Obama campaign brings in too much money for FEC database to track. Still using an abacus to count McCain's money.

A milestone of sorts was reached earlier this year, when Obama, the Illinois senator whose revolutionary online fundraising has overwhelmed Clinton, filed an electronic fundraising report so large it could not be processed by popular basic spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel 2003 and Lotus 1-2-3.

Those programs can’t download data files with more than 65,536 rows or 256 columns.

Obama’s January fundraising report, detailing the $23 million he raised and $41 million he spent in the last three months of 2007, far exceeded 65,536 rows listing contributions, refunds, expenditures, debts, reimbursements and other details. It was the first report to confound basic database programs since 2001, when the Federal Election Commission began directly posting candidates’ fundraising reports online in an effort to make political money more accessible and transparent to voters.

Damn which candidate does not want to have this problem?

I had a conversation at work with some of my female co-workers, one of which blamed my support of Obama on "hanging out with the wrong crowd". I am guessing that the crowd I am "hanging out with" is the vast majority or the American people.

You know that group is always leading me astray.
