That's great that she has been able to raise so much money...its great for the Democratic party anyway. Yes we are the party of inclusion and participation in this primary is reaching the stars. That makes me proud.

However, I have to ask...why WAS she so late to the fundraising party. Does it show great judgment that she is just now doing what Barack Obama has done all along?

Now, who is running as the EXPERIENCE candidate??

Paul Miller, Woodbridge, VA — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 19:29:35 GMT

I doubt they are being completely truthful here. The front people say they were raising about a million a day, but the actual campaign workers who bring in the cash and count it said a while back they still had concerns, because they were only raising about half as much as Obama.

That comment was paraphrased here on First Read and elsewhere, about a week after Super Tuesday. Its possible the second half of February was much better than the first half, but even as those comments were being reported, we already had days of Clinton spokespeople talking about the million/day pace.

Which brings us to now. We all agree the Clinton camp sees March 4 as a question of survival - no more margin for error - right?

So why is Obama outspending Clinton in ad buys? If they have the money, and need big margins of victory in the two big states, why aren't they matching Obama's ads?

Hmmm doing the math here, let's see Obama had over a million donations and they are at least 25$.... yeah I bet it is considerably more. Go Obama!!! Makes me proud to know even though I donated what I really couldn't afford, Obama makes it worth it. I cannot take the chance on hoping someone else will do it. I'm in this thing for change and I know it's people like myself who will be a part of why this change comes to be.

I am not sure what to think of it. It doesn't seem to pass the smell test. But, I will give them the benefit of the doubt.

What a contrast - Britain's Prince Harry on front line in Afghanistan and American idol raising considerably more bucks than his opponent.

Barack has a cool, soft-feminine brand and people faint at his emotional rallies but he doesn't do well on substance without his cue cards.

If money and myth win over substance and the ability to do the job, America really is in meltdown!

It's terrible to waste 35 million on a candidacy that is going no where. Especially one that does not know how to manage money. And Hillary thinks she can better serve this country on the economic issues, ha! We could have used that money to build new roads and highways rather then spending 1,500 a shot when the Clinton team has a craving for doughnuts or 5,000 a shot when they feel like having pizza.

Michael Richmond, VA — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 19:41:05 GMT

I think what we would like to know from the Clinton campaign is where the $5 million she loaned herself came from. After news of the former president's lobbying of foreign leaders on behalf of corporations then receiving large sums of contributions in thier trust and library we should know if these were funds earned through thier own work or if it was given to them by someone that might want to have some influence. Afterall, the Clinton's are not that rich to where they would have $5 million sitting around.

Are we sure that the $35 million does not include another loan? She "fibbed" about the total last time, conveniently leaving out the fact that she loaned herself $5 million to make up for her bad spending habits.

I bet Obama's numbers are above $45 million dollars. That is absolutely amazing.

Oh my, you Obama supporters are so arrogant. Do you not think that Obama's campaign has not fed it's volunteers? It's a very common practice.
oknOK (Sent Thursday, February 28, 2008 3:13 PM)

Is it common practice to not pay your bills as well? Or be so arrogant to assume that you'd have it locked up after Feb 5th that you wouldn't even have to organize anything after that? When the national Obama organizer went to Texas, the state organizer handed him a list of 150,000 volunteer names, already organized and ready to be mobilized. Clinton barely had a precinct captain in half of the districts.

Here in Cincinnati, on their first night of organizing for the Clinton effort here, 60 volunteers attended. Obama's first night... over 800.

rc, that list was pretty clever. i've got my own for your girl, hillary.

hillary has a vagina, so she should be president?

hillary doesn't like disclosing key financial information and clinton administration documentation, so she should be president?

hillary has totally mismanaged her campaign (not just the financial aspect), so she should be president?

hillary's husband really likes donuts and mcdonalds, so she should be president?

femi-nazis will vote for hillary no matter what, so she should be president?

hillary relies on polls to determine her convictions, so she should be president?

instead of looking in the mirror, hillary likes to blame a "vast right wing conspiracy" and the media for her woes, so she should be president?

half the country can't stand hillary, so she should be president?

hillary only has six years of experience as an actual elected official, so she should be president?

hillary acts like a bi-polar nutjob, so she should be president?

the list really goes on and on....

The 35 mil probably includes the 5 mil loan. Also them releasing the amount today, thinking its the last day of the month, but like most of her campaign they messed up, its a leap year, another day to go in the month. Expect obama to announce something close to 60 mil.

