...having raised or help raise at least a quarter of a million dollars over the last few years for candidates, I have some basic competence when I talk about the legalities and logic of fundraising. Those are my credentials right there. You're some clueless schmuck who manages to log on to a blog; that's your competence level.

What I'm telling you now is that it's illegal for a PAC to solicit money for a candidate in this way (unless it's a personal PAC, which the one you're citing is not). It's also ineffective, because donation limits apply, see above. So if this company was calling Liza, they were either doing business under false pretenses (which I very highly doubt, because they'd be fined out of business), or they were working as a sub-contractor for Obama, likely on a commission basis.

Which is completely fine and standard operating procedure for raising money. They probably got her name and number off someone else's fundraising list. This kind of work is often outsourced, by the way; no matter how many volunteers you have. Volunteers don't do fundraising, normally, because of compliance issues, or what you so stupidly refer to as 'finding ways around all sorts of laws'. The FEC frowns on that, jackass, as do all campaigns possessed of what you so manifestly do not have, a "clue".

Regarding your breathtakingly stupid claim that Obama does not presently need to raise money, let me just refer you to this article in WaPo, which does a nice job of laying out the dynamics. All the top Dem contenders have opted out of public financing, which means that they will be raising money non-stop between now and the end of the primary. The idea that anyone could ever have enough or 'too much' money in this day and age is preposterous.

You're doing a lousy job of defending your boy Obama here, Wallner. He's got incredibly smart people supporting him, but you're obviously not one of them. It's astonishing that someone who knows so little about politics spends so much time posting about them, frankly. Perhaps you should try blogs devoted to gardening or some such, because you sure as hell are not competent to talk about anything having to do with politics.
