Thank you soooooooooooooo much to everyone who has donated to The Obama Diary’s fundraising drive at OFA – you’re complete gems.

Please be assured, this money goes direct to Obama/Biden 2012, not a single cent goes to this blog!

If you have a few dollars to spare, to help reach that $8,000 target, that’d be great – if you don’t, no problem at all.

Thank you everyone, love ya. 😉

elves! lots of them!

MSNBC: President Obama’s standing has improved in Florida, always a key presidential battleground state. Forty-six percent of registered voters in the state approve of his job, which is up five points since October.

In hypothetical match-ups, the president leads Romney by seven points (48 to 41 percent) and Gingrich by 12 points (51 to 39 percent).

In South Carolina – a reliable Republican state in presidential contests – Obama’s approval rating stands at 44 percent, and he holds narrow leads over Romney (45 to 42 percent) and Gingrich (46 to 42 percent).
