Amy Klobuchar's Campaign Manager called while I was out...

Since I didn't come close to maxing out in the early days of her campaign, I'm...surprised.

More seriously, I'm troubled. Campaign Managers have a lot of responsibilities; shaking a tin cup in front of marginal financial supports is not generally one of them. That's why you have a Finance Committee and minions.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

Amy has enough money to open new offices in Iowa. So don’t worry about her fundraising....

Unless, of course, you aren’t really worried about her staying in the race, but saw an opportunity to bash her.

Just to simplify my life, what future comments would NOT be considered "bashing"?

One that isn’t concern trolling.

If you truly want Amy to stay in, then donate to her. Don’t come here “concerned” about a phone call you got, when you are clearly supporting Pete.

...and I'd like to know she has a strong campaign organization.

As for "concern trolling", if you haven't figured it out yet, I don't care what you think about my comments. My situation position in the Party gives me access to unique situations, and I offer my thoughts to whomever is interested. As for my preferred candidate, I don't care if you come to support him or not. DU is not politics in the real world, and I'm not here to advocate in any particular direction.

She has raised less $ then others, yet is still in the race and expanding her campaign offices rather than contracting them. So I’d say she has shown her campaign has great money management.

If she gets the nomination, then Dems will financially support her. So don’t worry about her having enough money then.

And I couldn’t care less what unique situations you have access to with the attitude you are sharing your opinions with. In case you haven’t figured it out, I couldn’t care less about your commentary either.

At least the times I did some phoning for her in past campaigns. She and senior staff come in as do a hour or half hour.

A great moral boost.
