$52 Million in June WITHOUT Hillary's help....

Obama raised $52 Million in June without the help of Hillary's top fundraisers who gave him only $20k. That is astonishing, but raises some very very major red flags with me.
  1. This proves the Obama campaign doesn't need these people.....and when you don't need someone they either suck up to you or they find a way to undermine you
  2. These are POWERFUL people who have just had their last 20 years of ascendency taken from them...literally having all the relationship building and image building and money donated for one singular purpose swept out from under them. Everything they worked for now means nothing. They will not go quietly into the night.
  3. Hillary hasn't released her delegates
  4. Some of Hillary's superdelegates are trying to band together to nominate her for the VP at the convention, with a more radical group trying to nominate her for President
  5. The fit is going to hit the shan when Obama names his VP next week and it isn't her

Also, the fact that Obama raised $25 million on the last day means that either they held back a lot of donations for the 30th, or when Plouffe sent out that email they really were in a dire financial situation.

Snakes...beware of the snakes...you make a lot of good points. Obama knows that he can't even remotely begin to trust those mofos.

Thats why the Obama big donors are not going to pay off her debts. Its the one thing hanging over her head and preventing her supporters and her husband from getting crap into the media undermining Obama in hopes of stealing the nomination at the convention. After what they saw with Clinton and her crowd, it would be insane to pay off her debt. It made no sense for her to continue with her active campaign after NC/IN but she didn't even want to get out after the final 2 primaries in SD and MT. Her Congressional supporters had to force her out by telling her they couldn't stick with her.

at anon.....I believe if she would have left after NC/IN her debt would be half of what it is now.

Im really sick of hearing the belly-aching and bitching from her supporters. Really?!?! Get the f' over it. SHE LOST. Fair and square. What babies. It really just belittles ANY positives Hillary has.

Those Hillraisers had better get their heads on straight, and soon -- Obama is going to need at least some of them to keep the money flowing in.

Mr. & Mrs. $109 million should eat their entire debt, frankly, since it was the sole result of Hillary hubris. But I'm glad they're cheap because as Anon noted, that debt gives Obama some leverage.

Still, I've been saying for some time that, if Obama loses in November, we'll only have Democrats to blame, and specifically Hillary supporters. If so, I'll quit the party on November 5th and spend the rest of my days plotting bitter revenge.

Megan....all of these people were in power with the Clintons. They all thought Hillary was their ticket back to being in power. Now, they have nothing.
