palin raises 10 million...for obama!
Published Sep. 4, 2008
From CNN Deputy Political Director Paul Steinhauser
The Obama campaign is pulling in cash following Palin's speech.
UPDATE--
(CNN) – Barack Obama's campaign for president has raised $10 million since Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin spoke Wednesday night, the campaign announced, calling it a "one-day record."
Palin, the governor of Alaska, launched harsh attacks on Obama, accusing him of being two-faced and a political lightweight with no significant legislative accomplishments.
"Coverage of the Palin attacks on the news this evening just pushed us over $10 million," Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in an e-mail to reporters Wednesday night.
The Republican Party announced earlier in the day it had raised $1 million in the wake of Palin's speech.
The Democratic party owes a debt of thanks to VP candidate Sarah Palin. Perhaps the DNC chair will pen a formal "thank you" note.

WOW. You claim to have done "research" about the election, yet you come up with one of the most ignorant, debunked conclusions. Amazing.

Now before you start bashing, I am a born again Christian and Thank you Lord, Jesus is my personal Savior! I also have interaction with those that are muslim. They are very pleasant people who are suffering because of the demonic acts of terrorist.
Because of the Holy Spirit that dwells in me, I am able to not judge another human who has embraced muslim as their religion of choice and judge them negatively because of the acts of some demonic individuals.
And, I am glad that by proclaiming to be a christian others don't judge me because of Christian acts that have not been the will of God.

I have to ask you... did some woman you were involved with closely have an abortion recently?
I've never known a man to have a come to Jesus moment over abortion at the ripe young age of 44 without it being personal.
I'm not saying you are supposed to like abortion, of course. I know I don't like it.
But I cannot tell other women that they should not be allowed to have them.
Once science, and not theology, can tell us all when life begins precisely, I will not back off that stance.
Problem with theology dictating such things is that there are so many different religions.
Which is why choice is the only thing that doesn't cause us to cram our religious beliefs (or lack thereof) about life and its beginnings down the throats of others who don't share the same beliefs.
I worry about the lack of tolerance in this country. I really do.
