Obama outspent Hillary by $7 million to lose by 10%

[GoldieAZ49]

Wow!

Heres to Hillary!!!! :applause:

That is commitment!

From her and her supporters!


The controversy surrounding Obama will continue to follow him through the rest of the primaries.

On to the SD's Hillary!

[berni_mccoy]

1. At least he had $7 million to spend. What did Hillary rack up more debt for? Oh yeah, Mark Penn.

[angie_love]

3. lol

[GoldieAZ49]

30. She didn't need it to win, did she?

donate now, Obama is going to need more to keep losing by that margin

[berni_mccoy]

32. She sure spent enough money going into more than 7 million in debt from last month.

And all to lose a 25 point lead that became less than a 10 point margin.

[Changenow]

54. She won by 8.5%, but when did they ever bother

with the truth.

[bluetrain]

61. 9.2

[shadowknows69]

2. Keep holding tight to that life preserver

[EFerrari]

8. The spending is tonight's talking point.

The Clinton campaign doesn't want us to wonder how she blew a 20 point lead or why she's broke. lol

[ProSense]

4. Hillary is broke. Obama has $50 million and an insurmountable lead.

I like Obama's position.

[still_one]

5. That commitment is why she is broke, while Obama keep getting more donations /nt

[high density]

6. Don't worry, I'm sure he'll outspend her for the rest of the race as well

It's easier to spend the money when you actually have it.

[GoldieAZ49]

31. he doesn't have much choice!!!

[high density]

39. No, he doesn't have a choice, because she refuses to quit

And the media has an infinite number of passes and mulligans to give her. But that's fine, since they'll treat him the same way versus McCain in the GE, so we might as well get used to it now.

[GoldieAZ49]

48. No she will not quit, and the media has nothing to do with it

[LVjinx]

59. Of course she won't quit. That's why people admire her.

[MercutioATC]

45. You're right...he has to send the money back if he doesn't spend it.

Only some of that money can be kept for the GE. When you're generating $40M/month, you have to spend it.

Nice problem to have, huh?

[Kittycat]

7. He spent money his supporters gave him, and he closed the gap by more than 1/2.

She is still in the red.

[sorrybushisfromtexas]

9. Goldie, Goldie, Goldie

She is broke.

She has to compete in two states that he is ahead in.
Those states will undo what Pa. tonight.

Congratulations on her victory, but it will be short lived

Sorry, I like her and think he is a good candidate. I think he is better.

[Bigleaf]

10. That's okay. He'll outspend her again in IN & NC by $10 mil and win both.

[cliffordu]

11. Yep, Congratulations Hillary!!

All your money for 4 delegates.

NICE WORK!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[SoonerPride]

12. Rope a dope strategy. He made her drain her bank on a state she should win easily.

Perfect strategy.

She'll quit in two weeks.

[BootinUp]

13. 1,000,000 primary votes and counting...

[The_Casual_Observer]

14. He might as well have stayed in Chicago.

[TeamJordan23]

15. Yep, because everyone in PA knew about Obama (unlike Penn hometown girl Hillary).

[johnnydrama]

16. I just got a text from the Clinton campaign...

Asking if i could donate 75 cents for a diet coke.

I passed.

[BlueIdaho]

27. You too?????

Boy - the cupboard must really be bare.

[chknltl]

46. She's NOT the candidate of 'change' apparantly

[RBInMaine]

17. Hillary had MASSIVE name, machine est., and demographics advantages. GET REAL !

No big win for Hillary. She WAS ahead 20+ a few months ago. If she was the hometown girl, why did she lose so much of her support? Give us a break?

[aquart]

35. Yep. No one in Pennsylvania ever heard of Obama.

[LVjinx]

60. Yeah. Obama who? Never heard of him. Should I know the name?

[GoesTo11]

18. Good thing he didn't spend $14 million to lose by 20%

[Beregond2]

19. He spent 7 million

and cut her lead in half. Money well-spent.

[SoCalDem]

20. he got more for his money... she was up by 33% 5 months ago

:rofl:

[TTUBatfan2008]

21. Way to take away the credit from his supporters...

The spinmeisters act as if the money just fell into his lap out of nowhere. He raised that money from voters and has every right to spend it just like Hillary has every right to use her husband and his name along with all the political contacts between the two of them to build up a strong machine. It goes both ways and you can spin it either way.

[TwilightGardener]

22. Second oldest state in the country, one of the most blue collar states, a whole

lot of Alabama in PA, CLOSED primary, and she couldn't get more than a 10% margin. Obama's money was well-spent: he spent it on DELEGATES.

[uponit7771]

23. Hils asking for figh dollahs, did you donate? And its less than 8 points

[ampad]

24. Yup

He could afford to spend that much to knock her sorry behind out of the race. I wonder if Hillary can afford that "victory party" she is throwing?

[TLM]

25. 7 million... wow that ALMOST double what hillary paid Mark Penn.... so far.

Face it, the only reason Obama outspent Hillary, is that SHE WENT BROKE!

She's gone 10 million in the hole.

If she had the support and donations Obama has, she'd have matched him dime for dime.


