Hillary raised 2.8 million in the last 69 hours.

[AGirl]

Telling Hillary to drop out is stupid and useless and counterproductive since Hillary supporters CLEARLY don't want her to give up. Hillary can drop out all she wants, but it won't unite the party. What's disgusting about the call for Hillary to quit is the obvious disregard of the Hillary supporters who support Clinton's candidacy. Telling Hillary to drop out is a big 'FUCK YOU' to Hillary supporters. So if you want to send that message, go ahead.


edited: Hillary has raised $2,819,845 so far and there's 3 hour 41 minutes left, I expect she WILL receive 3 million dollar in the next three hour (maybe she already have and the meter isn't updated yet) :)

[gateley]

1. I keep waffling on this,

but it can't be denied that her supporters are committed and working hard on her behalf.

[AGirl]

2. Yup.

[Guava Jelly]

4. Kudos to them

You should care about your candidate!

[Tellurian]

50. Great News... Hillary is in her element..

She functions best under pressure and this is when she is at her strongest.

Obama's lies are starting to catch up with him. Nothing as petty as the Kennedy/Airlift flap with his father. Flat out Lies done to his constituents during his Legislative years and possibly illegal campaign finance issues..

I take this opportunity to thank my candidate Hillary for blocking and standing in the way of Obama's nomination. The man has not been vetted and he's in too much of a hurry to ram his nomination down our throats. I'm not in that much of a hurry to have a man I know nothing about sitting in the Executive seat of the World's Only Super Power.

I'm sure Teddy was surprised at the fomenting hatred coming out of Pastor Wright's mouth and Obama sitting there soaking it up for 20yrs after all the work two of his brother did for the Civil Rights Movement.

Never in the history of US elections has a man come forth with so little credentials and proof of productivity to be elected to this country's presidency. This is not the time for experimentation with unproven individuals when crisis after crisis plagues this country. Watch the History of John Adams and George Washington. Adams and Jefferson crafted the Declaration of Independence and Washington defeated the British..We haven't fallen so far away from our great country's goals to settle for so little being offered by Obama. We're not about to start now.

It's going to be a long haul, at least until August. As far as I know, Hill supporters are in it for the duration. It's going to be a very long night.. We're in it to WIN and have no plans on backing down. We know we can do better with both Clintons at the helm, even if you don't!

[polpilot]

62. Pro-War, Pro-McCain is a large part of America. Obama has a hard fight on his hands.

[Tellurian]

63. Obama is not the man to fight McCain.. The Clintons are the only ones who can beat the Repubs..

[Hawkeye-X]

93. Got any relevant links to prove it?

:boring:

Since Obama leads everything but the SD (and he's going to overcome that SD gap REALLY soon) - what's the point?

[merh]

88. Well, now you have provided some very interesting clarification.

From your post:

We know we can do better with both Clintons at the helm, even if you don't!

So you aren't just supporting Hillary, you are supporting a co-presidency and to an extent, a violation of the Constitution. (You know a violation of that silly ole amendment prohibiting a president from serving more than two terms.)

I can't believe this is your position. Whatever came of the Hillary is qualified on her own.

That co-presidency thing you are promoting will surely secure a victory for McCain.

Can you imagine those McCain ads -- the blue dress in the background and a voice saying "isn't this stain a part of our past, elect McCain and keep it that way"


unfriggin believable - at least you have told us all what you support of Hillary really is.

[NightWatcher]

3. that knocks her debt from 8.7 mill to 5.7 mill?

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/03/debt-be-not-pro.html

Debt Be Not Proud
March 31, 2008 6:04 PM

The $8.7 million in debts owed by Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign as of her last Federal Election Commission filing deadline are staggering for their breadth and range.

The debts date back to last Fall, to states long ago decided -- an October 10 event in New Hampshire,for instance, for which the Boston Symphony Orchestra is listed as being owed $29,617.70.

Iowa Hy-Vee supermarkets are owed $14,956.24.

Seemingly every facet of human existence is represented in Clinton's unpaid bills. Atlanta's Catering with a Flair, Inc. -- owed $10,250.00. The Texas portapotties of A Clean Portoco -- owed $1,851.08.

Aetna Healthcare - owed $228,841.30. CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield - owed $62,744.52.

Schools and universities seem particularly hard-hit, as they were frequent locations for events, and often offer catering.

Southern New Hampshire Univ. Athletic Department - $9,542.80. San Diego State University - $10,000.00. Cuyahoga Community College $3,540.00. Dartmouth College - $2,489.00.

Clinton owes $3,161 to Maine South High School in Park Ridge, Illinois.

That's her own alma mater!

[thunder rising]

8. And assuming all 3M are primary eligible funds. Hill funders have deep pockets, but they are over

the limit.

[AZ Criminal JD]

40. That was the Obama line from two months ago.

[Arkansas Granny]

72. Not all who have donated to Hillary have deep pockets, There's me for one.

I would suppose that many of her supporters send small amounts when they can do so. I have never been able to send more than $100.00 at any one time to any candidate that I have supported, but I have made numerous smaller donations. Even small contributions add up for a candidate.

