Even sent an article to Axelrod. No answer. I've also been putting it out wherever I can on the various comments threads. If you've got any ideas, I'm open them. I gather from goggling this that the Obama campaign tried this in the summer of 2007 and immediately dropped it as too xenophobic. I don't see it that way; it's about Clinton lying, but I can see their point. I got a nice Indian very politely saying that to me over at Jed Report. Angela,

We know his fees were in the hundreds of thousands per month....<br/><br/>They've got a new thing on the website where donations are geared to specific items like tv airtime etc. You choose what you'd like to contribute to, but the numbers are not climbing very fast.<br/><br/>I have a hunch her campaign is winding down because of low donations. Many of her supporters will not be happy about her income. Hillary has used the poor, victimized woman to generate sympathy and financial support. Now that these women - many of modest means - see that Hillary is incredibly wealthy, they'll be reluctant to donate. I think of that 40 year old who made $14 per hour, and skipped lunches to donate $25. I think if that was me I'd feel sort of foolish. Hey, do you think this is a money issue?
