I, along with some 3,100 other Clinton supporters, just completed a conference call with the Senator, Campaign Chairman, Terry McAuliffe, and some of the fundraising staff. (Sorry - I didn't catch all the names.) A couple of quick things: All said that Clinton was outspent by about 3:1 in Pennsylvania Since 10pm last night, Clinton … Continue reading HRC conference call: $10 million raised since last night!

A former candidate, I've learned a lot about politics, both good and bad. I'd prefer more of the former and a lot less of the latter and I'm trying to do my part!
