Poll question: Hillary's gross campaign financial mismanagement
..the GOP would make it a HUGE issue. And beat her to death with it in the GE, rendering her utterly UNELECTABLE.


It also begs the question; if given the nomination, how much could she raise as a candidate in the GE?? Would Hillary's general election campaign be run as shoddily as it was in the primary?
How viable would she be as a candidate in the GE, given her track record? Would she be able to raise enough money to fend off the well-oiled GOP attack machine in the GE?

Obama's ability to raise unprecedented amounts of cash, (NY Times) or Hillary's gross campaign mismanagement?

Who do you think would make the most viable Dem candidate in the GE?

1. If the GOP plays the "wasteful spending, fiscal responsibility" card, she would lose on this.

2. So how much you think the loan was in April
5 or 10 million.

3. Good question

We'll find out soon enough, when full April disclosure is released next month to the public from the FEC. The disclosure for March is due tomorrow.

Meanwhile, UC Davis and others have STILL not been paid and they are planning to turn it over to the collectors, if they haven't already. No one wants a deadbeat President.

4. Some of the things I heard about her spending before super tues make me want to scream
Obviously she was planning to have Edwards and Obama beat by super tuesday so she turned the process into a party in my view.

Now her campaign has loans everywhere with maxed out donors scrambling to find other ways they can get money to her.

Clinton you are not going to be able to have a spending spree phase in the white house. Bush did that already and is handing the pay back phase to the next president. So you made a serious mistake!

6. Thought she had it clinched by super Tuesday?



Counting their chickens before they're hatched--seems to be a recurring theme with Hillary and her supporters.

5. She manages her campaign
like she'd manage the country.

Thank goodness she will never be doing that.

7. Funny how her supporters
Edited on Sat Apr-19-08 07:45 PM by nebula
don't have a word to say in her defense.

Since Hillary took office, we've gone from having a surplus to being the world's largest debtor nation. She has helped to enable that status. It seems they are perfectly fine with having a Deadbeat running the world's largest economy.
