1. Don't forget the 1600 dollars worth of donuts she fed to Mark Penn

[Stephanie]

2. oh you so bad!

:spank:

[Binka]

5. Fuck That Asshole He Is All About The Pork

How much bacon did they buy for Porky McSlob?

[Stephanie]

11. He will go down in history

As a greedy incompetent.

[Binka]

13. How Do These Fucktards Get To The Top?

Mind boggling. Penn should be picking up trash in Cincinnati.

[Stephanie]

24. Nah, he's too busy picking up clients on Wall Street

He's the corporatist's consultant.

[Binka]

14. dupe

[Eurobabe]

3. Stupid Consultants = Kiss of Death for campaign

Hey Mark, how were the donuts?

[Stephanie]

8. She'd have been better of firing the consultants and hiring some field staff

It's just shocking to me that they failed to organize in post super-Tuesday primary states but continued to pay these consultants huge sums. There will be books written about this fiasco. She walked into the race with the largest campaign warchest in history and blew it all.

[Debi]

17. Oh, she hired field staff - she just didn't pay them

x( great incentive, huh?

[Stephanie]

33. She didn't hire enough

Her own advisors have admitted they were unprepared to organize in those post Feb. 5 states because they never thought they would have to do it.

[MannyGoldstein]

4. So What - They Were Well Worth The Money

The results tell the story.

OK, :sarcasm:. She had to pay people money to tell her to act like an insolent and snarky juvenile? How much did they pay for the race baiting lessons - or was that a Clinton original?

[Stephanie]

12. That Xerox line alone was worth a million bucks

Which is probably about what it cost...

[jmg257]

6. Hope she gets a refund - they SUCK!

[Scurrilous]

7. LOL

:thumbsup:

[tekisui]

9. $30 million so far.

[Stephanie]

10. Amazing

And for what? Stupid "Xerox" lines that are just embarrassing for her?

[Debi]

15. I need to get a job as a consultant

x( and figure out how to get paid!

[Stephanie]

18. Charge them upfront!

Don't let the little people get paid before you do! :)

[Debi]

20. That could be a new campaign slogan

Hillary Clinton for President - Don't let the little people get paid before you do!

[billyoc]

16. Hopefully they'll get stiffed for the last 5 million.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch. :hi:

[Debi]

19. Why not

she stiffed the Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCA, YWCAs - shouldn't the millionaires get the shaft too?

[OzarkDem]

21. How much did Obama spend?

He's obviously outspending Clinton.

Where does he get his money and how much is he paying his consultants?

This BS is childish. I'm sure you'll all be happy with Obama when you're dumpster diving in a couple of years.

[Debi]

22. How much spent isn't the issue - it's how much PAID

Obama is $1.1 million in debt compared to Clinton's $7.6 million (plus her $5 million loan + interest). He has $20 million to spend for the primary vs her approx. $4 million AND his staff/taxes/insurance are all paid compared to Clinton who hasn't paid staff/insurance/taxes/vendors.

Maybe you think not being paid for work/services already provided is funny. I'm sure the folks Clinton owes aren't laughing.

[Colobo]

25. On point!

[Stephanie]

23. Obama's spending his on field staff and advertising - you know, on winning votes

You can look it up here >

26. He gets his money from the grass roots.

Clinton gets hers from big donors. Then they waste most of that money, and what have they got to show for it?

Nothing.

[Stephanie]

27. Does anyone know what Campaign Organizing, LLC is?

That's a nice chunk of change - what do they do?

[Johnny__Motown]

28. One of them should have told her to "STOP SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY ON CONSULTANTS"

[Stephanie]

29. lol!

I wonder what they would have charged for that advice?

[Tom Joad]

30. that adds up to $1,000,000 for every loss in February

hmmm, couldn't she have lost for much less money than that?

[lutefisk]

31. She should have offered Rove $10 million for his sevices in Jan.

Might have been a better investment.

[Stephanie]

32. Who needs Rove when you've got Mark Penn?

That would just be redundant.
