Clinton brings in the cash

With no game-changing fallout from Hillary Clinton's Pennsylvania's primary win on the delegate or popular vote counts, the biggest sign of any momentum shift is the money.
Clinton's campaign estimated that it has raised $10 million since the polls closed Tuesday night -- by far her biggest one-day cash haul and nearly half of the total she brought in all of last month.
She has been falling further and further behind Barack Obama in fund-raising, enabling him to outspend her by more than 2-to-1 in Pennsylvania.
At the end of March, Clinton reported having about $9 million in the bank, but $10 million in debt. Obama reported he had more than $40 million on hand at the start of April.



Hillary has been saying for months, after every primary contest, how much cash she is raising. Either she is lying ( most likely ), or she has squandered her precious capital on Penn and her other cronies.
im so happyfor hillary. my prayers were answered last night.i keep them going big time. obama isnt even ripe yet. but the maturity hillary shows,plus the experience,the amazing knowledge she exhibits. im proud of her.
Obama twinkies know nothing about elections: you can't LIE about how much money you've raised: it's public record.
Of course, Democrats now see Obama cannot win a general election, hence the money. The Republicans would roast Obama alive and eat him for breakfast.
If the superdelegates are meant to follow the will of the people, when are Kennedy and Kerry going to submit to the will of the people of Massachusetts and declare for the winner there, Clinton? No, this is the same liberal elite that lost the White House for you for 28 of the last 40 years. Care for 8 or 16 more?
Positive points for Clinton against McCain:
Clinton
1. Experience
2. Politician
3. Has women votes which are majority of electoral votes and 25% of which might switch to McCain if Obama is nominee.
4. Known commodity
5. Moderate in her views
6. Has majority of white man
7. Tested and proved being the friend of Israel.
8. Can win the big states across various population sectors.
9. Clinton would have the majority of the popular vote after must counted votes in Michigan and Florida before or at the democratic convention.
Negative points for Obama:
1. Inexperience
2. Far left in his views
3. Unknown commodity
4. Race
5. Can not carry the big states with the majority of white man and woman.
6. Associations with the dangerous people of radical views.
7. Questionable views and solutions on the problems in the Middle East
OB is going to have trouble in NC. Obama Twinkies ( I am stealing shamelessly from Catherine) because there is primary for NC Governor and the Republican party is going air ads with OB's spiritual guide and mentor Reverend. Wright.
Precursor to GE.
Now OB can blame Republicans for not doing so well in NC.
Actually, McCain asked the Republican Party Chairman in not to do it but she rejected saying, people have right to know. Check NYT.
IT'S TIME AMERICA:
It’s time for everyone to face the truth. Barack Obama has no real chance of winning the national election in November at this time. His crushing defeat in Pennsylvania makes that fact crystal clear. His best, and only real chance of winning in November is on a ticket with Hillary Clinton as her VP.
Hillary Clinton seemed almost somber at her victory speech. As if part of her was hoping Obama could have defeated her. And proved he had some chance of winning against the republican attack machine, and their unlimited money, and resources. In all honesty. I felt some of that too.
But it is absolutely essential that the democrats take back the Whitehouse in November. America, and the American people are in a very desperate condition now. And the whole World has been doing all that they can to help keep us propped up.
Hillary Clinton say’s that the heat, and decisions in the Whitehouse are much tougher than the ones on the campaign trail. But I think Mr. Obama faces a test of whether he has what it takes to be a commander and chief by facing the difficult facts, and the truth before him. And by doing what is best for the American people by dropping out of the race, and offering his whole hearted assistance to Hillary Clinton to help her take back the Whitehouse for the American people, and the World.
Mr. Obama is a great speaker. And I am confident he can explain to the American people the need, and wisdom of such a personal sacrifice for them. It should be clear to everyone by now that Hillary Clinton is fighting her heart out for the American people. She has known for a long time that Mr. Obama can not win this November. You have to remember that the Clinton’s have won the Whitehouse twice before. They know what it takes.
If Mr. Obama fails his test of commander and chief we can only hope that Hillary Clinton can continue her heroic fight for the American people. And that she prevails. She will need all the continual support and help we can give her. She may fight like a superhuman. But she is only human.

Has anyone noticed Hillary has put on a lot of weight?
Actually Jack Smith, if you read this you'll understand how Obama actually has a better chance at beating McCain in the fall.

You're just falling for the same nonsense that ABC has fallen for, spewing out campaign rhetoric. States like Michigan, New York, California, Massachusetts will NOT go for McCain. On the other hand, states like Virginia, Colorado, New Mexico, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota will go for Obama but probably or definitely NOT Clinton. The electoral map is terrible for Clinton. Her base is deep, but his base is WIDE open. He can also put some southern states in play, such as Georgia and Lousiana (read the article.)
Clinton people are stupid.
