An increasing number of people inside the Clinton camp are starting to revise the campaign's stated position that EVERYTHING will be decided on Feb. 5.

Said a top Clinton donor: "A lot of people were focused on it being done by Feb. 5 -- I don't think it's going to be done." That opinion is increasingly being shared by campaign aides who are reportedly prepping for a post-Feb. 5 fundraising drive.

To that end: Over the next several weeks, the Clinton campaign will hold four big-money fundraisers in New York, Washington, northern California and the L.A. area to raise about $10 million for the big Feb. 5th push, according to sources with knowledge.

Several million in pledges were made at a Washington meeting hosted Friday by Bill Clinton that included about 60 high-profile “HillRaisers,” including Bernard Schwartz, Gerald Harrington, Robert Raymar, Robert Zimmerman, Hassan Nemazee and Jeffrey Thompson.

I find it really disconcerting that when we at last have a viable black candidate for president, it is Democrats under the urging of a Clinton Monarchy that is working to deny that opportunity through racist statements, smear tactics, lies, and
organizational chicanery. It's the old
story: "We have met the enemy and it is us." This whole campaign by the Clintons is insulting!
