You are such a putz.

First of all, why do you care about Democrat party finances?

Secondly, did you even read the link? They canceled an event in Carolina at a Speedway and moved it to downtown Charlotte. They said it wasn't about money. 

The story mentioned that the local convention planners were having trouble getting as much money as they wanted, but it was because the democratic party had installed a ban on getting money dirrectly from corporations (of course, the republican party has no such policy).

I think you are going to flip out if Obama is re-elected. You are already getting creepy about democrats and conspiracies.

Does this mean the Poodle can't afford her perms?

There is a rumor she is being booted after November.  That's a shame, every time we get a DNC chair we "like" they get ousted.

Oh the memories.

Where'd you hear the rumor?

Where'd you hear the rumor?

At my Vast Right Wing Conspiracy meeting last night.

You try to play it off but that wouldn't be surprising.  You and your two hamsters meeting in your tree-house laughing maniacally.

The DNC changes chairs every two to four years. Nothing to see here.

Impressive, but it must be expensive.  I've got chairs which have been in the family for over a century.

But these are nice chairs and made to be used indoors.

What does Citizens United have to do with the dems not having enough money? Is it since its "open the floodgates" on campaign donations all the Obama/dem supporters are giving their money to Romney?

[Gaspar]

They went through the numbers this morning and President Obama has raised almost twice as much as Romney for his campaign, and the DNC has raised an equal amount to the RNC.  The difference is that both the Obama campaign and the DNC are spending at breakneck speed.  The size of the Obama campaign organization is enormous with multiple layers of administration and overlapping marketing efforts.

It seems he's running his campaign the same way he runs the government.  Perhaps he can spend his way out of debt?

The contrast is that Romney is running his campaign like a business, and even though he doesn't have the privilege of free transpiration, security and hundreds of fundraisers on the tax payer dime, he is amassing significant cash reserves.

The really funny part, is that when you look at the cash disbursements for the Obama campaign you find that he is outsourcing campaign call centers to Pacific East, a company with an office in Washington, but all of their call centers are in Canada, Manilla, and the Philippines.  I was under the impression that he was criticizing Romney for outsourcing jobs?

Are the Dems just having the convention to fund raise? I think they already know who their candidate will be.

He has selective memory on outsourcing.  Just like when Senate Democrats had a cerebral hemorrhage when they found out how many jobs were being created in China with porkulus funds.

They can call Romney "etch-a-sketch" all they want for his flip-flopping views but I fail to see how Obama's blatant hypocrisy on so many different issues is any different.

They need lots of cash for a nice coronation ceremony.
