HILLARY TOPS OBAMA...AGAIN!

[Tellurian]

CLINTON TOPS OBAMA IN CASH ON HAND FOR NOMINATION FIGHT WITH ABOUT $35 MILLION TO HIS $32, REVERSING OBAMA’S SECOND-QUARTER ADVANTAGE

WASHINGTON — Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton ended September with more money in the bank than rival Barack Obama, holding $35 million cash on hand for the presidential primary contests to his $32 million.

Counting the Campaign Cash

It‘s that time again, the end of another quarter, and another moment of reckoning, as the presidenti...
Day of Reckoning on Campaign Cash

Both were far ahead of Rudy Giuliani, the money leader on the Republican side, underscoring the financial disparity between the parties. Giuliani reported $11.6 million in the bank for the GOP primary.

Clinton, who had trailed Obama in fundraising and in money in the bank at the end of June, edged past him with an aggressive third quarter of fundraising.

Neither Obama nor Clinton had yet filed detailed reports of their third-quarter finances with the Federal Election Commission. The reports were due at 11:59 p.m. EDT Monday.

Clinton, who also has been raising money for the general election, had a total of $50 million in the bank, her campaign said Monday night. But $15 million of that cannot be used for the primaries.

1. Thanks Hillary, for spending my money wisely!

I appreciate the thought behind the spending producing the BEST results!

[Labors of Hercules]

5. Too bad, what a waste.

Gore will smoke her in the end.

[Tellurian]

18. Consensus says, if Gore enters the race...Obama and Edwards are irrelevant..

It will be a 2 horse race Gore and hillary, if he enters..

Bama back to Congress, if he still has a seat or a constituency left after all his missed votes.

Edwards back to his compound to meditate on how to raise $100M before he runs again.

[emilyg]

22. I would vote for Sen. Clinton.

[Tellurian]

32. I'm with you..Hillary is the best and brightest of the field..

she's demonstrates her ability daily by running the smartest and best campaign EVA!

[Labors of Hercules]

44. no doubt she's a great campaigner.

And she's brilliant.

And the truth is, in some very critical ways I like her a lot.

But she will not win the nomination.

[Tellurian]

49. She's in it to WIN..

and she will WIN North Carolina.. :hi:

[zulchzulu]

42. "Some people say"....

Obama would be "irrelevant" with $90 million and millions of contributors?

:rofl:

[Labors of Hercules]

48. yep. pathetic how some people don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

Time will tell! :bounce:

[Clintonista2]

2. NICE! The Obama fad is almost over

Thank goodness.

[ShortnFiery]

3. It ain't over ... until the votes are cast and counted.

Party down but take care to not permit that over confidence morph into unbridled arrogance. :evilgrin:

[Catherine Vincent]

7. That's not over confidence or arrogance.

It's to keep up with all the anti-Clinton crap that's posted.

[ShortnFiery]

14. And you wear it so well.

:eyes: Overconfident Bravado, or is it Bravada? :shrug:

[William769]

16. Since you left the other thread with your tail between your legs.

I'm surprised your still here. :rofl:

4. I was still waiting for it to start.

:shrug:

[Clintonista2]

30. True, he can barely break 20% support

The only reason he has this much attention, is because he screams for it. It's empty attention, though.

[William769]

33. Like some of his his supporters?

[Clintonista2]

34. Exactly. nt.

[ripple]

9. $32 million is a fad?

You do nothing to help your candidate by making such ridiculous remarks.

[Clintonista2]

29. Hillary doesn't need my help, she continues to soar

A few hurt feelings on DU doesn't mean much to me.

[BeyondGeography]

12. Just for shits and giggles, what is so bad about Obama in Lirwin's world?

Is it the newly mobilized voters? The big crowds? The ability to reach people across party lines? The large base of donors that your girl will be begging to tap into if she gets the nomination?

[Clintonista2]

19. His supporters

His arrogant way of appearing above the fray as his supporters smear those they disagree with and destroy lives. Reminds me of someone sitting in the WH right now.

[BeyondGeography]

I got it...Obama is bad because his supporters are destroying lives

Thanks.

