Breaking News: Clinton Camp Runs Out of Money; Only Have $2.50 Left.
...And oh, this just in.

Bill Clinton got a double cheeseburger off the dollar menu and put it on the campaign's tab.

Clinton is in serious trouble, folks.

With the HUGE lead Obama mounted last night after taking insane amounts of delegates and wins, it's like like a matter of days before Hillary Clinton sheds her first REAL tear and drops out. Only to go into hiding, and never be seen again.

Super Tuesday spells the end of the road for Hillary Rodham Clinton

:sarcasm:

23. LOL Warlords!
I remember that sketch! I guess that was when Somalia was the issue du jour. The 90s! Good times, good times. Most of the Obamatrons can't remember that happy era. Or I guess they just had bad experiences in the early grades.

30. I blame Clinton for making good grudge bands sell out.
Music was much better when they had angst. Then they got happy and shit.

of my favorite TV memories.

4. You don't think it's a problem that Hillary isn't getting as much money as Obama?
That Obama is beating her 2:1 in legal financing? (Kazakhstan doesn't count)

Obama is getting tons of money. That equals to more advertising air-time, a better ground game, etc.

How does this not benefit Obama? You can be sarcastic all you want, but Obama hasn't had to dip into his personal funds yet. Hillary has. She is clearly having a hard time raising money.

32. With all the jobs Hillary is offshoring, she's not getting much in return.

10. What's truly sad is that after our REVOLUTION against the Brits, partly to oust ROYALTY
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 05:51 PM by ShortnFiery
we've come back to the insanity of nepotism bestowing POWER AND POLITICAL PRIVILEGE. :puke: :thumbsdown:

It's truly horrific for me to consider THE DISTINCT POSSIBILITY that either "a Bush" or "a Clinton" may be sitting in The Oval Office from now until my grand-children's deaths. :thumbsdown:

Yeah, "ha ha" Bill Clinton eats a cheeseburger.

Who truly should give a damn about the disgusting exploits of our "political royal families" known as "The Clintons" OR "The Bushes?" :eyes:

22. Doesn't that make Bonobo a Hill Raiser???
I can see the press release now... Following our tidal wave of victory across the nation, the campaign today was inundated with so much money, we doubled the amount on hand...

24. Cancel the press release, they spent the cash on hand on a cake celebrating the money surge.
Expect a campaign e-mail asking for left over change!

17. I live in Virginia
and so far I haven't seen any Hillary tv ads..yet..it would be a shame if her campaign doesn't have enough money to run their tv ads this weekend. I really want to see what both have to offer and make my final decision.

29. UPDATE: Campaign Staffers Asked To Stop Eating For Campaign!
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 07:09 PM by Kerry2008
Staffers visibly upset at Bill Clinton for making the announcement to the campaign's senior staff while eating an entire submarine sandwich. Terry McAuliffe left a strategy meeting upset, and told reporters outside he was leaving the campaign and he wasn't sure when he'll be back. In the mean time, he's going to Dairy Queen. It's free Blizzard with your combo meal night.
