Peter Daou tells an interesting story for the press on the $35 million raised ($30 million online). Peter’s a smart guy and probably could have done an even better job if they had let him do this earlier.
The campaign’s Internet chief, Peter Daou, said online donors had included “students who skipped meals, grandmothers who had never used a credit card on the internet.”
Terry McCauliffe blows the story though
“There are $35 million worth of people who have skipped dinners, who have not taken medications, who have written us emails that Peter will talk about so that they can be part of this campaign, they’re there to fight for Hillary Clinton, and I can tell you this, Hillary is going to fight for them…”
Not taking medication? For Mark Penn to get $8 million and $1200 on Dunkin Donuts in a month. Fantastic! I mean, Mark Penn clearly is in need here.
OMG. I get the “volunteers are sacrificing for us” theme, but couldn’t they have chosen better examples with which to frame their $35mil?
This is not the way to take the spotlight off the Big O’s $50mil.
Thank goodness no mention of the people selling there medication… for the love of Hillary. Sell it or skip it after you miss it; it must be pretty scare… the buyers remorse and all.
