Campaign Wores

I am given to understand that while Kamala cools her jets in Hawaii, Failed VP Tim Walz is asking donors to help puck up the tab for vendors that haven't been paid and for campaign workers who said that they were stiffed because the campaign is over. 

Wait, what?  These folks thought they would be paid by the campaign until January 1st?  Why?  The campaign was over at 8:00 pm local when the polls closed.  At that point the campaign is over.  They should have seen that coming. Turn off the lights, lock the doors, it's over.

I ran a campaign once, and there was a little paperwork that had to be done, post-election, but for all intents and purposes, the campaign is over when the polls close.  Honestly, the campaign workers should have seen this coming, whether they won or lost.  In this case, they lost.  Campaign is over.  Go Home.
