UPDATE
At 4:25PM BHO Passed the $66,000 benchmark (And his bar was justifiably raised to $100K -Colbert's original goal!). How much more can we give in the next 28 days? Someone has to fund the classrooms that Clinton's supporters won't. Why not show our true colors and make up the difference?
Since STEPHEN COLBERT'S Doritos Spicy/Sweet PENNSYLVANIA PRIMARY COVERAGE LIVE FROM CHILADELPHIA (The City of Brotherly Crunch) was announced on the last week both my good friend mffarrow and I have been providing periodic Leaderboards for the ""Democralypse Now PA Straw Poll"
In case this is new to you I quote myself...
To clarify for those who were unaware of this, on Wednesday Stephen Colbert, in conjunction with DonorsChoose.com, announced he is conducting a Pennsylvania Primary Straw poll. You support your candidate by making a tax deductible donation to a school project in Pennsylvania. The candidate who raised the most (in comparison to Colbert's $66K in his failed SC Primary bid) shall be declared the winner
Now, regardless of your leanings your tax deductible donations directly help kids in underfunded programs so I urge you to donate to either Clinton or Obama or a school in your state or anywhere. Let's see that these kids don't get left behind whilst waiting for a Democrat in the White House.
Well, I let it slide over the holiday weekend but to recap, when last we left it the totals were...