:freak:

[Clintonista2]

23. Obama tries to appear above the fray, above "petty politics" as he directs kamikazee supporters. nt.

[geek tragedy]

64. Whose life has been destroyed by Obama supporters?

Please tell me you're not regurgitating the crap from Hillaryis44 blaming Obama for Norman Hsu's troubles.

[Forkboy]

53. And you're blind to your fellow groupies acting the same way.

If enough people thought like you do Hillary supporters would be killing her.Thankfully, most people are smart enough to not let someone's supporters dictate who they like.Some people...apparently not enough.

Thanks for the look into your shallowness, and the blindness to your own actions and those that you agree with.That reminds me a lot of someone sitting in the White House too.

[gorekerrydreamticket]

56. I haven't heard about the destroying of lives by Obama supporters...please elaborate, Lirwin2

n/m

[geek tragedy]

59. Your crowd is hardly in a position to complain about arrogance.

[Tellurian]

13. Obama's entire campaign has been a thoughtless meandering of malapropisms..

At first his supporters thought the fund raising equaled support.

That was put to rest when Hillary out-raised him last quarter.

Obama's numbers have been stagnant since July. Maybe they figured out $$$ doesn't equate support!

[Ethelk2044]

63. That is why she lied about the money she has on hand.

Wishful thinking.

:rofl:

[jgraz]

6. Way to go, Rupert!

[LakeSamish706]

8. Shit, I think she looks like him actually! n/t

[Catherine Vincent]

11. You're mighty proud of that photo aren't ya?

She also met with Rush Limbaugh too.

[jgraz]

15. All Hillary supporters should be proud of that photo

That's the guy who her husband made even richer and who will be helping to fund her run to the White House.

This is what all the chest-thumping is really about, isn't it? Helping Rupert Murdoch put his pet Democrat in the White House.

[emilyg]

25. I don't mind his money.

[William769]

27. My dad use to tell me all money is green.

[Forkboy]

54. And all blood is red, which you'll notice when you look at your hands after handling Murdoch's money

;)

[jgraz]

37. What 'till you see his policies -- you'll LOVE them.

[Clintonista2]

20. Yay Rupert! That 2300$ donation gave Hillary the boost she needed!

:eyes:

[jgraz]

21. Well, I'm sure she'll return the favor in spades

Don't look for any media diversification from a Hillary Administration.

[Clintonista2]

28. We'll see

When she's president. Too bad your failed smear attempts aren't affecting the polls, eh? Sucks for you.

[jgraz]

35. Actually, it probably sucks more for you

If Hillary does manage to buy and lie her way into the White House, I'll probably do quite well -- just as I've done under the past 6.5 years of Bush. I sincerely hope you don't have any kids who need health insurance or a job that can be outsourced.

[Clintonista2]

39. Sorry, your fear tactics & attacks fail

Have a great day :hi:

[Odin2005]

10. SLOW DOWN, horsie!!! It's still a few months till the primaries.

Back in 2004 us Deaniacs were assuming the same thing and got burned.

Then again this kind of BS is expected of the Hillary-is-44 propaganda site.

[William769]

17. A Obama supporter talking about propaganda?

:rofl:

Thanks I needed a good laugh today!

[Odin2005]

51. Is that the best you got? pitiful, pitiful... n/t/

[emilyg]

26. Now that's funny coming from an Obama supporter.

[madrchsod]

31. "As the day ends,

the latest third quarter fundraising reports are finally coming in. Hillary Clinton knows how to spend money wisely. Barack Obama knows how to waste money. On to the final quarter of the year!"-- here i thought you`d use this from "hillary is 44."

i must admit it`s all about the money ,the more money one has the more votes one gets.

[ShortnFiery]

36. "... the more money one has the more votes one gets."

Well, up to a point.

It may be hard to believe but you can't buy all us "little people's" votes with celebrity and politico endorsements. :shrug:

[madrchsod]

43. one word -> sarcasm

[ShortnFiery]

47. Darn! At this time of night, please kindly use the tag for us who are not

as quick on the uptake as we should be? :shrug:

[zulchzulu]

38. Obama has lots of offices in 26 states with plenty of grassroots involvement

When you figure the sheer overwhelming amount of people that support Obama and are working in 26 states so far and setting up a great ground game, it is going to cost money.

