$10 Million in 24 Hours! Clinton Voters Pony Up!

by FISG, Wed Apr 23, 2008 at 11:12:54 PM EST

In the last 24 hours, the Hillary Clinton campaign has raised one million dollars for each of the percentage points that she beat Barack Obama in Pennsylvania.

Momentum shift?

Duh...I think that is a fair assessment. Money doesn't fall out of trees, it is willfully and faithfully given by those that believe in her.

I would say that this is a strong message to America that Hillary is not only a valid candidate, but a highly electible one!

Keep it going!

Don't just hope for change, Vote for it!

and when Obama had a similar result after Super Tuesday...it was dismissed as no big deal by clinton people.

Well I'm glad to see y'all came around on that score anyway.

Looks like Obama has had 60,000 donors since PA was announced for Hillary.

Re: $10 Million in 24 Hours! Clinton Voters Pony (1.50 / 2)

Your comment is seriously out of date (none / 0)

She was on track to get to $10M in 24 hrs this morning...she is not on track anymore. That is because they have already gotten $10M in 24 hours.

Now, someone will perhaps set a new goal: $20M in 48 hrs. And someone will say "she is on track to raise $20M in 48 hrs"

And then you could come in and sa

"first she is on track to raise $20M, she didnt raise $20M"

And then your comment would not be soo out of date anymore

Re: $10 Million in 24 Hours! Clinton Voters Pony (2.00 / 1)

I think you're right, but surely you must notice both sides are equally guilty, when it comes to this typpe nonsense. Come on, I think if Hillary bowled 250, some Obama supporters would be yelling that he could bowl 251, even though his previous high was 36.

Moreover...

You are spot on correct with the "my dad can beat up your dad"

How are he Democrats going to vote for the winner if they can't be nice to one another as we try to decide who the nominee will be.

That isn't decided yet...You did all notice that didn't you?

It is an astonishing accomplishment by Hillary. The money is pouring into her campaign in an unprecedented level never seen before. People are lining up to support her in mass numbers. What a marvelous turn around for her.

First-time donor here. (2.00 / 1)

When the news reports said she had a 10% lead with 98% of precincts reporting, I decided I had to log on and make a donation. $100 -- it's just the first.

Re: so she is out of debt now? (none / 0)

awfully defensive there buddy. If he did set a 5% target then no he didn't hit it.

Then again, Hillary missed the February 5th target she set for herself. She missed that one big time.

At the end of the day the delegate lead after all of the states have voted will probably be the same it is today.

After that the SD's will survey the situation and ask themselves who represents the future of the party? Who is more likely to bring new voters into the party? Which candidate is leading in delegate lead and the popular vote (no matter how hard Hillary supporters try, normal observers are not counting Michigan)? Which candidate is seen by MORE THAN HALF OF THE COUNTRY as not trustworthy and dishonest?

I would caution Hillary supporters to start preparing themselves for the inevitable.

Re: so she is out of debt now? (none / 0)

That is the most personal and negative one can go and Obama campaign should be ashamed of it. Calling a fellow Democrat as dishonest and not trustworthy is an abhoring act and no democrat should do such a negative attack.

what the hell are you talking about? (none / 0)

This is straight from years of public opinion polls.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/con tent/article/2008/04/15/AR2008041502883. html

Clinton is viewed as "honest and trustworthy" by just 39 percent of Americans, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, compared with 52 percent in May 2006. Nearly six in 10 said in the new poll that she is not honest and trustworthy. And now, compared with Obama, Clinton has a deep trust deficit among Democrats, trailing him by 23 points as the more honest, an area on which she once led both Obama and John Edwards.

Among Democrats, 63 percent called her honest, down 18 points from 2006; among independents, her trust level has dropped 13 points, to 37 percent. Republicans held Clinton in low regard on this in the past (23 percent called her honest two years ago), but it is even lower now, at 16 percent. Majorities of men and women now say the phrase does not apply to Clinton; two years ago, narrow majorities of both did.

Much more important than Obama's weakness in the primary among rural whites, is Hillary's weakness nationwide among the general population. Do you truly believe that someone who is considered "honest" by only 63% of DEMOCRATS is going to win the general election?

no sense to joke about it.

Clinton Voters Pony Up! (2.00 / 2)

I called in the campaign to put my fifty bucks on the table (I had pledged on another blog to donate five bucks per point in her margin). I wanted to call instead of donating by website, because I wanted to get a sense for the mood. The lines were so busy that I had to try three times before I could even get through!

I feel very proud to be a part of the grassroots movement that is literally responsible for keeping this campaign alive and well. This decisive victory honestly felt to me like a victory for all of us, together.

Re: How much of this is for the Primary? (none / 0)

If it's really 10 million (and I have yet to see a solid source for that, other outlets have said only 3.2 million collected so far), let's recall that her debts were 10.3 million at the beginning of April (and presumably much higher by now).

So, hopefully she's paid off her small business debts and clawed her way up to "flat broke."

I've been systematically trying to disengage from the ups and downs of the primary process lately, but because of an impassioned notice I got in my inbox from the Gays for Hillary group on her website and the amazing fundraising going on, I had to pitch in on my tight student budget. Oh Hillary, wherever you are-- knock 'em dead!

She is probably lying (none / 0)

From Micah Sifry:

"An email from Terry McAuliffe, Clinton campaign chairman, that I received three hours ago, says "More than 50,000 people have contributed to the campaign for the very first time in the last 24 hours alone." If 80% of Clinton's donations are from new givers, that implies a total number of about 60,000 donations. If we're very generous and assume an average donation of $100, which is high for first-time donors, that gives Clinton a current take of at most $6 million."

Re: She is probably lying (none / 0)

The posting on their website was not accurate - per the Clinton campaign

"In response to your post about our post-PA fundraising, I wanted to help clarify any confusion. During the course of the 24 hours after the race was called for Sen. Clinton, the astonishing pace of contributions led to a series of updates in the press. If you look at the campaign's afternoon press release, Terry McAuliffe's $10 million figure was a projection of where we'd end up by the end of the day. However, the donor number he mentioned was the latest info he had at the time he was speaking to MSNBC, which was around midday. The sequence of updates was as follows: we were at $2.5 million the night of the election, over $3 million when Sen. Clinton went on the morning shows, $5 million before noon, and Terry McAuliffe projected out the rest of the day. The $10 million goal was then announced on the site late last night."

As I said before... (none / 0)

I'm glad that her supporters are excited and generous, and that she uses the proceeds to pay her employees' health care and the small vendors which she has previously been stiffing.

I would like to see Clinton engage Obama in North Carolina and Indiana with a clean slate so that this stain on Democratic integrity does not hang over our heads like a cloud while we debate the serious issues that affect our country. The last thing we need is to drive small businesses away from the Democratic party, since they are one of the core targets of Republican propaganda.

by Dracomicron on Thu Apr 24, 2008 at 01:06:40 AM EST

Re: As I said before... (none / 0)

There seems to be some confusion about whether or not the 10 million was actually reached. NPR tonight said 10 million was the projected goal, but only 3.2 million had been collected thus far. CNN was reporting the '10 million,' but again it was "projected."

Have you seen a solid source?

Source? (none / 0)

I see the "we did it" on Clinton's website, but NPR reported tonight that Clinton's campaign disclosed that they'd only reached 3.2 million since last night. (Is it possible "it" does not mean the 10 million yet?)

Can you point to another source about the 10 million number?
