See the items in today's DEMOCRACY NOW!'s headlines for details (http://www.democracynow.org). But you haven't asked the bottom line question: Just who's giving him all this cash ... and what do they expect in return? I don't think it's any mystery as to why he backed the bailout, after seeing the size of the checks he's getting from the financial industry, do you? As to why McCain's lagging ... maybe some of these bastards have decided to jump off a sinking ship and invest in a "rising stock" in Obama. Or maybe a large portion of potential campaign funds are going to voter suppression efforts ... that being the Republicans' last best chance to "win". Just supposition on my part ... any solid intel would be appreciated.
