The New York Times looks at Obama's fundraising network, and the paper focuses on the fact that Obama’s fundraising machine isn't just small donors; he's raised more from folks giving $1,000 or more than McCain as well.

Obama seems to have hit his stride now and will counteract every stupid claim McCain will try and throw at him. Obama did a great job contrasting it here with this reporter, so imagine what he'll be able to do to John on stage! Obama ought to be able to erase any doubts people might have between the two during the debates. We might even see the famous McCain temper if we're really lucky! He's almost there now!
