Did You Get That Memo? asked:


One of the humorous parts of being a Libertarian is that you get the candidates from each of the parties who dominate the Parliament of Whores shilling you for money. Yesterday Obama delivered the first pitch, and I mailed the postage paid envelope back today. Will this 42 cent blow to his campaign be fatal?

P.S. – Don’t worry, you Obama cultists, I will do the same when McCain the free speech choker comes calling for cash.

ZZ asked:


How much would it take to adequately fund a campaign/run for a city council member position? This would be in a city of ~ 350,000 residents in California. I’d like to know of an estimate dollar amount of the funds needed to meet all aspects of a city council campaign/run.

If possible, where can I find records of previous campaigns of similar size in California?

Gustavo D asked:


I want to purchase campaign materials in bulk from one of the presidential campaigns and was wondering what laws, if any, restricted me from selling the merchandise. I will be selling it at the same price as the campaign.

John asked:


I keep seeing more and more people with this false thought in their mind… Is the Clinton campaign sending mail or email or anything trying to convince voters that he is somehow a Muslim.

Furthermore, if she is caught, will anyone care? It seems like no matter what she does the media chooses to ignore it.

Tetris Panther asked:


They’re who we technically vote for. They’re nominated by their party in a similar manner the presidential candidates are nominated. They wouldn’t campaign in exactly the same way, of course. In one respect, they’d be campaigning on behalf of their party’s candidate. There are laws in 24 states punishing faithless electors, and in Pennsylvania, the candidate nominates his/her electors to discourage faithless electors, so why not?

chillin asked:


when the obama campaign made fun of mccain for not knowing how many houses he owned (because his wife is the legal owner of several, according to their prenup, so he wanted to be accurate) it was a “legitimate issue” . when the obama campaign asked if palin opposed the bridge to nowhere (even though he and biden voted for it, and decided against transfering the money to new orelans after katrina) it was “legitimate”. I think it is great that someone is asking these very legitimate questions. we don’t need a radical in the whitehouse.

Bill R asked:


I’m having a lot of trouble finding that information and don’t know why it’s not readily available on the typical campaign spending websites like Open Secrets and even the FEC didn’t have it available.

I know that John McCain is limited to 84.1 million dollars between the primary and election day but I am having a hard time finding out how much Barack Obama has to spend. I am trying to find out how much more money the Obama campaign has because he did not take the public financing. Please no political lectures here, I’m just trying to find the facts. I would like to have links to sites to confirm too. Thanks. You guys rock!
Well, it has been 3 days and so far no one has been able to actually answer the question with anything to back it up.
I am looking for some sort of proof, links, documents, something I can quote and use as a source. It is strange that the data is easy to find on the republican side but trying to find out how much money Obama has is proving difficult.
Please, please, please. Links, links, links. That information has to be out there somewhere!
How much money does each candidate have at his disposal during the course of this campaign?

funkmeraw asked:


And I say “their” campaign because it is clear that they are both running. I voted for Bill twice and I think he did a pretty good job as president although he made some mistakes. However, the contrast between the way Hillary is running her campaign and that of Obama is stunning. Obama is forced to defend himself from attack after attack. If Hillary had the goods, couldn’t she and Bill keep it positive?

Thoughts?
