$36 MILLION?....Hillary Clinton spent $36 million for a Senate race in which she had essentially no competition? Compared to $14 million for the next most expensive race? Wow.

Was this because she really, really wanted to win by a landslide and figured anything under 65% of the vote would be humiliating? Did she have a bet with Dianne Feinstein? (If so, she won. Feinstein won her race with an anemic 59% of the vote.) Was she trying to scare off her 2008 competition by showing that she has so much money she can literally afford to throw it away?

Democrats don't understand ideal ways to allocate and spend money. That's why they're Democrats. This is just another manifestation of that undeniable trend.

Posted by: American Hawk on November 15, 2006 at 1:51 AM | PERMALINK

$36M and she gets *only* 65%... in a *blue* state??? (Yes, thank you, I know that much of upstate and Long Island are reliably red. Still) And in a year of overwhelming Republican losses?
No way can she be our champion in '08.
She'd lose to a hockey puck.

This is what it takes in this day and age.
A sad commentary on the state of our so-called Democracy.

I say; put the corporate money into a free speech zone - and let the individual voters speak with our representatives without professional lobbyists or other flimflammery.

Until we get rid of this assinine money=speech bullshit, we will never have a real democracy, and the Constitution is a mere stone on a beach, eroding more and more with each tidal wave of corporate cash.

Or was it a pathetic display of arrogance? Schoolyard bully mentality. Our political, military, & economic circumstances have been so severely compromised that we cant tolerate another Clinton administration. Tell me what the extreme difference is between Hillary & Joe Rubberman. Politics is war, when the other house is on fire, dont pull them out & commiserate with them when they started the fire.

Investigate, interrogate(sorry, no waterboarding), impeach, & incarcerate.

And go vociferously for the platform of decency that we so often hear the American public believes in. If it turns out they really dont, then at least we know.

Please, no more than 5 posts on Hilary per week.

Posted by: Frequency Kenneth on November 15, 2006 at 2:08 AM | PERMALINK

Not to mention that both Clinton and Spitzer (who also spent a ton of money) did very little to boost the fortunes of their many, highly qualified, excellent downticket Democratic compatriots.

With that kind of spending, that kind of media storm, and that kind of final margin for both the Senate seat and Governorship, one would expect that a larger number of Democratic candidates would have gotten closer in NY state, both in federal house elections and in state elections.

Poor showing, misuse of resources, and demonstration of particularly bad instincts and/or strategy.

Evan Bayh did a much better job, and he was not even running for re-election.

I/R/C/P/J -- you're totally right about the "$/speech" equation being the root of most evil -- but not all. The bigger problem -- because of its effects beyond the political world -- goes back at least to the Supreme Court's "Lochner" decision (1905 -- though my quick google search says it goes back further, to 1886, in "Santa Clara Co. v. Southern Pacific RR") -- making corporations legal "persons," with all the due-process, free-speech, and other rights attendant thereto. THAT truly is the root of much of the evil we find in our current corporatocracy.
I've been flogging that horse for years, and just found that there's an activist group working on it, of which I had not previously heard, though it seems a lotta people have. Guess I shoulda been paying attention:
http://reclaimdemocracy.org/
A part of this struggle that really should be politically feasible, especially these days, is convincing all those Republican-voting "libertarians" that they have as much, or more, to fear from Big Business as they do from Big Government.

Posted by: smartalek on November 15, 2006 at 2:13 AM | PERMALINK

AH, which President balanced the budget? And which President and Congress ran up record deficits from 2001-2006?

I guess you mean that Democrats spend most of the money they earn, while Republicans spend money they don't have and expect American taxpayers to make up the difference?

Posted by: JoshA on November 15, 2006 at 2:15 AM | PERMALINK

Kevin,
I think us here in PA have it great. Who spent $14 million? Was it Man-on-Dog? I know Santorum spent at least $10 million. What did he get for that? He hardly broke 40% in the polls for that. Can Hillary transfer any remaining money to her Presidental campaign? I do know one thing she is doing right now. She must be doing some serious voodoo on the Barack Obama and Al Gore dolls. If either one enter the race, she is in deep s--t.

"Santa Clara Co. v. Southern Pacific RR" is the landmark case that is most often cited. Talk about Judicial activists.

I sometimes look at the current "Evangelical Movement" as an organization that is tapping into people's unease at the corporate feudalism this nation has developed into. Only the "Evangelical Movement" gets its money tax-free, and largely cost-free (very little overhead in the Church biz - all you gotta do is put on a 2 hour show every Sunday, and pass the hat). People are afraid of the corporate behemoths, and what they're doing to our country, and the "Evangelical Movement" offers the gullible an illusion of power and influence over their government. This fear is somewhat justified, because they otherwise don't have any.

Thanks for the suggestion for reclaimdemocracy.org. I suspect SecularAnimist would also be interested.

