Hillary climbs money mountain

We will all be so tired of Hillary and Barack long before any primary. The second teams should be getting ready to jump in late this year. Hillary has to much baggage and Barack is about eight years away from the experience he needs. Bill Richardson will look real good with his experience. Al Gore may be the obvious answer for replacing flamed out front runners.

I wonder how much of the Clinton money came by way of China?

Forget about N.Y.

When you can raise $650,000 in a border town like McAllen, TX you can raise money anywhere.

My deceased aunt used to live in McAllen, TX. I visited there two or three times years ago. The place has either changed quite a bit or McAuliffe is using this figure to scare the charles dickens out of the Obama camp.

I wonder how much money for Iraq came by way of China.

Clinton had to have Bill help with the fundraising and yet, it's thought Sen. Obama raised almost as much alone. Which is more impressive?? And what will old Billary do if Obama raised more?

"I wonder how much came by way of China?"

Just like back then, less than Haley Barbour pulled in, Paulo.

Bravo Hillary!!!!!!

Good point vwcat and Obama doesn't have The Chinese and the Saudi's in his back pocket like B.J.Clinton does for contributions

This being a Clinton announcement, and this being the Tribune, I figured it was worth spending 5 minutes online investigating the above story.

The National Journal did some digging into Terry McAuliffe's announcement. See the full article at

An excerpt:

"Clinton Raises $26M... Good, Bad, Or Brick-Crap Time?

Here it is: Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign raised a record-setting $26 million for her presidential campaign in the first three months of a year, an impressive feat that may nonetheless be overshadowed in the next few days by news that Sen. Barack Obama managed to keep pace.

That Drudge headline: HRC "blows the field away" with $36 million -- refers to the $26M and also the $11M she transferred in. The "real" number is $26M. And that's not even the "real" real number, because a campaign spokesman said he was not able to say how much of that total was raised for use in the general election campaign. It's too early for that; the compliance figures are still coming in. We'll know on 4/15.

...

So -- a good number? Yes, but really, not so much."

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D.-N.Y) has raised an estimated $26 million in the first quarter of her campaign for the Democratic nomination, her campaign manager said today. Added to $10 million that Clinton has transferred from her Senate campaign, this put $36 million on the plate for the start of the White House campaign of the former first lady.

It didn't take five minutes to read the article correctly, Bruce. What is your point? The trib said 26M + 10M=36M. Your continued attempt to discredit these stories has gotten so old and tiresome. I can only assume that you get paid to do this because no sane man would perpetually howl at the moon over and over and over again unless he was on a payroll or mental.
