CNN

What about the Hsu money that had to be included in this 3rd quarter 27 million? And are there any more like this she's supposed to be returning? Why hasn't anyone mentioned that???
And why does the media say she stole the spotlight from Obama when Obama has been leading her in primary dollars and donors. I guess it all boils down to who has more planted publicity writers.

Oh no, one of those Freeper nut cases is now posting on this board!!!! Ralph, do you really believe the nonsense that you people spout? Please give us a break and post this filth in Rush or O'Reilly's site.

ATTENTION: ALL HILLARY FANS

Please answer me this.

In national polls, Hillary has a 48% "disapproval rating". That leaves 52% of the voting public. That means that everyone who "likes" or has "no opinion" on Hillary would have to vote for her.

How can she win?

By the way, Obama has a 28% disapproval rating.

Go ahead waste your vote, and you will all be saying President Guilliani.

Alot of people here have selective memory. CNN did have the fact that Obama outraised clinton – as the top story when it happened. Alot of bitter Obama fans out there.

I wish people to watch Democrats Debate, she is smarter than any candidate there. That's why people support her, it($27m) makes sense. Hillary's interview with Tim and George was the highest quality time in my life.

To Rex of Houghton:

You said that "Ann Coulter and Bush both know that republicans will win against Clinton and that is why they are supportin her."

Your statement is incorrect. Based on various polls by different organizations:

a) Most american voters in the next election will choose a democrat nominee over a republican norminee.

b) Hillary has the highest poll standing from dem voters and she also beats the leading republican candidate (Giuliani) if the election is held today.

Another republican, Gingrich, who withdrew his candidacy a few days ago, also predicted that Hillary will have 80% chance of becoming the next president. This is the only thing I agree with Gingrich. Reasons:

a) Hillary has raised the most money of all candidates, dem or republicans, and still has the most firing power (cash on hand) left for her campaigns.

b) She has an effective and efficient campaign machine, and a proven experienced strategist and advisor (Bill Clinton) who will deflect all attacks thrown at her.

c) She is experienced, smart and has heart towards public service.

Hillary 08!

I see Hillary will get it,the political machine is in the works,if she wants, she can raise 100 million..ya wait and see.If she is our President I will accept it.But if Bill R.notches it up and gets the support and a statement to this fact on his website,he will bring the troops home now,every single one of them, not no 2013 like obama and hrc said.

"I believe it would be enormously unwise for the Bush administration to start
another war before ending this tragic war we're in today and it does sound
like the administration is ramping up. You can just see it,"BR

I start to find more people using this word to describe people (hypocrites).

>I just love how the Obama supporters make $7 million more raised seem like nothing at all. They would be head over heels making all sort of craziness if Obama could even raise $1 million more than Hillary.

>I've had enough of these Obama hypocrites.

Our country needs real change, not cheap talk.

Time to go back to Peace and Prosperity. Down with Bush Clans; War Mongers!!!

millions for hillary...millions for obama... why aren't they trying to gain the nomination through credibility, experience, character, patriotism and their track record? oh I forgot, money makes the world go 'round

a) She is more effective, & efficient in money, in getting her message across to voters; you have said that exactly right!!! you go Hillary Girl... she is very efficient at taking care money and where our money goes...she would be a good banker.she is the only one who can bring back a surplus and get the troops out safely but as she said 2013 she has to wait until she gets in there under that white house ya never know what ynder the rug either..i know i feel for any who has to go into that mess ..its totally messed up..

How much more money can the special interest groups provide? Worst yet, how much of our tax dollars will be provided back after 08? Think real hard folks....Its not her money now and it won't be her money later!

I do not trust her numbers. In fact I do not trust anything she says. What did she do with Mr. Hsu's money, which is close to a million? Given the 30 years' Clinton machine, if she does not outraise other candidates by 200%, the result would be a disappointment and thus embarassment to her.

Sister, can you spare a dime?

We had one Clinton as President, We Do Not Need the Other One!!! The First One Proved He Could Not Be Trusted.
He Cost This Country, (NAFTA). The Only People That NAFTA Helped was Mexicans. Now We have Bush Who Will Not Close Our Boarders. Put The Marines on Our Boaeders, They Need The Practice!!

To Rex of Houghton,
You said Ann Coulter and Bush supported Hillary because they know that the republicans will win against Hillary (instead of Obama).

Your position is not supported by the various polls at all. The polls say that MOST american voters in the next general election will vote for

(a) a democratic nominee instead of a republican nominee;

(b) Hillary over any republican candidate, including Giuliani.

Another republican, Gingrich, says Hillary has 80% of winning the next election.

With so much rasied by Hillary vs other republican candidate, Hillary's presidential is very promising.

Well, I have changed my mind. As a democrat I will not vote for her or Obama. I've thought about it and in good conscience I can't. I want a strong man like Richardson.

==============================================

Laurinda,
Welcome back from the dark side! I like Obama, but at least you've seen the light with regard to the Hildabeast!

CNN WHAT A PHONY COMPANY YOU PEOPLE ARE. WHEN A REPUBLICAN RAISES THAT KIND OF $ YOU ARE ALL OVER THEM ABOUT WHO THE SOLD OUT TO
LIKE DRUG COMPAMIES BUT WITH CLINTONS YOU DON'T MENTION A WORD ABOUT WHERE SHE RAISES THE MONEY. OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL YOU MIGHT ACT LIKE AND AMERICAN SUPPORTER WHICH YOU ARE NOT.

I agree with TJ Williams, LA, CA 1000%.
OBAMA is the true and genuine candidate. Just go to one of his rallies and listen!
Hillary is just another Republican in disguise! Wonder how much of the 27mil is from PAC and other special interest groups???? A Clinton Presidency would just be an extension of the "Bush" one. Hey Clintonians – is that what you really want? Think about it????

Well as they have always said, you either love her or you hate her. Looking at this board there is a lot of love and hate. I personally like Hillary, yes sometimes she may not be the most personable individual, but look at the Bozo in office right now.

Hillary is tough and very well versed in politics, more so than the other candidates. It's time this country had a woman president and I would want a woman who was tough,didn't take crap from anyone, intelligent, and knows what they are doing. Hillary is that individual and woman to get the job done and done right, which is why she will get my vote.

Here's a poll I'd like to see...if HRC wins the nomination will Obama supporters vote for her in the general; and vice versa.