Posted by: Impeach.Remove.Convict.Punish.Justice on November 15, 2006 at 2:19 AM | PERMALINK

Kevin,
I just checked the site. The next highest Dem on the list spent $14 million. Man-on-Dog spent $24 million. At least Hillary won her race. How sad is it that Santorum spent all that money and barely got 40% of the vote(Did he even get 40?). That is just absurd. He spent $24 million and his poll numbers never really moved. I still can't get over that.

Thom Hartmann's Unequal Protection gives a thorough treatment of corporate dominance.

My suggestion for a one line amendment to fix the legal fiction of 'corporate personhood'. Try it in your state:

"For all purposes under this constitution, 'person' shall be defined as a natural person."

A possibly significant factor in our invasion of Iraq maybe the fact that Sadaam was paying $20K to the families of suicide bombers.

I am constitutionaly devoid of anti-semitism. Hell, I didnt even know that Russ(a man I greatly admire) was Jewish til recently. I dont think about whether a name is Jewish or not. Summer of 70 in Madison , I was in a dorm that was almost all Jewish. I didnt know til they told me. They taught me so much about music & philosophy that being a rube from the midwest, some of it took decades to sink in. If there is a heaven, I hope to be with people that intelligent & tolerant.

That being said, any group(or country) that is preempted for serious criticism must , of necessity, have disproportionate influence.

I think there's a mistake here. I think she raised 36 million. I don't think she spent 36 million. I'm here in NYC and don't watch local TV stations, other than sports, so I may have missed an ad campaign, but if she had spent that kind of money I'm sure I would have noticed. I do listen to radio, and if she had spent that kind of money I can't believe I wouldn't have noticed. Kean and Menendez were constantly running ads. Hillary, nowhere near as much.

Posted by: jayackroyd on November 15, 2006 at 3:48 AM | PERMALINK

Well I take it back. Here's the FEC summary as of early October:

S0NY00188 CLINTON, HILLARY RODHAM Senate
New York SEN Democratic Party Incumbent

Total Receipts: $37,853,894
Transfers From Authorized Committees: $58,467
Individual Contributions: $35,622,256
Non-Party (e.g. PACs) or Other Committees: $1,439,697
Contributions from Party Committees $8,925
Candidate Contribution: $0
Candidate Loans: $0
Other Loans: $0

Total Disbursements: $29,450,302
Transfers to Authorized Committees: $0
Individual Refunds: $726,040
Non-Party (e.g. PACs) or Other Refunds: $23,500
Candidate Loan Repayments: $0
Other Loan Repayments: $0

---------------------------------------------

What did she spend 30 million dollars on? I've been poking around the FEC reporting site and haven't found a disbursements breakdown yet.

Posted by: jayackroyd on November 15, 2006 at 3:57 AM | PERMALINK

Did she really spend it all on herself? If so, she could have easily doubled the funding for the 50-state strategy and still won easily.

Posted by: Royko on November 15, 2006 at 4:46 AM | PERMALINK

What about the old Wall Street adage, "You have to spend money to make money?"

In New York if you don't spend money on what's important people think you're a putz.

Posted by: pj in jesusland on November 15, 2006 at 5:09 AM | PERMALINK

First, she probably spent some money locking up top-notch consultants that she will use in 2008 by giving them well paying, make-work contracts.
Second, I think if her campaign funnels money to PACs for her or other candidates, that counts as spending.

Posted by: Ronn Zealot on November 15, 2006 at 5:22 AM | PERMALINK

I'm too lazy to look it up, but HRC had an impressive number of donors. I'm guessing you'll find a lot of direct mail expenditures that were fundraising prospecting.

Her finance staff was probably told to spend a dollar to make .90 -- the end result is a lot of cash raised and spent, but most importantly, a large donor base for 08.

Posted by: cc in az on November 15, 2006 at 5:35 AM | PERMALINK

I would bet that a lot of the spending had the seconary purpose of setting up an organization for 2008. It also would not surprise me to find that it was a trail run of her campaign funding organization in preparation to the much greater demands that will be there in 2008. [Concur with cc in az here.] The people who have been fundraising aren't going home after the midterm election. They had a job waiting.

I guess HRC might as well pay them out of Senate campaign money as long as possible.

Posted by: Rick B on November 15, 2006 at 6:32 AM | PERMALINK

HC must have spent all of those big bucks on organizations and polling efforts because she did little advertising during the course of the campaign. I managed to see a few of her ads during the last week of the campaign and those were the first TV ads that I saw her run during the entire campaign. Ditto for advertising on the NYC radio stations. I heard more ads with Mike Bloomberg for Lieberman than I did by Hillary for her campaign. Media was not her biggest expense, not even in the NYC market. Maybe lots of bucks were going into preparing her mailing lists and donor contact list, telephone system for '08, and a new boffo campaign website to be unveiled next year. That backroom stuff can be ultra-expensive, as we see with 'Publican campaigns.

