We are not involved with PUMAPAC. I don't know where they are in terms of raising money, but I think they were, let's say, overly optimistic about the money they raised to retire Hillary's debt, and that put question marks in some people's mind as to whether we should affiliate with them at all.It looks like she made the right call. Chief Pumas Darragh Murphy and Will Bower have each claimed to have raised $7 to $10 million towards retiring Hillary's debt.
Hillary Clinton whittled down her presidential campaign debt by $1.3 million in July, and presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama chipped in to help.Here's PUMA's claim:
Ironically, PUMA's inflated claims might have depressed donations to Hillary's campaign, with loyal supporters figuring the debt was paid off.we tracked down the Hillary Clinton for President FEC filing for July contributions. Check out the "contributions by date" info for the beginning of the month, when the PUMA/Just Say No Deal coalition was allegedly pulling in six to ten million dollars for Hillary. I've included the entire July 4th weekend:
DATE SUM July 01, 2008 30,979.56 July 02, 2008 19,624.72 July 03, 2008 9,839.16 July 04, 2008 6,446.36 July 05, 2008 15,919.73 July 06, 2008 2,792.90 That's a grand total of $85,602.43 for July 1st through July 6th, not even remotely close to the PUMAs' "conservative" estimate of $6 million dollars (it's 1.4% of that claim, 0.86% of the $10 million figure) and that's not even accounting for the fact that all of the donations during that time period didn't come from self-identified PUMAs.