Don't care about you any more. You can raise 37 billion and I could not care less. When you endorsed Lieberman's Iran resolution you proved to me your ultimate loyality lies with Israel. I believe you'd put American soldiers and sailors in harms way to protect Israel. I believe this is a big reason you all lined up behind Bush to go into Iraq. Think ahead. If Bush attacks Iran, and I believe he will, you will be in concert with him again and I swear your name will never be spoken of favorably in my presence again. America's well being first is my issue. Iran poses no threat to America. Iran is not arming militia. Learn the facts. Big east coast Jewish money and Dick Cheney are pushing hard to get American's to engage Iran. And Bush will with the help of Hillary, Lieberman, Jon Kyl & 73 other senators. They will say and do say this is not a precursor to attack Iran but that is another lie and Joe Lieberman would say anything to get American's killing Iranians. He was a leader of the senate support for war with Iraq for the same exact reason and he going to go it again. Cheney probably sent him a big box of Havana cigars for making this happen and paving the way to the next war.

I guess all is forgotten and/or forgiven for the scandals her and her husband were involved in (not the Monica thing either) back during his reign. Ever wonder why they are fighting so hard to keep their records and transcripts, of her husbands presidency, secret? What's her hidden agenda? Helping the USA? I seriously doubt it.

I love it when all you little Obama freaks get all ticked off when Hillary does better and then try to put it off as CNN is giving her extended coverage. When Barack Hussein Obama outraised her it was no different, Obama headlined. Stop saying CNN is trying to hype the Clinton camp. The Clinton campaign is doing great, ACCEPT IT. She will be the nominee. I know Obama preaches like he's the Mesiah and that he's going to change the world. He's not! Clinton has the strength, experience in both domestic and foreign policy, as well as the true leadership skills our president needs.

HILLARY CLINTON 2008!!!!!!

For A. Thomas, regarding your comment about Ann Coulter and Bush praising Hillary and further asking 'how can you argue with success?'

Republicans need Clinton to win the democratic nomination.

Clinton will bring every conservative out to vote against her ensuring the republicans a White House victory again. If Obama wins the democrat nomination there is concern because Obama sounds reasonable and responsible to conservatives as well as liberals—Obama will take voters who have in the past voted republican. Ann Coulter and Bush both know that republicans will win against Clinton and that is why they are supporting her. As you said, “how can you argue with success?”

to Truth Teller:

Thanks for your response. I didn't know he was making a policy address today.

I bet no one will really cover it. What's the big news/surprise with Hillary getting all that money anyway? She still takes from lobbyists. Let's see who she's getting the money from. More fugitives? China?

What has she done for NY as a Senator? Not much that I recall. Might as well have Schumer run. He seems to at least have done more for NY for the amount of time each have been Senator.

Clinton is coming in ahead of Obama this quarter for fund raising but the monetary bragging lacks value without the number of persons who actually contributed. When you compare dollars to votes, hundreds of thousands of poor Americans giving their $10.00 to Obama carries more weight then a handful of millionaires giving a handout to Clinton.

Others are talking about the polls. Let’s not talk about the polls—these polling agencies are the same ones who said Kerry and Gore would beat Bush—these polling agencies lack the credibility to forecast reality.

You are going to continue to see conservatives like Gingrich and Bush and Coulter and others give "boosts" to Hillary Clinton.

No point in saying it over and over again. She is "politics as usual", and even though she can shore up an audience with speeches berating Republicans and Conservatives, that in itself does not make for a quality leader.

She has already stated it will take both her terms to get the troops pulled from Iraq. We all know the conflict is ending, it's now just a money pit for the lobbyists and contractors, of which I bet she's getting healthy contributions.

People, don't be deceived. If you are Democrat and want change, look at Obama or Richardson as a leader. If you are Republican, look at McCain or Paul.

Choose and vote wisely people.

Well, I have changed my mind. As a democrat I will not vote for her or Obama. I've thought about it and in good conscience I can't. I want a strong man like Richardson.

The fact of the matter is that the positive press for Hillary and those jumping on her bandwagon even from those that previously opposed her is going to become more prevelant as "pro government" officials realize that the best choice may not be republican but at least it's the more conservative choice. The fact is that Obama represents change. Not change for the sake of changing but well thought out, intelligent, planned change that this country drastically needs. It is time to stray from the over beaten path that is getting us nowhere fast. Quit settling for the status quo and challenge the system. It's time we decide as empowered individuals to decide the path to our futures. Perhaps unlike anytime before we have another chance now!

It's funny how when Barack made more money than Hillary last quarter, CNN only wrote a small article on it. Now that Hillary has beat Obama this quarter, it's the top story. Umph.

We certainly don't need another Clinton in the White House. The Clinton's should do the people a favor and just ride off into the sunset.

Ann Coulter praisng Hillary? Bush & Ginggrich did too.

How can you argue with success?

Posted By Terry, El Paso, TX : October 2, 2007 2:04 pm

Terry – while we likely disagree politically, what I respect about your post is your authenticity. I believe you. It's this "authenticity" which brings political advesaries to the table of dialogue.

For many of us conservatives – we reject the Clinton approach (Bill and Hillary) because we perceive them to be FAKE. Everything is calculated. Every decision, laugh, denial, attack is weighed for the result: Will it get them elected. HENCE – why Obama is getting so much attention. I would (as a conservative) hands-down vote for Obama any day over Hillary on this one issue alone: authenticity.

If Hillary were to win the White House, yes we would have another 4 years of strife and division.

It is important to note that, even Hillary raised the largest amount of money in the last 3 quarters, she has spent the least amount of money, on a % basis of all democrat candidates. Meanings:

a) She is more effective, & efficient in money, in getting her message across to voters; and

b) She has the most fire power left for her nomination campaign.

I see see the Hillary tsunami coming....LOL (yes, belly laugh like Hillary)

I want to see how Stephen Colbert spins this, at least his character is much more realistic in reporting the entire story, even if he has a perfect unbreakable standing on issues.

Besides, Huckabee was on his program and his polls have risen, and was named a contender. Let's see what else this "win" spin will get.

Besides, I win all the time, doesn't mean I'm a great presidential canditate.

It will be interesting to see, down the road, how much of this money raised came from crooks, convicts, and Norman Hsu types.

As to how much money she raises, the real "acid test" is can she be elected in a general election? Even many democrats worry that she cannot. A NY Times article on Sunday compared her to Al Gore in 2000....how he had everything going for him and STILL blew it!

She will be the BIGGEST TARGET EVER in a campaign. Their will never be another candidate that is so divisive as her. They have dragged "slick willy" out a lot earlier than expected because she is already having to pull out all the stops in the campaign cycle.