Hillary thought she could buy this election, like her senate seat, but the people have spoken and given Obama the ammo to bring her down. Obama 08

I suppose such news will help her as it will boost confidence in her supporters. It is a way to demonstrate that she is still running strong. I do think she is still at a disadvantage. First, some will argue that this is only done in response to Obama's last month success. If you're always running behind in strategy and support, surely that doesn't help. Second, Obama will probably raise more than that and will grab the spotlight away from her. She may be running late here.

OK... NOW I get how this money thing works! I make a 5 Million dollar loan to myself, WITH INTEREST, because I've so poorly managed my finances to begin with. Then I cry poverty and beg the American people to GIVE ME MORE money so that I can pay back the loan I made to myself (with interest). Now I have even more money I can piss away on pizza, sub sandwiches, 5 start hotels, etc.. and hold off on paying my debts to the small business vendors (it's not as if they need the money as much as I do, anyway). Thank goodness I'm worth an estimated 40 Million dollars so that I could loan myself that 5 Million to begin with... whew.. that was close. Oh... and don't even ask me HOW I managed to have a net worth of an estimated 40 Million to begin with.... must have been my 35 years of Public Service work. yeah... that's the ticket.... Public Service work! Well, you can ask me where I got all that money if you want, but I'm not going to show you my tax returns, or anything else, until AFTER I'm nominated (just in case there's something in there that I don't want you to know about until it's too late).

And isn't it a darn good thing that someone thought to COPY Obama's Web design and format so that I too could collect donations online?! Too bad no one thought to do this YEARS ago, when I first starting running for office -- right after my husband decided to make mockery of the Oval Office by having sex with an intern. No wait... it was JUST oral sex, so that doesn't count. But if he crys on national TV, gathers up clergymen from every denomination to save his sorry soul, and just admit that sex is sex, then people will forget how he abused his power while in office, and all will be right with the Bush/Clinton Dynasty again.

What I don't underestand is why all the hatred for Barak when he has clearly shown forgiveness, respect, kindenes, consideration, Why is all of that bad....and if you truly look at things....it is the idiots who are putting their own foot in their mouth....i.e. John McCain....so when this election gears up and John McCain receives all the negative press what will you Billary fans say then?

Classic Hillary Clinton quote during her "leadership" of the Bill Clinton health care initiative, to an industry expert who was trying to advise her: "You better get in line or you will regret you ever met me!"

Yeah, that's the kind of person I want to be a president. A fighter who only knows to fight everyone.

Hey, did she and Bill Clinton ever return all those White House pictures and other furnishings they wrongly thought they could keep? Amazing to me that people can overlook such blatant scandal and be duped by someone who can talk smart but, display no wisdom, and reflect no character but naked ambition.

The real deceived are those who have bought the line that this lady with only 7 years of congressional experience, actually has 35 years of relevant experience. To borrow a phrase: The biggest fairy tale I've ever seen.

Seriously, I am happy for her. But I wonder why she mismanaged her campaign money in the first place? Is arrogance her sweetheart?

If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in record time against a nuclear power. AND DID NOT LOSE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER. NOT ONE!

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience saving the environment is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) left office with the greatest amount of environmental cleanup, and protections in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with little or no education experience is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) made higher education affordable for every American. And created higher job demand and starting salary's than they had ever been before or since.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience will be better than Hillary Clinton who spent 8 years at the right hand of President Bill Clinton. Who is already on record as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that you can change the way Washington works with pretty speeches from Obama, rather than with the experience, and political expertise of two master politicians ON YOUR SIDE like Hillary and Bill Clinton..

Hillary Repeats Same Mistakes

By: Dick Morris & Eileen McGann Article Font Size

Whether one likes, dislikes, loves, hates, admires, fears, despises, or envies them, all Clinton watchers have this in common: They are dumbfounded both by the incompetence with which Hillary has run for president and her intransigence at sticking to a failed message.

In a demonstration of inability and inflexibility reminiscent of her healthcare debacle of 1993-94, Clinton seems destined to fulfill Voltaire’s description of the Bourbon kings of France: “They learn nothing. They forget nothing.”

Even now, with her back against the wall, fighting for her political career, Hillary, presumably with Bill’s acquiescence, insists on making the same mistakes that landed her in the soup. No new tactics, no new strategy, no new message emerges.

