If HRC and Obama aren't hinting at April $$ - F**k em; make a guess here and start your own rumor

[grantcart]

Every month we have a pretty good idea what was happening by the last day of the month.


This time nothing. There are not even any rumors. Google it and you will end up getting DU threads.


No one else in the Media is even talking about it.


So its left to us. We have to do it. I mean they get us hooked on it every month like the season ending episode on a hit show.


Screw em. If they aren't going to satisfy our wunderlust for campaign trivia we will simply make it up.


Put down what you think Obama and Clinton are going to report for April, give a conspiratorial answer why they are sitting on it and start your own rumor. If you can site a source or make up a fabricated press release all the better. We will teach these candidates to toy with our obsession.


Its a dirty job but somebody has to do it. No one is better at starting a completely unsubstantiated rumor than us. The poster who gets closest will be acclaimed by all. If some other blog or media outlet picks it up you get bonus points.



If we work really hard maybe Russert will get to it on MTP or Georgie can ask Clinton tomorrow.

1. I have heard that Obama is in with $ 35 million and HRC at $ 32 million

[goclark]

37. Is that before or after she pd. off all her debts

and repaid her loan to the campagn?

Has she paid for the donuts and the Bellagio yet? What about UC Davis? :crazy:

[Coexist]

2. Well...

I heard that Clinton raised $22 mil and Obama raised $30.

Obama won't release his number until after Clinton does, and Clinton won't because if she supposedly raised 10 mil in one day, that means she made less than McCain for the rest of the month.

Hows that?

[grantcart]

4. Well sounds good to me and you are officially the latest news on the web

[Coexist]

7. what... no siren?!

[grantcart]

11. well you were the latest for only 4 minutes

[hoosierhick]

3. Picks nose and pulls out some numbers.....

......Obama-$47,500,000....... Hillary-$29,200,000 ($110,000,300 if you add in all the freebies contributed by the msm)

[grantcart]

5. do you want to spice it up with any claims to inside sources?

[hoosierhick]

44. Inside sources?

I would rather snot reveal them. Thank you!

[anigbrowl]

6. I'll bite...

I'm going to guess $32 m for Obama and $18m for Clinton. Pure gut instinct, tempered by consideration of voter exhaustion and a slight bounce for Hillary thanks to PA. I don't really believe her $10 million in one day claim though.

Why the media silence...not sure. If numbers are deteriorating for them both, neither would want to say so, especially not to say so first. Then again they may be holding back for control of media narrative by releasing data on Monday.

[grantcart]

10. Well you must remember that Clinton did raise $ 10 million in one day.

[goclark]

39. She loaned the campaign $ 5 million so that makes -5 Mill

Or, will she wait until Summer to pay herself?

I do not want her messing with my M O N E Y! :puke:

[rodeodance]

8. sure--create some rumors and or lies. This is not helpful at all

[grantcart]

9. this is not partial just some fun--- or have you become so overcome by bitterness

that is no longer an option


Every month we have been teased with all of the reports about money and both campaigns have played that game and gotten us interested.

Now all of a sudden no one says anything and no one in the media is even wondering why neither campaign has all of a sudden become so secretive.



So rather than have a boring "why don't they tell us what they are doing thread" which I have been doing every day why don't we have a "start a rumor thread".

Do you really think that anyone will take it seriously when you come out and actually invite people to make a guess? lol

[swishyfeet]

12. I like your style Grantcart! BHO: 33M HRC: 20M

From my own AOL online poll.

[grantcart]

17. and what about the pony express poll?

[psychmommy]

13. i know for fact

that the guy who wrote the 3 billion dollar check made it out to cash to obama campaign. so obama has taken in 3 quadrillion dollars and hillary has taken in 30 million dollars, minus 10 million dollars in iou's to small business owners and school boards.

[rhombus]

14. They all want to look like working class folks

For Obama, too strong $$$ numbers would hurt him this time around.

[grantcart]

16. I think that is it

for Clinton she may have a problem with a low number because they said she raised $ 10 million on one day

One more obvious lie from the campaign would be difficult.

[BlueIdaho]

15. Barack 42 million - Hillary 23 million.

The big question is how much debt will the Clinton campaign have?

[grantcart]

18. to get onto MSNBC first blab you will have to intimate some kind of source

[BlueIdaho]

22. Oooooh - sorry

"According to usually reliable sources within the Obama campaign they appear to be on track for a 42 million dollar month - The Clinton campaign is looking for good news racking up 23 million dollars according to sources at Lending Tree."

[grantcart]

24. your in business now

[phrigndumass]

19. The numbers won't be out until after Oregon/Kentucky ...

... probably while they're still counting Oregon & Kentucky late at night on May 20. I can imagine the headlines on May 21: "Obama the Nominee, Clinton Still Broke"

[grantcart]

20. Well screw that - they get us all hyped up and turned us into monthy fund raising addicts

We need a methadone fix

start your own rumour

[phrigndumass]

21. Ha! Wasn't that Hillary begging for change in a Santa Claus suit?

Santa's version of a pantsuit

(ducks)

[MrSlayer]

23. I heard Clinton raised a hundred billion dollars.

And Obama raised forty-two cents.

[grantcart]

25. could be rough on the expectation spin for Clinton but if you cite a source we

will put it on the internets and somebody will believe it.

[meow mix]

26. my insider sources tell me..

i have it on good authority its 60 million for obama and 8 million for hillary.


"No one is better at starting a completely unsubstantiated rumor than us" LMAO
:patriot:

[grantcart]

36. Your contribution is now in the ether of the internet

we paid nothing for it and that is what it is worth

[phrigndumass]

27. Hillary's campaign is so broke ...

... even the janitors are lending her money.

... they have to duck-hunt for food.

... she has to rent a Yugo because Hummers are too expensive to fill up.

[grantcart]

29. I am guessing that your source is Milton Berle

[phrigndumass]

31. Milty and Hillary both look great in a pantsuit!

:woohoo:

[grantcart]

28. anybody googling the subject will now be directed to this thread first for

insightful information on the subject. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=HRC+and+Obama+April&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=&as_qdr=d&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images

[madrchsod]

30. L..O..L laugh out loud!

it`s a "Monk" thing

[grantcart]

32. that will teach them to toy with our obsession

next month we expect the result on the first of the month by noon pacific time

Hawaii time ok

[graycem]

33. Well, my sources say..

that their cousin's uncle's brother's aunt's sister worked at one of the Clinton's campaign offices and she heard Terry Mcallitoff say that they were on pace to raise $10million a day til the end of the campaign, so I predict HRC will announce $60million. The same source says white working class voters don't like Obama, and certain polls say they don't like Obama, but others say he's not doing so bad with them, so I expect his fundraising to be a bit hindered this month amid all the confusion if good ole boys dig him or not, and he'll be lucky to report $25million, thus proving him unelectable, if you count the popular vote in MI, FL, and Guam. :shrug:

[grantcart]

35. on your way to drudge

[cliffordu]

34. My informal cat poll says....

three cats in the living room,

two cats in the bedroom...

Obama picked up 30 mil...

Hill picked up the twenty....

[SoCalDem]

38. HRC... $14.78 , a half-used bus pass, and a check from Bill for $10 million

and a nasty past-due notice from Mark Penn

[grantcart]

40. now is that a rumour or do you have a reliable source?

[SoCalDem]

41. my fertile imagination

:rofl:

[grantcart]

42. we can only accept it if you have an imaginary friend or a split personality

we have our standards

[anigbrowl]

43. Does the flying pig outside my window count?

[lojasmo]

45. HRC= $9.2 million (double digits) Obama = $ 1 billion.
