[question everything]

Facing a Wednesday deadline, a handful of Democratic White House hopefuls are racing against time — and odds — to qualify, trying desperately to meet the donor targets as well as reaching 2% in four approved public opinion polls.

New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is pumping millions into online and TV advertising. Billionaire climate change activist Tom Steyer, a late entry to the race, has also spent $3.8 million on Facebook ads trying to boost his name recognition and rapidly add donors.

Others simply gave up — or dropped out.

Might have been posted here already. What caught my eye was the millions spent by Gillibrand. Yes, I don't think she has any supporters here. But besides her being the first to go after Franken, what is she campaigning on? Yes, the vague "women issue." There are six women here, including the "guru" Williamson. So what, exactly is she promoting? Oh, she went after Biden for an opinion from 40 years ago, or something. Figured that if Harris could (with a short lived jump in the polls) why not her?

I kinda remember someone, a constituent? who early posted that it was not about Franken but about other issues. But I still wonder.
