New stats are out:

Obama took in more than $650,000,000 in donations for his campaign.

$210,000,000 of that came from people proving, with their own credit cards, that they could enter nonsensical, made-up names and addresses and so get around legal contribution restrictions.

Thank you CFBleachers for putting it out there so concisely and well. It’s all true and I can’t for the life of me see how the MSM in its entirety misses this story. Not every newspaper is that liberal, but I’m even beginning to wonder about that.

The local rag “Austin American Statesman” has been on the market for quite a while too. AFAIK, no offers. Wonder why? They are homebase to one of the looniest of left wing cartoonists out there (Ben Sargent), and never seem to fail to publish the droolings of Signe Wilkinson either.

There would be one blessing to an Obama win: Keith Olbermann’s having a breakdown because after January 20, 2009, he is unable to go into another out of control tirade against the President, since now his one true Messiah would be in charge of every failure that occurs with the economy, the war, taxes, education etc.

Yawn. If I never have to read another article about the bias in the press it’ll be too soon. Of course they’re biased. And by this time four years from now several major dailies will be out of business. They can’t go on trashing their own credibility while at the same time alienating 50% of their potential audience. Good riddance. What will take their place, who knows! Maybe someone with venture capital will come up with the brilliant idea of hiring reporters and requiring them to report the unvarnished facts without all the shading of the truth. That would be something.

Insufficiently Sensative, your little essay is so beautifully stated and nicely condensed I’m copying and keeping where I can refer to it in future conversations. One thing great about the blogs are the comments! Thanks to all of you that offer more insight into a topic.

“About three days ago I read the account of the anonymous woman in the Obama team who told of their strategy to demoralize the Repubs, to claim the Repubs are negative, to create the illusion that the race is over.

“I was very skeptical about the authenticity of that report…”

Why were you skeptical? I don’t mean to be snarky, but seriously, what did you think they were going to do?
