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.
