Hillary and Bill raise funds for depleted bank balance
New York City News.Net Monday 18th August, 2008
A huge fund raising effort is underway in the Hillary Clinton camp.
Her husband, former president Bill Clinton, has taken to the road with anotherfundraising appeal which he is encouraging supporters to join by offering large contributors a memorable week with his wife on the Obama campaign trail.
Hillary Clinton remains in campaign debt more than two months after she ended her historic bid for the White House.
Many of Clinton’s supporters have become angry with Barack Obama for not doing more to help the New York senator reduce her campaign debt.
But the Clintons are reportedly not seeking to get their own money back from the party but are still seeking funds from large supporters.
As of the end of June, Clinton was more than $25 million in debt, $13 million of which is owed to herself.

Hillary and Bill raise funds for depleted bank balance
Just proves to me (Australian)that one has to be rich to become a politician in America. The most ridiculous system I have ever seen. Fancy, 18 months on the campaign trail - what a waste of governments time when they could be doing something to help make life much better for the middle to poor American people. Wake up America and get real on democracy.

Clinton is VP favorite among Dem delegates
Clinton is VP favorite among Dem delegates
Obama not selecting Clinton shows continued poor judgment for the Democratic Party!
REALCLEAR POLITICS;
Senator Hillary Clinton, without doubt, would be the ultimate and qualified VP surprise. She would be a big-league pick for Obama, and a gesture designed to unify the Democratic Party. She still polls higher against Mccain than Obama even after June. If you scroll down Obama’s list of choices, the analysis hasn’t really changed: Obama with anyone other than Clinton doesn’t seem to add much at all, while an Obama-Clinton “Dream Ticket” would be nearly unstoppable. Eight weeks ago Obama probably felt like he didn’t need her. Eight weeks later, he probably needs her more than he’s willing to admit, and certainly more than she needs him. If Obama wants to win, and if his ego will allow it, he should pick Clinton.
CBS:
Senator Hillary Clinton is by far the favorite choice for the number two spot on the Democratic ticket, according to a CBS News/New York Times poll of delegates to the Democratic convention. By more than five to one, 56 percent superdelegates think putting Clinton on the ticket would help Obama win the election. Other people mentioned by at least 2 percent of delegates as possible Obama running mates include retired General Wesley Clark, Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, Virginia Senator Jim Webb, and Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius.
New York, Aug.19:
At least 28 percent of the delegates likely to attend the Democratic Convention in Denver, want Hillary Clinton to be Barack Obama’s running mate. Six percent favor Delaware Senator Joe Biden, and four percent mention two other unsuccessful Democratic candidates: New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and former North Carolina Senator John Edwards. Support for Clinton as the first choice for the vice-presidential nomination is universal. Sixty-one percent of delegates pledged to Clinton name her as their choice for vice presidential candidate.

Frightening MUST SEE
The mainstream media has frankly put the security of our great country at risk with an Obama coronation media like CNN & MSNBC is the only way Obama managed to steal the Dem nom. It’s extremely concerning that so many Americans could care less about who their candidate really is?? simply amazing and frankly scarey.
PLEASE WATCH AND SHARE WITH EVERYONE ASAP

What bills has he authored?
What has he championed?
What is his vision?
The man talks and talks but nothing really comes out.
His voting record and lack of voting on key topics is revealing.