I was watching Ann Coulter on the "Today" show this morning offering praise for Hillary Clinton on foreign policy. Kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it?

What a beautiful picture, Hillary. Who are you mad at?

Hillary is going to be the Democrat nominee ok people? There's no sense in fighting it...She will be the Democrat in 2008...Barack Obama is a literate black person. But he is too naive and EXPERIENCED! Ummm...Like I said, Hillary will win, because that's what Karl Rove told me he wants to happen, and Karl is always right!

She really is the best candidate, I had donated to Obama's camp, but I had problems with his campaign staff which is a reflection of him.....go Hillary!

It is a shame that all this money is going to political campaigns when there are children sick and starving all over this country and the world.

you people are sickening. This whole election makes me want to puke. I rank the candidates from best to worst almost exactly the OPPOSITE of most money to least money. Clinton, Guiliani, Romney...I would gnaw my own hand off before I vote for any of them. I'm not a big fan of Obama, but since the candidates that I do like don't have a chance, I have to go with him as he is the least of all the evils.

Should we be looking at this as 'he/she with the most money is most in the pocket of big business'? I'm happy Obama got less.

Hillary is being supported because she can "slam" the GOP and "slam" Obama.

Do you people REALLY read what you are posting?

How ignorant do you have to be to be misled like this?

She has even publically said it will take the full expent of both her terms to bring home the troops from Iraq.

She relies on lobbyist and coprorate support, since she has a hard time getting approval from the general public, except those who are easily swayed by the media.

She is a tool of the DNP and GOP, and she is being promoted because they know she will continue politics as usual.

I'd take a real leader like Obama, Richardson, Giuliani, or even McCain before her.

I'm sick of corruption

Must be a slow news day at CNN...

Are you meaning to tell me that I should consider Hilary as a serious contender for President because her masterful organization is dialed in and can raise $23MM in a quarter?

Wow, you guys have it all wrong. In my view, big money is what's wrong... the cost of running for office, just about any office above town council, is out of line with reality.

Sell your soul to the devil.

I for one am not positively impressed by one's campaigns ability to raise massive amounts of money. I am hardened and cynical as a result of life's travails.

EXACTLY!!! How much of this money camer from her husband and all of his cronies and all the other lieing, cheating, power-hungry people that are her supporters?

Dan in Tx, I agree 100%. See you this weekend.

A couple of days ago, I saw Obama supporters bragging about the 20 million raised by him. Now, they are mad that Hillary out raised Obama, and tried to ridicule her and her campaign!

Their blood is boiling. The crowd has envy and success blinds them all.

The donors and polls agree with she will and can do for the country.

Yes, Hillary will be the next president of USA!

HMMM!! Did shrellary get that money from another fugitive...WOW!!! What a leader....How come Shrillary always waited to see what everybody comes up with first, then come with something different....Hey Shrillary, how did you feel when you saw and heard that Obama had gathered a crowd over 24,000 in your own backyard...Answer that Shrillary...

Actually Hillary needs to thank Bill. She is using him far more heavily than she planned.

Truth Teller
I'm a Republican – thank you for posting that – its a good read – Obama is alittle left leaning – but if Giuliani is not running – and Obama is the nominee....he will get my vote – I like what he has to say.

HRC totals include the million dollar from HSU and the 260 donors she has to refund that is nearly $2 million she will have to substract by 10/15.

Isn't it scarry we can think about electing our next President by how much money they raise rather than who can serve this country and protect America and will guide the U.S. instead of turning it into a socialistic Nation

I heard Soros gave 26.5 million in the third quarter – that explains that! Why doesn't she take this money (hers) and give it to the poor....??

CNN please come up with better pictures of our future Madam President Clinton!

Danny G,

So you rather have a candidate that will tell you that a year from now he/she would allow Israel to send missles into Iran as part of a pre-empty effort to take their nuclear capabilities, but you do however have a problem with her voting to declare the revolutionary guard "an extremist/terrorist" group that is been provend are directly involved in killing our soldiers… are you sure you watched?

Yes, I'm sure I watched. The question was not whether the candidate (as president) would allow Israel to launch missiles...
It was: Do you feel Israel would be justified launching a strike if they felt threatened? The term is either pre-emptive or pre-emptory, not pre-empty!

Senator Clinton demurred, Richardson gave a REAL response, whether I agree with his answer or not I KNOW WHERE HE STANDS!

This is at least one 'hypothetical' you would hope a future president of this country has considered due to its likelihood of actually happening. She should have at least wondered, "If this happens, here are the following parameters I use to either agree with what they have done or condemn it. Based on A,B and C it is justified, based on X,Y or Z it would not be."

She either hasn't thought about it or refuses to give us the answer, neither is acceptable.

As for the fact that she supported the "NON_BINDING" resolution to call another sovereign nation's army a terrorist group was stupid. The Iranians could care less about semantic distinctions of binding or non-binding, what they see is "America says our army is a terrorist organization" period. Why do you think they listed OUR Army and the CIA as terrorist organizations shortly after this "non-binding" resolution. Did we provoke their declaration? I'm not a betting man, but if I were, that's where my money would be. So, as far as the good senator raising our standing in the world with other nations, this vote doesn't show it.

I'm glad you are happy with your vote, that is afterall, how our country works. And I agree with you that we as a nation should be more united.

Have a great day,

If she doesn't need all this money in the primary, since she seems to be the default candidate at this point... can she use it all in the general election?

If so, it looks like the Republicans will be at a funding disadvantage for the first time in history, particularly since the GOP can't rely on the Marlboros and Joe Camels of the world donating their mega-million to them anymore.

Campaign contributions are like bribery, a felony act, it's NOT a matter of praise and honor! I'm tired of news about who "raised" how much – I want to hear IDEAS and discuss VISIONS ! Please!

How much of this money is from the FEDERAL LOBBYISTS???? ONly adetailed breakdown of the amount collected would give a clear picture. Obama would have been way ahead if he shamelessly collected money from the F...lobbyists.

If I were Hillary Clinton I would fire my financial director who had mislead me and the public by making almost 30% financial forecast error within two days. How can she tolerate this and trust them??? It really bothers me.

Zack in NJ

She waited to release her numbers today in hopes that she would overshadow a real story. Today is the 5th anniversary of the now famous speeck given by Barack Obama opposing an impending war with Iraq. I think it is fitting to post it here. Check out the predictions that have come to pass. The brilliance and insight of Barack Obama will cause him to prevail and win the primary.

