FROM BARACK OBAMA'S WEBSITE AND NEWSLETTER:

This afternoon, Campaign Manager David Plouffe sent out the following email:

In last night's debate, Joe Biden pushed for change and advocated for rebuilding our economy from the bottom up.

Sarah Palin couldn't identify a single way in which she and John McCain would change the disastrous policies of the Bush administration.

Watch this short ad we released today highlighting the stark differences between our campaigns.

Will you make a donation to help keep this ad on the air?

The ad zeroes in on what's wrong with McCain's approach to health care and the economy.

As he wrote in a recent magazine article, John McCain wants to deregulate America's health care industry in the exact same way he helped deregulate the banking industry and Wall Street. This reckless, "Wild West"-style deregulation is precisely what led to the ongoing economic crisis.

And as Sarah Palin confirmed last night, she and John McCain will continue to fight for tax cuts for the wealthy, Big Oil, and giant corporations while ignoring the fact that this trickle-down strategy has utterly failed under George W. Bush.

Please take a minute to forward this email. Make sure your friends see the ad and know the truth about John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Then will you make a donation of $100 to make sure people all over America see this ad before they vote?

So, in other words, the debate was an infomercial for Obama? This is the very thing I adhor about politics today. Let the debate be the debate, and don't turn it into a request for money, as if he even needed it. Slick, Obama - very slick.

well, he is not tying the debate to donations.
many of his posts in here ask for a donation.
not that unusual if you ask me.
all campaigns need money to be successful. McCain could sure use some help there also.
