blogger interrupted

I’ve had a lot of folks email me, IM me, with really stupid Hillary Clinton stories post primary.  And I’ve told them all the same thing.  I’m in Unity Mode.  No more hitting on Hillary.  Don’t think that because I’m not blogging about it, I forget what a divisive primary this woman ran, and how much debt, all of it HER OWN, that she’s saddled our nominee with paying off.

Except then I saw this today.

But his campaign’s $52 million dollar take for the month becomes all the more impressive when considering the utter lack of help he received from Hillary Clinton’s high-dollar fundraising machine. When comparing Obama’s full FEC filing for June with a list of 311 “Hillraisers” — or supporters who bundled more than $100,000 in contributions for Sen. Clinton — the Huffington Post found only eight names in common between the two lists. Not all of those donors maxed out, either, making for a relatively paltry figure of $19,250 in direct, hard-money contributions from Hillraisers for the month.

It gets worse.  Hillary’s people claim that the best way to raise money from Hillary people is to HIRE THE HILLARY PEOPLE.

A source close to the Clinton camp who spoke to the Huffington Post on background said the trend was not irreversible for the Obama campaign, however. “The best thing they can do to bring the Clinton people along is to hire Clinton finance staffers to work with their donors,” the source said, adding that no high-level Clinton finance figures have been hired to work for the campaign.

Folks, if this situation was reversed, you’d see Terry McAuliffe’s face all over the television berating Obama donors to get over themselves, get out their checkbooks, this is a tough race, blah blah blah. 

Memo to Hillary donors - SUCK IT UP.  Your candidate lost.  Either you want to elect a Democrat president, OR YOU DON’T.  If you don’t, there are plenty of people who you can go hang with on Fox News.  

And Barack is showing, to the tune of $52 MILLION IN ONE MONTH that the Hillary machine is NOT, like the blogosphere, NOT in a position to whine about what hoops Barack has to jump through to get their money.  (see - How Barack Changes The World Part 45).  

So the question for Hillraisers, HillDonors, and HillSycophants, do you want to elect a Democrat president, or not?   If not, there’s the door.  Don’t let it hit you in the ass on the way out.
