Man, talk about a bad decision in hiring:

We are learning more details of the candidates' January fundraising and spending. Clinton ended with debt of more than $7 million; Obama raised $36 million compared to Clintons' $13.6 million. The Clinton debt does NOT include the $5 million personal loan. "But even that money is illusionary when measured against the reported $7.6 million in debts.

More than $2 million of the red ink is owed to chief consultant and adviser, Mark Penn. But the lengthy laundry list of IOUs also includes unpaid bills ranging from insurance coverage, phone banking, printing and catering at events in Iowa, New Hampshire and California."

DOn't worry. They paid that 5 mill loan off very quickly

:)

after all the crap they spew to carry her bilgewater.

well, at least, so far, they've gotten their money's worth!

among Dems and the media.

Gotta wonder what the money bought? What a waste! It would have been better spent supporting a food bank or a shelter--maybe even could have garnered good publicity and some votes!

they're stuck between mark and hard place.

Wouldn't be the first time a campaign did that. If she puts up only a few ads and doesn't increase her ground crew significantly in Ohio and Texas in the next few days, then that is DEFINITELY what she's doing.

sounding similar to a certain p(R)esident-If I can't win then I'll ruin it for everyone (ie the Dem Party)

in 2012. And some Dems will probably be stupid enough to believe that.

are doing to the current Dm congress)

sometimes I'm slow from info overload :blush:

strategy is not working, he hasn't been paid.:shrug:

It's Day 2+ I'd worry about. She selects her people about as well as Chimpy!

...considering all of the *excellent* advice he's given them.

Patti Solis Doyle and HRC are responsible for the financial mismanagement.

think "yeah, but you have a $5 million loan to repay." Turns out it's $12.6 million. Pathetic financial situation...she needs a month's worth of fundraising just to repay her debts and she needs it at a time when her fundraising is going to decrease due to lack of wins.

Do we really want her running the country? I would say no, we're already in too much debt already.

and is raising more $$ daily. I think I like his money management skills a little better than his opponent.

...after all, Obama has a lot of extra cash to throw around.

...and few people have been so instrumental to Obama's success as Mark Penn.

If Mark Penn was my dinner in a restaurant I would send it back.