Incredibly, both Clintons are harping, once more, on the theme of experience to carry the day. No matter that it hasn’t worked since before Iowa; they repeat the same mantra endlessly — that Hillary can “hit the ground running” on “Day One.” It seems they will never realize that voters grasp two essential facts:

One, Hillary’s experience is derivative of Bill’s and her claims to his achievements are largely invented and spurious; and

Two, the real edge she has in experience is her ability to repeat the strategies, tactics, message, fundraising models and campaign style of the 1990s, something modern voters reject emphatically.

Why, after losing 24 states, do Hillary and Bill fail to get these messages? Are they saving up these insights for their memoirs? And why do the Clintons persist in running a negative campaign even when they can’t find anything to be negative about?

Alienating voters with their abrasive attacks without attracting them with their content, they throw pitty-pat punches accusing Obama one day of plagiarism for borrowing speech lines from his close and consenting friend and the next day for accurately describing Hillary’s healthcare plan as requiring sanctions to make those who do not wish to sign up do so against their will (albeit for policies Mrs. Clinton deems to be “affordable”).

If you are going to pay the price of going negative, throw real punches.

Hit Obama with big negatives. You take the backlash for going negative in order to pass the lethal message on to the voters. But if you don’t have any negatives to throw and your detectives have, indeed, come up empty, then stop trying to go negative. Stop alienating people for no purpose.

But as obvious as these observations are, they seem to be lost on Bill and Hillary and the geniuses who are running her campaign. Despite defeat after defeat, we still hear about experience and still get a daily dose of so-what attacks on Obama.

The deeper reality of this campaign is that Obama has shown, by his incredible skill in the way he is waging it, an ability to handle himself and a talent for the demands of center stage that show, experienced or not, he is better able to be president than the inept Hillary.

We are watching a grim re-enactment of all of the character traits that led Hillary to decompose in the healthcare debate of her husband’s first term.

The blind reliance on a guru-delivered strategy, the religious insistence on following the same rhetorical line even when it obviously isn’t working, the inflexibility in adapting to one’s opposition, and the inability to formulate new strategies or to improvise tactics when her pre-conceptions are found to be so obviously faulty — this is Hillary at her worst.

As citizens, we are entitled to watch Obama’s skill, leadership style, and savvy sophistication and contrast it with Hillary’s doctrinaire insistence on approaches that aren’t working and to conclude that Hillary would be a disaster as president and that Obama would be pretty good.

We can, at least, conclude that the same tenacity that led Johnson into Vietnam and may be inducing Bush to risk his party, his reputation and the attitudes of a generation in Iraq may be abundantly present in Hillary.

But we are driven to wonder: Does Hillary’s rigidity stem from a false conviction or from an absence of sufficient imagination and creativity to formulate an alternative course?

And you can bet that none of the 35 million came from Minister Farrakhan or his anti-Semitic minions!

No matter how much he raises, Obama may go broke once he pays his debts:

$ to MSNBC for swooning at his every move
$ to speech therapist for the stuttering problem he suffers when debating Hillary
$ to Deval Patrick for speech writing
$ for bail money for Rezko
$ for Ted Kennedy’s bar bill
$ for Michelle’s anger management classes

And think of all the $ he wasted trying to beat Hillary in CA – even had to rent that double wide trailer to cart Oprah’s hind quarters around!

Patrick, let me ask you....when you have hundreds of people volunteering their time to phone bank, canvas, stand on street corners, and donate their time in many ways to get the candidate that they are committed to get elected, what is wrong with said candidate's campaign providing coffee and donuts in the morning, or horror of horrors, pizza for lunch? If a volunteer is giving 4,6,8,10 or more hours of their time on a given day, isn't $10 for food a worthwhile investment?

No actually I think it's proven that it's not. How many people get free coffee and donuts where they work? Some for sure, but it's not an entitlement. Here is an idea, if you are going to volunteer, pay for your own coffee...... Did they pay mileage to get back and forth as well????

Annie Hall:

Here is Hillary's problem:

Hillary wants to run this country and you as a supporter think she is your Gal who can run this country.

Presidents are not elected to "run a country". Presidents are elected to "lead a nation".

