We’ve received some criticism about all the money our campaign has collected so far. I don’t know how much but it’s a lot. Where does all the money go?
People. Television. Radio. Newspapers. Fundraisers.
Fundraisers? Yes. It costs money to raise money. It’s worse than United Way. I look at the budget from time to time. The numbers just get bigger. Coming in and going out.
She who manages campaign contributions the best wins the war. That’s what I always say. Right now the money is on Democratic candidates by about three-to-one, over Republicans. Those are good odds, except that we’re wasting so much hard-earned Democratic money on campaigns that won’t make it through to spring.
Keeping score is a fun political sport in and of itself. For example, Mitt Romney’s faltering campaign has spent more than twice what he brought in from contributions. That’s a bad sign for him and his supporters. Who wants to give money to a dead horse? Dark horse, yes. Dead horse, no.
One of our operatives inside Barack Obama’s campaign says they’ve prepared an email campaign to solicit money. The email subject is “Hillary’s Money.” I like it. Catchy. He’s begging for money now, and you know what that means, right?
Uh huh. Dead horse. Nobody beats on a dead horse.