Good afternoon. Let me begin by saying that although this has been billed as an anti-war rally, I stand before you as someone who is not opposed to war in all circumstances.

My grandfather signed up for a war the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, fought in Patton’s army. He saw the dead and dying across the fields of Europe; he heard the stories of fellow troops who first entered Auschwitz and Treblinka. He fought in the name of a larger freedom, part of that arsenal of democracy that triumphed over evil, and he did not fight in vain.

I don’t oppose all wars.

After September 11th, after witnessing the carnage and destruction, the dust and the tears, I supported this Administration’s pledge to hunt down and root out those who would slaughter innocents in the name of intolerance, and I would willingly take up arms myself to prevent such a tragedy from happening again.

I don’t oppose all wars. And I know that in this crowd today, there is no shortage of patriots, or of patriotism. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other arm-chair, weekend warriors in this Administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne.

What I am opposed to is the attempt by political hacks like Karl Rove to distract us from a rise in the uninsured, a rise in the poverty rate, a drop in the median income – to distract us from corporate scandals and a stock market that has just gone through the worst month since the Great Depression.

That’s what I’m opposed to. A dumb war. A rash war. A war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics.

Now let me be clear – I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power. He has repeatedly defied UN resolutions, thwarted UN inspection teams, developed chemical and biological weapons, and coveted nuclear capacity.

He’s a bad guy. The world, and the Iraqi people, would be better off without him.

But I also know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States, or to his neighbors, that the Iraqi economy is in shambles, that the Iraqi military a fraction of its former strength, and that in concert with the international community he can be contained until, in the way of all petty dictators, he falls away into the dustbin of history.

I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a US occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences. I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of al-Qaeda.

I am not opposed to all wars. I’m opposed to dumb wars.

So for those of us who seek a more just and secure world for our children, let us send a clear message to the president today. You want a fight, President Bush? Let’s finish the fight with Bin Laden and al-Qaeda, through effective, coordinated intelligence, and a shutting down of the financial networks that support terrorism, and a homeland security program that involves more than color-coded warnings.

You want a fight, President Bush? Let’s fight to make sure that the UN inspectors can do their work, and that we vigorously enforce a non-proliferation treaty, and that former enemies and current allies like Russia safeguard and ultimately eliminate their stores of nuclear material, and that nations like Pakistan and India never use the terrible weapons already in their possession, and that the arms merchants in our own country stop feeding the countless wars that rage across the globe.

You want a fight, President Bush? Let’s fight to make sure our so-called allies in the Middle East, the Saudis and the Egyptians, stop oppressing their own people, and suppressing dissent, and tolerating corruption and inequality, and mismanaging their economies so that their youth grow up without education, without prospects, without hope, the ready recruits of terrorist cells.

You want a fight, President Bush? Let’s fight to wean ourselves off Middle East oil, through an energy policy that doesn’t simply serve the interests of Exxon and Mobil.

Those are the battles that we need to fight. Those are the battles that we willingly join. The battles against ignorance and intolerance. Corruption and greed. Poverty and despair.

The consequences of war are dire, the sacrifices immeasurable. We may have occasion in our lifetime to once again rise up in defense of our freedom, and pay the wages of war. But we ought not – we will not – travel down that hellish path blindly. Nor should we allow those who would march off and pay the ultimate sacrifice, who would prove the full measure of devotion with their blood, to make such an awful sacrifice in vain.

I can't believe that the only reason why most people support Obama is because he wasn't in the Senate to vote on a war that he probably would have voted on if you look at his war funding record. YES HILLARY VOTED for the war–get over it!! Let's look at this scenario Obama supporters. If Hillary would not have voted for the war what would Obama have to run on?

Obama always retreats back to the same old "I was againts the war" position each time someone calls him on the fact that he consistently makes foreign policy blunders like saying we should go into a Muslim SOVEREIGN NUCLEAR WEAPONS HOLDING Pakistan guns blazing to find UBL. Or saying that our troops are performing illegal air raids killing civilians in Afghanistan which there has been no evidence to support that ever happening.

I wish Obama supporters would wake up and realize that it is them that are being hoodwinked by the right wing. Truthfully they know that if Hillary gets the Democratic nomination their chances of winning the Presidency are very slim. She has them scared. If you think the slime job that they did and are preparing to do on Hillary is bad, wait to you see what they have in store for Obama if he wins.

The bottom line is people really don't know why they don't like Hillary. They are just holding onto all the old slime that the Republicans smeared her with when her and her husband were in the White House. She is not that bad of a person or a candidate. I really wish that people would stop holding her vote to go into Iraq against her because no matter what she voted for only PRESIDENT BUSH HAD THE AUTHORITY to authorize enforcement of any resolution.

Contributions to Shrillary remind me of this paraphrase of a Mark Knopfler / Dire Straits lyric: "Money for nothing, but this chick's not free."

Does anybody know what percentage of Sen. Obama's $19M came from "small donors"?

Danny G. Boca Raton, FL.

Regardless of what must be done about Iran in the future, I'd just prefer that Mrs. Clinton not give George Bush another blank check to use whatever means Dick Cheney thinks necessary.

And I think it's incredibly ironic that one would claim Clinton, one of the most divisive individuals in politics.. (next to Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly) as a possible unifier. If Clinton is nominated it will be one of the ugliest partisan general election campaigns in U.S. history, and it will leave the nation more divided than 2000.

At least we know Obama has a chance to carry a large number of those American voters who are only slightly right of the center.

QUESTION: Would you care if your candidate were receiving illegal funds? (ie China)

TRANSPARENCY IS NEEDED

Who is giving money? How much are they giving? How are they giving (special interest fundraisers, etc)?

Until our political system mandates transparency of ALL candidates' donations – the wealthy elite will contiue buying elections.

Hillary isn't raising these dollars. The "Clinton Machine", DNC, Special Interests, Hollywood Elite, Wealthy Socialists (Soros & co) – they are buying this election. In 2004 (Soros & Co) gave $78 million towards electing democrat John Kerry for Presidency ... more than the US Government's federal matching funds.

Keep cheering, though – those controlling the strings enjoy a good show.

Dan in TX.

You are wrong about Sen. Clinton effectively voting to authorize war in Iran. She voted for a non-binding resolution asking the Bush Administration to brand the Quds Force as a terrorist organization (which they've already "effectively" done). There is no authorization of force in the Resolution. But if Sen. Obama was against this, he should've stayed in the Senate and voted thusly instead of RUNNING LIKE A RABBIT.

