A good campaign does not beg for change whenever a mic is placed in front of it
Terry McAuliffe was just pimping Hillaryclinton.com - instead of a victory speech, on friggin' cable news. He's desperately fundraising after a win. The man even told people where to click once they got there. That is beyond sad. That is telling.

April is going to be more painful for them, moneywise, than March was. Even worse, you never hear a Hillary or Bill rally, without a beg for supporters to hit the website and donate 20 bucks.

Sorry guys, that's just humiliating. That is what this campaign is reduced to.

Seeing Terry do that just made me feel lots better about what happened in PA tonight.

4. Shameless. But then again...
McAuliffe hasn't ever been one to show a lot of personal integrity.

The debt must go on!

9. No, the campaign should be humiliated
I have never before heard a candidate beg for cash like this - they send out letters and emails, yes. But the candidate herself? Her spokesperson on the eve of a victory? Bill Clinton, former President, reduced to begging for 5 bucks here and there. That is what is humiliating.

15. Considering no one thought she had a chance in hell of winning....
Are you kidding about no candidate ever asked for donations in letters and emails? Is that what you call begging?

16. "no one thought she had a chance in hell of winning"???

19. I did! No one on MSNBC or CNN had a positive thing to say. .
They predicted it as all doom and gloom...an impossible thing to do. In fact they are still saying it.

12. BTW
If you go to her website, it redirects you to the fundraising page.

Pathetic.

21. Hillary asked for donations during her victory speech, as well.
I sent $5 to Obama after hearing Russert's comment re: the text message donation request from the CLinton camp.
