.

I’d hate for people to think I’d gone soft on Republicans.

Obama finally pulls ahead in the acceptance of corporate bribes. What a relief.
