Clinton Camp: "Our cash flow is good. Bills are being paid."

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y) communications director Howard Wolfson said Monday that the former first lady’s presidential campaign is raising “a considerable amount of money” and that its “cash flow is good.”

Wolfson reacted to reports stating that the campaign was experiencing a cash crunch during the home stretch of the primary season.

“Our cash flow is good. Bills are being paid. We are continuing to raise a considerable amount of money. We had the best fundraising month in the campaign's history last month,” said Wolfson on MSNBC. “We are continuing to do well this month. The support that we’re receiving over the Internet especially is very, very strong.”

...

The Clinton spokesman also criticized Obama for not doing enough to give Michigan and Florida a voice in the presidential selection process.

“Sen. Obama, despite talking about the importance of voter participation on the stump, has done everything he can to really kill plans in both states that would have provided an opportunity for voters there to participate again,” Wolfson said.

Bill is getting laid.

[thereismore]

2. "Cash flow." The cash flows from the pockets of donors straight into a toilet. nt

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

6. is that "Bagdad Bob" ?

refresh my memory.

[sabra]

10. yes it is...

[Erin Elizabeth]

7. About that last quote from Wolfson,

I have a friend who supports Hillary who keeps yelling about this, but I can never get specifics out of her. What EXACTLY is Obama doing to "kill plans in both states that would have provided an opportunity for voters there to participate again?"

Didn't BOTH of them disagree with the plans?

[grantcart]

13. yes

[Erin Elizabeth]

14. So then why are her campaign people stupid enough

to try to make it sound as if he's the only one who killed it if they both did?

Silly.

[grantcart]

36. really long story but go to Madfloridian's journal

You can read a long thread here http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5290035

[AmericanUnity]

28. REALLY!! Jan. CLINTON: "Michigan won't count" - if she was ahead she'd be on the other side

[SwampG8r]

45. hes

not going along with her "mi and fl count but only if i get the delegates"stratergy





before you flame me for spelling i spelled strategy incorrectly to point out, through the use of satire, that hillary is just bush all over again.

[Yael]

8. Hint to Camp Clinton: PAY YOUR BILLS

Fastest way to refute the rumor isn't by changing the subject to Michigan and Florida when you have Ohio vendors warning people to get cash up front and talking about how they regret voting for HRC.

[tekisui]

12. They have always been deflectors first.

[tekisui]

11. "The check is in the mail".

Bills are being paid: Bill Clinton being one of them.

[Mooney]

15. Our cash flow is good. Bill is being paid.

[uponit7771]

16. Hmmm, a bill for healthcare and not paying schools doesn't sound like anything is being paid

[Bigleaf]

17. Wolfson: Bills are being paid. At least Penn and I are getting paid. The others that are whining,

Fuck'em!

[bigtree]

18. I don't have the link, but Cspan radio is providing an opportunity to listen to the conference calls

[marmar]

19. Someone cue Destiny's Child:

can you pay my automo'bills?
then maybe we can chill
I don't think you do
so you and me are through

[NDambi]

20. hmmm

[DearAbby]

21. Check is in the mail

Hillary still has money, has too...she still has plenty of checks in her checkbook! :crazy:

[Willo]

24. Which bills?

[Bigleaf]

30. Yep, what bills are you talking about? Everybody has been paid.

[Alexander]

31. Not according to the Clinton campaign's financial statements.

[Debi]

25. Wonder if Howard would expand on that - what bills are being paid?

Howard's salary? Penn's salary? What about Iowa bills? What about New Hampshire bills?

Hillary Clinton for President - The Check's in the Mail :thumbsup:

26. """""Clinton owes her own high school money"""""""

Hillary Clinton’s campaign has made little secret that it has been routinely outspent by rival Barack Obama in the extended race for the Democratic presidential nomination and has been forced to curtail checks for some of its vendors and staff.

But stiffing your high school alma mater?

That’s apparently the case, according to federal campaign disclosure reports that show that among more than $8.7 million listed as debts, the Clinton campaign owed $3,161 to Maine South High School in Park Ridge for renting the school for an event, as well as for catering.

Clinton, then Hillary Rodham, was a 1965 Maine South graduate.

The Clinton campaign used the school’s Watson Auditorium for an election eve event prior to the Feb. 5 “Super Tuesday” balloting in Illinois and more than 20 other states. The event was a “town hall meeting,” broadcast on the Hallmark Channel, which allowed supporters across the country to question the candidate.

29. Now this is truly ironic and sad. n/t

[Ichingcarpenter]

32. She will be having a bake sale at the school with her famous cookies

[babylonsister]

33. So Wolfson's calling all these bill collectors liars? That won't sit well. nt

[billyoc]

34. My cash flow is pretty good too, but if you call me, let it ring twice, hang up and then call back.

You know, so I can know it's you and not another "donor". :eyes:

[Garbo 2004]

35. So far they're missing their March $3 million online fundraising target by almost 500K.

At least that's how it appears on the campaign's website.

[rodeodance]

37. Check again!! YES WE WILL!!~~ $ 3, 092, 825 ---passed the 3 mill goal

http://www.hillaryclinton.com/

3, 092, 825

36, 258

[Thepricebreaker]

43. She is spending more then she brings in... That 3 mil is already spent...

[rodeodance]

49. so what, she is bringing it in.

[kevinmc]

39. APRIL FOOL'S .. N/T

[DerekJ]

40. Is that a satire?

[billyoc]

42. Snipers got our courier! nt

[rainbow4321]

44. Uh, Mr Wolfson, about those Hy-Vee stores owed $ from January

and all those local school districts who have NOT been paid according to the FEC March 20th HRC IOU list.....Let's pick apart that FEC list and find the dates those services were "bought", shall we?? Forget a blanket statement of 'cash flow is good'

What about THOSE bills??? Not just your consultants who manage to get paid on time..but the small vendors

[workinclasszero]

47. All the people Hillary still owes money to in Iowa will be happy to hear that

the check is in the mail I'm sure.:rofl:

[powergirl]

48. Bills are being paid, as far as I know

I would be so embarrassed if my campaign did not pay small businessmen, like those sign/stage vendors. I would pay that out of my own pocket before I let that story get any traction. How can she salvage our economy if she doesn't even use Quickbooks???

:wtf:
