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.

Reality can conform to whatever a liberal demands of it, of course. I'll bet there are lots of basement dwelling pledgers who are rather proud of their contributory promises. Gets 'em laid by girls who also believe they'll call the next day, LOL.

Another analogy might be with the dot.com bust. Come April 14, 2000, the downturn in the technology stock market turned toxic, because people sitting on capital gains, or even ordinary income from exercising insider stock options, hadn't set aside cash to pay the income tax. Instead, they had put the gross gains into the market, and now had to cash in their stock on the downturn. The Obama phenomenom is proving now to be another bubble, dragging down all who "doubled up" in their bet on him.
