Isn't it Ironic that while Hillary claims Obama will have trouble beating McCain,
she is having trouble beating Obama?

She has also run out of money trying to do it.

1. She's just raised about 4 million dollars
And she didn't even need MoveOn.org to subsidize her.

What will Obama do in a couple weeks when all his supporters have to pay tuition for next semester?

7. "She has also run out of money ..."
ProSense tends to make rather sweeping statements and reprints spin. And one of his/her sweeping statements is what I responded to, NOT a new round of Obama gloats.

Hillary is not out of money. Say what you want to, wishful thinking won't alter what happens.

14. While over here they claim HC money problems weren't real....
So which is it?


"So it turns out the Clinton campaign may not be so cash-strapped after all — at least not at this very moment."

13. I'm not sure Obama can keep up the spectacular pace
I have a hunch that when Obama won Iowa a ton of fat cat Hillary donors figured that they didn't have a sure thing after all. So those guys cover their bets by giving a donation to Obama too. Data won't be published until 2/20/08 but I'd like to see how many current Obama donors were Hillary donors.

I'd expect these double down fat cats to move pretty quickly, so once that tide has shifted, Obama will probably go back to numbers closer to Hillary's.

5. Pity Donations
Let's see if she can keep that up for the rest of the campaign like Obama will. I'll bet the farm she can't.

9. Six mission per day until August
Obama is going to raise a billion dollars, right?

The bubble will collapse as soon as he gets a little bad or "uncool" press and college tuition is due next month. Obama needs to handle making the transition from a sprint to a marathon.

That doesn't sound as sexy as a gloat, but it's what he needs to keep going after March.

4. Hillary spent 118 million dollars and can't get 'her message' out, yet TeamClinton has claimed
for years that only THEY can handle the corporate media enough to get their message out.

Uh.....didn't they lead the attacks against Gore then Kerry with that concocted line of bull just to pretend that election fraud was NOT happening on their watch?

Now it turns out THEY are the ones getting their 'message' distorted.

11. Isn't it Ironic that Hillary
Assures India of continued outsourcing of America's jobs, yet while campaigning she tells all she hates outsourcing America's jobs.


By John Solomon and Matthew Mosk
Washington Post Staff Writers
Saturday, September 8, 2007; Page A01

When Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton flew to New Delhi to meet with Indian business leaders in 2005, she offered a blunt assessment of the loss of American jobs across the Pacific. "There is no way to legislate against reality," she declared. "Outsourcing will continue. . . . We are not against all outsourcing; we are not in favor of putting up fences."

Two years later, as a Democratic presidential hopeful, Clinton struck a different tone when she told students in New Hampshire that she hated "seeing U.S. telemarketing jobs done in remote locations far, far from our shores."
