Hillary Clinton's cash-poor presidential campaign (as compared to rival Barack Obama's flush account) is increasingly using the neglect of Florida and Michigan voters as a fundraising appeal.
"Not big on quitting,'' reads one e-mail, alluding to some calls for her to give up. "Only 130 delegates separate Hillary from Senator Obama -- and that's not counting Florida and Michigan voters...There's no better way to tell Hillary that you support her staying in than to make a contribution to her campaign."
Another appeal reads: "The people of Michigan and Florida must have a voice in selecting our nominee for president...Click here to join me in showing our support for seating Florida and Michigan delegates at the convention."
this is shameless on the part of the Clinton campaign
