The Clinton campaign just told donors that they have now raised $7.5 million online in the first week of February, $6.4 million of it in the last 30 hours -- that is, since the reports emerged that Hillary Clinton had to loan herself $5 million.
In fact, they are spinning it is a good thing for their fundraising operation that their candidate needed to prop up the operation with her personal wealth.
Campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe told donors that the sentiment he's been hearing from supporters is, "Well, I didn't know you needed money, I thought you had all the money you need. With Hillary putting in money, I am here for you."
Obama is still ahead in the post-Super Tuesday money race. His campaign says he's raised $7.2 million since then.
AW, IT MUST HURT KNOWING SHE'S KEEPING UP WITH YOUR MESSIANIC CANDIDATE.
that's right, she's still the underdog. obama has the momentum, the delegates, the most states won... if hillary pulls out a victory, it'll be incredible!!
obama is the front-runner and i'm not sure how comfortable he is with that title. last time he had it, he lost NH.
She cannot handle her campaign economy, yet she should be trusted with MY economy? rrrrriiiiggghhhhhttttttttt

If Hillary can't manage her campaign budget then how can she expect to manage the national budget?
Shouldn't experience allow her to predict and avoid these types of cash flow problems?
Interesting is that the Clinton campaign had to refund the most money contributed in 2007 to their questionable sources. She did not, however, return the most amount of special interest and lobbyist money given to any other candidate in 2007, almost $900,000.00!
The way she is running (losing) her campaign and now squandered dollars, is the true indication of how she would run (lose) the country. We are seeing how BO has come from nowhere, with nothing and just keeps going strong financially. Is this how he will run (win) the nomination and country?
If HRC can't keep her own house in order, how can I expect her to keep mine and everyone else's????
Bottom Line:
Like all of you. I know that health care is the most critical, and important issue facing the American people. Now, and in the coming elections. And like the vast majority of the American people, I want HR 676 (Medicare For All) passed into law NOW! "Single payer, Tax Supported, Not For Profit, True Universal Health Care" free for all as a right. Like every other developed country in the world has. See: http://www.house.gov/conyers/news_hr676.htm
HR 676:
For church goers: less money to insur. companies and more to the church- lots more.
Srs on Medicare: save way over $100/wk. Because no more medigap, long term care & dental insur. needed. No more drug bills.
But if we the American people fail to bring enough pressure on our current politicians to get HR 676 passed into law before the elections. We will have to identify, and replace all the politicians standing in the way of passage of HR 676. And, I think the best first place to start is with the politicians that blocked the bipartisan SCHIP bills for the kids. Passed by congress four times.
But what about the President. It was Bush after all that blocked the bipartisan SCHIP bill passed by congress to assure more health coverage for Americas kids. So which of the presidential hopefuls do I think will be most supportive of implementing the demand of the majority of the American people to have HR 676 (Medicare For All) passed into law immediately!
We have some very fine presidential candidates who would make good presidents. But none of the top Presidential candidates directly support HR 676, the only true Universal Health Care plan. So I am supporting Hillary Clinton. She is the only top candidate that has ever actually fought for universal health care before.
I have enormous admiration, and respect for Hillary Clinton. She fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds back in 1993. To prevent this disastrous health care crisis that is now devastating the American people, and America. She fought so hard for the American people that she risk almost completely destroying her husbands presidency. I haven't forgotten her heroic effort. If any Presidential hopeful for universal health care deserves my support, it's her.
Also, if we the American people fail to bring enough pressure on our government to give us HR 676 which we all so desperately need NOW! Then we will need the most skilled politician we can get on our side to broker the best health care plan for the American people that we can get. Though it will be less than we need, and less than we deserve. The politician I think to best do this is Hillary Clinton. The Clinton's are probably the most skilled politicians in American history.
The insurance industry, and medical industry that has been ripping you off, and killing you has given Hillary Clinton so much money because they fear her. They have also given Barack Obama so much money because they fear Hillary Clinton. They think they can manipulate Barack Obama against the best interest of the American people better than they can manipulate Hillary Clinton. There is no race issue with Hillary Clinton. The Clinton's are the poster family for how African Americans want white people to be towards African Americans.
As always, African Americans are suffering, and dieing in this health care crisis at a much higher rate than any other group in America. The last time there was any significant drop in the African American death rate was when Bill Clinton was president.
My fellow Americans, you are dieing needlessly at an astounding rate. In higher numbers than any other people in the developed world. Rich, and poor a like. Insured, and uninsured. Young, and old. Men, women, children, and babies. And we the American people must stop it. And fix it NOW! Keep Fighting!!! Never! give up hope. There are millions of lives at stake. Bless you all... You are doing great!
Hilarity's "eight years" of experience of being the first lady and she never once publicly distinguished herself from her man with regards to his failed economic policies of NAFTA, letting China into the WTO.
What clarity, what foresight, what cowardice.
