HOW DARE HE!

She doesn’t understand that Obama is simply a manifestation of discontent with her corrupt husband and her own uninspiring political machinations.

Obama is just “We don’t want more of that!”

On his own, without a Hillary to revolt against, he is meaningless.

He isn’t “daring: anything, or even “doing” anything.

Obama is being swept on a tide.

He is a bit of flotsam with the word “change” scrawled on it.

Without her repulsion he would have no particular attraction.

Show me a primary and I’ll show you Hillary crying.
Some say she is doing this crying thing before ever primary for the sympathy which translates into votes for her. And I have to say, the first couple of times I think it actually worked. But how lon…

My concern is not so much how billary spent the money, but where the money came from and what these people want in return.

That was my thought and concern as well. The Clintons are owned by many unscrupulous people I feel.

Be interesting to watch her contribution levels from now on.

The Clintons are not stupid. Greedy and unprincipled, yes, but stupid no. I think their plans called for the primaries to be over by now, and so they did not cultivate fields that would feed them this far out on their march. Obama knew that if he was going to win that it would be a long battle, so he would have planned his donor strategy so that he could live off the land as he conquered it.

Even if it was an intelligent decision to locate near large donors, with a last name of Soros, they focused on a small niche of donors, and as a result she has a bunch of donors who have hit the maximum and now are useless to them. Obama has a much larger pool of donors, the vast majority of which are nowhere near their limit.

Be interesting to watch her contribution levels from now on. I doubt she can survive without some kind of bundling hanky panky. I suppose foreign sources might yield fruit but, I suspect the Iranians are on Obama’s side, North Korea has other priortities, and Gore is out of the temple fundraising business. What’s left,… a percentage from the Mustang Ranch or going back to Soros who may be getting a bit impatient? Meanwhile, the Messiah rolls on with nickels and quarters coming in by the truckload..

Maybe. Maybe not. My guess is billary will end up richer after this campaign than when she started.

My concern is not so much how billary spent the money, but where the money came from and what these people want in return.

Definitely a blow to the Clinton machine.

And to us. She was a Hispanic gal. I assume this will create hurt feelings, more identity fingerpointing, and that portion of Hillary’s base starts to pout. Advantage=Obama. Disadvantage=us.

Patti Solis Doyle has just left the Clinton campaign.

Change!

That’s it. I can now retire. Hotair is on board. In a recent post, Hotair ended on this note:
While the Hill camp whines, Obama’s already busy raising a new round of funds based on today’s showing.
Yes, he can.
Yes, he sure can.
And yes, so c…

Lesson to Everyone: If you don’t know how to do something, hiring a consultant won’t help one bit.

I do consulting of a different nature, and, sadly, you’re right. I believe Sean Penn has harvested well over 4 million so far, at least some of it from well meaning donors who thought they were making a difference. Fortunately, I was able to overcome passion of the moment and avoided sending any money to Fred or Rudy who were my faves. I assume they also had consultants.

Unless that consultant is the Ultimate Warrior.

Hillary’s campaign business was in Manhattan

That could be because they are behaving like a startup that got VC funding and are blowing it on parties, or more charitably, because they had a strategy of hitting on the New York “Money People.”

Even if it was an intelligent decision to locate near large donors, with a last name of Soros, they focused on a small niche of donors, and as a result she has a bunch of donors who have hit the maximum and now are useless to them. Obama has a much larger pool of donors, the vast majority of which are nowhere near their limit.

Clinton spent nearly $4 million on political and media consultants

And still she cackles, speaks in shrill tones, says “you know” three times per sentence, is outmatched in insincerity only by Romney, thinks it’s a good idea to attack Obama’s race, wants to “freeze” mortgage rates and the stock market, and comes out 100% in favor of the biggest political failure of her life…Universal Health Care.

Lesson to Everyone: If you don’t know how to do something, hiring a consultant won’t help one bit.

Come on now. Nobody spends 500k on parking. It’s money under the table. But, for who and what?

Sounds like a lot. The campaign probably needed a better controller on the finance team. That said a lot of Hillary’s campaign business was in Manhattan where parking can run you $70 for the day or $700 for the month.

Come on now. Nobody spends 500k on parking. It’s money under the table. But, for who and what?

Opposition research ain’t cheap.

So now that their fake “conservative” candidate, Romney, is out of the picture, “real conservatives” are stumping for Obama.

You’re fairly new here, aren’t you? The technique is not.

Depends on how the Islamists want to play it. At first blush, I’m tempted to think that either Obama or Hillary as pres would invite a probing event here at home. OTOH, they may opt to go the extortion route, and use political leverage to gain advantage through nonviolent means. In other words, a promise that if we give in politically, we’re spared the event, similar to the Spanish capitulation. I have no idea how they would respond to McCain, although the fear we would do another Afghanistan type response would probably not prevent them from a probe. They now have other countries to use as training areas, plus the Pakistan mess. In any regard, a presidential change is going to ramp up the odds of another tragedy.
The key for them is to not do something as horrific as Beslan, which would surely bring down our full wrath on them, but rather a carefully calibrated statement of violence that we would accept as business as usual.

SECOND LOOK AT CAPTION CONTEST!!!

Don’t caption here, caption there, just to be clear.
