Obama, Democrats raise $68m for elections
2012-01-14
[Bangla Daily Star] Republicans got a stark reminder Thursday of President Barack Obama's
The campaign's over, John...
juggernaut re-election campaign, as he and his Democratic party scooped up nearly $70 million in the last months of 2011.

While the Republican White House hopefuls stumped in South Carolina and Florida -- which hold their primaries on January 21 and 31, respectively -- Obama campaign chief Jim Messina announced the robust haul of campaign cash.

The Democratic total included more than $42 million for the embattled president's fight for a second term, a pitched battle shaped by the sour US economy and voter concerns about high unemployment.

Another $24 million filled the coffers of the Democratic National Committee, which acts as the White House's political arm and will fund Democratic candidates at all levels in the November 6 elections.

"The biggest difference between 2008 and 2012 from a fundraising perspective is that some supporters have begun to think that somehow other people are going to take care of things and it will be fine," he said.
Translation: they didn't get nearly as much as they expected.

#3  The Walker opponent got large amounts of money also. Unions are a big part of this but I believe money is flowing in from outside this country. The occupy movement is another example. Anyone who wishes this country harm could do allot of damage and not get their own hands dirty.

Nothing AFTER the election to take home with them.
