Clinton Lagging on Fundraising Front Page 1 of 3 Los Angeles Times: Clinton lagging on fundraising front Page 1 of 3 http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/politics/la-na-campaign4apr04,1,316562.story From the Los Angeles Times Clinton lagging on fundraising front She takes in $20 million, but Obama raises twice as much, complicating her nomination bid. By Michael Finnegan and Dan Morain Los Angeles Times Staff Writers April 4, 2008 Hillary Rodham Clinton's financial troubles returned to the forefront of the Democrats' White House marathon on Thursday as Barack Obama reported raising $40 million last month -- double what the New York senator collected. Clinton's $20-million take would be staggering in any other race. But she faces a rival who has shattered fundraising records, and this latest benchmark highlights Clinton's broader difficulties in catching up to the Illinois senator in the protracted nomination fight. She has reported millions in debts and unpaid bills. Drawing mainly on earnings from her best-seller, "Living History," Clinton has lent her campaign $5 million to keep it from going broke. She cannot come close to matching Obama in spending on TV ads and mailers in contests over the next two months in eight more states, along with Guam and Puerto Rico. Clinton, who wrapped up a 24-hour California fundraising tour Thursday with stops in San Francisco, Pasadena and Beverly Hills, faces further strains in meeting day-to-day expenses -- everything from charter planes and buses to stage equipment for campaign rallies. "It's stunningly expensive," said Jim Jordan, who ran John F. Kerry's campaign for part of the 2004 primary season. "It's hundreds of thousands of dollars a day." For all that, Clinton's lag in fundraising is unlikely to drive her from the race, analysts say. But it is making her climb to the nomination that much tougher. For starters, it can deter potential donors from giving her money by creating the impression that her campaign is a lost cause. It also bolsters Obama's argument to superdelegates -- the party and elected officials likely to settle the nomination -- that he would raise more money than Clinton for the general-election battle against Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the Republican nominee-in-waiting. "One of the things we consider is electability, and fundraising has a lot to do with electability," said Edward Espinoza, an undecided Long Beach superdelegate. "It's sad, but it's true. I think both of these candidates have proven they can raise enormous sums of cash." So far, Obama has collected $230 million to $190 million for Clinton. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/politics/la-na-campaign4apr04,1,813349,print.st... 4/4/2008 Los Angeles Times: Clinton lagging on fundraising front Page 2 of 3 McCain, who faces a dismal fundraising climate for Republicans, has had less success. While he has not yet reported numbers for March, he had raised $60 million by the end of February. By some measures, Clinton's $190 million understates her trouble keeping up with Obama. It includes the $5-million personal loan and $10 million shifted from her Senate campaign. Also inflating her total, she has made it a practice to raise money -- upward of $22 million -- that she can spend only if she wins the nomination. Clinton has also returned $850,000 to donors whose money was gathered by Norman Hsu, a financier who faces federal fraud charges. From the start, Clinton has relied more than Obama on big-money donors, who gave the $2,300 maximum and are legally barred from contributing more. The $40 million that Obama raised last month came from 442,000 donors, 218,000 of whom were new contributors, according to the campaign. Their average donation was $96. As for Clinton's debt, her report for March is not due until April 20. But as of the end of February, her campaign was $8.7 million in arrears. She owed $2.5 million to the consulting firm co-founded by her chief strategist, Mark Penn; $807,000 to MSHC, an ad firm; $466,000 to the media firm of Mandy Grunwald; and $427,000 to a charter aircraft company. Smaller debts included $228,000 to Aetna and $62,744 to Blue Cross for healthcare premiums (a spokesman said they were later paid), and tens of thousands of dollars to universities where Clinton has campaigned. Cal State Northridge is awaiting a $13,611 payment from Clinton's campaign for security and other expenses at an event that she held there Jan. 17, a university spokesman said. Clinton's money troubles could be worse. She is well known to voters, and her campaign is drawing intense media coverage, which compensates somewhat for her inability to match Obama in ad spending. "There's just a huge amount of free press in this -- probably more than I've ever seen before," said G. Terry Madonna, a political scientist at Franklin & Marshall College in Pennsylvania. "It's front- page stuff every day." Clinton has tried to turn Obama's money edge to her advantage. She has made it part of her pitch to donors and used it to cast herself as an underdog, a posture that worked well for her in New Hampshire and Ohio. Speaking to reporters on Thursday in Burbank, where she appeared on NBC's "Tonight Show with Jay Leno," Clinton said: "I'm used to being outspent." Chris Lehane, a Democratic strategist who worked in the Clinton White House, said her fundraising might not reach Obama's "astronomical level" but was still better than McCain's -- and certainly enough for key contests ahead in such states as Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Indiana. Hollywood mogul Haim Saban, one of her biggest fundraisers, echoed that argument, borrowing a http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/politics/la-na-campaign4apr04,1,813349,print.st... 4/4/2008 Los Angeles Times: Clinton lagging on fundraising front Page 3 of 3 phrase that former President Bill Clinton used this week in urging Democrats to stop fretting about the campaign's extended length: "Chill out." Hillary Clinton, Saban wrote in an e-mail, "will have all the money she needs to stay competitive." michael.finnegan@ latimes.com [email protected] If you want other stories on this topic, search the Archives at latimes.com/archives.

