HRC supporters She NEEDS your $$$$$$$$$

[GoldieAZ49]

Her advisors/aides are working without pay for Feb

HRC loaned herself $5 millon

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/02/06/clinton_loaned_her_campaign_5m.html

The loan should help. More money coming in online will also keep the Clinton campaign afloat -- campaign officials said they were seeing one of their best days of online fundraising today, though they would not release a number.

Still, that she felt a need to make the loan "means she's at a tremendous disadvantage moving forward," said Trippi. "The worst thing to be is an 800-pound gorilla who's out of money."

1. That reminds me. I need to donate to Obama.

[GoldieAZ49]

6. Me too, was glad to be a part of it in Jan

and will continue

[Kittycat]

12. We're putting some funds his way tomorrow.

[kid a]

41. just gave 100 to Obama

[krkaufman]

60. Tacky, my fellow. You don't know how many voters you just lost for Obama in November. n/t

[Whisp]

65. here's a quarter, Hillary, have a rat chew that thing off your face.

a donation from Uncle Buck.

[adabfree]

Hurry Now Hillsters....Obama's already raised 2.2M in 24 hrs..

Hurry...hurry..

[GoldieAZ49]

7. Whaaaaaa? they are not putting their money where their mouth is??

[bigtree]

38. Is it the money speaking, or Obama?

[bicentennial_baby]

2. The loan was made in January

I assume much of it is spent by now.

[andyrowe]

4. Plus it was part of her 13 million for the month

Obama got 32 million and nearly 200,000 new donors.

[VolcanoJen]

46. It was in addition to her $13.5 million for the month.

http://www.time-blog.com/swampland/2008/02/the_clintons_put_their_money_o.html

Karen Tumulty: UPDATE: A number of our commenters wonder whether this $5 million loan is part of the $13.5 million that Clinton Chairman Terry McAuliffe had previously announced for January, or in addition to it. A campaign official tells me that this is in addition to the $13.5 million.

[GoldieAZ49]

9. yes and she is asking for help

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iU_P23eyGmxqE8EEa7ba6r86BpIwD8UL3QCG3

Clinton's personal loan illustrated her financial disadvantage and her desire to pick her targets with care. On Wednesday, she sent out an e-mail appeal to donors Wednesday seeking $3 million in three days — an effort, that if successful, would match the fundraising rate Obama averaged for the entire month of January.

[earthlover]

26. Good thing Hillary is rich as hell!

Not everyone has $5 million to loan their own campaign.

[GoldieAZ49]

31. and thats not much for all the money they have

[earthlover]

35. Isn't it ironic that the Hillary Herd try to knock Obama for the rich voting for him....

But they ignore an inconvenient truth...Hillary is very, very, very rich

[GoldieAZ49]

36. and the majority of Obama supporters are in the $200 and under

If they read some of the things Hillary has said, she only courts the rich

Unless of course she is creating mandates to be garnished from your wages

[SoFlaJet]

3. I love Trippi

BTW...I will NOT be sending any money and it feels SO GOOD to NOT donate!!!

[GoldieAZ49]

8. Well Bill just got $31 million

huh, maybe he could make a loan

[Hieronymus]

22. Nor I...

[GoldieAZ49]

5. thinning out the staff

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/02/06/clinton_loaned_her_campaign_5m.html

Update: Time's Mark Halperin reports a rumor that I've heard circulating among campaign sources for weeks: Top Clinton aides are working without pay to save the campaign money. Hard times call for hard measures. While this is generally a bad sign for a campaign's bank account, it's not always a bad thing. It can separate loyalists from fair-weather operatives and turn bloated, consultant-run operations into lean, focused machines. Just ask John McCain, who pulled a similar maneuver earlier this cycle.

[TexasObserver]

10. I can't believe her supporters aren't sending more money!

What gives with all these hardcore Hillary supporters?

She's great, but not worth the price of that holiday cruise?

[BootinUp]

11. Thanks for your concern, but I note their have been at least 5 threads

probably more with nothing but people contributing.

[GoldieAZ49]

15. I think Obama had $20 million

in under $200 each catagory

If I remember the Jan #'s correctly

[nonconformist]

18. Maybe it's because most of us are working class and we can't afford to give

like Obama's upper-middle class support.

[GoldieAZ49]

21. $200 or less is "upper middle class" I don't think so

and those made up $20 million of his January donations

[nonconformist]

27. Well, that's who his supporters are. nt

[GoldieAZ49]

29. wrong

look it up

He has wide range appeal, but go look up the base of his contributors

you make a baseless claim

Hillary has the corporations and hollywood stars donating

[nonconformist]

49. Are you saying that the upper middle class Democrats aren't supporting Obama?

Because they are. Along with his moderate Republican support, that is. All statistics say that. They also say that the working/lower middle class Democrats are supporting Hillary.

[GoldieAZ49]

57. that is not what the FEC shows and that is who they have to report to

what "statistics" are you referencing. Links of "ALL" please.

Hillary's supporters are PAC's and Lobbyist....hardly the working/lower middle class

Tho she is trying, by not paying her staff for Feb, all for the good of, er, well, her.

