"Obama has collected $847,405 from Kentuckians compared to $625,976 Clinton has brought in, according to the most recent Federal Election Commission reports, through March. The campaigns' updated reports through April is due Tuesday -- the day Kentuckians vote in the primary."
It was in April when the "bitter" business in PA began, plus he's putting KY on the back burner until after he's nominated. So...we'll see.
This was encouraging: "Many donors to Obama say they rarely, if ever, give to political candidates."
Uh, hello, he's out-fund-raised her across the board, 2-1 and almost 3-1 in Pennsylvania. Did he win PA?!
No. But he is garnering support in the most unlikely places. A far stronger argument exists in why the established political machine is being absolutely destroyed raising funds. Covertly Senator Clinton will simply not be the nominee because she has become an incredible liability to the Democratic Party. The DNC needs campaign funds for the fall and they know the Senator cannot deliver. Neither she nor husband can be considered assets. While many may point to her staunch support, they are simply a demographic open to the marketing efforts that campaign funds are raised to sway. Her hard-core support is a wash as Independents are 1/3 of the current voting block and a separate party unto itself, and in races where they were allowed to vote she has been unable to win - in fact the victories have been decidedly lopsided.
Senator Obama now has his loyal support group. It is solid, so in marketing terms, he has a base. He needs only appeal to three remaining demographics - Republicans who wish to change, Independents on the fence, and Democrats who would support any Democrat. Assuming he has 1 & 3, he numerically has a very good chance of securing the Presidency and Senator Clinton's disillusioned hardcore supporters (The McCain flippers) become a wash. We must also keep in mind the conservative block has thus far abandoned Senator McCain for a candidate who dropped out of the race, and the electorate is changing dramatically with the loss of more and more seats.
