'I will win,' Obama promises

(CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama has promised donors that he will recapture the White House for the Democrats this fall.


Sen. Barack Obama addresses a town hall-style meeting Sunday in Reno, Nevada.

1 of 2 "I will win. Don't worry about that," Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, said during a Sunday night fundraiser in San Francisco, California.

Obama raised a whopping $7.8 million in a series of events Sunday in San Francisco, a key fundraiser for the Democrat said. The campaign would not confirm the total, but, if accurate, it would present the largest Obama fundraising day to date.

Obama told his donors that the money was needed to help break through the public's cynicism about politics.

"The fact of the matter is, at a certain point, when government has not been serving the people for this long, people get cynical. They tune out. And they start saying to themselves, a plague on both your houses," Obama said.
"They are willing to consume negative information more frequently than positive information, for good reason. They've seen how promises haven't been kept."

Obama also warned his donors that the upcoming campaign would turn negative.

1. Negative campaign? Let's hope that means the Obama campaign is ready

to fight back like hell.

And if need be, turn negative too. Sorry, if it has to be done, then do it.

Not Obama himself, the campaign.

2. I think there may be a bit of confusion as to what 'negative' really means.

for me a negative ad is something that twists the truth and attacks the person more than his/her ideas and past votes, etc. There are a lot of ads directed to obama questioning his character based on just fiction.

the other negative, which is more effective I think and not so below the belt, is the Truth about some bad shit the opponent actually said or did on the record and not to be disputed. These is the kind of negative Obama is going to pound McCain with.

I am growing more confident each day that the Obama camp is just itching for a good rumble and waiting like a crouched tiger to spring at the right time.

We ain't seen nothin' yet!!!
Obama is fully aware what is at stake here and will give McCain both barrells at the opportune times.

exciting!
thsi is better than a good movie.
