The Obama Campaign is Operating in the Black : The Clinton and McCain Campaigns are in the Red : Leadership Begins BEFORE One Gets in the White House
Judging by the ability to raise money for the Presidential election campaign and consequently the capability to operate on a sound fiscal basis, Barack Obama has left Hillary Clinton and John McCain in the dust. See the Kenneth P. Vogel article at CBS at Cash-Strapped Clinton Fails To Pay Bills, where Vogel writes:
"Hillary Rodham Clinton’s cash-strapped presidential campaign has been putting off paying hundreds of bills for months....
... [because of] Clinton’s inability to keep up with the staggering fundraising pace set by her opponent for the Democratic presidential nomination, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama....
The presidential campaign of presumptive Republican nominee Arizona Sen. John McCain reported $4.3 million in debt at the end of February...."
This observer finds it hard to accept the argument that a candidate can not raise enough money for their own Presidential campaign but yet can try to claim to be the best future leader of the country. Leadership RESULTS do not begin at some magical date in the future, but rather are manifested - or not - quite clearly long before any votes are cast.
Obama is leading ... and McCain and Clinton are following.
