McAuliffe says campaign has all the money it needs to finish the primaries

[madfloridian]

even if she has to lend her campaign more money. I guess that will be good news to those caterers and consultants who are as yet unpaid.

Clinton moves on

One sign told it all tonight as Hillary Rodham Clinton gave her victory speech here at the Charleston Civic Center after decisively winning the West Virginia presidential primary.

One side: We are with you Hillary

Flip side: Until the last dog dies

“I’ll never give up and I’ll stand with you as long as you stand with me,’’ Clinton said in her speech. She contends that the continuation of the contest—which some think is unwinnable for her—“has been good for the Democratic Party.’’

Here are Terry McAuliffe's words on the situation.

Terry McAuliffe, Clinton’s campaign chairman, agreed in an interview that campaigns often end because of a lack of money. “You bet,’’ he said. “I agree with that.’’

But he maintained the Clinton campaign has the money it needs to continue for the last three weeks of primaries.

“The good news is we have bought all of our media,’’ he said. “We’ve been up here. We’ve been up in Kentucky. We’ve been up in Oregon. We’ve opened our offices in all the remaining states.’’

....Asked if Clinton has loaned the campaign any more money, he said, “She has not. She’s told me she’d be willing to lend more. But we have not.’’

All is well says Terry McAuliffe, and he added “I’m not telegraphing what we are spending in states,’’ he said. “But our staff’s fully paid. We’ve opened all of our offices. We’re buying media. We’re doing everything a candidate does for president and tonight I think we’ll have another great night as we had last Tuesday night on the Web.’’

1. You've been to these rodeos before, and I so have I... he is doing his job

now when they DON'T pay then it becomes a matter for the courts.

But him saying that, or telling us on MSNBC that we are going to the COnvention and damn it stop saying is over.. is his job

Ah political theater, ain't it grand?

[cliffordu]

2. lying sack of shit, that McCauliff

[hisownpetard]

7. And, damn, he just wouldn't stop talking.

That's quite a feat, considering he was out-talking Tweety!
I had to leave the room.

[OhioBlue]

10. yeah - I have to leave when he is on too. n/t

[doublethink]

3. So guess when Hillary said tonight to go to Hillary.com and donate ....

it was to pay off the ..... 20 million debt?

[kevinbgoode]

4. So this is really all about making some money

I see a televangelista career ahead for the Clintons.

[hisownpetard]

19. Bill and Hillary Faye?

[Berry Cool]

23. What a hilarious picture that brings to mind.

Bill as Jim Bakker, asking everyone to praise the Lord and pass the collection basket, while Hillary in blue eyeshadow and ten pounds of mascara cries her eyes off smiling and thanking everyone.

[hisownpetard]

24. Somehow I can't picture Hillary with a hoarse voice that cracks as her eyes tear up

just before passing the collection plate. But, hmmm - come to think of it - why, yes!
Yes, I think I can!!

[CalGator]

5. what they meant is they still have a credit line -nt

[kwenu]

6. They're broke and McAuliffe lies.

[AtomicKitten]

8. I bet they fully expect Obama to ultimately foot the bill for their folly.

[madrchsod]

15. he will not do that...besides it`s illegal and unethical

[AtomicKitten]

18. he can agree to raise the money for her but can't pay out of his campaign coffers

She deserves neither, particularly if she continues on while massively in debt and stiffing colleges and vendors across the country. She has run a shit campaign and has managed her money badly. It's been pretty breathtaking watching it unfold, but we clearly dodged a bullet with her candidacy. Oy.

[Raine]

9. Sure it does

:rofl:

[City Lights]

11. Riiiiight, Terr. That's why HRC was begging for donations 3 mins.

into her speech tonight. :eyes:

You're one helluva spinner, Terr. :applause: Gotta give ya credit for that.

[Emillereid]

12. Then why does she keep begging for money?

[zulchzulu]

13. When you are $20 million in debt and not paying vendors, you got plenty of money...

You're called a mooch, a freeloader, a scumsucking asswipe... just like a compulsive gambler who owes thousands to his loaner, he has plenty of money to gamble more...

[NewHampshireDem]

14. "Put Neidermeyer on it. He's a sneaky little shit just like you. "

Okay, I know that's Chip Diller, but still ... It's funnier that way.

[tishaLA]

16. Good news. That means she doesn't need more donations

but you can still give, if you like, at hillaryclinton.com

Once again, that's hillaryclinton.com

[SeattleGirl]

17. Gawd, he truly IS in la-la land.

She's in debt $25 MILLION! And money isn't a problem?

[Jane Austin]

20. 'Till the last dog dies."

I hate that expression - it makes me think of dog fighting.

Is there another context for it that I'm not considering?

thanks.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

21. what is Hillary having a yard sale

to raise funds?

[Yukari Yakumo]

22. McAwful is a lying incompetant POS.

I'm in Montana, one of the few states left on the schedule. Obama has been blitzing the airwaves with ads for almost a month. Hillary? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Buying media? Bullshit.