I heard a great story about grassroots support in Iowa. Obama supporters outnumbered all the other candidates' supporters sometimes by 3 to 1.

Let Clinton save her money. Who cares...

[William769]

41. Ok I am going to be nice here, check out your headline.

Change lost to lots.

[Clintonista2]

46. LOL!!! THAT is the competition? No wonder Hillary leads!

[Ethelk2044]

65. Hillary does not lead

January we will see who has the last laugh.

[Tellurian]

70. Have you heard if Obama is bowing out yet?

[incapsulated]

40. ......

[youthere]

66. I've been waiting for a chance to use this:

[Semper_FiFi]

45. Kick and recommend. Good to read some good news! n/t

[Clintonista2]

50. Not that good news for Hillary is lacking, though ;)

[Honeycombe8]

52. I don't have a horse in this race, yet, BUT..it's unseemly for the Clintonistas (and I say that...

with admiration for the way they defend Hillary) to rub in her continued good news time and again. To put it in all caps, with an exclamation point no less...well, you don't need to wonder at the hostility going toward her campaign. It's not JUST because she's ahead in the polls.

A little humility goes a long way. She's winning, guys. Take it with class.

[Forkboy]

55. You're expecting way too much from them.

[flvegan]

57. Yay! Coke over Pepsi! Brand recognition wins again!!

How EXCITING is this race?

[geek tragedy]

58. Because they engage in shady accounting and don't count debt.

But, congratulations to Hillary. I'm sure she raised most of her money legally.

[Clintonista2]

60. Link? Proof?

Thanks in advance.

[geek tragedy]

61. That she raised most of her money honestly and legally?

I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt on that one.

As far as this entire post being pure bullcrap, see this:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1007/6365.html

[Ethelk2044]

62. She needs to answer why they did what they did because the statement they released was False.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3614060

[Tellurian]

67. Cutting through all the BS in your politico link..heres what it says:

It says you either are unable to read correctly or are mathematically challenged!

Sen Clinton's original accounting was completely CORRECT!

"In the end, Clinton reported raising $28 million between July 1 and Sept. 30 and having $50 million in cash-on-hand.

Of that, about $34 million can be spent on the primary, while $16 million is for the general election. Clinton also reported carrying $2 million in debts, driving her ready cash figure down to around $32 million.

Obama’s report, the last to go public, showed him raising $21 million during the third quarter and ending it with $36 million in cash.

But he, too, has some debt and has raised money that must be held for the general election, which drives his primary cash total to about $32 million.

Why Lie about Sen Clintons successful fundraising prowess, She came in FIRST. Obama came in second. That fact remains unchanged no matter how you kick and scream.

[geek tragedy]

68. COH is equal, and your thread/post is false.

So either the campaign are liars or . . .

[Tellurian]

71. Obama's expense totals are false...

and will be questioned soon..

[geek tragedy]

72. Suurrrre they will. n/t

[Tellurian]

69. Hillary kicked Obama ass royally this quarter..

From the politico link you provided:

It says you either are unable to read correctly or are mathematically challenged!

Sen Clinton's original accounting was completely CORRECT!

"In the end, Clinton reported raising $28 million between July 1 and Sept. 30 and having $50 million in cash-on-hand.

Why Lie about Sen Clintons successful fundraising prowess, She came in FIRST. Obama came in second. That fact remains unchanged no matter how you kick and scream.

[geek tragedy]

73. Your post is still dishonest.

They are virtually tied in cash that they can spend on the primary.

Clinton does not have a $3M advantage in that area.

But, continue your gloating over Enron-style accounting.

[Clintonista2]

74. "either are unable to read correctly or are mathematically challenged" THERES A 3RD OPTION!

They know what they are saying isn't truthful, but say it anyways to gain some political points.

[geek tragedy]

75. You mean like falsely claiming that Clinton

has a $3M advantage in primary cash available?

I mean, unless you all really think it's gloat-worthy to have more debt.

[Tellurian]

76. Whats this? More expenses than reported? who knew?

[Silence Dogood]

78. Obama is hiring lobbiests-

I wonder why?

[ihelpu2see]

79. but not taking money from them, big difference
