Hillary Bets Big On Kentuckys Democratic Derby
Clinton hopes to leave Bernie Sanders in the dust in Tuesdays primary. But he remains a tough foe.
Her campaign has rolled out new TV ads and scheduled eight stops in two days leading up to the primary, including one Sunday at a black church here in Louisville with popular local Democrats, U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth and Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer.

The Clinton campaign is returning to the airwaves after a brief absence, buying roughly $175,000 worth of television advertising in Kentucky to air in the next week, according to two media buyers tracking the reservations.

That's not "a lot of money" in a campaign.

(30,058 posts)4. She has the money available and she is still raising money, I would worry about Sanders
fund raising going to a drip. I think her staff is still working and getting ready for November.

That won't buy a starter home in my town, and it's not a great town!

Cheapskate.

(934 posts)9. Clinton didn't waste her money
chartering a Delta 767 jet for a pretend meeting with the Pope.
Bet Sanders wishes he had that money back.
