Barack Obama (who we have endorsed as the Democratic candidate for President and hope that our 2 million strong Caribbean Diaspora does the same) is said to have outdone Hillary Clinton in January campaign fundraising, with a record-setting month clocking US$32 million, with US$28 million of that raised online.
Barack’s US$28 million in online contributions came from more than 250,000 contributors- 90% were under $100, 40% were $25 or less and 10,000 people gave $5 or $10 to the campaign, Techcrunch reported.
All this comes one day before Super Tuesday, with Barack trailing Clinton by 1% in the California Polls, an important state for both parties. McCain who we clearly believe is the best Republican endorsement is leading the California polls with a comfortable margin.
We believe that when the United States votes this year, history will be made, it’ll either be the first woman President with first husband being a former president or the first black President who we feel will not assassinated some people’s thinking and fears.
The Republicans are going to be retired, pretty much how the Bruce Golding led Jamaica Labour Party sent home the Portia Simpson led People’s National Party. Americans, Caribbean people and indeed the world has heard enough and had enough of the Republicans. See barackobama.com and the facebook.com to join his group.
