1. Only difference is none of the GOPers really have ever had that much money.

5. Then why was McCain left for dead after his lack of money was reported? n/t

2. That was before the primarys started. Not after winning (and being the frontrunner). Big Difference.

4. You fail to mention that everyone thought McCain was toast back then

If you are going to find a difference between McCain and Clinton being out of money, find a relevant difference.

If the difference is so relevant, how come everyone thought McCain was toast in November after being out of money? Had they not heard about your strange theory that money matters only before a candidate has somehow managed to win without money?

8. McCain is winning

by default. Because the GOP'ers hate all the other candidates more.

Huckabee had no money and was a fringe candidate. Romney was too phony, Guiliani had a horrible strategy.

That left McCain.

None of that will happen on the Dem side.

3. Rove would be proud!

Comparing 3% support McCain to the candidate formerly known as "inevitable." Nice!

6. The problem is that Hillary is out largely because her donors have contributed the max

McCain was out because nobody believed he could win.

7. Mind reader?

Why not say that Hillary is not raising money because donors don't believe she can win?

I know, because that would be similar to McCain's case, and you are out to find as many differences as possible from McCAin's and Clinton's lack of money. Because the script must be "no money, no win".

9. The difference: Obama has a lot of doners, Clinton doesn't
