Clinton raises campaign cash for Bernie

Clinton attacks produce windfall of campaign cash for Sanders
Sanders’s underdog campaign said it is seeing a surge of contributions as a direct result of the new attention it is getting from the Democratic front-runner, with money coming in at a clip nearly four times the average daily rate reported in the last quarter of 2015.

“As of now, we are at about $1.4 million raised since yesterday when the panic attacks by the Clinton campaign began,” Briggs said. “We’ve gotten 47,000 contributions. We’re projecting 60,000 donations.”

A New York Times-CBS News survey released Tuesday showed Clinton leading Sanders by just seven percentage points, 48 percent to 41 percent, among Democratic primary voters. A month ago, that same poll showed her with a 20-point lead nationally.
“I am not nervous at all,” Clinton said in an interview Wednesday on NBC’s “Today” show.
“I’m excited about where we are.”

My husband and I donated $100 yesterday in addition to our monthly donation. When the whole hack-gate drama broke, I donated three times in one day. HRC is a great fundraiser for Bernie.

Way to go Hillary!

can change on a dime if he wins Iowa and New Hampshire. The media can't ignore it and the people in SC and NV will start to learn about Bernie, which is a great thing.

To put the icing on the cake, the article ends with quotes about Bernie from Biden's interview this week. ha!

getting ready to make another donation to Bernie but may do it through that other site (where Omaha Steve has also set up a Bernie donation link) rather than here.

Remember how Obama asked people to help retire Hillary Clinton's debt in 2008?

since the JFK vs Nixon in 1960 and have never ever seen anything like this,the momentum and wow the 47,000 contributions,
its unbelievable. Bernie Sanders is going to win. He's going to win Iowa and NH and onward.
If Hillary's desperation tactics continue (and they will) it certainly will be 2008 all over again.

I actually remember Ike and Adli Stevenson debates but that was as a first grader.
So been a progressive Democrat for 64 years....
