This is not a good sign for things extending past Super Tuesday.

(38,687 posts)'The first gathering is set to take place at Sarabeths restaurant earlier in the day in Manhattan and the second event will be at the nearby Wayfarer restaurant, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter, who declined to be named as these decisions are made in private. The guest list shows there will be at least 280 attendees split between the two events and each have contributed $2,800 to gain entrance. Nobody has dropped out of attending, these people noted.
There are many others who donated that same amount but could not attend, these people added.'

(38,687 posts)'Joe Bidens presidential campaign took in $22.7 million in the fourth quarter, an improving fundraising pace that still lags some of his rivals for the 2020 Democratic nomination.
It marks the best cash haul for the former vice president so far, his campaign announced Thursday. It did not say how much money it had in the bank heading into January, the crucial final weeks before the first primary nominating contest in Iowa.
We had a great quarter, and were going to expect another one next time, Biden said in a video shared by his campaign.'

(48,649 posts)through a lot of money on advertising, more than anyone else.
A recent Politico article said Warren's spending on advertising in the last weeks before Iowa was second only to Sanders'.

(32,640 posts)Does the source of your stat separate out individual donors from individual donations? Do share.
By the end of June, Ms. Peloza, a 34-year-old office manager at an elderly care facility in Illinois, had donated more than 850 times to Mr. Sanders.

(5,376 posts)I think they found their TV spending was ineffective. That's not a good sign. So they must be using that money for Get Out the Vote in Nevada.
Warren now needs to finish 3rd in Nevada AND beat BOTH Biden and Klobuchar to be viable going forward.

bluewater
(5,376 posts)The article says she is canceling TV ads in Nevada , but also moving money from SC to Nevada.
She is concentrating on Nevada and conceding SC, and not putting that money into TV.
Like I said, probably it's going into Get Out the Vote on the ground since Nevada is a caucus.
Her TV ads must have been ineffective.

(15,344 posts)"conceding" SC.
I see it more as putting the $$$ where she needs it NOW.
Per a mailing I received this am, the campaign has raised USD 5 million since Iowa and has set a new goal of USD 7 million by NV.
She is simply not spending beyond her means. Once she has the $$$, she'll move it back.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

(5,376 posts)I think you are correct.
A 2nd or 3rd place finish in Nevada would bounce her back up for SC.

(13,582 posts)This is never the sign of a healthy campaign. It can be explained away as adjusting resources - but its the canary in the coal mine really. If she starts laying off staff anywhere - then its over.
To be honest, Im shocked.

(649 posts)Since I first voted for McGovern in 1972, I have enthusiastically voted for a presidential candidate twice. Count em, two times. In 1972 and 1984 (Mondale). In every other election Ive had to hold my nose.
My support is the kiss of death. And, at 70, it doesnt look like Ill live to see the day a true progressive occupies the White House. Hell, if we dont win in November were probably gonna be living under a fascist autocracy.

(24,103 posts)The only thing Elizabeth lacks is more political experience... but then, Obama showed that shouldn't be a deal killer when other major positive attributes are factored in.
BTW, I believe that Elizabeth would make an EXCELLENT choice as President Sanders' VP... in case you couldn't already tell I support that decision.

(5,183 posts)But the sad truth is every single one of these candidates except one is going to not be the nominee. I'm concerned that my man Joe might be facing the same fate. When our candidate becomes the latest one to drop out then we just have to look for the next best candidate to get behind.

Its a smart move. Warren has the best infrastructure and should do very well on Super Tuesday.
She does need to come out swinging in the next debate. And swinging at Trump. Hit hard on her independent commission plan to investigate Trump administration corruption. Talk about the CFPB. If the moderators bring up healthcare plans for the billionth time she just needs to say she will sign what Bernie and Amy can deliver from the Senate and that we all want to improve healthcare but Democracy is on life support and you need a corruption fighter like her on your side. Just like she helped save our asses in the Great Recession and fought for reform- one of which was the CFPB.
Steyer needs to drop out and get back to organizing. We need him organizing protests ASAP.

(1,584 posts)Relentless texts and emails asking for donations. Her fundraising team needs to dial it back a bit. Hounding people for money just pisses people off.
And quit asking for five bucks. Ask for twenty or whatever you can spare.

StevieM
(10,499 posts)I think she is hoping for a turnaround there. If she doesn't break through then I expect her to exit the race.
To be clear, I am only talking about my speculation. She has the right to stay in for as long as she wants and nobody should fault her for doing otherwise.
