If Hillary's Supporters Won't Donate Money- They Won't Bother Voting, Either
they aren't invested in her campaign.

IMO, her support is lackluster. So perhaps Obama many come in under 12% after all.

1. Where's the inspiration?


More than 2,600 people packed the Reading High School gym today as it reverberated with screams of, "Yes, we can! Yes we can!" That was followed by loud chants, "O-bam-a! O-bam-a," as the faithful supporters of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama urged him on for Tuesday's Primary.

"Berks County, are you fired up?" yelled Eileen Prussman, leader of the local Obama for President effort. "We want to win this county and win Pennsylvania for Barack."

... "This is a feisty crowd," Mr. Obama said. "Whatever you had for breakfast, I want."

He spoke for 35 minutes and then answered questions for another 40 minutes.

... One of those present, Liz Dunbar, 30, a Reading business woman, says this will be the first election she's voted in.

"He has inspired me to vote," she said. "I always feel I am being lied to by politicians. But Barack makes me feel like there is hope."


It's ALL with Obama!! :bounce:

2. Wouldn't count on it. But under 15 points is a win for Obama. (Spotting Clinton 5 points)

3. I wouldn't count on it either...
10 million in debt surely suggests her supporters are not too keen on investing in her campaign.

4. It looks like all of her money came from big dollar donors.
They gave the max early on, and she can't go back for more.

Obama, on the other hand raised most of his money from small donors, who can keep giving a little at a time, as long as he needs it. First rule of fund raising. Go back to previous donors.

6. Elitist. Her poor base just can't afford to donate or spend time at caucuses
Well, some people could afford to donate $2300.