A possibly significant factor in the Iraqi invasion of the US maybe the fact that Bush was paying $200K to the families of professional killers (ie, American soldiers, pilots etc, who have, in total, killed many hundreds of thousands of Iraqis).

Posted by: ForMichael on November 15, 2006 at 7:13 AM | PERMALINK

Well those 36 million include everything, from '08 Build-up to fundraisers for other candidates, multi-million donations to the party, pac's, individual candidates, etc.

Somebody ought to make a breakdown what expenses were primarily for her re-election, and which were primarily for the good of the party, and which are stealth '08 costs. As long as that hasn't happened, how do we even know we're asking the right questions, let alone have the right anwsers?

Posted by: Ernst on November 15, 2006 at 8:01 AM | PERMALINK

Truly a shame about the tons of money required to run for office - The job becomes a perpetual fund raising operation.

Rahm Emmanuel wouldn't, and will not, even support anyone if they couldn't, and can not, show evidence of their fund raising abilities - We could have taken more seats, but for the lack of money being sent to the districts.

I presume she got the maximum number of votes available to her. There is a hardcore right that will never vote for her and I suspect it's pretty close to the 35% that she didn't get.

She could have spent millions less or a billion more and the vote would have been the same.

Posted by: tripoley on November 15, 2006 at 9:22 AM | PERMALINK

perhaps she was spending it to build Harold Ickes' voterfile, the Catalist?

Posted by: shai on November 15, 2006 at 9:22 AM | PERMALINK

I live in NYC, and I can tell you she certainly didn't spend it on NYC television ads. We didn't see any HRC ads until quite late, and then only occasionally. Several orders of magnitude less than we saw of the Menendez/Kean race. And we never got any direct mail from her; I never saw any billboards, subway ads, anything like that. So unless she ran one helluva lot of ads upstate, that money didn't go to advertising but went to other kinds of expenditures. I'm guessing that includes what she spent on helping other candidates.

Posted by: Glenn on November 15, 2006 at 9:32 AM | PERMALINK

Wow - she spent $34 million on her campaign? She must have some other reason for wanting to advertise her image broadly. Maybe she's going to run for President in '08? Just a thought.

Posted by: brooksfoe on November 15, 2006 at 9:39 AM | PERMALINK

Those expenditures are broken out and are dwarfed by direct disbursements.

She didn't spend 36 million on her senate race. She spent 36 million on the first leg of her presidential campaign.

Posted by: mjk on November 15, 2006 at 10:14 AM | PERMALINK

She spent 36 million on the first leg of her presidential campaign.

Okay, and what did that consist of? That's a lot of money with no media expenditures. She hasn't set up an exploratory committee, so she can't legally be spending it on a presidential campaign.

Posted by: jayackroyd on November 15, 2006 at 10:22 AM | PERMALINK

something is funny about those numbers.

No way did she spend anywhere close to $30 million on media buys.

Maybe Drum can go back to his days as CalPundit when he actually did research instead of spending 5 minutes to link and run.

Posted by: DR on November 15, 2006 at 10:29 AM | PERMALINK

Glenn,
She didn't run many ads upstate either. Plus the media market up here is cheap.

Was this because she really, really wanted to win by a landslide and figured anything under 65% of the vote would be humiliating?

Candidates that have no competition spend lots of money (if at all) to (1) generate turnout of their supporters and thereby benefit other candidates of their party, and (2) to be seen doing (1) so as to build credibility as a "team player" by party faithful and insiders to build support from key supporters for future attempts at higher office.

This isn't exactly rocket science.

I can just see the headline: Hillary: Ready to Do Anything to be President.

There's a completely different set of rules for her in American politics. Things that a McCain or a Biden could get away with, like joking about killing himself if the Democrats take over or joking about people who work at 7-11, would be front page news, run on endless loops 24x7 on all the news shows and would end up being the subject of 12,000-word magazine stories with breathless headlines like Hillary-Too Candid to be President?

You have to analyze and judge her separate from everybody else-if she hadn't spent $36 mil, that would be a story as well. Hillary-Too Cheap to be President?

Posted by: Pale Rider on November 15, 2006 at 10:51 AM | PERMALINK

Hillary is on record as saying that the Democratic party needs to build extra-governmental infrastructure. Is it possible she spent some of that money doing stuff like that? Spending money that will benefit liberals and Democrats? Or to boost turnout and help Democrats down-ticket, to show she's a team player?

Or is it possible that she didn't want her contributors to feel like she was hoarding her cash for a presidential run?

Possibly she spent a lot of media money to gain experience with it, too.

