As long as we're on the subject of hopeless presidential "candidates" and their fundraising, we'll also pass along the news that Marianne Williamson, the only person running for the Democratic nomination that you've ever heard of (besides Joe Biden, of course) is awash in red ink.
To put a finer point on it, Williamson raised $821,000 in Q3 but spent $825,000. Somehow, although she was just $4,000 in the hole over that 3-month period, her campaign's debt load increased from $270,000 to $347,000. Perhaps they have very-high-interest credit cards. Or loans from loan sharks. In terms of cash on hand, Williamson is down to $101,000. She has also told staffers that while she gave over $200,000 to her campaign, she can't keep doing that, and running for president is interfering with her primary mission of writing and selling spiritual books. It's also worth noting that since Robert F. Kennedy Jr. became an independent, Williamson's polling numbers haven't changed. Clearly, she's not going to pick up any "I'm voting for a Democrat who isn't Joe Biden" voters.
We presume this is the second-to-last item we will write about Williamson. The last will be when she officially drops out of the race. When will that happen? We see three possibilities:
We would guess these are all about equally likely. (Z)
