Citing Iraq opposition, former Bush donors are swaying away to donate to McCain.


Thinkprogress:


A CQ analysis shows that only about 8 percent of the 62,800 donors who gave the maximum contribution of $2,000 to Bush in 2004 had given to McCain as of April 30. Moreover, at least 46 of Bush’s 2004 donors have contributed significantly to both Obama and Clinton but are not listed as McCain donors. One, a lifelong Republican who donated $2,000 to Bush in 2004, said that he will not donate to McCain because of the senator’s fervent support of the Iraq war:

I always considered myself a Republican, primarily because of a belief in smaller government. And if you want a smaller government, you don’t want wars — especially wars that can be avoided.

Yes it's all in the numbers and the money. Republicans knew McCain wasn't a qualified candidate and with the mess the Republican White House has made no wonder they get no money. All the honest Republicans don't want to have anything to do with the White House followers.

Things are so bad now Homer Simpson could win the Oval Office.
Republicans are doing the best they can to bring down Obama.
