I think u can just look at the total number of ppl who voted, the new voters that took part and the amount by which Barack WON the presidency and get ur answer. the people have spoken now its time to move forward and try to pull our country out of the mess that the bush administration has created by in incompetence to govern and to tell the truth. so, if you want to help ur country, cut the whining, join dividedwefail.org and let's get to work. if u want to talk about suspicious things going on and downright illegal ones, why don't u all spend your time in the past...the past 8 years. you'll have plenty to whine and write about it u want to really worry about lies and deceit and cheating. i stumbled upon this site by accident. will u ppl never stop? i voted for Obama and donated the maximum amount. i wouldnt have even realized that i had reached the maximum but went i clicked on the submit key the last time i tried to contribute, i was given an error page telling me so. that was after the fact that i checked that my donation met all donation requirements. i cud have checked it anyway and clicked submit and if i hadnt already met the limit it wud have indeed gone thru but i know that all contributions are sorted thru and every effort is made. it’s not that difficult, if u knew anything about software you would know this and all that suspision that all on here are writing about wud realize it was for naught. and i assure u that if john mccain had raised this much money none of u wud be complainiing or questioning who, where , why it came from.

Imagine if it were so easy! There would be so much more credit card fraud. But nice try. I'm with you on gift cards, I have little experience there. but as far as the IP addresses.....citizens and permanent residents have the right to make the contribution while a foreign country....so you can't actually limit that. As a donor under the $200 mark you have the expected privacy of not having people find out that you supported the campaign. That can be important. One of my clients has a very public position and made a contribution over the limit to the republicans...and gets much grief from people who do not support the republicans.

You can't donate 40 euros and have it come out weird in dollars. If you send them a check or money order, it will be in US dollars, and you usually tell them the amount you want the check for, not throw a bunch of money at the clerk and see what it comes out to. The only case I can think of is some sort of event where people donate local cash, which doesn't seem awful likely. Also, I don't see anything suspicious there even IF the money did come from overseas. Expatriates are Americans and have just as much right to donate to presidential candidates as any other American.

I think he is about to win due to the dramatic economic news. Nothing more. And that means.....no change. I am not feeling discouraged because of McCain. He may not win, but the message is strong, and it's obviously supported. But I am a bit down in the dumps over the willingness of people to just "flip' the government in a kind of "hail-Mary" shot. That's why Bush got his war. It was that pent-up sense of retribution. I don't care what anyone says now. The public was behind Bush in initiating this war. The public has a HUGE part to play. It irritates me to no end to see the public now blame the politicians. Good grief, I watched as solid long-time senators got voted out for voicing their objections. The public asked for this dang war. And they are asking for it again, in my opinion. "Save us...." With no real investigation of the issues. It is the bad part of Democracy, I guess.

That sounds like classic Chicago crook behavior to me. He has no respect for the process. He'll do ANYTHING to win. I've abandoned "hope" of seeing any kind of useful "change" from him. In fact, I "believe" he's just a lying, cheating power-hungry politician. His line of BS has a snappy beat, but it's the same old huckstering, lies and thuggery that we've seen from politicians like George Bush. Short on knowledge, long on bullying.