Please....not another Clinton in the White House. This woman is NOT a leader. She followed the pack in giving Bush the authority to invade Iraq, and now she appears to be just as willing to invade Iran. If people continue to ignore these things and she gets the nomination, you will rue the day – she WON'T WIN! There is no way Hillary wins the general. Her nomination will incite the Republican base in a way never seen before. She is BAD for the Democrats and BAD for our country. And, by the way, how much of that money was from lobbyists and PAC's?

The REAL headline is: “BARACK OBAMA CONTINUES TO OUTPACE HILLARY CLINTON IN PRIMARY DOLLARS THROUGH THE 3RD QUARTER, DESPITE HILLARY CLINTON’S $10 MILLION TRANSFER FROM HER 2006 SENATE CAMPAIGN EARLIER THIS YEAR".

Obama Primary Dollars: $75 Million
Clinton Primary Dollars: $62 Million

GO OBAMA!!!

I LOVE HILLARY! GO GET EM, HILLARY!

Finally, we need a REAL man in the White House

Chip,
Did she answer any questions? All I saw was a big tap-dance. No clear plans or visions and anything that required an impromptu response was met with the "I don't deal in hypoteticals" response

So you rather have a candidate that will tell you that a year from now he/she would allow Israel to send missles into Iran as part of a pre-empty effort to take their nuclear capabilities, but you do however have a problem with her voting to declare the revolutionary guard "an extremist/terrorist" group that is been provend are directly involved in killing our soldiers... are you sure you watched? if you don't like her, fine you are entitled to, but make sure that your candidate will do the right things for America and that he/she will work to unite us, not to divide us. I believe she will do this, I believe she sees beyond blue and red, Sen. Obama wants a revolution, but as a result of it I'm afraid he is not going to unite but further divide us into it... vote for whoever you want, just vote! I'm happy with my vote, you be happy with yours, in the end we should all be a little more united and if the next president does that we will all be a little better for it.

cnn u mislead the people with your headlines.

Keep it going Hillary !

Voting for Hillary during a general election would be like voting for John Kerry. Same ol' just a different day. Last time I voted for Kerry. This time it will probably be 3rd party over her if Obama doesn't make it.

And I noticed how Clinton waited until AFTER everyone else releases their #'s to release hers.

Personally, I don't understand how any American can be a strong Hillary Clinton supporter. That's like being a strong Al Gore supporter in the 2000 Primary. Or a strong John Kerry supporter in the 2004 primary. Who are these poor people who love the old politics SO much?

If George Bush attacks Iran, Hillary's campaign should be dissolved. She made an error in judgement on the biggest issue in her time in the Senate.. and when given another opportunity, she has made the SAME mistake.

She's either willfully ignorant, or she's just dancing to the right and dancing to the left to try to expand her appeal.

You think John Kerry was bad with his "I voted for the war before I voted against it"? Wait until the GOP starts running ads about Clinton being for the war, then against the war, then for the war again, then againt it again.

To nominate Clinton would be a waste of one of the best opportunities the Democratic Party has had since 1992.

Dan in TX.:

The Iran resolution is NON-BINDING. It contains NO AUTHORIZATION TO USE FORCE. So, now you can choose between someone who trusted George Bush when he lied to the country, but is at least on the record for that vote, and someone who runs like a rabbit from the tough calls. (Presidents don't get to do that you know.) Or, I suppose you could vote for John – I'm not going disarm unilaterally in the money race unless I raise practically nothing in which case I'm for public financing on principle as long as the Republicans do it too – Edwards.

Ben-99% of right-wingers in NY,which is a rapidly shrinking minority. She's here so leave! I'd suggest a red state but they'd get pissed,nobody wants you.

In a quarter in which every pundit and ill-informed reporter has crowned Clinton the presumptive nominee– in a quarter in which both Clintons have been allowed to dominate the media with their two-for-one punch - in a quarter in which all of the fat cats who contribute to "winners" should be flocking to the candidate they believe will be handing out the jobs in the new administration –OBAMA STILL ESSENTIALLY TIES CLINTON IN FUNDRAISING! He still remains the candidate who attracts the most donors, has the most resources banked, and the most volunteers at rallies. That's the story morning glory!

I bet she got all those new donors because people wanted to sit on the couch and watch a debate with Bill – not because they really support her.

Hillary added $10 million from the 2006 senate campaign.

"Nearly 70% of Hillary's donors contributed the maximum allowed amount. When you break it down, a lot fewer people are giving to Hillary than to Obama. However the people that ARE giving to Hillary are from a more elite subset of people that can actually afford to contribute the maximum. So it's not a shocker that she has a $5 million spillover from primary to general election funds from people donating beyond the maximum."

AMEN!

It is definitely interesting that the Clinton estimates were so far off while Obama's campaign gave accurate estimates.

In any event, Barack still has the overall fundraising lead (without transferring $10 million from a previous campaign) and, more importantly, is the superior candidate in every conceivable way.

It seems silly that we concern of selves with how much money a person can raise to blow on advertising so they can compete in a popularity contest of becoming President. All the money raised could be used for things like children's health care, low income comminutes and many more.

We probably should all wait and see how much of her contributions need to be returned due to ethical or illegal sources.

Im from new york and let me know just inform all of you moron Hillary supporters. Geographically 99% of the state hates this woman, she has successfully raised taxes, killed our economy, and completely alienated anyone who does not live in a city. The only reason she ended up as our senator is because she won the inner city vote in NYC, Albany, Buffalo, and Syracuse. Everyone else hates her!!!! She taxes the crap out of anyone who works hard for their money and gives it to those who sit around and drain the economy. Those of you who support Hillary really need to open your eyes to the fact that she is an idiot and stop supporting her just because thats the rebel hippie democrat thing to do.

I would love to see either hillary or some of her supporters come out and talk about some of her ideas that would actually be good for our economy. Because if you werent aware, ideas like universal health care and giving every baby born a $5,000 dollar bond are REALLY BAD IDEAS.

Hillary raised her money from Lobbists. Lobbists are determined to keep control the of the White House.
Wake up America. We need real change not same old politics.

I think the sad thing about this is that the difference you will find between the two is that Hilary supporters are voting against something "Bush" and republicans and that Obama supporters are voting for something "a new direction"

I don't vote republican but I sure dont want them to suffer, I don't think that republicans are bad people or that having a republican in office is a bad thing. What I want and what most voters want is someone that wants everyone to work together and be unified.

Just like the person from Atlanta wrote the last thing they want is a Republican in office, you might as well say you dont want a black or a jew or a gay person in office, the fact that someone is of a particular party or not is less important that what they represent to the whole country.

