(3,649 posts)Can't run a campaign without money. No ads, no organizing, no travel. Biden should be fine for the first few states that vote, but Super Tuesday will be difficult for him if he can't muster the funds to run a campaign in larger states, especially California.

(9,116 posts)Campaign contributions are strongly correlated with electoral victory. That might be changing, but I wouldn't be so confident as to say it doesn't determine anything. It might. It might not. We'll see.

(34,857 posts)We'll see if it works out. I do not believe he's best equipped to handle a long, drawn out 2008 or 2016 style race. My guess is he's hoping to take the Kerry approach and put this away by Super Tuesday.
Very risky gambit but it's worked in the past.

(67,782 posts)....and reached the $2800 maximum before the second quarter ended. She now can't contribute any more this year.

(42,862 posts)I'm sure that the credit card processor was pleased to handle all those transactions. Even with the discounted amount that processors offer for "micro" transactions, they still get SOMETHING... and that means that the candidate doesn't get it.
In any case, whatever her reasons for doing it that way, it certainly doesn't make good sense to me.

(67,782 posts)....(800 $3 contributions will do that) and inflate the number of contributions (again, 800 $3 contributions will do that)
