1. Hillary's bank account appreciates it.

:yourock:

[goldcanyonaz]

8. Why do you have to be so mean? Seriously, aren't there enough Obama threads to hang out on?

[Renew Deal]

16. Just stating the obvious.

Don't mean to be mean, but that's how I see it.

[AX10]

20. You Obama supporters make him very unpalletable.

[Clintonista2]

29. No kidding. Every time I feel as though I could support him, I see his nasty little supporters

and wonder how I could support a person who has supporters like that.

[Renew Deal]

31. You and the person you replied to

will never support him. The other one has said as much. I think the same of you too.

[Clintonista2]

33. I believe I've said many times that I will actively support Obama

For instance:

Supporters like you don't make it any easier.

[stahbrett]

34. I disagree - Obama could easily be put onto a pallet :-D (eom)

[Clinton Crusader]

43. Obama raises money and its divine intervention....

Hillary raises money and it's a crime.

Go away already. So tiresome and boring.

[emilyg]

25. JUst go away.

[NJSecularist]

2. Will this be enough to save her in Texas?

Barack is putting together a great ground game and organization in Texas due to his money advantages, can Hillary do the same?

[Freida5]

3. Alright and we have 15 days left in the month. I just contributed again today.

[aquarius dawning]

[jillan]

7. You go girl!!

[Stephanie]

9. ALL FOR SALE

Congratulations! Enjoy your spam & junk mail & nuisance calls.

[thunder rising]

15. I estimate she sold her people out for between 1c and 3c each. What's your estimate?

[bellasgrams]

23. They all sell their lists, the canidates, the parties, the phone

companies sell their lists, it's nothing new.

[goldcanyonaz]

10. Great news, hubby and I have been donating $50 each per day since February 3rd.

We will continue to do so until we hit the max.

[anigbrowl]

12. Baffled...

if you want to donate the max, why not just write $2,300 checks (or whatever your remaining max is)? Trickling it in at the rate of $50/day seems sort of pointless. Just curious.

[aquarius dawning]

22. It's smarter actually. I'm donating similarly but not daily.

[anigbrowl]

24. But what's smarter about it?

Other than that you can save some money if a candidate drops out? I can see how it keeps the daily totals up, but then a single large donation can make up for a slow day too. As far as I can see, it all averages out.

Please note I'm not questioning the choice of candidate. I have been drip-contributing to the Obama campaign, but that's got more to do with the amount of spare cash rather than a donation strategy. I would prefer to have just written a large check early on.

[quakerboy]

42. Smarter

in that it means the candidate has bragging rights to a larger number. The total donated is the same, but instead of 1 donation, then the candidate has 46 donations in their count.

Or so I assume

[joshcryer]

44. Smarter in that if she drops out tomorrow, they're not out all that cash.

[Yael]

37. It actually costs the campaign more in processing fees to do that

[nonconformist]

30. Maybe it's easier for them do that, based on how their income comes in?

I know that I have started donating every pay day, for that reason.

[Yael]

11. I am glad to see her able to replenish her savings

:thumbsup: to the middle class for stepping up on that.

[woolldog]

17. ouch.

That was scathing.

[AX10]

13. I donated too!

[AX10]

14. No suprise to see some of Obamanation's...

"followers" here to bash HRC.

[thunder rising]

18. Balance in everything. El Paso? Didj'a even know where that was before last night?

[Araxen]

19. Have fun talking to the telemarketers!

suckers!

[emilyg]

27. Did that feel good, smart?

[elixir]

26. Good news. Keep it coming.

[nonconformist]

28. I'm one of those donors! w00t! nt

[thevoiceofreason]

32. Which allows her to send robocalls.

In Texas, She who is much wiser than I and I have recieved 4 campaign calls so far.

Call #1: Robocall: Some nondescript local (supposed) democratic party functionary trying to veer us toward Hillary. We answered, but were unable to get beyond the undecipherable reverse labyrinth.

Call #2: Obama's campaign, real person: Asking whether we had decided. For grins, we said no. Thanked us and requested us to visit Barack Obama's website and call the HQ if we had any questions or concerns.

Call #3: Robocall: Barack Obama would be bad for Texas. Not many more details. (Don't they know anything about position reinforcement?)

Call #4: Did we have any questions about Sen. Obama's positions? Another real person. So I asked a question (to which I knew the answer). Answer was right.

Long and short -- the freakin robocalls have killed the HRC campaign and have sealed our family's vote (and there are 5 of us that vote). My wife, , me, and our 3 kids will max out donations to Barack and do everything in our power to defeat Hillary, then McCain. Hillary, you have created persons willing and eager to fight you.

[anamandujano]

35. Bull. You don't like her because she threatens to knock a few chips

off your idol's shoulder.

[Yael]

39. He is probably just a closet sexist

:sarcasm:

[Clinton Crusader]

36. Good, whenever I can!

[jackson_dem]

38. 135,000 donors in two weeks? But I thought she had no grassroots support?

I read here at DU from Obama supporters.

[thevoiceofreason]

40. Hey there Jackson, old pal

Let's do a comparison.

You name the time and the place. by the way, keep up those robocalls in Texas, They are oh so oh persuasive.

[jackson_dem]

41. The comparision is 52%-47%

That isn't as big a margin as popular belief suggests. We now know why Hillary gets as many votes as Obama but has substantially less donors: her base is working folks while Obama does best with the wealthiest Americans.
