"Super Pacs, giving the GOP the election." Last time I checked, the Super Pacs were giving money on both sides. Maybe more to the GOP, but certainly not exclusively to the GOP. It's alright though, the wedding pac is exclusively DNC. Maybe it can offset the difference. J - Ninety percent of

A bridal registry includes the information of who gave and what was given. How much is a list of small money donors worth? Lots in both the short run (Obama) and the long run (Democratic party). And I'm not just talking money wise.

I think that the Obama wedding registry thing is odious and preposterous. However, the number you show below aren't at all a reasonable picture of the money race. Obama started out with a decent amount of money in the bank from the last election. He's also been able to raise money toward the gene

"For about the cost of a cup of coffee a day, you could help Obama get reelected." Brilliant! Send this idea in and maybe they'll hire you as a consultant. "My guess is that his campaign donations aren't projected to reach that level and they're trying to be creative in their begging. " Goo

Personally I think it is one of two things. The first is a way to prove that Obama has more small dollar donors than large. Sure, the registry can be under the poster, however each donation will be recorded under the gift giver. This inflates the overall count of donors. The second is desperat

"Ingenious!" Or desperation. "How many toasters do you need?" I've been to a lot of weddings and know a lot of married people. I cannot see any of them doing this. Weddings should be kept politics free. Save it for the family barbecues down the road. J - Ninety percent of politicians giv
