I don't see a lot of wins for Hillary between now and March 4. Maybe Wisconsin. Maybe.

And Old Man John's march to the nomination shall continue unabated. Thanks, Huck, for costing me $100. >:(

And a fine week this will be.

As Obama is on pace for another $30 million month, a report comes out today that HRC loaned herself $5 million last month. Also, it seems many high-level staffers are working without pay right now.

:) :D ;D

UPDATE: When I posted this, he was at $4.8 million. He raised more than $300,000 in about a half hour.

As much as I'd like to see Obama win, I can't imagine Hillary running out of money. And even if she has to cut back on ads, between her name recognition and her surrogates, I can't imagine it being that big a factor.

 

[Chi City 81]

Obama has now set the single-day donation record with more than $6 million.

 

[Chi City 81]

Bump for Jay. Obama raised $7.5 million. In one day.

Is it a CNN typo or could someone out in Washington state explain the difference between the Feb. 9 caucuses and the Feb. 19 primaries.

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/money/dems.html

Figures through Dec. 31, 2007

Hillary Clinton:
Total raised: $118,301,659
Total spent: $80,353,785
Cash on hand: $37,947,874

Barack Obama:
Total raised: $103,832,507
Total spent: $85,176,289
Cash on hand: $18,626,248

 

[Chi City 81]

Hillary's money is either mostly gone, EStreet, or tied up in her general election fund, which she can't touch unless she gets the nomination.

Obama in January: $32 million
Hillary in January: $13.5 million (plus $5 million loan, which has already been spent)

According to Docs list, they may have mistaken Washington's Caucuses for Wisconsin's Primaries.

So it's a typo. Muppets.

 

[Chi City 81]

If it's a typo, it ain't from me. I pulled the list from CNN.

 

[EStreetJoe]

For Feb. 19 CNN has:
Hawaii primaries
Wisconsin primaries
Washington primaries

Straight Talkin' John takes the day off.

But he'll show up at CPAC to keep the talk-show rubes happy.
Political courage, my arse.

Is there any reason why Washington runs a primary after the caucus?

Takes some digging around, but if you go the election center and check the calendar, click on Feb. 19 and it lists those three.

I found it already. Which gets us back to your original question. Why have this if its little more than a beauty contest with nothing at stake?

There is a GOP Washington state PRIMARY on the 19th
