Obama’s approval numbers are rising steadily. But that doesn’t mean he can be confident in the swing states that will be critical in determining the outcome of the 2012 election. He will need to win about half of the electoral votes supplied by Michigan, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and New Hampshire. I mean, he won all of those states in 2008, but let’s not forget that some of those 12 ...

 He can collect a lot of money, but is it a smart thing to do in recession times? The powerful re-election machine behind Barack Obama has already set a pace of fundraising almost certain to beat records for the amount of money flowing into American politics. Campaign, called Obama for America, and the Democratic National Committee together brought in a staggering $220m in 2011! That amount of cash should easily put Obama's team on course to beat the $750m they brought in during 2008.His campaign has already shown a remarkable ability to raise an enormous amount of money and Obama himself has been at the front of the effort. Last week, he went to New York where he attended two dinners on the same night at the same Manhattan restaurant. One cost $5,000 a head for a place and the other $15,000. A third dinner at the home of movie director Spike Lee coasted $35,800 a plate. Democrats will also try to emulate their 2008 success by mobilizing an army of small donors. In 2011, more than 1.3 million Americans gave money to the Obama campaign, with 98% giving $250 or less. Those willing to donate the $5,000 legal maximum are going to be offered access to special campaign events in return for their generosity. It is believed that Obama's team could eventually top $1bn in election spending. Such amount of cash will give the Democrats a powerful weapon to fight what is expected to be a closely contested election because Republicans are expected to raise similar amounts of money. Democrats are already spending. Last week they launched its first TV ad of the election which focused on energy policy. It is on air in key states like Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Virginia and South Carolina, all of which Obama won in 2008 and may be important for his victory again. All this is very nice but there are two questions there. The first one is whether big money from wealthy individuals, labor organizations or corporations has too much influence on the political system? That’s an old one and we still haven’t found the answer. The second one has to be- is it appropriate to spend millions and millions in times of economic and financial crisis? They will spend all this money, to make people with no money, to vote for them. Something is not right. Right? |
