Clinton Campaign Lets Supporters 'Buy' A Yard Sign - USAToday

[WillyT]

Not sure exactly what to make of this...

<snip>

The presidential campaigns are always looking for ways to make supporters feel involved. Today, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's team opened a "My Pennsylvania" webpage where contributors can direct their cash toward any of six different things the campaign needs to buy -- from TV ad time to yard signs. Interesting facts: The Clinton team wants to put up 110,000 signs and wants to put 60,000 "door hangers" on homes. No word on who's going to pick them all up after the April 22 Pennsylvania primary.

Is this clever, or a sign they are financially on the ropes?

1. They are still trying to figure out the interwebs

now that their large donors are capped.

2. A sign of a campaign financially on the ropes.

3. I guess the yard sign people are asking for money up front.

4. Ahhh... Most Excellent Catch !!!

I guess the word has gotten around that they don't pay their bills in a timely matter, so you may be correct.

6. We sold Kerry signs door to door in 2004

It was the only way to get one around here, too. We sold them for four dollars.

7. This is not selling yard signs, they are taking donations to buy signs & put themwhere they want to.

12. Oh I see.

Thanks for clearing up what I and my husband, the precinct camptain, were doing. Really, how did we function without you?

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

13. I wasn't talking about Kerry and 04. This is about something different. nt.

8. its part of their "ditch to ditch" strategy

her advisors are pulling stuff out of their asses.

10. bet that girl scout cookies are on that list, since Hillary stiffed a girl scout troop

she seems to stiff the little people, and pays up to the big ones.

11. As an Obama supporter, I have to say, in all fairness, I don't like Obama......

Selling bumper stickers for $3. These things were FREE when McCarthy ran against Humphrey.

I also don't like the Obama Baby baby clothes, but I like the babies.
