Obama: The New Frank Lucas

"Frank Lucus aint the only one who made a million a day"

Say hello to the first million-dollar-a-day man in the 2008 White House race: Barack Obama.

Propelled by a dramatic Jan. 3 win in Iowa that startled the Democratic establishment, Obama hauled in a head-spinning $32 million in the 31 days of January, his campaign announced Thursday.

His eye-popping performance shattered the pace he set last spring, when he pulled in $33 million in three months - the most of any candidate in that period.

His money haul is almost certain to dwarf that of bitter rival Hillary Clinton.

Clinton boasted of raising $3 million eight days into January, but has largely been silent since. Her camp refused yesterday to put out her January numbers.

Ehh, none of the candidates really impress me so far. There still time, but no one is really interesting.

I still have no faith that the powers that be are going to allow Barack to win, but I am thoroughly impressed by the precedent he has set, and his wife is a problem all by herself. The money is to be expected though everyone wants to say that they were apart of history. I am so proud of him!!
