We smell a rat in Hillary land
Monday, November 20th, 2006Somebody definitely needs to “follow the money” in regards to Hillary’s 2006 NY Senate re-election campaign. How on earth could she have actually spent nearly $30 million on a campaign that was never even close? Something stinks here, and it ain’t the East River!
For the $30 million or more she spent on her re-election campaign, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton scored a 36-point victory over an obscure opponent, built a new set of contributors and began assembling the nuts and bolts she would need to run a presidential campaign, the NY TIMES is planning to report on Tuesday.
She also purchased more than $13,000 worth of flowers and funneled tens of thousands of dollars a month to consultants and aides.
The result was to deplete what had been a formidable war chests in politics down to a level that leaves her with little financial advantage over her potential rivals for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination — and perhaps even trailing some of them.