Those who want a general election war with Republicans, then vote for Clinton in the primaries. I won't participate in that same old nasty war if she is the nominnee. I am tired of the culture war attacks and slammed doors.

I forgot ole Hill voted for a resolution that sounds like the Iraq resolution she voted for – guess she does have more experience than Barack. She hasn't learned one thing from her experience in voting for a war that she says did not intend on the prez sending in troops – only inspectors. What a liar. I think it is sad that so many are supporting this liar who can't look in the camera and apologize to all of the mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, who have lost a love one in this vote for inspectors. If asked, she looks down as she tries to answers the question. If she can't look in the camera and speak directly to the families, then she is definitely a dishonest person. Does she even have a conscience?

How much of this was bundled by Hsu?

Simple request, since you are all so internet savvy, please Google the name Peter Paul and find out how Hillary and company get things done.

"Right-wing conpiracy, Bush sucks, they hate strong women, define "donation"...

Well, there you go again. RR

Hillary can raise enough money to pay for the war in Iraq that she voted for, as well as the war in Iran that she is posturing for, and I will NEVER vote for her.

Bradley Schaubs:

Hillary's ego is much too big to choose Obama as a running mate. And Obama is much too ethical to choose Hillary.

Does this $27 million include Hsu $6 million contribution?

Does anyone remember how her numbers changed after it was determined that people had contributed more than legally allowed?

I'll be curious to see what the next few weeks show.

Lastly, CNN Hillary's fundraising efforts is not BREAKING NEWS. You should be ashamed. How many troops have been killed or wounded is BREAKING NEWS.

You know what they say " Money Talks and $%^^ @&*# walks....this doesn't make her a better leader of the free world...she is just better at arm twisting

Why would anybody wear a Hillary shirt with pride when they could like Mike Huckabee instead???

http://www.newyorkforhuckabee.blogspot.com

I like how the title reads " Clinton beats Obama in the money race". Did CNN also report that Obama raised more in the first two quartes than she did? She had to revise her numbers after a lot of bounced checks and misreports for the first half which put Obama on top.
He never danced about it since he's more about the donors than he's about their donations. It's funny how biased this network could be sometimes, we didn't see any praise for the 24 000 people Obama drew in NYC. If it'd been Clinton, the title would have read "Clinton beats Obama in moving and exiting big crowds".

If you go deeper in the Clinton's donors list, I'm sure sure you will be lost because it'd be so nebulous.

For those who visit both sides websites, you certainly noticed that Obama was reporting every dollar he received, by who and when he received it. Now, that's transparancy !

All of this is part of the reason why many Americans realize that they can't trust those who receive money from PAC and get praised by Bush any more .

Go America, don't be blinded by the same strategy Bush used to win in Florida. She's part of the same draw – just observe, if you are vigilent, they won't get you. Promised!

I swear Obama supporters are just like Republicans. When something is going their way everything is fine. For example when the Republicans had complete control of the House and Senate it was fine to add pork to all kinds of spending bills. Now that the Democrats have control, SPENDING MUST BE CONTROLLED!!!

I have supported Hillary and I have given Obama praise when he outpaced Clinton in the fundraising drive but Obama supporters are so conspiracy driven that they cannot honestly believe that Senator Clinton really does have support among the people.

We all know that corporations are forbidden from contributing to these totals. We all know George Soros didn't write her a 27 million dollar check. I think it is time for Obama supporters to concede that Hillary is a force to be reckoned with and that her lead in the polls is TRANSLATING INTO FINANCIAL SUPPORT.

I hope that this latest round in the fundraising race really proves to people that Hillary is strong and she is in it to win it. I just want all those people to remember that win she does win the nomination please support her and vote for her because she is a Democrat and the last thing I want is another term for the Republicans.

Hillary I wear your 2008 Hi1lary for President shirt with pride! Go Hillary I will be voting for you!

Congrat Hillary! That is impressive.

She not only has raised more money, but also has more new donors, than Obama for this 3rd quarter.

It is also interesting to see Hillary setting aside more money than Obama for the general election campaign. This shows that Obama is short-sighed in the nomination primaries, and his presidnetial ambition will be finished by next Februrary based on the new donor numbers, funds raised and the poll standings.

Guess that's the least Hill can do since she voted to send your sailor and all soldiers to a war she voted for. I'm impressed. I wish she would not have had to step in for you at all and I profoundly wished none of the 3K lost in this senseless war would still be here today with their families. Yeah, you definitely go girl. Blood on your hands.

It seems odd that Obama got 20 Million from 350,000 people but Clintons 27 Milllion only came from 100,000. Clintons people are donating BIG bucks because lets face it they have the $$ to toss around. Its more impressive that SO many people gave a little to help out Obama, than a smaller number of people (lobyists, coompanies) giving BIG money to Clinton.

I always have to mention that I'm not bashing clinton. IF she is the last one standing she gets my vote... but it wont be an enthusiastic vote

Newsweek said yesterday that Barack is leading among likely voters in Iowa- which is known for starting the domino effect for the nomination.

So far this year, he's gotten donations from 350,000 Americans. He seems like the kind of guy who can give a former first lady a run for her money!

I used to be a big fan of Mrs. Clinton when she was first lady, but she lost me when she voted for the Iraq war resolution in 2002.

She's supposed to be representing the people of New York, one of the bluest states in the country! She was practicing political calculation, but she ended up with the wrong results. Sorry Mrs. Clinton.

WOW, and where did all that loot come from?? hopefully not any more wanted criminals! The thought of that woman winning anything turns my stomach. She is nothing but an empty shell-she spews the same old rhetoric that i am sick and tired of hearing. She cant keep her own self straight-in fact she isnt straight on anything-just wishy washy whichever way makes her look better. Why do we care who raised the most money?? What does that say?? oh more people that when/if she gets elected can get what they want done in the white house? Why is running for president a popularity contest based on how much $$ status/power, looks, and likeability? We are not voting for prom king/queen! Good lord and we wonder why our country is heading down the toilet? look at our values and standards?

Joe Biden is looking better and better to me and i am soo happy that the media is paying a little more attention to him than just Hil/and Obama and Edwards.

God help us if Hillary gets elected.

Go Hillary!!! When no one else would help my Sailor you came through and brought him home.

Wow, such hatred.

If Obama had raised more money than Hillary this quarter, Obama supporters would have used that to support his chances of getting the nomination and ultimately winning in the general elections. Hillary's supporters are doing just that and they get attacked for doing that. Just sad.