Posted by: Doctor Jay on November 15, 2006 at 10:53 AM | PERMALINK

cmdicely has a point. We're still not sure what Hillary spent the money on, but how many people turned out to vote for Hillary and wound up voting for John Hall as well?

Posted by: brooksfoe on November 15, 2006 at 10:53 AM | PERMALINK

1) generate turnout of their supporters and thereby benefit other candidates of their party

Except I don't know of any evidence that she did that either. I don't remember seeing any direct mail. There was no Hillary's army prominently getting out the vote.

I looked at the FEC site but can't find a detailed expenditures report. The myDD guys know how to do that. I'll see if they know.

Posted by: jayackroyd on November 15, 2006 at 11:06 AM | PERMALINK

Did she even know how much her campaign was spending? Maybe her CM went overboard, in order to look good, and Hil wasn't looking at the books that closely, since she knew she had plenty of loot. If that's the case--and I admit it's a bit of a stretch--it's another of my 17 reasons she shouldn't live at 1600 Pennsylvania in '09...

Posted by: Doozer on November 15, 2006 at 11:16 AM | PERMALINK

I don't care if Hillary spent a lot of money. She raised the money; she had a right to spend it.

Frankly, this seems like such a feeble charge that I wonder if there's some sort of anti-Hillary movement among the Dems.

Posted by: ex-liberal on November 15, 2006 at 11:30 AM | PERMALINK

Kevin: to answer your question. I'll bet she spent a lot of money on signs, banners, bumperstickers and the like that all say Hillary... but no year or prospective office. A certain John Kerry pulled this exact same trick not long ago...

Posted by: plunge on November 15, 2006 at 11:32 AM | PERMALINK

Perfectly. Candidates don't raise money for a specific race; they raise money for their candidacies. There aren't really that many limits on what they can do with it.

And what was all that clapping by Hillary about? - Would a real regular guy, like I am from Philly, even though I live on Martha's Vineyard and hang with the swells, walk on to the stage for a winning celebration and join the crowd in clapping for me?

I, simply hate her, hate, hate, hate her because whenever she comes on my show, she won't let me over and out talk her. Plus, she makes far more sense.

But, did I tell you about working for Tip O'Neill? Why, Tim Russert and I are really just your regular guys sitting around your local bar having a brewski.

I for one welcome our sekkkrit Jooooish overlords.

Also, with all the work that the International Joooowish Conspiracy (IJC) is doing, they must have assistants to help them secretly run the world. As you claim to be an expert, does the International Jewish Conspiracy offer good health benefits to their civil servants? What about eyecare? Is there a good pension plan? How many times salary do they give in free life insurance? (I mean, fooling the Aryan goyim can be risky work, and I want to make sure my family is cared for if I get taken out by some skinhead hopped up on meth.) Is the job security good, or are the IJC starting to outsource their strategic conspiracy work to Infosys in Banglalore?

If I want to get hired by the IJC, does it help to have a graduate degree like an MCA (Masters in Conspiracy Administration) like those elitist bastards in the Knights Templar require, or does the IJC do on-the-job training?

Thanks for the help.

As Willie Nelson said about his free-spending younger days, she was throwin' it away with both hands.

IIRC, though I can't find a good source right now, Hillary raised quite a bit money for other candidates than for her own campaign, and campaigned for dozens of other candidates in several other states this election cycle.

I live and work in the New York metropolitan area.
Unless Hillary was blowing gobs and gobs of money upstate, where campaign costs would probably equate to half of the cost of buying campaigning downstate, I would highly question the accuracy of the financial report citing that she spent $36 million on her campaign. I saw very few of her political commercials and even fewer of those lawn signs supporting her (or her opponent, John Spencer, for that matter.)

I reckon that either a) the costs include all the travel expenses of flying her and her entourage across the country campaigning for other candidates (she rarely had any pblic campaign stops in this area) or b) the costs reflects the amount she spent over a very long period of time leading up to the race.

There's something very strange in Denmark.

If she helped elect or reelect any Democratic candidate by using her money, so be it - Money well spent.

And, yes, there are strange things going on in Denmark, espeically their becoming a Rubber Stamp for us at the UN - See recent veto.

So let's see: people donated money to Hillary's campaign, and she... used it? String her up, I say!

Embarrassed by the truth?

Why did you delete this.

George Bush is a religious JEW and, in the end, is only interested in Jews/Israel.

This drives his every move.

Here are 30 or so pictures of GW Bush, and cohorts, having fun with rabbis, etc,....

Bush is a Jew.

http://linux.coconia.net/politics/bush-jews-pix.htm (just the photos)

I like those photos of Bush wearing a Yarmulke (skullcap),... and praying at the Wailing Wall,...

Bush is a Jew.

And you are a dumbass

I greatly appreciate the fact that the NYT lists Lieberman on the Republican side on their chart.