[John Q. Citizen]

20. That's OK. They owe her the presidency. So they are even. Sorta.

[OzarkDem]

42. Should be debt free in a few more days...

Your point?

Thanks for reminding me to make a donation..

[Debi]

77. We'll see on April 20th when her March report is due n/t

[earthlover]

47. I wonder if Hillary will pay off these debts with this money?

I know....fat chance.

[TAWS]

5. Way to Lie, she hasn't raised 3 million yet, it says on her homepage she's at 2.8 mil lol

[AGirl]

6. LOL OMGZ. You caught me!!! OMGz.

[Cant trust em]

10. 200K is not a big deal

the point remains that her fundraising is strong.

[AGirl]

12. She *is* going to reach 3 million in 4 hours.

[Forkboy]

19. .....

:eyes:

[Cant trust em]

7. I hope she stays in, but chills out

Some of her attacks have been nasty. I accept that attacks and going on the offensive are part of politics, but she crossed a few boundaries, IMO.

Just to be fair, Obama has attacked too, but not like Clinton.

[AGirl]

9. Everyone needs to chill out.

[Guava Jelly]

14. I agree

:)

[LiberalAndProud]

15. chill out.

:toast:
Could use some of that around here.

[SoFlaJet]

11. excellent

now all you guys have to do is raise a million a day for the rest of the month of April and hope Barack's support COMPLETLY dries up and you'll only be behind by 3 million

[AGirl]

16. excellent.

[JTFrog]

13. Then she should pay her bills instead of the big FUCK YOU she's giving to the schools and small

businesses that supported her.

The longer she stays in the more debt she'll accrue. She's not raising it fast enough to pay her debts and still afford to competitively campaign for the rest of the primary.

[AGirl]

17. and i suppose you give a shit about how she runs her campaign because you support her?

[JeffR]

30. She's have more support if basics like her campaign's fiscal conduct

weren't so wide open to criticism. Just sayin'.

[AGirl]

33. I am sure you would want nothing more than to make sure her campaign is operating smoothly...

seeing that you are an Obama supporter and all..

[JeffR]

38. Yes, ever since his speech on race.

Long time, hardcore supporter here.:eyes:

[JTFrog]

67. I give a shit because it's representative of how she would run the country.

JFC

Pull your head out.

[gal]

84. How she runs her campaign is a legitimate issue.

She is campaigning on watching out for the little guy, but she isn't doing that with her campaign. Many many have to go to the press before they get paid.
You can't have it both ways. Either your working for them, which means you pay them what you promised as you used thier service, if you can't afford to pay them then you pay them out of your own pocket if you want to keep running.

If she can't manage her campaign how will she manage this country? It's a legitimate issue.

[BeyondGeography]

18. Everyone's health insurance premiums can be paid in full then?

NAHHHHHHHHHHHH.

[PoliticalAmazon]

21. Good. Now she can pay her campaign debts before she quits. n/t

[Tellurian]

60. She's NOT quitting.. and they announced on the 7pm news most of her debt has been covered..

I hope you sleep better tonight because she's all set!

[Hawkeye-X]

94. Got proof of the debt being covered - and does it go all the way back to Iowa?

I highly doubt it. I'm sure the bills include Penn who demands his $2M/month payment and always get paid for it, stiffing the little guys.

Please provide proof of that statement. And as usual, you will unable to provide the proof.

Hawkeye-X

[Yael]

22. Excellent! So when can the Iowa vendors/schools/counties expect to be paid?

[AGirl]

23. I don't know, why don't you ask the HIllary campaign if you are so concerned about her candidacy?

[Yael]

39. I will add the question to the weekly email asking about the tax returns

:P

[AGirl]

45. Good. :)

[ecstatic]

59. Wow! You're brave if you really do that!

You might find yourself getting audited every year of HRC's presidency, should she finagle a win somehow.

[Yael]

68. Let her. I have nothing to audit. Straight W2 every year

and I rent

:hi:

[gabeana]

46. you are the one bragging

about her money raising, if I recall didn't she raise over 30Million last in Feb.,and she can't pay her debt,couldn't pay health premiums? and you're not concerned.

[Debi]

79. I don't think it's concern is about her campaign - but about the small vendors

and communities in Iowa that her campaign has yet to pay.

[Pisces]

24. Good, the closer to paying herself back so she can leave

[AGirl]

26. As long as you shut up about tellnig her to quit, we really don't care what you think..

[DJ13]

25. That may NOT be primary donations

Many of her big contributers are at their limit for contributing to her primary campaign, so a good portion of that might be in her GE fund, which she cannot tap into unless she becomes the nominee.

[AGirl]

27. Nope, go read her website.

[tammywammy]

61. It doesn't say if it's primary or general money

It just says total raised.

[UALRBSofL]

91. DJ13 That's not accurate

Go to the FEC site, it will link you to Clinton's contributors and most of her campaign money came from individual donors and they haven't tapped out. In Florida, where I live she raised more money then any other candidate. I am pretty familiar with the site because I'm making a list of her donors in the state.

[jenmito]

28. $2,819,845 so far.

