Hillary Has Raised Only 5% of PA TV Airtime Goal
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/04/2008 8:14:28 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

As a loyal Clinton campaign email subscriber, rarely a day goes by that I don't hear from Hillary or Bill. It's good to know they're thinking about me. But today brings some very troubling news: Hillary is WAY behind on her fundraising goal for TV airtime in Pennsylvania.

The gist of today's message from Hillary is that we supporters are being given a cafeteria list of PA campaign expenditure needs, and we get to designate exactly where we want our contribution to go.

I had been torn between door hangers and yard signs, when I decided to check out some of the other options, and . . . YIKES! As you'll see from the image, the budget for TV airtime in Pennsylvania is $2.5 million, but Hillary has raised only $129,947. That works out to only 5.1% of the goal!

LOL! Rush might have to hold a cookie bake sale to contribute now that Norman Hsu is in jail. Thanks for the ping, Mark.

You’ll see how this works. Just wait until November. I’m no fan of McCain but the odds he’s the next POTUS are good.

Nothing embarrasses the Clinton's nor will puke them off the gut wagon.

That is INSANE.
Knock the clintons out while they are struggling within their own party.

My kids in Pa say that Obama ads are all over TV and they rarely hear about the corrupt bitch at all.
Still, fast Eddie and Mayor Nutter will deliver Pa to her, but we can try to keep the loss a narrow one.

Maybe Rush can have a few Rush to Excellence live shows/campaign events. Would Hillary turn down a quick $5 million of bundled contributions just because it came from Rush's shows? Or would she demand that it be laundered through the Communist Chinese to remove any taint of inappropriate donors from it?

Let's forget about Operation Chaos. Let it be McCain Vs Obama. Anybody but Hillary is my motto. I don't want her to win the democratic nomination because she just might win the general election. Im registed as a Democrat and voting for Obama.

Let's deliver the knock out punch.

Let's not make the same mistake as the bad guys did in the James Bond movies.

We’re on the same page. She needs to go and losing this nomination is the way to do it. She will be reduced to NOTHING.

Boortz had a good take on this: She borrowed $5 mil, and is in debt now. She MUST stay in the race to keep her fundraising alive, because once she drops out, she’s on the hook for ALL that money she owes!

Forgive them... they don't realize what a break we get with BO as the nominee against a RepublicRAT. Bottom line is any true, DNC chaos will be brought about by the RATS themselves.

Your last line is a keeper. Here is why I am still not down with what Limbaugh says will work:

1. Obama’s not a registered card carrying African American. He’s still an American African to our black preacher (read imans of the politic) clique. Therefore he can be tossed like yesterday’s trash once the Clintons win and no one will really care. No one other than white liberals and they will do as they are told.

2. The Clintons will wage a fierce national campaign where the gentried class is the target. Blacks will line up behind their preacher imans and the coalition will vote for the Clintons, not Hillary but rather the entire package. We haven’t really seen Bill Clinton campaign yet. Alternatively candidate Obama reverts to African American status for the national election and becomes essentially unelectable.

If the foregoing happens, Rush Limbaugh is persona no grata. He thinks McCain is the MSM choice so why should we trust him?

I would contribute to a 527 group preparing to run parody ads in PA which looked like Shrillary campaign ads but praised her for her more outlandish LIES such as bravely landing under sniper fire in Bosnia, telling Sir Edmund Hillary she had been named for him, etc. etc. Not to mention her FLIP-FLOPS on the war and fighting terrorism!!!!
