Will HRC handle the Nation's Economy like she is handling her campaign's financing?

[madmunchie]

Doesn't she have LOTS and LOTS of EXPERIENCE with campaign financing????? Shouldn't she be showing us how to properly handle campaign financing with all of that expertise?????? Makes you wonder now doesn't it?

[MichiganVote]

1. Better ask John McCain while you're at it.

[Deja Q]

11. Why?

I haven't kept up with his campaign. Is he struggling financially too?

[MichiganVote]

24. Well he was almost cooked until he took out a massive loan, now the GOP frontrunner

[Uben]

2. Uhhh

How do you know she is not using it very effectively? Last time I looked, she's ahead!

[yourout]

3. I am by no means a Hillary lover but this is uncalled for.

[Deja Q]

8. No, it is not uncalled for.

Other candidates in the past, under similar situations, got the same sort of response.

[Mags]

10. Obama people, don't care what is uncalled for, they are

totally turning off potential voters with their arrogance.

[sniffa]

12. You're turning off the zombie vote

Think about that!

[Mags]

16. get a life.

[sniffa]

17. Sorry about your other account

:hi:

[Mags]

18. What?????????

[Deja Q]

13. Then be happy.

That way, everyone votes for Hillary, she wins all...

And then we'll know who gets the most egg on their face. :P

I won't deny I'm leaning toward Obama, but I've cracked a few jokes his way and I'll do the equal time thing (put out more jokes aimed at him) if it'll make you feel better.

[madmunchie]

19. Why, finances are finances. Remember the MSM talking about Hillary's "War chest"?

Where is it? Why is she borrowing $5M from herself? Why is her campaign running so low on funds? This isn't a legitimate question? The Clintons have run in numerous political races, they know by EXPERIENCE how finances are spent in Presidential Races, afterall, there are 2 other POTUS races that they ran. What is going on now? Money and budgets are what they are. HRC keeps talking about experience being so important, well if it is, why doesn't experience help you in handling your campaign finances better??? Especially when you have a "war chest" that no one will be able to touch?

[Uben]

20. On what do you base your remarks?

I have heard of no malfeasance or mishandling of funds. Campaign funds are meant to be spent, not saved. You obviously have no experience whatsoever in this field. You spend what you have where you deem it necessary, and use funds as they come in to further buy ads and campaign sundry. It has nothing to do with mishandling money. What good is it to have money left once the campaign is over?

I'll forgive your ignorance, not everyone has a grasp on how things work. Peace!



DON'T TAZE ME BRO!

[madmunchie]

26. OK., So its just that Obama is out raising Hillary to the point that she has run thru her

War Chest and is coming up short? Short against a candidate that just entered the race 1 year ago - with virtually no name recognition????? No vast experience in running National Campaigns.... She had 100M advantage on his day 1 and a little over 365 days later, she is borrowing from her personal funds and he is raising more money than ever?????

[MzShellG]

25. Her judgement is questionable. That is relevant to the campaign.

Voters should take this into consideration.

[Sensitivity]

4. She knows what she is doing. Sure someone in Dubai is ready to write a check to Bill

so she can "loan" her campaign whatever is needed.

[Deja Q]

7. Dubai? Or Bangalore?

[Deja Q]

5. Didn't people ask the same of Paul Tsongas when he ran out of money during his campaign?

[rinsd]

6. So Obama outspending her to a tie shows he is somehow an economic guru?

[Deja Q]

9. A good response, yours.

Maybe he should save more; in turn a new insult will be flung his way.

Like how consumers are the cause of our economy's bad when not spending, or by spending too much, or when not saving enough, or not saving too much...

[rinsd]

14. The premise itself is ridiculous.

To equate candidate spending with their potential handle on the economy is just plain stupid.

They each gonna blow $150M for a job that pays $400K a year.

;-)

[Cameron27]

21. Hey, I'm just grateful that they didn't

try to connect it to hookers and blowjobs.

[realFedUp]

15. oh brother....

why did I bother...maybe ask Mitt Romney who
has put millions into his campaign and is the
regular Republican choice. It costs a lot of money, especially
in primaries that have been moved up and there is
no clear winner yet in this race. Howabout television
stations giving free airtime and not just debate
time to give the candidates time to talk about their
issues.

[Rosemary2205]

22. Nobody "handles" the economy - not Hillary, not Obama, not anyone.

All a president can do is move us a little bit toward more secure jobs and higher wages by tilting the pendulum back just a little toward workers. The damage done to this country by greedy fucking "trickle down" assholes will take decades upon decades to undo. If you expect any one administration or congress to wave a magic wand and make us all millionaires then you are bound to be disappointed.

Now - Hillary or Obama or McCain will have a chance to "handle" the BUDGET. -- which is a vastly different thing than the "economy".

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

23. Deluded.

Posted by BluegrassDem on Wed Feb-06-08 07:40 PM

I think this is a very serious issue. She's managed to blow all her campaign cash. She obviously doesn't know how to budget money properly. If she can't manage a $100 million campaign budget, how can manage a multi-trillion dollar federal budget? I'm very concerned with her fiscal management skills.