[AGirl]

29. and in my zone, today is not over yet, there's still 3 hour and 49 minutes whats your point?

[TAWS]

31. How about you post this after she actually raises $3 million

And she will reach the 3 million mark by today's end. :)

[jenmito]

43. You used the past tense. You didn't say she WILL raise it by the end of the day.

If/when she does, you can start an honest thread about it. ;)

34. At least NOW she can pay her past-dues! nt

[KoKo]

35. Good for her! I don't support her but glad she raised some money to stay in there!

She has every right to stay in there. Her polling numbers are still competitive with Obama. I don't support either....just watching it all. But, I want my chance to VOTE...here in NC!

[Ysabel]

37. from the "undead" i suppose...ha suckers...!!!

[Justitia]

41. Maybe a few more million and she'll quit walking on the check everywhere she goes. -eom

[Mike Nelson]

49. The "Hillary is Broke" stories

sure help the money roll in.

[TheDonkey]

56. that's probably why she doesn't pay her bills

to get free media attention. Seriously, I wouldn't put it past her.

[backwoodsbob]

51. I support Obama and...

as far as I'm concerned Hillary can run as long as she wants.She's no different from any other American who has a right to run for office.

[Fredda Weinberg]

52. I contributed this weekend n/t

[littlebit]

53. Great news

[Stephanie]

54. I was an Edwards supporters. When John made the rational, adult decision to drop out -

I didn't take it personally. I supported his decision. YMMV.

[here_is_to_hope]

55. OK then, drop out Hillary.....n/t

[Life Long Dem]

57. She can pay her bills? n/t

[ecstatic]

58. Hopefully she'll pay the vendors with that money

before it runs dry again.

[mamalone]

64. I suspect not...

It'll probably be used for tv/radio spots in PA. She won't get those unless she pays up front.


This whole thing is an embarrassment.

[devilindisguise]

65. WOW! That's great news

She had really had a lot of new donors too, but of course I haven't heard that mentioned very much. I hear some young men saying they are Hillary fans, so with their help we women will get her elected, and the naysayers can keep crying and calling for her to quit and just give it to BHO.

[IamyourTVandIownyou]

[Renew Deal]

70. Burning money to line Hillary's pocket while the poor starve.

How's the interest working out for Hillary? Should get her a nice car or a vacation to the Hamptons.

[emilyg]

73. Yeah yeah yeah -

It's my money and well spent.

[Renew Deal]

74. Get the matches

And light it up. Same difference. In fact, your money is well spent on hurting the Democratic Party.

[MarjorieG]

75. Barack a better candidate. Clintons are supposed to help Party, will they?

Why are we to expect that Obama campaign has to do it by themselves. If people are unhappy with Hillary the candidate, why can't the Clintons help Obama the candidate. As supposed Leader of the Party, how about a little selflessness. Use the machine and war room to elect Barack.

I don't want another hands-off like Bill did in 2004, waiting for his re-do.

[Debi]

76. Will she put that toward her $8,7 million in past due debt?

I know some folks in Iowa that would really like to get paid from services provided back in DECEMBER!

[JayFredMuggs]

78. I sure hope she pays them

Next time Hillary runs, in 2012, I hope nobody takes her purchase orders.
Cash up front only

[Debi]

83. Maybe now that the national media has gotten ahold of this she'll be forced to

pay them. Obviously just having them beg her for payment after four months of not getting any money wasn't enough.

[scheming daemons]

80. Yes... but did she pay her bills with it?

...

[wileedog]

81. Another $3M that could have been used against McCain

wasted for no fucking reason than ego.

[johnnydrama]

82. good for her

but 3 million in 3 days is 1 million a day, or less than Obama has averaged for the last who knows how many months, without having some special drive to earn money by a certain date.

[TML]

85. Good

Now tell her to pay her staff's health care premiums before we garnish her wages.

[panAmerican]

86. She did it! $3M is in the bag

Haven't we learned by now that pressuring a candidate to quit or threatening to embarass them only energizes their base?! This was a bad strategy on the part of the Obama surrogates. We breathed life back into her when we could have let her fade away. I think that's also why his Gallup numbers dropped again after reaching 52%.

[Hawkeye-X]

92. Money that is supposed to pay the debts, will instead go to media buys

Continuing to ignore the hundreds of bills that is unpaid.

And that will damage Clinton and her polls will drop tomorrow and Obama will gain another 2-3%.

Oh, btw, 1% drop is meaningless - Obama still overs over 50%.

Hawkeye-X

[Hugabear]

87. Last time I checked, money didn't cast votes - delegates did

And that's where Obama is leading Clinton.

[panAmerican]

89. Yes, but I'm concerned her ability to attract impressive funds at this stage affects the SDs

The rumors of 50 SDs making their support public a few weeks ago did not materialize. The 1-6 where were supposed to emerge yesterday haven't been heard from. I think this gives the SDs who are on the fence another reason to wait for the next primary when their public endorsement might be advantageous now.

[TTUBatfan2008]

90. How many times is she going to do that?

Running those monetary goals in a certain amount of time as if it really matters WHEN the people donate. I bet her last gasp will be a call for $24 million in 24 hours.
