Donate and You Might Win A Lovely Prize!

What is up with presidential campaigns turning donating into some sort of
sweepstakes? Here's Obama's pitch:



Here's a "special offer" I received via email from the McCain camp:

We've come up with a special offer for our most dedicated supporters
as a token of appreciation. We're offering another opportunity to join
Senator McCain aboard the Straight Talk Express for a day on the
campaign trail during his upcoming "Service to America" bus tour.
You and a friend can join Senator McCain in his home state of Arizona
for the day, riding the bus and attending events culminating in a speech
at the Grand Canyon.

If you can make a donation of any amount between today and March
31st, you will be entered for the chance to win. Please follow this
link to make your donation right away. If you're able to give $50 or more,
we'll send you an exclusive, commemorative Straight Talk Express
Ticket.
