The accolade and respect for the Obama campaign is just starting.....
If he has run this amazing campaign. Imagine what he can do as president.

The Atlantic Magazine's story on Obama's fundraising prowess.:

''The story of Obama's success is very much a story about money. It provided his initial credibility. It paid for his impressive campaign operation. It allowed him first to compete with, and then to overwhelm, the most powerful Democratic family in a generation--one that understood the power of money in politics and commanded a network of wealthy donors that has financed the Democratic Party for years''.

......and

''Obama is a gifted politician by anyone's measure, but what distinguishes him from earlier insurgents is his ability to fully harness the excitement that his candidacy has created, in votes and in dollars. Three forces had to come together for this to happen: the effect of campaign-finance laws in broadening the number and types of people who fund the political process; the emergence of Northern California as one of the biggest sources of Democratic money; and the recognition by a few Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and venture capitalists that the technology and business practices they had developed in their day jobs could have a transformative effect on national politics''.

In the future when political campaign's are studied. Obama's will be the case study on how it should be done.
