David Kurtz reported that the misnamed American Leadership Council isn't spending any money on Clinton's behalf in West Virginia. And, he raises a good point:
But it will be interesting to see whether the indy groups who have been supporting Hillary continue to plow money into her race. We'll keep an eye out.Keep an eye out for EMILY's List (a group that raises money for pro-choice Democratic women). As John noted below, Ellen Malcolm, who heads the group, has an op-ed in today's Washington Post urging Clinton to fight on because, you know, the only reason people are asking her to concede is because she's a woman (our female readers were none too happy with that analysis, you can read their comments here). This week, women won the gubernatorial primaries in Indiana and North Carolina. Christine Gregoire has a tough re-election battle in Washington State. The money EMILY's List is now spending on Hillary's already-lost race is money that can't be spent on a viable woman candidate.
What about the AFSCME? Going to be really instructive if that group decides to keep using its resources on the presidential race, especially in Oregon. Their state affiliate in Oregon supports Obama.
The American Leadership Council is just a bunch of rich Clinton sycophants who are spending for their own egos -- while lining the pockets of pro-Clinton consultants.
Just seems at this point, putting egos aside (which is very difficult to do in politics), seems like every dollar spent on behalf of Hillary Clinton's failed campaign is not only a waste, it's money that can't be spent to defeat McCain.
