Pushing a fund-raiser later this month, a finance staff member sent a sharply worded note last week to Illinois members of its national finance committee, calling their recent efforts "extremely anemic."

quote:

On the night of Sept. 16, Barack Obama will not be in Cincinnati, Ohio, or Lebanon, Va., or Grand Rapids, Mich., or any of the other swingiest regions of the swingiest swing states. Instead, the Democratic presidential nominee will start his evening at a 46,000 square-foot mansion in Beverly Hills, then proceed to the posh Beverly Wilshire hotel, where rooms start at $495 a night. Needless to say, Obama won't be prospecting for votes in the Golden State, where he currenty leads Republican rival John McCain by an insurmountable 15-point margin. He'll be mining for money.

Just like clockwork the pendulum is starting to swing the other way.
In November Hillary is going to say; "See? I told you so!"
You can bet that she's already started her war fund for 2012!
And she won't be doing any "fundraising" for Obama.

quote:

But the campaign is struggling to meet ambitious fund-raising goals it set for the campaign and the party. It collected in June and July far less from Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's donors than originally projected. Moreover, McCain, unlike Obama, will have the luxury of concentrating almost entirely on campaigning instead of raising money, as Obama must do.

Please tell me Obama saw this coming.......the man cannot be that clueless (can he?).

CL, that's what I don't understand, why would Obama want the Clinton's anywhere NEAR his campaign?
He must know that they'll do *anything* they can to sabotage him and gain strength for 2012 when Hillary will run again.
Her supporters in Massachusetts and other states will be voting for McCain to knock Obama out of the running and solidly position Hillary for 2012.
If there's one thing we know for sure it's that the Clintons will do *anything* to get and keep power!
You can be sure that her supporters "are" raising money alright just not for Obama.
They'll be salting it away for 2012!
