Oh dear, I suspect this will only make those supporters even more mad....

Disclosure reports show Clinton still deeply in debt

Quote:
The report also shows Clinton was only able to raise $2 million in the month of July - down from close to $3 million in June. By comparison, Barack Obama raised over $50 million for his White House bid in the same time period.

The report comes as some high-profile Clinton backers have expressed disappointment Obama has not made more of an effort to help his onetime rival retire her campaign debt.

“He has provided her with a pittance compared to what the Clintons have given Obama,” prominent Clinton backer Lynn Forrester told the Times of London. “Her debt could have been cleared within 10 days. It’s ungracious.”
(a) Wonder how much those glossy attack ads cost?
(b) She seems to have quite a few establishment "high profile backers". Surely they could muster together more than a combined $2 million between them?
(c) "The Times of London"? Who calls it that apart from Americans? (unlike the NYT etc, it really is simply called The Times - our country has the granddaddy of original titles, so don't forget it!!)
