    You mean his jet? In the same way that McCain has a jet and flies courtesy of the Repub campaign?
    But he often cheats: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/27/us...s/27plane.html

    I can smell the desperation from here. Good luck!

    Did McCain use his jet to fly to Hawaii on vacation during the campaign ?

    My point is that both campaigns have spend rediculously in this campaign . Obama spend much more $$ than the RNC did for her clothes just to make his stage for his acceptance speech look like Mount Olympus.

    When you have more donors and more money you can do that.

    That justifies it ? Why doesn't Obama release the names of his small donors? $200 million + has been donated without a name attached to it.

    Obama has successfully bucked the stupid campaign reforms that the Democrats and McCain enacted .

    Good ;let the canard called "campaign finance reform" wither on the vine and let McCain get hoist with his own petard . He reached across the aisle to create one of the worse pieces of legislation in our history.

    But I guarantee that once Obama is in the Dems will quickly draft and pass their own expanded version of the Incumbent Protection Bill.

    Nah, won't happen - that was a part of Bush's unique ethics... or lack thereof. We will see.

    Hello again,

    Speaking of Obama's Greek temple and wasteful spending...

    Quote:

    In its FEC filing, the host committee said it incurred $53.67 million in operating expenses and spent $53.86 million.

    Most of that money went to pay expenses of the Democratic National Convention Committee, the party organization that staged the DNC. Nine percent of the host committee’s money went to pay its own expenses, which included salaries, marketing and staging various events off the convention grounds.

    Convention expenses paid by the committee included $14.1 million for construction costs, including the stage and lighting, at the Pepsi Center and $5.3 million at Invesco Field.

    And they aren’t finished paying yet:

    The group said it has $7.1 million on hand but still is receiving invoices from contractors. It plans to file an updated report with those expenditures later.
    5.3 million for Obama's Greek temple and you people are complaining of Palin getting dressed up as a potential VP should. And this from the people supporting the candidate who has raised and spent more money on his campaign than anyone else ever. I wonder what kind of good could have been done with all those fraudulent donations from Daffy Duck?

    By the way, she's sending the clothes back in favor of her own clothes from her "favourite consignment shop in Anchorage."
