Referendum

If fundraising were an election, Barack Obama has won it by a landslide

Hillary Clinton's campaign is going bankrupt.

The presidential hopeful had to loan to the campaign $5 million of her own money in order to keep the campaign afloat. It's been reported also that all senior staffers have foregone their salaries. That supposedly includes Mark Penn's $4.2 million in consulting fees.

Well, when word got out, donors to the Obama campaign have gone bat-shit insane and have moneybombed the campaign's coffers with almost 7 million dollars. This just since February 5th, so that's little under 72 hours.

If each campaign contribution were considered representative of voting patterns, Barack Obama is beating Hillary Clinton and all the Republican nominee candidates COMBINED by a landslide.

Of course, the Clintonistas are in denial. So much so that bloggers like Taylor Marsh are now repeating the stupidity of Mark Penn and calling Hillary Clinton the underdog of the campaign.

Hillary Clinton. Underdog.

Weren't Billary "inevitable" just a month ago, especially after New Hampshire? The cognitive dissonance over that one would make a weaker person's head explode.

This is the worst kind of news for the Clintons campaign.