  • Not a Question of If, but When
    PROLOGUE NOT A QUESTION OF IF, BUT WHEN IN THE INFORMATION AGE, THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE, TWO KINDS OF INSTITUTIONS, two kinds of organizations: those who have been hit with a crisis and those who haven’t been around very long. Whether you are a multinational corporation such as BP responding to oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico or the neighborhood restaurant dealing with a bad Yelp review, confronting a crisis is not a question of if but of when. And of those who have looked a great crisis squarely in the eye, there are similarly two kinds of people, two kinds of institutions, two kinds of organizations: Those who were able to be masters of their disasters, and those who failed. The landscape is dotted with a few winners but crowded with many losers who simply did not have what it took to survive the crisis. For every Bill Clinton—who left office with the highest presidential job approval rating in history despite having been impeached—there are dis- graced former politicians like Gary Hart and John Edwards. For every Goldman Sachs—which, despite being widely portrayed in the wake of the 2008 financial meltdown as a pack of real-life Gordon Gekkos sav- agely trouncing all in their path in the service of the bottom line, has contin- ued to have great success—there are companies like Lehman Brothers, Enron, and Arthur Andersen, consigned to the ash heap of Wall Street. For every franchise athlete like Yankee’s star Alex Rodriguez—who in 2009 went from being the spring training goat of ridicule over revelations about his use of performance-enhancing drugs to being the 2009 World Se- ries hero—there are disgraced former superstars like Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire.

  • The Candidates
    The Candidates Family Background Bush Gore Career Highlights Bush Gore Personality and Character Bush Gore Political Communication Lab., Stanford University Family Background USA Today June 15, 2000; Page 1A Not in Their Fathers' Images Bush, Gore Apply Lessons Learned From Losses By SUSAN PAGE WASHINGTON -- George W. Bush and Al Gore share a reverence for their famous fathers, one a former president who led the Gulf War, the other a three-term Southern senator who fought for civil rights and against the Vietnam War. The presidential candidates share something else: a determination to avoid missteps that brought both fathers repudiation at the polls in their final elections. The younger Bush's insistence on relying on a trio of longtime and intensely loyal aides -- despite grumbling by GOP insiders that the group is too insular -- reflects his outrage at what he saw as disloyalty during President Bush's re-election campaign in 1992. He complained that high- powered staffers were putting their own agendas first, friends and associates say. Some of those close to the younger Gore trace his willingness to go on the attack to lessons he learned from the above-the-fray stance that his father took in 1970. Then-senator Albert Gore Sr., D-Tenn., refused to dignify what he saw as scurrilous attacks on his character with a response. The approach of Father's Day on Sunday underscores the historic nature of this campaign, as two sons of accomplished politicians face one Political Communication Lab., Stanford University another. Their contest reveals not only the candidates' personalities and priorities but also the influences of watching their famous fathers, both in victory and in defeat.

    REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE RESEARCH BRIEFING1 BOOK JUNE 12, 2015 HITTING THE (CAMPAIGN) RESET BUTTON This isn’t the first campaign reset for Hillary Clinton. From plummeting poll numbers to a wave of scandals, Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign is off to a rocky start. Her team is hoping for a reset, a relaunch, to distract from the bad headlines. But this isn’t the first time. Clinton’s Hard Choices book tour last summer was meant to reintro- duce Clinton to the American public and prime America for her 2016 campaign. Instead, before her book even went on sale, Clinton’s “dead broke” comment set the tone for the widely panned book tour. Then in April came her official campaign announcement. Before long, it too was being panned—for being staged, for being out-of-touch, and not to mention for being tone deaf about the scandals surround- ing her family’s foundation and her tenure at the State Department. If past is prologue, this latest campaign reset won’t help Hillary Clinton. Here’s a look at the scandals and stumbles of Hillary Clinton’s past few months… 1 ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE Hillary’s staged events reveal her campaign’s inauthenticity.
