#1 - Academics have donated $12.2 million to the Obama campaign and only $1.5 million to the McCain one, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. To put that in even greater perspective, Senator Clinton garnered $4.3 million in her race for the presidency from academics. This is for donors who gave $200 or more.
#2 - Right of Center talk show hosts (notably Mike Gallagher and Dennis Prager) made the claim today that General Powell's endorsement of Senator Obama was based on race. What nonsense. Powell as he has demonstrated throughout most of his political career made a careful and deliberate decision. One might not agree with either his reasoning or his conclusion - but it is a stretch to say that it was based on race.
