WASHINGTON - Sen. Barack Obama, second to none in the race for campaign cash, raised more than $40 million in March and boosted his vast network of donors to nearly 1.3 million, the campaign announced Thursday.

The amount is less than the record $55 million he raised in February, but still a sizable amount that sustains his place as the fundraising leader among all presidential candidates. The money gives him a substantial financial advantage over Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton as they compete for votes heading into the April 22 Pennsylvania primary.

Clinton raised $20 million in March, the second best showing of her campaign, aides said. Clinton has raised nearly $70 million this year. Details of the candidates' March fundraising will be made public in official reports filed with the Federal Election Commission April 20.

So did Obama raised more money in March than McCain and Hillary combined?

Yup.

Also noteworthy that both Hillary and Obama dropped about $15m from February to March. I read some speculation that the negative news cycles in March (Clinton wins March 4th, Wright) hurt Obama's fund raising, so he dropped from a mind-boggling $55m to a merely astounding $40m. But Clinton dropped the same amount.

On a political note...I've been working with a friend on MY website. I'm running for County Legislature. The site's really coming along and I'm going to start campaigning in May. Going to be exciting.

Air America Host Randi Rhodes Suspended For Calling Hillary A "Big F*cking Whore"

Air America host Randi Rhodes called both Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton "whores" in a recent appearance, seen below. Rhodes, who hosts a weekday radio show on Air America, said to the cheering crowd, "What a whore Geraldine Ferraro is! She's such a fucking whore!" She then proceeded to say, "Hillary is a big fucking whore, too" to a mixed audience reaction. "You know why she's a big fucking whore? Because her deal is always, 'Read the fine print, asshole!'"

[...]

Rhodes has been now been suspended from the network.

I used to listen to her show! My problem is that she's such a fucking partisan; you can't get much more partisan than saying a republican president has never won a war. Really?

She should get Sirius. Alex Bennett and Lynn Samuels are rabid anti-Obama Hillary supporters.

Unless the duration limitation has been upped from 10min, the video is too long to be put up on YouTube, so I'm uploading it into other sites like Daily Motion. Next will be Blip.tv, and maybe Vimeo and Liveleak...unless somebody beats me to the punch first. :D

Obama panders to Hoosier nation said:
Many years ago, President Richard Nixon had a small bowling alley built in the White House.
If Sen. Barack Obama is elected president, he will replace the bowling alley with something more suitable to his tastes: a basketball court.

"There's not only a chance (that he'll have one built), but it's a guarantee," Obama said Monday on WFNI 1070 The Fan.

When it comes to basketball, Obama knows his stuff. During a 10-minute conversation, he talked about his NCAA bracket -- well, what's left of it. He talked about his days as a high school player in Hawaii, where his team won the 1979 state championship. He brought up Eric Gordon, saying "he could use some guidance." And he talked about becoming the Baller In Charge, saying he would have a basketball court constructed inside the White House.

"I tried bowling (Sunday) in Pennsylvania and threw two gutter balls," Obama said. "So we'll have a basketball court, at least a decent half court."
As a high schooler, Obama wore No. 23. "I was No. 23 before Michael Jordan was 23," he said with a laugh.

He described himself as "a slasher, a three, maybe a poor man's Scottie Pippen or Tayshaun Prince -- a guy like that without as much talent.''

Obama said there are 14 people in his traveling party on the campaign trail, and he's currently tied for third in his NCAA pool. He picked North Carolina to beat UCLA in the national final, but after watching Memphis, the one team he didn't have in the Final Four, "I'm not so sure I made the right pick.''

So, he's black, and he likes basketball, I wonder if he enjoys listening to rap!
