Clinton still sounds like she has $ problems to me... [View All]

To quash a rumor that operatives had resorted to working free, campaign chair Terry McAuliffe told reporters last week: "All staff are 100% being paid. We now have money."

But Ms. Williams is working as a volunteer. So are several other recent additions, such as Steve Richetti, who was deputy chief of staff in the Clinton White House.

Mr. Patricof, the co-finance chairman, is brainstorming for new fund-raising ideas, having already raised the maximum legal amounts from hundreds of donors. Last weekend, he emailed finance director Jonathan Mantz with a suggestion to dial for dollars via video conference. The campaign is considering it. Mr. Patricof has even pulled out all his Christmas cards with their envelopes (for their addresses) as a reminder of people he can ask to donate to Mrs. Clinton.

Another idea from the campaign: Host several private events -- at supporters' apartments all located in a single Manhattan high-rise -- in one night, so Mrs. Clinton can appear simply by riding the elevator.
