The way I see it, if they can get Jeb Bush as the Republican nominee, and a Tea Party candidate on the ballot in most of the big states, she can win without spending a nickle of the $2.5 billion slush fund.
In the halcyon days of the first Obama candidacy, the Kenyan adamantly refused (so he said) to take money from lobbyists, corporate, and other, Big Money interests.
No frickin' way.
And remember Obama's first inauguration? (Sniffle) it was a hopey-changey symphony of populist parties, balls, concerts, and ceremonies----just ordinary people getting together to celebrate watta great country we are...electing a black man to high office (sob).
But wait....the second time around Obama announced a BILLION DOLLAR campaign. Obama's corporate/Big Money ban had changed. Monied interests were now welcome with open arms.....and a list of big corporate donors who contributed was released.
The Public Citizen watchdog group was not pleased about the Big Money: Its very unfortunate and quite a reversal of what this president says he stands for.
==========================================
And Now Hillary......being transported to the WH on a mule train overflowing w/ money....w/ more and more added as the days progress. $2.5 Billion in all, she says.
Not that money will have an effect on her politics. (/snix)