Already people are quick to say big interest groups are responsible for giving Hillary this edge. Really? I am not a big interest group or lobbyist, neither are my friends who also contributed to Hillary's campaign. I am a student who can barely make ends meet and so are my friends. We made the difference. The first two quarters we didn't contribute but after watching Hillary in the debates and seeing where she stands on the issues we decided to contribute. We know she can deliver.

You go Lady!!! Shut em all DOWN!!!

I recall being a recovering alcoholic and a "C" student was also virtuous and look what that has given us the last 7 years. Senator Obama definitely can't do any worse.

There is nothing that can make me cast a vote for this woman...and there are many that feel as I do. BARACK OBAMA IS MY CANDIDATE....PERIOD. the way I feel is there's not really much difference from Hillary and a GOP since they're both bought and paid for by Corporate America and have little reason to give a damn about middle-class Americans.
Just ask the questio...who do you know that has been "polled"????

Obamaites,

please don't despair. you know "the devil is in the details". It took camp Hillary 2 extra days to cook these numbers. If it was a straightforward good report they would have been at the front of the line. Mark my words: after they used this release for initial publicity they will slowly backtrack when pressed in clear Clintonian fashion. Let's say they will something like "it depends on the DEFINITION of what contribution is..."

And overall,(if we believe the numbers)she outraised Obama by only 3 mil. and for the total sum raised in all 3 quarters he is still in the lead.

Well, it looks like we are being sold on the fact that the Clinton/Bush dynasty will live on another 4-8 years. Expect it to be all about Iraq and Iran for the next decade, with no domestic progression for our own country.

Hillary raised more money than Obama in this quarter but he outraised her in the previous two and he still has more primary dollars than she does. It will be interesting to see if she used any of her money or transfered more from her Senate campaign in the pot.

Also note that Obama only raised 3 million in priamry money less yet doesn't accept PAC or lobbiest money.

The Peter Paul case is going to stop Mrs. Corrupted right in her tracks. Do your research people.

This is just disgusting. We have children in this country who are starving, parents who cannot find work, schools that are failing, no access to proper healthcare, etc etc etc. What does this say about American politics? He/She who has the most money wins? The laws should be changed and there should be a maximum. This kind of greed is just sickening.

Now what is Obama going to brag about?
In the past 9 months, Obama has been trying to help GOP against Clinton. Now his noise will not matter. People, at least intelligent people, have realized Obama is trying to lead our country to the wrong direction by making inexperience a virtue in this country. Do not let him fool you.

Congratulations Hillary, the special interest groups are sure banking on you. Stop and think about where this money is coming from and for what reason before you praise this accomplishment.

SO WHAT??????????? I don't care if Hillary raises a billion dollars, she will never get my vote and I'm a blue-blooded democrat. CNN (Clinton News Network) and NBC (Nothing but Clinton) are doing exactly what they did leading up to the war – lay down and report whatever the spin for the administration wanted it to be and now whatever the Clinton Regime wants it to be. Absolutely sorry journalism.

I'm curious who's donating to Hillary. It seems more obvious she attracts the democratic elite who have all the money. Sounds pretty republican to me. Also, how many donors does she have.

And why did they just say they would raise 19-20M yesterday, then all of a sudden be about 7M off the next day?

As a Democrat, I will not vote for Hillary if she wins the nomination. She is the female version of Rudy Giuliani, so what is the point. If Hillary represents your values and beliefs, well then, you are a Republican!!

She also had 100000 new donors to Obamas 90000, only beat him by a little but it still shows that her campaign is gainig alot of momemtum this quarter.

Keep up the great work, Hillary supporters! Senator Clinton is headed to the White House and nothing can stop her! She has proven herself capable of standing up for the people and not being afraid to criticize the Republicans who have gone wrong. I will be casting my vote for Hillary come this January.

Congrats on a job well done by the Hillary for President campaign!

The only thing the MSM has been holding above HRC's head thus far is that Obama had been outraising her.

Now that she's outraised him, the writing is truly on the wall, people.

Its sad that it takes fund-raising numbers to bring the Hillary supporters out of the woodwork. I'm sure if her support weren't based on assumption, we'd hear from these supporters more often.

Hillary does not equal Bill.
Bill's Experience is not Hillary's

Happy Voting!

Why do Hillary supporters discount the fact that OVERALL OBAMA HAS MORE!! More donations, more dollars. It's not being negative towards Hillary to point that out. Taking the results of just this quarter without adding in Q1 and Q2 doesn't even make any sense. But I guess if you support Hillary, you've already proven you're good at forgetting the past.

How can Clinton only raise $2 million more than Obama? She's killing him in the polls, why does Obama have so much support?

He was against the Iraq war and is against the coming Iran war. Hillary voted for the Iraq war and has effectively voted to approve a war with IRAN.

Where am I wrong here?

Way to much money, The White House is for sale. There is no reason that anyone should have to raise this much money for a job that pays a hell of a lot less. We need reform in our political system. Remember the fed matches you funds, so don't check that box on your income tax form. They don't need it anymore. You wonder why people don't vote, they had enough of this big political machine

What "intelligent" woman would stay married to an adulterer? Please – don't confuse swallowing your pride to get ahead – with intelligence. She used bill to get where she is, and she used New York State as one of her stepping stones, too. That's why a lot of Upstaters don't like her.

The stresses of running for President is already taking a toll on Hillary. She looks like something out of The Living Dead when she's on camera giving an interview. If she win's the actual Presidency, that face will then be the respensentation of the USA to the rest of the world. Oh, and like most Presidents; the intelligence that they pull off on stage is roughly based on the support staff they have coaching them. This now defines the type of people Bush has in his camp. They can't make him look good for nothing.

Danny G,
Did you all see the New Hampshire debate? there is a reason why Sen Clinton is ahead… you may be for her or against her, but you have to recognize she is one very intelligent woman!

Yes, I did see the 'debate'. I thought the order of finish was left to right on that stage. And the only reason it was so was that Gravel bragged about 'sticking it' to the credit card companies. Did she answer any questions? All I saw was a big tap-dance. No clear plans or visions and anything that required an impromptu response was met with the "I don't deal in hypoteticals" response.

After that debate, I knew where Biden, Dodd and Richardson stood. I have no idea what she is for. You can go to her website and see a bunch of "Ready to Lead" quotes, but I find no substance.
She is a great politician, but is that what you want? Washington is FULL of great politicians, look how effective it is. She voted for Kyl-Lieberman...please. She rails about getting out of Iraq, but sees no problem with our putting Iran in the cross-hairs.

