Clinton obviously doesn't have the hordes of screaming fans. There's more libido in Obama's support, for sure. She's gotten lots of money from the big bourgeoisie. So's he - e.g., Paul Tudor Jones & his Greenwich pals - but she hasn't gotten the smaller contribs he has. When the big bourgeoisie gives, they expect some returns on their investment, and because of their class, they generally get those returns. When 27-year-olds give $200 on the web, they can't expect the candidate to take their phone calls.
