Money Doesn't Grow On Trees: But It Does Win Primary Elections

Candidates from both sides of the aisle are worried that a weak showing in first quarter fundraising reports, due by Saturday at midnight. They have fundraisers scheduled right up to the last minute. With so many candidates in the race, creative ways of finding money in unusual places is going to become commonplace; but in the end, there is only so much money to go around and the one with the least money will be the ones dropping out of the race early. We've already seen Tom Vilsack bow out of the race in debt. A debt that Hillary Clinton is helping to pay for, by the way. No money woes from the Clinton campaign I guess. It will be interesting to see how fundraising numbers match up to poll numbers, but keep repeating the mantra It's Still Early. Everyone keeps saying that, but no one has ever seen a race like the 2008, who knows what early is?
