The host committee for the Democratic National Convention faces a possible shortfall of $15 million, complicating logistics for the August event and forcing it to abruptly postpone a media walkthrough of the site scheduled for next week.
The Democratic National Committee has asked the cash-strapped panel to raise $40.6 million by tomorrow to finance the event. Last month, the committee said it had just $25 million in cash, and it has failed to meet each of several fund-raising deadlines since signing a contract with the DNC last year.

>>DNC needs to raise $15 million by tomorrow
Rut roh! Are the Chinese Communists going to foreclose on their property?
I thought the Dims were swimming in cash and the RNC had the buget shrotfalls? Well nothing a loan from a particular saudi prince can’t fix.
I for one would be a lot happier about this news if the Republicans were running a Conservative.
Paging George Soros.
Can’t they just tax the rich or something to get the 15 mil?
Why doesn’t the fake messiah hand over some of his cash? Ya know, the cash he’s made by the same people screaming POVERTY!! THE SKY IS FALLING!!!
I guess it’s best to hand over money to a golden cow than feed the family.
For Hillary’s debt?? Or will Hillary just sc*** everyone. When you run up that much debt....I’d say a shaft job was the intention from the beginning.
Why don’t they ask the owner and general manager of the RAT party (George Soros) for a check…Simple!
The Obamamessiah has a campaign staffer with a line and hook trying to land a fish with 15 million dollars inside...
Very true. I almost forgot that their was a Clinton involved.
their=there
Did they try to in touch with that kid that sold his bike?
Why don’t they just sell their souls? Oh, nevermind. They already did.
Probably got a deal on the sales fee too..
Ahhh, Soros to the rescue??
I expect some sort of “extension” to be granted, and I also think the DNC will not want to be THAT blatantly tied to George Soros.
Talk about sitting duck:
“The DNC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Soros”
That would drop on them like a ton of bricks.
I’m on the Obama campaign’s mailing list. They’ve been sending me emails for some time saying that any donation I make will be matched 100% by “a previous donor who has agreed to give again”. I assume they are sending these emails to millions of people right now.
Same people who are the problem, not the solution!
The RNC has plenty of cash and the DNC is broke.
The RCCC and RSCC are broke and the DCCC and DSCC have loads of cash.
McCain will end up getting monies from the RNC while Obama will end up giving cash to the DNC.
Strange days indeed.
Who is the buffoon?
I think they are. One. For something. Somewhere.
Whatever happened to “The democrats are out-fund raising the Republicans?”
Guess that was just more MSM lies. I am getting used to the lies, I am.
JoMa
Too bad you don’t have some old Soviet roubles with the face of Lenin on them to send.
John Hickenlooper, Mayor of Denver and active fundraiser for the August convention.
The independents? Probably. But the Soros ties really haven't had much of an impact as of date. Besides, the MSM wont harp on it...look at the way it covered the recent Supreme Courts decision of allowing terrorists the same rights we have, in OUR courts PAID FOR BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!
Sorry about the caps, I'm still ticked off talking about it....
Sort of, there is a media consumption split in the US NGZ, the sources of information for the average American have now become difused.
Meaning the MSM may not cover it, but “our” media outlets will, Soros is a Obamao Paternalist, and a dedicated Anti American.
That matters to “us” at least.
oh they will....illegally... then we will find out about it 6 months after the election. Then there will be comments from concerned democrats saying... “ I am sure there may have been some over enthusiastic donations but I assure you it is our intention to follow all the rules”..... Then after 3pm eastern time on july 3rd there will be a small ap article that says....” The election commission found illegal donations to the denver democratic convention but feels there is not enough evidence to prosecute...”
And so it continues....
Maybe they should quit taxing outrageously the rest of America, and people might fund their little soires.... oh that’s right... we don’t count..... I forgot....
I’ve studied campaign contributions a bit. It’s pretty complicated. Each party moves money around from one PAC to another to get around the rules. My guess is, when all the various entities are aggregated, that the donations are a lot more equal than Big Media plays it.

This poor-pockets bs-du-jour is solely to prove that Dean can raise an eight-figure sum from subway-seat fart-suckers on short notice, as Hillary & Bubba will be all out to replace the Screamer after Barry loses.
Is Howie a great leader or what? Sort of gives insight into how effective Nobama 08 would be.
The last story I read said that the RNC was doing much better then the DNC at raising money. Operation Chaos has had their donners donating to the primary race where their were two candidates pretty much equally loved. Now 1/2 of that donating group are really upset and have probably closed their purses for the season. Republicans seem to always wait for a nominee before sending money and in the meantime support the RNC knowing it will help with Congressional races. I think it’s great that they wasted what they might need for the general in the primaries. Like I said before here in Ohio we’ve been seeing McCain ads daily for about a month or more and zero from BO.
How come? Did they finally decide to do the right thing and start paying reparations for being the party of slavery and Jim Crow all those years?
I wonder if I could get a poster of that pic to put where he would see it everyday and remember to be more careful.
"Right-Click" on the picture and click "Save Image As" and give it a name. now you can use MS-Paint or any other photo package to adjust the size and print it out...
best of luck for Mr.Ditter 8^)
LOL! Thanks for the info and your confident attitude that “I can do it”. I can’t but my son can. ;9)
welcome...
