New Clinton donor drive modeled on 'online wedding registry'

(CNN) – Hillary Clinton’s campaign unveiled a Pennsylvania fundraising drive Friday that will allow donors to let the campaign know exactly how their money should be spent.

Supporters can decide to direct their donations to one of six categories, according to a campaign memo: “TV airtime; online ads; radio spots; signs; vans; and door hangers.

“Supporters can mix and match how much they want to put towards each item and then ‘check out’ like an online wedding registry.”

The Clinton campaign has restructured spending after donor outrage over a New York Times report several weeks ago, which revealed that thousands of dollars had been spent on party platters and luxury hotel rooms in January, and top consultants had collected roughly $5 million that month.
