I'm confused. I looked up Stupid in the dictionary and there was a picture of Pelosi. I also looked up Psychotic and there was also a picture of the San Fran Nan.
[Daily Nation (Kenya)] Republican US presidential challenger Mitt Romney raked in $106 million in June, sending incumbent Barack Obama a warning that he will give him a run for his money in the November election.
Romney and the Republican National Committee now have $160 million in cash on hand, the campaign said Monday, as the candidate gears up for a fierce four-month White House battle.
Four years ago the Obama camp bludgeoned rival John McCain with its own historic fundraising juggernaut, but last month its fundraisers fell $35 million (Sh2.9 billion) behind its new Republican rival Romney.
The Democrat's campaign immediately placed Romney's impressive June tally at the heart of an opportunistic appeal to donors, telling them in an email that "we could lose if this continues."
June marked a second straight month of fundraising dominance for Romney. "Last month, the GOP side out-raised and they called it a onetime fluke. Well, it happened again," RNC spokesman Sean Spicer boasted in an email.
Romney's $106.1-million haul is a record for 2012 and well above the $71 million announced by Obama's re-election campaign.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama challenged Congress on Monday to end tax breaks for the wealthy while protecting working families.

Repeat after me. Romney will *not* out raise or outspend Obama. And that's not even counting all the taxpayer money Obama is spending or the free media.

He might.
I despise politicians. The only political contribution I've ever made was to the campaign of a Presidential candidate a couple of decades back who was a friend of the family. And that was "requested" at the last minute by a parent who was a couple hundred bucks short of having the funding in place for a bus trip they'd organized to the Iowa caucuses.
This time around I maxed my primary contribution to the Romney campaign and I'll again make the max allowable contribution for the general election. Add in down-ticket contributions and I'll easily surpass my lifetime political contributions by a factor of 100 during this cycle. And I'm far from the only politically inert person I know who's suddenly found themselves digging under the couch cushions for a few bucks to send Romney's way.

Romney is the "not Obama" candidate. If dollars indicate votes, maybe Romney will make it. He's not the choice of conservatives but he is a significant improvement over what we've got in the whitehouse. His speech to the NACCP today speech was OK. Probably didn't win any converts. The audience was polite and occasionally applauded except when it came to the part about repealing ObamaCare. He was booed.

People are beginning to see that Obama is a dictator-in-hiding, but in terms of money, Obama has the entire Middle East block to help with "campaign contributions" just like last time around. Only this time he has a plan to keep these illegal contributions better under the legal radar. And our votes will be computed in Venezuela rather than the USA. Still, if Romney can attain the presidency, we still have hope.

JohnQC, any idea why Obamacare got special notice from the audience? Does it somehow help the black community or were they defensive about 'their guys' sole achievement.
I expect if he made converts at the NAACP they will be silent until the privacy ofvthe ballot box, or they will stay home election day. 98% is a powerful amount of peer pressure to overcome.

Few surprises here. Hat tip to Mitts for accepting.... had he not, of course he would have been labled a racist. An attack by Romney on the escalating Social Security Disability challenge, Affirmative Action, or Food Stamps would have illicited a similar response, possibly even worse. Sacred boodle cows and all that. Inviting a conservative candidate to speak at a black nationalist convention, then booing him. Very classy, very classy indeed.
Notice Champ didn't show up. They're in the bag as far as he's concerned, no need.

I heard Spain. I still cannot believe this legal. It's almost a cinch that Obama will get reelected. If by some miracle we kick this commie rat bastard to the curb, there needs to be some serious overhaul of our laws and election processes. And people, a lot of them, need to swing. Whatever it takes. It's for the children.

Was there a conservative invited? I thought it was just Romney...

When done he did get a standing O. They want their boodle, but they want jobs too. And Barry has not delivered. Election night will be very interesting.
