22. You maybe whistling past the financial graveyard on this one.
This problem was predicted for Hillary in the fall. She depended on wealthy donors who maxed out early, while
Obama counted on small donors whom he could return to over and over again.

Yes, I am sure that her small donations will increase when her supporters hear the news.
But not enough to match Obama's. We, too, hearing that she is struggling will strengthen his campaign
with more donations. I have already given 150 this month and now will be giving more.

She just cannot keep up. Do you really think at a time of recession, when most of her "downscale democrat" supporters
are struggling with food and gas expenses, they will fork over what she needs.

The irony is that she depended on rich supporters. They came through for her. She thought she would have it
cinched by now. She doesn't. And she is hurting financially.