Hillary's desire to run the country as well as your support for her to run this country is the same as supporting a micro-manager who wants to have their hand in every single working process of the government. Hillary is a micro-manager. You know the kind. The kind that looks over your shoulder at work to see if evretrything you do meets "their" satisfaction. The kind that tells you when you make a suggestion that you will doit her way. The kind thatdiscourages and kills creativity because they are the boss and will deide what you will do.

If you want someone who wants to "run a country", a micro-manager, vote for Hillary.

If you want someone who wants to "lead a nation" and who will and can incite people to be creative and to participate in those decisions of our governement then vote for Obama.

Vol in NH — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 22:30:38 GMT

Lots of mud slung around her about Hillary's campaign spending. Let me just address what I know about personally. I did a lot of volunteering in New Hampshire. There were hundreds and hundreds of people volunteering here. Many came from other states at their own expense. The weekend before the NH primary in my part of the state we had over 500 volunteers per day. A lot of local volunteers donated food, but the campaign also provided cofee and bagels and donuts in the morning and supplemented the donated lunch and dinner with pizza. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Should they have said "Please come help us, oh, and by the way, bring your own lunch?" After the primary there was a news report here of a landlord of one of the field offices not getting paid - his wife told the news reporter that. Turns out he had been paid, through his business manager. Just like the news report from Iowa that a waitress got stiffed on a tip, and it turned out a large tip had been given to the manager to distribute between all the staff and she got missed. I don't know the story on the cleaning crew, but I can tell you that here in my area of NH, the campaign staff and volunteers left field offices cleaner than they found them when they left - and I know this because I was there for the moveout and cleanup....so people get real..

If Hillary has raised $35 million, why then, for the past two weeks, has her website been all about begging supporters to donate even more money to "CLOSE THE GAP" to match Obama's ad campaign? She is really sinking lower and lower. Perhaps instead of wasting money on donuts and junk food pre-February 5th, she should have planned ahead and thought about what would happen AFTER February 5th. How arrogant that she thought she'd have it all wrapped up, and now is on her knees begging folks to give her even more money. Remember what she did in January - raised around 12 million, but spent 28 million. And yet there are people who still would vote for this kind of person to sit in the highest office in the land and 'fix' our economy?! Wake up people. We don't need yet another Clinton disgracing the White House and this country and fouling up our lives....never forget how the Clinton's spent 40 million dollars of taxpayer money in 1998 on Bill Clinton's "it all depends on what the definition of 'is' is..." defense.

And, yes, as a woman, I can't wait until a woman becomes president of this country. But I want that woman to have made it on her own credibility and hard work. Hillary is not that woman.

Thanks JackSmith, excellent analogy!
When Obama , in trying to denigrate W.J. Clinton's accomplisments, asked "do you want to build a bridge back to the 90s", my son immediately called me. He asked would I be willing to walk back over that bridge?, he of course knew my answer. I told him hell yes I would, and "backwards" if I had to. The 90s were great compared to the previous and the latest. The country, despite the revisionists, did quite well, and so did I. It was perhaps the most confidence inspiring period of government in my lifetime, and I will soon be 70.

I'm a Hillary Clinton fan and will continue to be as I see her hand on the bible taking office in Janurary.

Nothing of Obama's past addressed?? You better be careful Nevada Lady because Hillary has DECADES worth of corruption, fraud, embezzlement, murder and blood on her hands to make her go crawl in the hole she shared with Bin Laden. She's damn lucky Obama doesn't play her dirty politics or Billary would be toast! She's got more rug to sweep under so I'd be careful if I were you about pointing fingers about past indescretions.

I see a lot of Obama supporters in this forum acting really childish. Grow up kids. We're talking about our country here - not the class President.

No matter how strongly you kids feel about Barack, we all must be thankful someone like Hilary exist. Obama is getting some really good training from her for one.

BO supporters are the crotch of society. Sexist, nasty, racist, ignorant, brainless, sheep who have no idea how to think and choose wisely. They are bottom feeders looking for the easy way out, to work at something and achieve is beyond their elk.

The stupid fools think the messiah Barry is going to hand them the country for their special deal, NOT!

They sure are all riled up that Clinton will NEVER give up and we are supplying her money and VOTES!
WOMEN are the MAJORITY!

It's time to stem the biased tide. Wake up America. We're letting 20%-30% of the African American community, who are voting solely on race, decide who our Democratic candidate will be. This is reverse discrimination at its worst. TX, OH, RI and VT - don't be sheep, vote for the best candidate.
