.....As I reported earlier, she's drawing on a pool of personal wealth estimated to be as much as $41 million, as well as a reported payout to Bill Clinton of $20 million from the Los Angeles billionaire manager Ron Burkle.
Clinton told reporters that her fundraising was healthy, but that "my opponent was able to raise more money, and we intended to be competitive, and we were
Latinos need to remember that the Clintons let free a major coke dealer Vignali who now is a major land owner thanks to Antonio of downtown LA. AND remember all the torrid affairs, lying, cheating scandals Bill Clinton had while in the White House. This is the family you want in the White House. Don't forget the horrible, racist comments they both made and how they diminished Dr. Martin Luther King accomplishments. I believe the truth will come out more and more from now til June.
Jim McDougal is laughing in heavan.
Her (Cllinton) staff nevertheless recognizes that Super Tuesday was no triumph. Here’s why:
1. She lost the delegate derby. Pure and simple, this is a war to win delegates, one that might not be decided until this summer’s Democratic convention. And when the smoke cleared this morning, it appeared that Barack Obama had ended up with slightly more delegates in the 22 states. With results still coming in, Clinton’s campaign says the candidates finished within five or six delegates of each other. Either way, Super Tuesday was essentially a draw.
2. She essentially tied Obama in the popular vote. Each won just over 7.3 million votes, a level of parity that was unthinkable as recently as a few weeks ago. At the time, national polls showed Clinton with a commanding lead — in some cases, by 10 points or more. That dominance is now gone.
One reason is that polls and primary results reveal that the more voters get to know Obama, the more they seem to like him.
3. She lost more states. Obama carried 14 states, six more than Clinton, and showed appeal in every geographical region.
His win in bellwether Missouri was impressive by nearly every measure, marked by victories among men and women, secular and churchgoing voters, and urban and suburban voters.
4. She lost the January cash war. Money chases momentum, so Obama crushing’s 2-to-1 fundraising victory last month is revealing.
He raised more than $31 million; Clinton raised less than $14 million. The implication is hard to ignore: Democratic activists and donors are flocking to Obama at a pace that could have a profound effect on the race going forward.
5. The calendar is her enemy. Now that more than half the states have weighed in, there is a fairly predictable formula for determining who is most likely to win the upcoming contests.
In caucus states, Obama’s organizational strength shines: He has won seven of eight. Up next are three more caucus states, Washington, Nebraska and Maine.
The bottom line is that it figures to be another month before Clinton hits a stretch of states — places like Ohio and Pennsylvania — where she will be strongly favored to win.
So it couldn’t be any clearer as to why the supposedly inevitable candidacy is anything but — even when she’s supposedly winning.
I guess the Republicans aren't all bad for certain segments of the economy. Here's what the hookers are saying about the Republican National Conventions and the upcoming one.
...................................
From today's Rocky Mountain News:
""'More business' from GOP
Too bad for Watson and others like him that Denver didn't land the GOP convention instead, said Carol Leigh, a San Francisco prostitute "over 50" who has traveled to previous Democratic conventions in Los Angeles and Atlanta.
"It would be a lot better for the sex workers if it was the Republican convention," she said.
"We get a lot more business. I don't know if they're just frustrated because of the family values agenda," she said.""
Family Values? LOL!
She's history!!! That's really pathetic...Obama raised 32M just in January!!!
Why didn't she realize Mexicans are poor!!! Did she really think they would contribute to her campaign????
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
They're already projecting Obama to raise $30 million in Feb. A lot of Hollywood celebrities are giving him support and he does well online. I think Clinton may be tapped out cause now they're reporting her staff is working for FREE.
Does anyone know why that loser John Edwards (who I might add Washington folks say needs to come out of closed) didn't endorse anyone??
What! Mike Trujillo isn't getting paid?
Breaking News: Some Clinton staff working without pay to save money
Not a good sign.
According to a bulletin recently posted on Time magazine's blog, The Page, some senior staff for Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign have begun working without pay to save money for the New York senator's cash-crunched political effort. Those reportedly working without salary include campaign manager and longtime Clinton confidante Patti Solis Doyle.
At the same time today, according to The Times' Peter Nicholas, the Clinton campaign conceded that late last month the senator loaned her own campaign $5 million of personal money. At a news conference at her campaign's Virginia headquarters Clinton said:
"I loaned it because I believe very strongly in this campaign. We had a great month fundraising in January -- broke all records. But my opponent was able to raise more money. We intended....
to be competitive and we were and I think the results last night proved the wisdom of my investment."
In fact, the Clinton campaign raised less than $14 million last month compared to the $32 million reported by Sen. Barack Obama's campaign. Although Clinton is wealthy and her $5 million pales in comparison to the $35.5 million Republican Mitt Romney gave to his own campaign, this could be a sign of serious financial trouble coming out of the indecisive Super Tuesday voting.
Last night Clinton's campaign co-chairman Terry McAuliffe played down reports of financial difficulty.
Oh! so you say you loan yourself for campaign and later recover this in billions, wow what a remarkable devilish strategy is this !!!!!!!
Spin all you want losers. Hillary trounced Obama in California.
2:31:
Bill's money can't be used for Hillary
Remember in 04 when Kerry had to mortgage/sell property to loan himself money?
Has anyone seen the documentary “The Clinton Chronicles”? You need to learn about the Clintons they are a pair made for each other. Power, drugs, sex, control, cover ups etc. Google the “Clinton Chronicles”
For so many years Americans have been so naïve, they want to believe in their leaders. Their leaders will take care of them. It is not their responsibility to take care of you, it is your responsibility and you can’t afford to waste any more time believing their promises. Take time and educate yourself and pass the word. The future of this country and this world is in our hands, THE PEOPLE.
By the time the Latinos in Calif. who were dumb enough for Hillary start finding out the truth and really researching no doubt they will be Obama supporters. Clintons are a very scandalous couple who are just about power. They showed their racist, negative characters in this race.
Pshaw. Clinton will come up with the money. Don't you even worry about that. Her endorsers will come out of the closet too. They are just hiding now to wait it out, just as they've been instructed to do.
Horrible, racists comments?? I'm sure you're just joking.
Please.
