When the HRC campaign complains that they're being outspent 4:1 |
|
doesn't that actually mean that they just mismanaged all their money into extinction, while the Obama campaign managed theirs intelligently?
Aren't they basically complaining about a self-inflicted wound?
Just asking.

1. Yes, both campaigns have raised obscene amounts of money |
|
Apparently Clinton blew through it expecting to win on Feb 5.

3. Does anyone have a figure of what the campaigns have raised and spent? |
|
Hillary keeps saying she's being outspent, but does anyone have the figure of how much each campaign has raised, TOTAL and what has been expended, TOTAL.
Or can you point me in the direction to find this info?

4. That's what I don't understand.... |
|
Obama's outspending her 2-1 to 4-1 depending on the state and he still has tons of money in the bank.
Her campaign is $20M in debt.
By making an issue of this, isn't she just drawing attention to the fact that 1) she can't raise money and 2) she mismanages what she does raise?
:wtf:

5. It basically says that they suck |
|
If you are being outspent four to one, that means you suck and can't raise money.

it's sad to think about how much money it takes to run a campaign...
and how that money could be put to better use---not that I think an intelligent President is an unworthy cause, but you know what I'm saying....

7. It's a 3 person team for her |
|
they have to fly Hill, Bill, and Chelsea all over the country-that 3 or more jets all going in different directions-no wonder they're spending a million a day

8. What I hear, whenever she says that, is "Obama is outRAISING us, 4 to 1." |
|
And, judging from the way she's managed her own campaign, I wouldn't want her within 10 feet of our national budget...

9. It's a bit like when you buy candy for the movies... |
|
some people eat their entire stash (or practically all of it) before the movie begins, while others may take nearly the entire movie to eat it.
Hillary gobbled up so much money in Iowa that she ran out by Super Tuesday.
