I asked Claire McCaskill to start working on lowering expectations for the Pennsylvania Primary. We have a couple of weeks to go before the election and I am closing the gap between me and Hillary Clinton, but not enough to matter.
Expectations are a wonderful thing. If you expect to win big and you win little, then expectations are not met. If you expect to lose big, and lose by a little, then expectations are exceeded. It’s funny how that works.
Claire is very good at setting expectations the way we expect. She comes across as sincere and authoritative, she’s partisan but everyone can identify with her, so she has unmistakable credibility. I like that in a woman. She’s also blonde and white.
I raised over $55-million in February, so there was disappointment when I only raised $40-million in March. Senator Clinton raised a mere $20-million, barely half what she raised in February. The expectation for raising more money was higher, so neither of us met expectations.
What happened? The press thinks it’s fallout from Pastor Wright’s racist comments. How does that explain Hillary’s drop in fundraising?
