PALIN RAISES MONEY -- FOR OBAMA! According to Drudge Report Obama scores $8 million since Palin's speech from over 130,000 donors - on pace to hit $10 million by the time John McCain hits stage, campaign says.

In an odd way, McCain has unified the base of the Democratic party even more than the convention has.

We may have preferred Hillary or Kucinich, or Edwards (pre-honesty) to Obama, but when faced with the prospect of this woman as VP, we realize it is time to come together and get Obama elected.

In some ways, that speech may have backfired by energizing, and scaring to death, the base of the democratic party.

I just made a donation to Obama also. I've never donated to any presidential campaign before, but after those disgusting speeches last night, I had to do my share to help get the democrats elected.

And I made a donation to Hillary recently to help her extinguish the campaign debt.

i donated to Obama a few months back. it was the first time in my life i have donated to any presidential campaign.

i just made another small (very small) donation this morning... only $25... i barely have the money for my rent, but i know that if i skip lunch for the next few days the money is better served for his campaign. i love this country too much.

and i can stand to lose a few! :)

I sent some last night and I just did after reading this. LOL McCain made news the other day for getting $7 over the weekend.

I will be making a donation soon as well. I think a bump in his donations after the GOP convention is a great idea.

I made donations after his big thursday night speach, plus I got a t-shirt and a car magnet. I also donated to the DNC and Move-On.org.

Thanks, Palin for your support. 10 million in 24 hours? Not bad, Not bad.

Y'all inspired me. I've donated a few times in the past to Hillary but now it's time to show those old Republican peckerwoods a united front. (It'll be peanut butter sandwiches till the end of the year!)

Yes Mamie...I too am dining on PB&J and easy mac(it's kinda old but it will do) but if Obama gets elected (and not the GOP) it will be worth it
