Clinton campaign SPIN on Obama's fundraising
Edited on Wed Apr-04-07 04:56 PM by bigdarryl
Its not about how much money you raise.OH YEAH!! then why all the bragging about the 36 million dollars raised for your campaign. And now there bragging that shes ahead in the polls TRUE but the election isn't until Feb. 08 and anything can happen http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20070404/obama-money

1. And Clinton campaign still has not released how much of the $26M raised can't be spent on primary.
Which makes us all suspicious just how much she raised for the primary alone.

2. Where's the "SPIN" from the Clinton Camp? Please, point it out. I don't see it.......
I found this...

Clinton was at home in New York Wednesday and had no comment on Obama's announcement. But her campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle, issued a statement congratulating Obama and said the fundraising of all the Democratic contenders "demonstrates the overwhelming desire for change in our country." :shrug:

& this

But Edwards said in an interview with Davenport, Iowa, television station KWQC that the prodigious campaign fundraising was evidence that presidential races should be publicly financed.

"We shouldn't be doing these money contests. They're not healthy, they're not good for democracy," Edwards said.
:shrug:

4. actually her camp was quite gracious regarding Obama's success

Clinton was at home in New York Wednesday and had no comment on Obama's announcement. But her campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle, issued a statement congratulating Obama and said the fundraising of all the Democratic contenders "demonstrates the overwhelming desire for change in our country."


It really isn't necessary to stir up extraneous shit, is it?

9. it's bad enough
... that hit pieces from opinion blogs are posted here -- and we could all find such ammunition about any of the candidates -- but misrepresenting what was actually said is beyond the pale. What's worse is that people don't bother to read the links proffered and just launch their nasty snark. Some days I'm embarrassed to be a Democrat and here at DU where eating our own is a sport.

11. The only noticeable spin
is in the OP.

Hillary was gracious in her response.

12. Ok, so the big three all "got it up there" for the first quarter.
The real question is: who can "keep it up there" in the quarters to come? I'm betting on the lady for that.
