How much $$ did O raise in February. Has he released the info yet?

[boston bean]

TIA if you have the answer!

[Cant trust em]

1. He'll probably release that info on April 15 when that info is ready. nt

[boston bean]

2. kick

sinking too fast.

[movonne]

3. I believe he did...it was much more than hillary..

[boston bean]

5. as of yesterday he hadn't, did he do it today?

[islandmkl]

4. they are probably still counting...

[ingac70]

6. Heard it was 50 mil...

but the only stories I can find said he was coming up on that amount at the end of Feb.

[boston bean]

7. so nothing officially from the campaign? nt

[ORDem]

8. Dunno, but I just gave him another hundred. Keep up the great work Barack!

Hillary is toast. For all her big leads and nastiness, she netted about 4 delegates. Time is running out for her.

:dem:

[Kittycat]

10. I donated again as well.

:)

9. What's he hiding? Hmmm ...

--p!

[boston bean]

11. If he lied about the having much more than 30 M he and his campaign is useless.

I did read and I can't remember where, that is was a slow month for him.

[durrrty libby]

12. He wasted millions in Texas and Ohio. That is wonderful

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

13. Wasted?

He's winning the TX caucus.

:thumbsup:

[hogwyld]

17. Yeah, all those millions

Only took a 20% + deficit down to low single digits...

[RummyTheDummy]

21. And there's plenty more where that came from

Honestly, Clintonista Brown Shirts talking about money? I needed a good chuckle.

[RummyTheDummy]

20. A slow month?

What, the money just magically stopped flowing? 32 million one month, a couple of bucks and some green stamps the next? Give me a break.

[anigbrowl]

22. I read somewhere that you were smoking crack

I just can't remember where right now.

Really, when he was winning contests all through February, you think the money supply dried up? Don't be so ridiculous. OK, do if you want. It's pretty entertaining for everyone else.

[Mags]

14. I don't think it was that much or he would have already announced.

[Coexist]

15. no, he said over $50 mil, but hasn't said how much.

[Barack_America]

16. I've heard closer to 60 million. n/t

18. I thought I might sneak this in here

The money issue. As bad it is, the fact of life is that Hillary is in an untenable situation. Her going on, with slim prospects of a procedural win is now all about debt. The people who backed her all these years have no investment to protect, no favors forthcoming. The reason for a huge portion of her money making machine was a guarantee of the Clinton power dynasty gaining office. If that is gone AND she dares to face down the party and her rival with the strong intimation that payment of her campaign debts will NOT be forthcoming is she goes on like this, she will be doing soap commercials in an apron for the rest of her life Bob Doling her debt away.

The curse of money is worse than its advantages. Its raison d'etre was power and influence. Once the agony of accepting the inevitable regarding outcome gets close to the downside consequences, this is what is supposed to happen- to sane people.

First you TRY(perhaps well past the opportune moment now) to get the VP spot. TRY to bargain for your associates obtaining power in the party and the new administration, salvage twenty years of DLC incompetence with butt saving. Then you try to please the winner so your campaign debt gets paid off. If instead you make it easy to put off the recalcitrant, party harming losing entity, you, your associates, your donors, your loyal bases, get nothing except as it totally fits the will of the winner.

Well, not just nothing. You get debt and a jobless rate among certain Dem leadership factions few people will mourn. In this respect the media touted life preserver(on a too short rope) tossed out to Hillary makes hers a pyrrhic victory she alone can reverse. Becoming a corporate nemesis, media talisman to harm the party will likely also strengthen Obama and certainly his gains have a future, his funds an investment. After performing that alienated service for both the GOP and the Democrats she will have been crushed by both- as the GOP had fated for her in far worse fashion all along.

This is entirely a more mammoth example of the malignant influence of current campaign financing. All the other candidates to some extent have prematurely been removed from public choice on a smaller, sometimes invisible scale. The tragic scale of not being able to withdraw "gracefully" for the sake of herself and her allies beggars the imagination- as certainly as the pocketbooks of the campaign.

19. May I interject this?
