Deadbeat Campaign

Hillary can't even pay the bills:

Hillary Rodham Clinton's cash-strapped presidential campaign has been putting off paying hundreds of bills for months - freeing up cash for critical media buys but also earning the campaign a reputation as something of a deadbeat in some small-business circles.

A pair of Ohio companies owed more than $25,000 by Clinton for staging events for her campaign are warning others in the tight-knit event production community - and anyone else who will listen - to get their cash upfront when doing business with her. Her campaign, say representatives of the two companies, has stopped returning phone calls and e-mails seeking payment of outstanding invoices. One even got no response from a certified letter.

Maybe that's why her big supporters are threatening to withhold money from Democratic organizations; they think they might have to bail her out. If anything though, it's just another reason she needs to leave the race.

Who were the two companies? So much anti Hillary talk and nothing but Obama bluff? I use to like coming to your site and reading comments about Bush and cronies. I had to do some research myself on Obama and Clinton to decide to switch my vote for Clinton instead. One thing though, you can't convince someone to change or vote the way you want. Knowing you, I bet if you do a bit of research on Obama, you'll change. It's like Snakes on a Plane. So much publicity to gain something, money in the case of the movie but for Obama it's votes (Nuclear Waste Leak, Immigration bill, Kennedy connection,- false statements). I'm sure I'll come back to your site when McCain wins the GE because while Obama may win the nom, he will not win the GE. That's what happens when news reporting and blogs are biased in their information.

I have been very upfront about my support for Barack Obama. Your last line proves the biggest problem with your logic; "...when news reporting and blogs are biased in their information.". Blogs are supposed to be a venue of commentary and opinion. I wonder if you go to the pro-Hillary sites and chastise them for being "biased" also? Some how I don't think so.

Also accusing people of essentially not knowing Obama is not only insulting to myself, but to a majority of the Democrats in this country who have voted for him. Perhaps the reason I support him, despite past problems, is the fact that those problems are out shadowed by concerns I have of Hillary Clinton.
