VA Dem party has just put out an email that both Clinton and Obama will be at Jeff-Jack on Saturday.   It will be very interesting to see and compare the receptions.

We will tape, process and post all the speeches by Sunday afternoon on Google Video.... on the Mark Levine show on Sunday night we plan on putting highlights, summaries and analysis and then also putting that live one hour show (6:30 - 7:30 PM) up also so those who can't attend the JJ can still get to see the speeches in their entireity.... Also, there is a chance the speeches will be audio streamed on the internet by our crew LIVE if the internet connection at the site in Richmond will support the traffic.... check with the website at www.RadioInsideScoop.com for the link and blog for the show.... we expect to get Clinton, Obama, Webb, Kaine, and Mark Warner so far.... more if they are there..... the only edited content will be the special one hour analysis Live show on "the Inside Scoop" Sunday night....

As soon as I finish processing and up-loading the speeches on Sunday well after midnight sometime, I will post the link here on RK and several other blogs. I hope this helps get real info in the hands of primary voters.....

...for posting this.  It inspired me to go to http://www.hillaryclinton.com/ and give more.  Gloating is unattractive in a candidate, especially one in the Democratic Party.  

Lots of very committed  youngsters(Im 51)  making cell phone calls.    
very exciting to be in the   action next week.

Let's save that for the Republicans.

Besides, just because I don't plan to vote for her, doesn't mean I want to see her humiliated.

I guess I kind of feel that they both should win, although the thinking part of me knows this isn't possible.

Whoever wins, whoever loses, let us behave well.

And save our worse selves for the Republicans!

On what must be the shortest diary you've ever written.

:)

going from $4,532,242 to $4,808,401.  

Seriously, at this point, I think sending $$ to either campaign is a serious misallocation of resources.  The ground game is more important now, and both have the money they need to support that.  If you must be a part of lining media consultant's pockets with your money, at least wait until the general election.

Money helps FUND the ground game.  Get professionals on the ground, move organizations from state to state, etc.

Both campaigns have the money to fund that ground game.  But hey, send another $$$, if it's burning a hole in your pocket.

Don't like any message besides one that says "give give give"?

I don't even see a comment by Grey Havens in this thread.  Also, the diary was posted by Teacherken, not Grey Havens.  

 by The Grey Havens.  I'm interested in the reasoning behind that.  

...I missed that. Sorry.

If people want to give money to a cause they believe in, who are you to ridicule them?

A big part of Obama's staff in Virginia now came from his successful team in South Carolina.  Having cash allows Obama to exploit the mobility of his staff.  If Hillary can't afford to move her staff, she'll have to lay them off and hire (and train) new temporary staff on the fly--never as good.

If we can overwhelm Clinton with a little cash now, we can save ourselves a lot of trouble down the road.

Obama is now at $5,542,072.

This is insane

She did it in January.  The money went into Feb. 5th to fend off Obama.  Her 5 million dollar loan is gone.  

Jump on the bandwagon!

Even if the Clintons don't spend a dollar, they still have a large chunk of the party base planning to vote for them.  She has the advantages of 100% name ID within the party over the course of the past decade.

Obama on the other hand has to spend money still filling in some of the blanks in the minds of voters about who he is.  His name ID is rising, but there are still unknowns that he has to mollify.  

I wouldn't lose sight of the fact that Obama is still the challenger.  The fundraising news helps him in states where the Clintons have fewer built in organizational advantages, but in and of itself it is not decisive.

Obama supporters do need to hedge the expectations game.

Last night should have been seen as a serious body blow for Clinton, but everyone expected Obama to do the impossible.

But that being said, if Obama supporters weren't so crazy, he wouldn't be raising this kind of money.

And I guarantee that the party insiders (supper delegates) are taking notice of this!  Maybe making some people change their mind.

Part of the tough balancing act here is keeping things in perspective.  Money helps a lot, but it isn't alone what wins elections.  Obama needs to keep winning states.  

Those super delegates probably are taking notice, but I would imagine they are also looking to see what impact the money has in electoral terms.  It's the vote count that matters most here.

No guarantees.

I wont be surprised if Clinton posts some good online fund raising numbers . . . though this would be hard to match.

And supposedly she is behind.

not happy.  One Clinton fundraiser said it was a real downer after they were so up Tuesday night and he was wondering where all that money went.  "It's not a meltdown but it's a distress signal."

Calling Dr. Bombay!

Impressive to say the least.  Let's just hope that with that kind of cash Obama can compete on Saturday.

Supposedly 3 million by 8:30

might be keeping pace with Obama

All I care is that we beat her in fundraising.  It keeps momentum with us.
