If obama becomes the dem nominee he'll need $500 million dollars
to run a campaign. If he performs as we hope, there will be no
primary and all his dollars can go to the general.
but make no mistake my kos friends...the repukes are smelling blood
in the water.
They saw how close they got to both house and senate control.
And they aren't going to give up. I imagine they will be out
getting secret donors right now to rev up for 2012.
So instead of waiting and crying when we run out of money for our
candidates...and as hard and dispicable it is...the rules of
fundraising have changed and either we realize this or we
lose big in 2012. The repukes are right now lining up secret
big cash donors. The dems need to figure out that to play in this
game they have to get in the mud and fightbased on the new rules
of the battle.
If I was Dem strategists I would start right now going into every
business/government/etc and getting money committments right now
that we'll need to fight in 2012.
Yes...its horrible. But the battle rules have changed. As
abhorrent as I am about it...we either fight or die.
Hopefully someone atthe top is realizing this right now.
If not we face a losing 2012.
