Get The Money Upfront

Get the money upfront is the #1 rule of campaign vendors.

Noted: We learned this when we did a (very) brief stint at a direct mail firm in '01.

And while Team Clinton's actions do show a cash flow problem (no matter what their spin is), and Clinton's behavior is low rent (check out what Ben Smith found about one of the unpaid vendors), Team Clinton's actions aren't that unusual in the political world.

Sweet, huh?