[GoldieAZ49]

33. and now she is not paying her staff

you want to work for a month with no pay?

[TexasObserver]

34. Pobre Cito

Maybe Hillary and Bill can share some of their $45 million in savings with you.

If you're working class, why are you supporting the Clintons? They've made $50 million since Hillary took office. Does that sound like a public servant to you, or someone with their snout fully in the trough?

[nonconformist]

47. Because she's a liberal and because of her health care policy, for starters.

I could go on and on, but that's the main reasons. What on earth is Obama going to do for me? You should read into his policies a bit more.

And how much money the Clintons have is completely irrelevant. I was (am) a staunch Edwards supporter, and he's rich too. So what? They're politicians. Obama is a millionaire, too.

[GoldieAZ49]

58. What is Obama going to do for YOU??

He is going to ask you to do something, anything to improve your area, neighborhood, community etc.

He is going to create opportunity for all of us. A healthcare program we can afford to pay for.

What do you want, him to give you money....just cuz your wonderful? The government doesn't make money, they use ours, ie: taxes. You want to be bribed with your own money by a politician? Obama isn't doing that.

Go vote for Edwards if thats what you want.

[earthlover]

28. She can always hit up Rupert Murdoch for help in a pinch....

[geek tragedy]

13. Man, when you have Joe Trippi lecturing you on money . . . n/t

[JVS]

14. Mortgage your houses at variable rates.

Don't worry, she'll bail you out.

[GoldieAZ49]

17. LOL...had to read that twice!!

[OzarkDem]

16. Donating today n/t

[TeamJordan23]

19. Bill just recently got a $20 million payout recently from a private equity firm. nm

[GoldieAZ49]

25. now we know why she wants weekly debates

free advertising

[zulchzulu]

20. Give her a buck

It costs about two bucks to process the transaction.

:rofl:

[BootinUp]

23. Youre hilarious

its time to say goodbye to you again.

[zulchzulu]

64. Apostrophes are fun!

Try one sometime. They are in the English language...

[GoldieAZ49]

24. Gomama needs a new pair of Hsu's

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Yuugal]

53. Oh man, thats cold!

:rofl:

I'd be happy to donate but her buddy Murdoch downsized my ex-wife's job and Nafta sent my gf's job to Mexico. Sorry Hillary.

[comfycouch]

30. Wasn't McCain broke for a few months?

Yet that was exactly when he came from behind. There is still hope for Hillary.

[GoldieAZ49]

32. in the summer of 07, not in the midst of primary season!!!

[MoonRiver]

37. I gave earlier today!

:kick: & :thumbsup:

[Tarheel_Dem]

39. Heard on KO, that Obama's one day figure has been revised

from $3 mil to $4.3 million in ONE day. OMG, people really must believe in him and his vision for the future of this country. If he has a few more days like this, he might even break January's record of $32 mil.

[IndyOp]

45. Obama's one day figure revised again - $5.4 million

as of 10:20 p.m. EST.

http://my.barackobama.com/page/contribute_c/sincefeb5_email/graphic

[Tarheel_Dem]

50. you've gotta be kidding me.....

that has got to set some kind of record. I'll say this for Obama supporters, they support him when's he up, and when he's down. I haven't given any actual money to anyone this cycle but Edwards, but since I got that nice letter from Sen Obama, I might have to kick in a couple bucks.

[IndyOp]

52. It's risen $100,000 - now $5,521,214

http://my.barackobama.com/page/contribute_c/sincefeb5_email/graphic

It updates every few minutes.

:wow:

[Tarheel_Dem]

54. ....

:wow: is right. This is incredible.

[GoldieAZ49]

62. $6,534,961 at 1am Feb 7 mountain time

[Tarheel_Dem]

63. well Obama is clearly winning the money race, and HRC is whining

for free air time (debates). Sounds like she's raised some money overnight, not quite sure how much.

[jasmine621]

40. Just sent my contribution. nt

[cottonseed]

42. Warm blankets and creamed corn is welcome.

nt

[JKaiser]

43. I donated to hillary today!! I am glad I was able to help!

I am going to contribute Friday as well when I get paid again!! The littlest bit helps!

[calteacherguy]

44. It will be interesting to see the momentum of both candidates going forward.

I respect anyone who cares enough to donate to a Democrat, despite my personal preference. ;-)

[Tarheel_Dem]

51. I agree, it means we're able to erase the money gap with the Repubs

for the general. GO DEMS!

[CyberPieHole]

48. I sent $250.00 not much but it's the most I can give at the moment...

She needs our support AND some cash to fight against the spurious attacks from Obama.

:kick: and rec

[csorman]

55. Oh yeah, all those attacks from Obama!

And NONE from the Clinton camp - they are squeaky clean, right? Oh wait, you probably just think she's forced to defend herself. My stars.

[CyberPieHole]

56. Psssssst...

shoo fly.

*reaches for the iggy button

[GoldieAZ49]

61. Note that she LOANED her campaign $5 Million, the donations are going to have to pay her back

[Thrill]

59. She wants you to donate now. She's going to take it if she is elected

[ElsewheresDaughter]

66. just called in another $150.....Hillary asked me to thank you
