A replay of the break-down of Hillary’s campaign treasury?

I guess The One should stop touting his great experience as evidenced by running his campaign.

Suddenly Obama’s decision to not accept public financing isn’t looking so smart.

Better get those community organizers to work signing up homeless people to launder large foreign contributions.

Obammie donors could get more “bang” for their buck by buying a copy of Nazi Pelosi’s book instead.

...early fund-raising totals have suggested that Mr. Obamas decision to bypass public financing may not necessarily afford him the commanding financing advantage over Senator John McCain that many had originally predicted...Translation: WHOOPS!

0bama needs more money to buy more $7 million Greek columns, pay his 300 advisors, pay off even more “consultants”, and pay 500 astroturfers to smear Gov. Palin.
To: Bubba_Leroy
But I thought his campaign was a sterling example of his executive abilities and managerial skills.
He may have to "down-size" his 300 person foreign policy team.

Just a hunch- this will be followed up in a couple of weeks by a story that proclaims the brilliance of the magical one as he manages to break all records for all time and has refill his coffers.

You'd think the NYT would use the term “federal” money rather than U.S. money to describe public financing.
NYT makes it sound like Obama’s obtaining foreign money.

"Guess he should have kept some of that Rezko money..." What is it about him that makes you think he didn't?

I think it’s a replay of Dean’s financial collapse last time around, based on Internet contributing. My theory is these clowns report pledges from guys still living in their parent’s basements, who later welsh.

“But the campaign is struggling to meet ambitious fund-raising goals it set for the campaign and the party. It collected in June and July far less from Senator Hillary Rodham Clintons donors than originally projected.”
Hah. They are unaware of their insulting attitudes towards Hillary’s people.
“Moreover, Mr. McCain, unlike Mr. Obama, will have the luxury of concentrating almost entirely on campaigning instead of raising money, as Mr. Obama must do.”
Small, private fundraisers for Obama, time out of the public eye.
“Democratic strategists disagree, pointing out that campaign finance rules impose serious restrictions on Mr. McCains ability to fully make use of his partys bank account.”
Underlying meaning: Obama’s people took control of party coffers with Dean’s puppy dog-like assent. Obama’s people are going to use every last party dollar for themselves, not the down ticket campaigners. Or they will spread a few bucks around not to be so blatant.
