Why so many women are raising money for Hillary Clinton

WaPo, by Matea Gold

LOS ANGELES — Fran Seegull, the chief investment officer of a nonprofit investment firm, has worked in the elite fields of philanthropy and venture capital. But the Santa Monica resident had never dipped her toe into the world of political fundraising.

That changed when she saw Hillary Rodham Clinton gearing up for another presidential run. Seegull donated to her 2008 campaign, but this time she wanted to do more. That meant raising campaign cash, she realized.

“I don’t think women have had as significant a seat at the table as they could and should,” Seegull said.

Energized by the prospect of helping the former secretary of state make history, many women are activating their personal networks for the first time to pool contributions for her campaign, helping Clinton tap into new sources of cash as she assembles what is expected to be a more-than-$1­ billion operation.

Already, more than 60 percent of Clinton’s donors are women, according to a campaign official. That puts her on track to outstrip the presidential high-water mark set by President Obama in 2012, when 47 percent of donors who gave him more than $200 were women, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

The surge of female-driven contributions for Clinton could fuel a partisan divide when it comes to gender and political money. In 2012, women gave 52 percent of their federal donations to Democratic candidates, a slight edge the party has held since 1998, according to the center.

Mucho más!

Obama's American Pharoah Triple Crown conspiracy: How president will trick his way to third term
by JD Crowe, statewide cartoonist for the Alabama Media Group.

The same way Barack Obama's rise to the presidency as a Kenyan Manchurian candidate was predestined at birth and orchestrated by a clandestine group of evil global community organizers, American Pharoah was born and bred to be the first Triple Crown winner since 1978 at precisely this time in history. Why? To trick people into thinking about how cool the Triple Crown is and hey, why not give the president a chance to win his own Triple Crown ...!? We are now galloping on that slippery slope.

Conventional conspiracy thinking says Obama's secret plan involves Jade Helm 15, the Pentagon special forces "training exercise" in Texas and 9 other states. The scheme is to declare martial law, take away our guns and put white people in prison camps. With all the good Americans like Chuck Norris, Ted Nugent and Cliven Bundy behind bars while Mexicans and Muslims run free, Obama will remain in office as dictator.

Sounds totally believable, but Obama's not going to need martial law and the military to stay in office beyond 2016. Nope. It's going to be way easier.

America is already excited about horse racing's new Triple Crown winner. All Obama has to do now is convince voters the Presidential Triple Crown is a good idea and it's time to trash the 2-term limit for president. How is he gonna do that? The old-fashioned way: Mind control. The Kenyan Pharaoh is going to access our thoughts, folks. And there's only one thing we can do to foil that plot.

Y'all wanna buy some tin foil hats?
