US Presidential Election 2008

A couple of interesting articles about the upcoming election:

More petty arguing by Democrats -- the interesting quote in that article is where the Republicans attack Obama on his strength:

Said Tucker Bounds, a McCain spokesman: "The remark underscores that John McCain has the strength to change America and move this nation forward. Barack Obama is a new face who represents old ideas."

I think it is obvious that Obama doesn't represent old ideas.

Another article shows campaign figures:

Barack Obama raised $41 million in March and had $42 million available to spend against Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton in April...Overall, Obama had $51 million in the bank at the end of March, with nearly $9 million of that available only for the general election... [McCain's] campaign reported a debt of $707,000, much of it outstanding American Express billings.

Obama had $51 million in the bank and McCain was in debt $700,000. McCain also "had said the economy isn't his strong point."

Interesting...
