Free from the constraints of public financing, Mr. Obama’s budget for the rest of the year could exceed $300 million, campaign and party officials have said. But his fund-raising slowed in May, when the campaign raised about $22 million — almost $10 million less than in April and a large decline from the record amounts he was taking in earlier this year. The decline was evidence that he might have to invest substantial time at fund-raising to match the levels he set in the first quarter this year.
Leaving aside George Soros, much of the money he has raised has come from people who were basically "AnybodyButHillary." They were, to snip a phrase from "Fried Green Tomatoes," older, have insurance and money...but having got what they wanted, a certain amount of buyer's remorse may be entering. Said another way. They weren't for Hussein, they were against Hillary. Such people aren't highly motivated to vote or give money.
And while many Hillary supporters may in turn support Hussein, they will not be particularly anxious to give money to the man who beat them.
The Husseinheads are younger and have less money. Plus outrageous enthusiasm for an empty suit is hard to maintain. Even when you're 17. Onward to the next thrill and cause to die for.
So Hussein may have got what he wanted. I just wonder if he will get what he wants.
