Fundraising in January: Obama's 32M to Hillary's 10M...that's a trend!!!

[sfam]

This HAS GOT to worry the Clinton campaign as this thing goes forward. Obama is gonna be flush with cash, as they are starting to penny pinch.

1. How do you know Hillary raised 10m in January?

Did I miss something?

[sfam]

3. Her campaign mgr, Terry McCulliff just said so on MSNBC n/t

[Renew Deal]

6. Why would he admit that?

That's terrible news for them.

12. Don't necessarily believe what Terry M says. He is a "consumate" spinner.

I could see him leaking the 10M figure, with the intent that later publication of a larger figure will be portrayed more positively against the 10M figure, rather than meager in comparison to Obama's 32M+.

2. I thought money was corrupting politics

Guess I didn't get the latest memo.

--p!

4. 25M came from internet contributions.

So, far less corruption there. :)

5. They may be in trouble past Ohio and Texas

They may not be able to affors a fight all the way to the convention.

13. I just read an article that Clinton campaign is only advertising in 12 of the Super Tuesday states.

... indicating funding issues. (I can't find the article right now, so don't take my word for it. I'll post back if I run across it again.)

edit: p.s. Ah, found it. Sitting on the Greatest page... http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4382291

7. I don't think that is the official number, they said "at least ten million"

so it could be more. Let's wait until they release the actual number.

8. Time to donate to Obama again!!!!

[JackORoses]

9. oh dear, Hillary's Corporate Paymasters are maxed out

no wonder they didn't want anyone to know how much they had raised.

[MadBadger]

10. She raised 13.5 million.

Thats what he said later on MSNBC

11. Awesome.

Just shows that campaign donors have Obama fever and Clinton fatigue. Now that's a definite trend.
