Here’s Why Hillary is Having Money Problems…

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Hillary, Money

Obama has lots more money now and deeper pockets moving forward. He raised $32 million in the month of January compared to about $14 million for Clinton. Only 3 percent of Obama’s hundreds of thousands of small donors have “maxed out,” which means that the campaign can go back to them again and again for more. By contrast, roughly 70 percent of Hillary’s donors have contributed the $2,300 maximum allowed by law.

Think about that, 97% of Obama’s contributors haven’t maxed out and 70% of Hillary’s have?

No wonder she has to loan her campaign money. Obama is grabbing all the new donors. How selfish…

Hey there,
I’ve enjoyed the post Super Tues coverage here. It sure is a fascinating election, dark queen tales n all, but I think we’re all missing the real story here.
It’s politics as usual as we go over n over all the numbers, cat fights, front-runner bashings, etc., but nobody ever gets to the heart of the matter. The most I’ve seen of real truth here is when Ron Paul turned to Mac n Romney in the last debate and commented that their argument is absurd. You guys are goin on and on about this & that minor detail, but the whole premise is WRONG! The president isn’t the leader of the US economy, why do we keep fighting about how his policies are gonna change things?
It was a great moment, like when Edwards said that he stands for the adult wing of the Dem party after the squabble during that debate.
What I’d like to hear from some of your conservitve folks here, who seemed to have all but vanished- is what the hell does the Republican Party actually stand for any more?
It’s un-freekin-believable. They preach free market solutions, no governmnt intervention into the economy, then offer this stimulus package, and it takes the FBI to actually look into corruption and how the whole mess happened in the first place. Lets just give some tax money back – it’s the answer to everything. Lord knows, we don’t need no stinkin REGULATION!!! None of this seems like anything close to conservatism – what’s goin on?

“7. Chief Guardian of the Economy

Roles: In this role, the president is concerned with such things as unemployment, high prices, taxes, business profits, and the general prosperity of the country. The president does not control the economy, but is expected to help it run smoothly.”

I’m pretty sure “Chief Guardian” qualifies as “leader.” I knew middle school social studies taught me something.
