How is McCain doing on his fundraising?

Some of the news most of the time, 236.com, has some comments about McCain's (who they call the "angry old man") fundraising....

Why won't you give your money to John McCain?

Hillary's campaign might have more debt than Wesleyan's class of 2009, but at least she knew how to raise some cash. While her campaign has sounded a call for much-needed donations, CNN reports that McCain has thus far raised less than half the donations of Clinton, and less than a third of Barack Obama. The McCain campaign has pulled in just over $80 million in total, while Clinton topped out at $194 million, and Obama pulled in a whopping $240 million to date. So what's John McCain have to do to get a little green?

Why can't John McCain raise more money? A poll....

  • You can only sign over so many social security checks before you start hitting the cat food
  • Most of his supporters still on barter system
  • Worried that all his campaign money will be subject to the inheritance tax when he dies of natural causes soon
  • No matter what he says he'll use it for, you know he's just gonna blow it all on blood pressure medication
  • Waiting for a candidate who'll come up with a "90 year-plan" for Iraq
  • Not giving him a dime until the McCain Girls write me back

It is pretty funny. Maybe McCain is being smart and lying low, and letting the Democrats implode. The pundits were more worried tonight about the democrats imploding from the infighting than they were for any real threat from McCain. If they spend most of their cash and time fighting each other, maybe they'll have less than $80 million left to use to fight McCain.

Other features of 236.com:

  • The 23/6 Hillary Clinton Post-Primary Morning Show Talking Point-o-Tron - All the talking head shows giving Hillary time to talk about her 10 point victory over Obama
  • dickipedia entry: Condoleezza Rice - Secretary of State, former NSA Advisor, incompetent foreign affairs expert, and a dick.

Obviously another website for Obama....
