Barack Obama is really good at fundraising. His monthly kitty is usually in the 40-plus millions. Unfortunately he's burning through the cash just as quickly.

What you think the 200,000 Berliners just stood there for free?

Since the normal campaign appeals are only raising him a few dozen million, this week the campaign has upped the ante. "How can we add to Barack's rockstar, Bono-like image while maintaining the idea that he's the 2nd coming of Kennedy, Clinton and Reagan," they wondered.

The answer: Back stage passes. (Take that Billy Joel!)

Give to the Obama camp before July 31st and you are entered to win a chance to chill with The Obama's backstage before the big acceptance speech.

Ten supporters who make a donation in any amount by midnight this Thursday, July 31st, will be selected to fly to Denver, spend a couple of nights in a hotel, participate in the convention, and go Backstage with Barack. Each supporter who is selected will also get to bring a guest along to share the experience. Make a contribution of $5 or more today and you could have your own Backstage with

Barack story to tell

Donate here. (Spending cash for local strip clubs is not included.)

Hey, if you win make sure to send us pictures. Especially if you spot John Edwards hanging with his mistress. Or Hillary giving Obama the finger from backstage.
