Reply #22: How do you KNOW where BO's money is coming from?

[Rageneau]

You set a lot of stake in Obama's ability to raise money. You even say it's a prime reason you support him. But I have sent small ($50) amounts of money to several Democratic candidates: Gravel, Kucinich and Clinton, and never once was I asked to identify myself politically in any way. I could have been a Republican sending them money and they wouldn't have known or cared.

So I was thinking. What is to stop people who hate Democrats from contributing to the one Democrat they have correctly deduced: (A) CAN take the primary away from Hillary (with the right mojo), but is also (B) sure to LOSE to the GOP nominee, once the contest is down to the two of them and the REAL dirty campaigning begins?

Remember the little old lady McCain supporter who asked, "How do we beat the bitch?"

If I were the GOP, I would answer, 'We puff up and enrich one challenger to Hillary -- the one we can best use to cut into her support with blacks and young people. Then we use our friends in the media to start portraying HRC as, say, a racist. Then we fan the flames to make sure the resulting primary fight is so nasty and divisive that -- no matter who survives it -- the Democratic Party will be fractured and vulnerable.

THAT'S how we beat the bitch.

And THAT'S how the GOP can win in 2008: GOP secretly funds BO. BO knocks off HRC, then GOP knocks off BO.

So, are you SURE that Obama's money-raising ability is a good thing?
