Obama refuses to help campaign or fund downticket Senate Races. Dems not happy!
Politico ^

Posted on 09/16/2008 8:53:53 AM PDT by sunmars

Earlier this month, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made a personal appeal to Barack Obama: Help me grow the Democrats’ Senate majority by sharing some of the $77 million you’ve got in the bank.

Obama’s campaign said no. Obama says he hasnt the money.

But, but, didn’t some Dim talking head on Fox say last weekend that BO was going to raise $100 million a month in September? Surely he could afford to throw a few coins to his downticket peon brethern and sistern.

He doesn’t have the money, McCain will have the dollar advantage of 2 to 1 in the last month of the campaign, because Fauxbama and his gigantic intellect turned down public funds.

Well, his funders are mostly liberal radicals, and this means he can’t moderate his message or risk losing his money.

He’s painted himself into a corner in many ways by completely incompetent management of his campaign, across the board. For such a “thinker” as his proponents like to claim, he’s made every bad conclusion out of all that thinking through this campaign. He should not be ANYWHERE near the white house.. this guy is incompetent.

This is a “sand bag” article. It allows moderte or conservative Dems an opportunity to distance themselves from Obama while the leftists who support Obama benefit from the top of the ticket. Article is an incosequential ruse.

You're right.

He is running scared (that voters will figure him out before its too late and he'll lose)or he's greedy (he's the top and all are supposed to support him ... not visa versa). Take your choice.

Not when McCain’s raised just as much AND has matching public funds... McCain’s going to have a 2 to 1 dollar advantage over Fauxbama in the last month of the campaign, if not more.

Fauxbama didn’t think through his campaign (big suprise) he can’t moderate his message to get elected or his fund raising dries up, and most of his funds are coming from the leftists. So he’s stuck there, he can’t moderate.

He’s spent over 300 Million on his campaign so far, building up the cult of personality empty suit that was his campaign to watch it be popped by an “old worn out geiser” and a “hockey mom” from Wasilla Alaska overnight... God, I do love America.

This debate coming up is do or die for Fauxbama, if he doesn’t change the momentum soon, its over, by the next debate it will be too late.

This guy can’t deliver a stump speech to a rodeo crowd without a teleprompter, I am going to enjoy watching him umm and err... and vasilate and nuance his way through the debates.

Vendors to the Obama campaign should seriously consider getting the cash in advance.

Obama was expecting to be leading in the polls which would keep the dough rolling in.

I doubt Obama collects more than $20 Million in September. Afterall, why throw good money after bad!

He doesn’t give his own brother any money to supplement his $12/year income, and the DNC expected him to give them campaign money?

He barely acknowledges there’s another dem with him on the top part of the ticket, why would he even be aware of anyone else further down?

Do the laws still allow the candidate to keep the “unspent” campaign money?

I’ve thought this alot of times since Obama started, but this is showing me it is really like that old Andy Griffith movie, A face in the crowd.

Check out this and it will explain my theory. The person he relied on the most ends up outing him when he makes fun of the people supporting him.

"Nay, I hath not! Now begone!", he dismissed the knaves with a stamp of his mighty foot.

If you say it with the Monty Python falsetto English accent its even funnier.