Yeah, you go girl.

Have a good day,

Nearly 70% of Hillary's donors contributed the maximum allowed amount. When you break it down, a lot fewer people are giving to Hillary than to Obama. However the people that ARE giving to Hillary are from a more elite subset of people that can actually afford to contribute the maximum. So it's not a shocker that she has a $5 million spillover from primary to general election funds from people donating beyond the maximum.

Wow! I really think she's the best candidate and am really impressed she raised 27 million. I think she's going to win the election and be the next president.

I just love how the Obama supporters make $7 million more raised seem like nothing at all. They would be head over heels making all sort of craziness if Obama could even raise $1 million more than Hillary.

I've had enough of these Obama hypocrites.

Sen. Clinton is running a perfect race so far. Her democratic presidential opponents seem to look more and more like petty idiots. From a candidate whose wife seems to take issue with everything Sen. Clinton says to one who gets backing from Oprah . . . WOW

For the people who say they find it hard to believe she was able to raise this much money and surpass Barack Obama, I ask you which planet do you live in? This is Hillary Clinton we are talking about. She has the best political machine in the country and the best brains and ideas.

How dare you question her ability to raise that much money? This is Hillary Clinton we are talking about and not former Senator Mike Gavel. If anyone in this race is expected to raise money it's Hillary. She is always on message, very discipline, great campaign and beats all her fellow democrats in every debate. At some point people start seeing Obama as all talk and fan fare with no substance.

You go Lady!!!!

Looks like Hillary's gonna be presidential nominee with Obama as VP nominee... Well, those two are still far better than anyone on the GOP ticket, that's for certain!

Wow, it didn't take long for the negative comments to begin. Yes Hillary...Yes!!! Way to go!!!

You go Hillary!!! Yes Yes Yes!!!. I feel great about this. I contributed this quarter and I asked my friends who support her candidacy to contribute too if they can and most did.

She will be the nominee and she will be the next president. Those of you who hate her so much can get your one way tickets now to space because like it or not she will be the next commander in chief.

Being in the military and a male I know she will do a great job for our country. She has the support of the military for the work she's done in the senate on our behalf. Check her record on the military. I can't wait to call her 'madam commander in chief'.

If you are ready for change, Hillary is ready to LEAD

Just goes to show that Hillary is bought and paid for

Again, Hillary proved her deep and thorough knowledge in foreign policy as well as domestic policy. She demonstrated her intelligence, strength, and leadership skills over and over, and the money will continue to flow to her campaign, like Niagra falls...God bless her.

Truly impressive how good an expectation game Clinton played with this quarter's announcement. No one expected her to best Obama at this point. Add to this the lead she has in all early states according to recent polls, and you've got yourself a favorite.

Not that this matters to the above article (or perhaps, it may help explain why Obama raised less), what does the man stand for? By this I mean specifics–not the same mumbo jumbo that is so blatantly broad to mean a number of things. The only thing I ever hear is that he "said" he didn't support the war back in 2002. That's what his entire bid for president seems to be based on–which is a shame because it is not relevent since he never had to VOTE on it (check and see how many senators have personal beliefs that don't match that of their constituency, but have to make a VOTE based on what that constituency wants and what is good for this country). It's a lot easier to "say" your against something then to have the pressures of the MAJORITY of Americans to VOTE to put this country in battle. His talk seems to be very cheap as he fails to say anything of substance. What's worse is after reading through posts for other threads, the Obama supporters seem to be just as clueless. I have read his "plans"/listened to his speeches/watch him debate/read the interviews–and he never explains "how" or "why".

Hey Claude, give it a rest!!! If Obama had surpassed her there would be an infinite number of messages of praise from his followers. Well, guess what? Hillary also has loyal supporters!!

Good for Hillary!!!

Keep marching on, steady as she goes....

Remember it's who has the most money, not who has the best ideas!
That's why the press give so much coverage to who raises the most money!

Way to go Hillary! I'm proud to say I helped reach that goal. You'll go all the way. You're the change this country needs!

For some reason I dont think we have the whole story on this. I find it hard to believe that she has a 100k new donors and 7 million more dollars in the slowest quarter for fundraising.

Did you all see the New Hampshire debate? there is a reason why Sen Clinton is ahead... you may be for her or against her, but you have to recognize she is one very intelligent woman! and now it seems she is getting POPULAR... a lot of her republican opponents have to be simply just jealous about all the money she and some of the other top dems are raising... this is what momentum feels like!!!!

She beat Obama? Wow, that's impressive. I'm amazed that her campaign isn't already out making a huge song and dance about it, since they're trying to entrench her as the presumptive nominee.

Right on Hillary, historically the American people let their guard down, your success will demonstrate our awakening to the mess we are in at present. A lot of people will support you, I will and I hope to see you elected president in 08. There is a lot of Real Women in this country and you are number one, thanks for everything you and your husband have given to our country.

Well, as funds raised and number of donors was all the Obama camp had to cite when it came to their candidate's viability, what does this say?

It's nice that she raised all that money. But half the reason I'm not voting for her is that she authorized Bush to start the Iraq war. The other half of the reason I'm not voting for her is that she just authorized Bush to start war in IRAN. She talks about experience – didn't she just talk about insanity as being the same mistake over and over again?

Her campaign spokesman all last week said she would come in around 17 to 20 million. This is exactly why I don't trust Hillary Clinton!!! Her bean counter being off 20% is a ploy. Ploys are what have got this country into the situation it is because these politicians with so-called experience can't be straight up with the american public. Now she's misled the american public into thinking she made less than she really did. What else is and will she mislead us on. Think PEOPLE!

I think its great that Obama is such a force to be reckoned with that CNN has to make it "Breaking News" when Hillary takes in a little more money than he did this quarter. So over all they have equivalent war chests to spend. That's a testament to the Obama campaign that he came along and inspired a nation to participate in a campaign to make him one of the most formidable fundraisers in democratic history. And he did it without taking the big bucks of PAC and Lobbyists that Hillary did. Obama is beholden to the people.

Hey,
Why does Hillary's fundraising get a big Breaking News flag across the top of the screen, yet when Obama shattered records last quarter with $32 million there was no flag...hmm.
Truly the Clinton News Network!

YOU GO, GIRL!!!!! I don't believe she can be counted out yet, can she, gang?

I think it is great....NOW let us hear all of the negative crap...

So for the Primary, it's her 22 to his 19. Did the Clinton Camp disclose how much of her $ came from her own bank accounts?
