Short of cash, Clinton is forced to cut spending

No-frills events eyed ahead of next primaries as campaign debts grow

PATRICK HEALY and MICHAEL LUO
updated 5:10 a.m. ET, Fri., May. 9, 2008

The once-formidable fund-raising machine of Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton has begun to sputter at the worst possible moment for Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign, Clinton advisers and donors said Thursday, with spending curtailed on political events and advertising as Mrs. Clinton seeks to compete in the last six nominating contests.

Mrs. Clinton’s diminished political momentum, following Tuesday’s loss in the North Carolina primary and her narrow victory in Indiana, appears to have had a dampening effect on her fund-raising, aides said, increasing the likelihood that Mrs. Clinton will lend her campaign more of her own money beyond the $11 million she has already provided.

Clinton advisers said Mrs. Clinton was committed to spending more of her own cash on the campaign if necessary, although they spoke optimistically about a rise in fund-raising if she prevails in Tuesday’s primary in West Virginia.

The campaign is clearly running low on cash, although advisers would not say how much money — or how little — Mrs. Clinton currently has. The campaign had started April with over $10 million in unpaid debts, and Mrs. Clinton was vastly outspent by Senator Barack Obama in North Carolina and Indiana.

When people believe in your vision, no matter how hard they work, or the color of their collar, they put up or shut up. Which is why Obama is winning by every metric imaginable.

29. who didn't go to college because everyone knows college makes your opinions stupid

[CreekDog]

8. nvm

:yoiks:

[newmajority]

9. Am I black today, or an egghead?

Screw it.... I gotta drink more coffee before I can make a heavy decision like that. :hangover:

[hisownpetard]

11. Paul Begala's comment shows his ignorance: being black and being an egghead

are not mutually exclusive.

[graycem]

12. White guilt?

heh, I kid. He sure got plenty of my ivory dollars, and I must admit, that I have NEVER given this much to politics. In fact the first time I ever donated was to Kerry/Edwards and not nearly this much. I am far more motivated this time around. He's even encouraged me to give to the DCCC and the DNC, which I never did before. He made a huge gamble on we regular folk and it's really paying off, and will carry him to the WH.

[razors edge]

13. Now on Pay-Per-View...

Reverend wright's greatest hits and bloopers.

Love him or not, these out-takes of America's most famous black pastor.......

[Coexist]

15. I donated - I guess before I knew I wasn't supposed to support him.

[Fire_brand]

16. White people with money don't count!!

[mystieus]

19. He got some of my "white" dollars..." mine too!

Why even make threads like these.. doesn't make any sense.

[Buzz Clik]

22. White guilt. Our contributions to Barack are a form of reparations.

[BlooInBloo]

25. hahahaha!

[Roxy66]

26. I'm a white single mom.....ummm- I just donated $25.00 dollars!!!

[mystieus]

31. $15.00 here ;)

[roseBudd]

28. Us educated elites that don't work hard because computer stuff is easy doncha know!

us computer literate people we just pretend to work, our magic computers are really doing all the work while we loaf

[yardwork]

30. This white person didn't realize that I wasn't allowed to send money to Obama.

Oops. He got some of my money. Fortunately, it wasn't earned through hard work, on account of I have a college degree.

[PVnRT]

32. They give up a couple lattes a week, apparently

Oh, and they're holding off on buying a new pair of Birkenstocks.

[DefenseLawyer]

36. Gotta be Oprah

No other way to explain it.

[Avalux]

37. HE DOESN'T.

The Clinton Campaign has nothing so they're desperately throwing out their trump card - only problem is - it's backfiring big time.
