Hillary, Mitt and Rudy
So there's the Mitt-like parallel of funding your own campaign. And now comes this news via The Page regarding Hillary's senior staff working for free:
Source says they have “voluntarily chosen to work without pay this month” as part of Clinton cash crush against Obama moola factory.
As smintheus points out:
As we saw with Giuliani, when presidential candidates decide to get in touch with the working poor by surrounding themselves with unpaid staff, that can be a sign of a campaign's impending collapse.
The writing is on the wall, Gallup's latest poll notwithstanding. And how ironic is it that the same day Hillary fesses up, when pressed, that she gave $5 mil of her own dough to keep running, that Obama announces he raised nearly the same $5 mil from supporters in one post-Super Tuesday Wednesday? Answer: more ironic than anything in an Alanis Morissette song.

This is definitely extremely satisfying.
I have absolutely no money and I'm sending at least something. And I probably will next week, too. Just got to.

It's just a matter of time now. How much time depends on when she wakes up and smells the coffee. Barring a major fuck-up by Barack Obama (something on the order of clubbing baby seals or personally causing global warming), he's pretty much the nominee at this point. The money problem is bad news for her and it will kill whatever mojo her campaign has left. I'm sorry, but hearing that the campaign just went "volunteer" at the national level is going to be pretty demoralizing for the ground troops.
It's time for the DNC to step in now.
