Hillary Clinton Asks To Keep Donor Money for 2012
NY Observer ^ | July 14, 2008 | Jason Horowitz

Hillary Clinton's campaign is sending out letters to donors asking permission to roll a $2,300 contribution to Clinton's 2008 general election coffers to her 2012 senate election fund instead of offering a refund.

The letter, read to me by one recipient, includes a photocopy of a handwritten note from Clinton that says, "Dear friend, your commitment has meant so much to me over the course of my presidential campaign. You were there for me when I needed you the most and I'll never forget it. I hope you'll help me continue to fight for the issues and causes we believe in by filling out the enclosed form in support of Friends of Hillary."

The form says, "I hereby verify that my 2008 general election contribution may be designated to the 2012 Senate election. I designate the entire amount to the 2012 primary election. However if I have already contributed to the 2012 primary, I designate any amount in excess of $2,300 to the 2012 general election."

"If we do not hear back from you by August 28 2008 we will automatically refund your contribution."

This donor, at least, had no intention of signing. "Of course I'm going to get my money back," the donor told me.

"She wants the money back to run for reelection to the Senate in 2012, not President."

...asking permission to roll a $2,300 contribution to Clinton's 2008 general election coffers to her 2012 senate election fund...

She thinks it's an IRA.

Are you sure? Landslide Lyndon had a law changed so that he could run for both offices at the same time. I believe it was a state law, not federal...

Maybe thats right. I read that it applied to Kerry so I thought it was a Fed law.

if she’s going to save it and run for prez again in 2012, she’ll need:

a face lift,

tummy tuck,

a butt lift.

..And a brain transplant.

yes!

remember how she’s marketed by the media as the “worlds most intelligent woman”? !

yet, she flunked her bar exam.

and, her dim-witted daughter flunked out of stanford’s pre-med, taking up

sociology.
