Hopefully their donation limits will apply for the inauguration as well. In contrast, Bush set a very conservative donation limit of $250,000 per entity for his second inauguration. Only 40 or so companies ultimately were able to scrape that together in 2005. - Jonathan Le Plastrier

I see Obama has an answer for this as well : "Barack Obama’s inaugural committee is limiting the amount of donations that it will accept to $50,000." - Jonathan Le Plastrier

If the elections were held right now, looking at this analysis, it all comes down to four states: Nevada, Colorado, New Hampshire, and Virginia. If Obama wins Nevada and New Hampshire, and McCain wins Colorado and Virginia...well then ladies and gentlemen we will have a tie election. - jonathan

Why do I--a big Tarantino fan--secretly not want this movie to be made? Is it because Tarantino's style does not belong in a movie that has any base in reality, let alone something as serious as WWII? - jonathan
