By now, most political junkies know that Barack Obama raised a lot of money in June.
But his campaign's $52 million dollar take for the month becomes all the more impressive when considering the utter lack of help he received from Hillary Clinton's high-dollar fundraising machine. When comparing Obama's full FEC filing for June with a list of 311 "Hillraisers" -- or supporters who bundled more than $100,000 in contributions for Sen. Clinton -- the Huffington Post found only eight names in common between the two lists. Not all of those donors maxed out, either, making for a relatively paltry figure of $19,250 in direct, hard-money contributions from Hillraisers for the month.
I have said this before but it bears repeating.
We do not need Hillary's supporters to win this election! Period.
If they want to participate in the democratic process and be part of the campaign that is going to finally put a stop to the Republicans reign of terror, fine we welcome their support.
But if they want to rend their clothes and scream into the darkness about how unfair they feel their candidate was treated then screw them. That is not productive and it does not show the level of maturity that the Obama campaign needs at this time.
Obama is taking this country and the rest of the world by storm, he is gaining ground in states that were considered impenetrable Republican strongholds, and he is doing it all without Hillary's people doing a damn thing to help him.
So sit at home, eat your carton of Rocky Road ice cream while you wipe tears of frustration off your face, and just continue to feel sorry for yourselves. While you are doing that we will be saving the world. You can thank us later. And please do so in the form of a check.
Party unity my ass.
ReplyDeleteThe great thing is, Obama doesn't need the financial support of the Hillbots and Obama doesn't need the Hillbots votes.
I say let them support McCain because Obama will still win the General Election in November!
the bigger messege here is that now that we know her debt- they weren't supporting her either atleast in the Giving Dept...