Guess it is hard to raise $$$ when you are dodging sniper fire and single handedly bringing peace to Ireland.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

26. Obama outspent her by $7 million to cut her lead from 20% to 10%

Despite the fact that the demographic makeup of Pennsylvania is heavily weighted in Hillary's favor, and she had the endorsement of the Governor. She netted perhaps 16 delegates, and now needs to win all remaining states 70 to 30 just to tie up the pledged delegate count. I would say Obama did an incredible job.

[RiverStone]

38. We Obama supporters are saying that - but not the corporate media

They forget the only way she can win is with a Super Delegate coup.

A coup that would split the party 1/2 for years....

But the ratings love that this will keep going.

Gawd, will it end in 2 weeks?

I'm banking on it.

[rocktivity]

28. Well, duh

He's more than happy with the ten per cent because it ensured that Hillary didn't get 65% that she actually needed. Now she'll need AT LEAST that much in ALL of the remaining contests if she expects the superdelegates to take her seriously!

:headbang:
rocknation

[bhikkhu]

29. Hillary would have done the same if she had the support-base

Instead, she hangs on to an easy-win state for her, and slides farther into debt.

[JoFerret]

53. sore winner mentality

.

[aquart]

33. I'm sure Obama people will cough up another $7 million!

After all, they're a MOVEMENT!

[TwilightGardener]

42. You betcha. Getting my credit card out tonight.

[dorktv]

34. races (in the polling) usually tighten up in the last few weeks.

Her winning by 10% is pretty impressive.

[dbonds]

36. In a state that had everything going hillary's way...

Obama closed the gap from 20% to 10%. Some said he couldn't do that. If Hillary had won by 15 to 20% then the super delegates might have been impressed, but Obama kept it to a reasonable amount considering the state. Plus you still had republicans changing the registration to democrat so they can vote for Hillary, and you know it isn't because they want to see her president.

[theHandpuppet]

37. Congrats to HRC!

Looks like it's time for another donation.

[susankh4]

57. I sent her $25 yesterday.

And another $25 today.

Howard Dean is also asking for donations again this morning. He'll have to take a number... and be on his best behavior now that he has two strikes against him:

1) Calling for SDs to decide NOW!
2) Cancelling the debate in NC (still researching this, did he do it?)

[Condem]

40. But gain only three delegates?

[C_U_L8R]

41. Obama broke the Clinton's bank

That's winning too.
Hillary can't ante up for the next round with all that debt.

[chknltl]

43. Interesting, The very thing that Pat Buchanan said.

Of course Buchanan did leave out that Obama was not trying for a knockout blow, of course Pat left out that Senator Clinton needed a double digit victory, of course he left out that PA was supposed to be a blowout for Senator Clinton from the get-go and yet Senator Obama managed to close the gap and of course he left out that Senator Clinton is effectively broke because Senator Obama forced her to spend her reserves in order to stay in the race after tonight. Pat Buchanin is a good one at not pointing out stuff germain yet contrary to his spin.

Buchanan also asked this night, that if Senator Obama is unable to close the deal in PA. how will he close the deal in November? (Pat is great at comparing Lemons to Apples in order to bring about damage to those he is opposed to!) Of course here again Pat failed to point out that Senator Obama beat Senator McCain by around a two to one margin in PA. tonight, and of course Pat forgot to point out that Senator Obama was battling Senator Clinton and not Senator McCain making, this an idiotic comparison but great damaging spin aimed at Senator Obama.

[Triana]

44. Yea. Let's waste *more* time while they battle each other-instead of one of them...

...battling McSame - like we NEED to be doing NOW.

Pffft. Sorry I don't see the joy or wisdom in it. OR the benefit of it for the Dem party in the GE.

[cui bono]

47. LMAO!!!

Money well spent! He knocked down her 20-30% lead to a mere 8%.

:bounce:

[Hepburn]

49. She's broke, in the hole, she has NO money for the next primary...

...had a 20 point lead in PA and it was cut to 8 by Obama and you are foolish enough to congratulate her???

LMBO....:rofl: You are kidding, right? This was a fucking LOSS for her!

[anonymous171]

50. Lol. And he'll do it again in NC to get a huge victory.

[Gore1FL]

51. And that's all it took!

Now she has no cash, and is even further behind in the delegates needed to delegates available ratio.

[Beacool]

52. He outspent us 3 to 1 and still lost by 10%

Voters didn't appreciate being bought.

Go Hillary!!!!!!

:bounce:

[Perry Logan]

55. Sounds like Obama fatigue.

[Life Long Dem]

56. That's actually 9%.

[Ganja Ninja]

58. Where's Hillary going to get the funding to spend in ...

the general election if she can't get it in the primaries?

[tekisui]

62. The tide is turning! She's just getting started! We've turned a corner!

Obama is in his last throws!



:eyes:

[wileedog]

63. Hillary spent $150 Million to lose a 33 point overall advantage to a first term Senator

Ready to catastrophically implode from Day One.

[ProSense]

64. Obama outspent Hillary by as much as she raised in March, and

he still has more than $40 million left and growing.

Cutting her down from 20 pts was worth it. That's the difference between 32 and 12 delegates, which is all she got ( or is it only 10?).

I how he continues to outspend her.
