CNN

Hillary Clinton will win the 2008 presidential election! She will put action above the rhetoric of her opponent and make this country honorable here and abroad.

CNN needs to be fair in their press coverage of the candidates. We are after all voting for the President of the US. Experience does matter; MOST COMPANIES WOULD AGREE!

Hillary Clinton for President.

THIS IS WHY OUR COUNTRY IS SO SCREWED UP! PEOPLE POST SOME OF THE MOST NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT EACH OTHER CANDIDATES AND THEY LET THE MEDIA PUMP THEIR LITTLE BRAINS TO FUEL THE IGNORANCE. WHETHER ITS OBAMA OR CLINTON TO WIN THE NOMINATION, I WILL BE HAPPY. I'M A STRONG OBAMA SUPPORTER BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF HIS MESSAGE AND DRIVE TO BRING ABOUT A BETTER AMERICA, NOT BECAUSE HE'S BLACK, NOT BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH MONEY HE HAS RAISED, NOT BECAUSE HE HAS OPRAH...NONE OF THAT WILL MAKE ME VOTE FOR HIM. I WAS ABLE TO HEAR HIM SPEAK IN LAS VEGAS AND I WAS MOVED BY THE POWER OF HIS MESSAGE AND HIS VOICE FOR CHANGE. AS PEOPLE WE LOVE TO DOWNPLAY OTHERS TOO MUCH INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON WHAT THE TRUE MEANINGS ARE. UNLESS YOU ARE STANDING SIDE BY SIDE WITH THESE CANDIDATES AND SEEING HOW THEY LIVE THEIR LIVES AND THE HARD WORK THEY PUT INTO THEIR CAMPAIGNS, YOU SHOULD THINK TWICE ABOUT THE COMMENTS YOU POST TO DOWNPLAY THE OTHER. POLITICS HAVE BECOME SO MESSED UP BECAUSE WE AS AMERICA PEOPLE MESS IT UP. WE GET CAUGHT UP IN ALL THE DRAMA SURROUNDING THE RACE WITH THE MEDIA AND LOSE TRACK ON WHY WE NEED A PRESIDENT TO RUN THIS COUNTRY. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!! REALLY WAKE UP!!! WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO TO MAKE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT HILLARY AND OBAMA. AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU STILL HAVE YOUR OPINION, WHICH DOESN'T MATTER AND WE WILL HAVE A NEW PRESIDENT TO RUN THE COUNTRY WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT. NO ONE WILL EVER BE HAPPY WITH WHO WE PUT IN OFFICE AS LONG AS WE HAVE A PRESIDENTIAL RACE AND THATS A FACT! STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT WHO CAN AND CAN'T DO WHAT FOR THIS COUNTRY. STAND UP AND MAKE CHANGE FOR YOURSELF PEOPLE, STOP WHINNING ON SITES LIKE THIS, YOU SOUND WORTHLESS AS A PEOPLE. AND FOR ALL THE HILLARY SUPPORTERS, I REALLY HOPE YOU'RE VOTING FOR HER BECAUSE OF HER MESSAGE OF WHAT SHE CAN DO FOR THIS COUNTRY AND NOT BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN, NOT BECAUSE SHE IS THE WIFE OF BILL CLINTON, AND NOT BECAUSE ITS HISTORY TO SEE A WOMAN BE THE FIRST PRESIDENT. PLEASE VOTE FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS! I'LL BE THE FIRST ON HERE TO SAY GO OBAMA AND GOOD LUCK HILLARY!!! KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING, GOD IS OUR BIGGEST CRITIC!

CP – Las Vegas

this just reminds me how rich these people running are. It's what I hate about this particular candidate.

This election so far is getting to the point where it's even affecting my personal life because I pay to much attention to it. I find it unfortunate that Hillary is running out of money, I'm even surprise because I thought Obama would have had that problem first. So should we take this as a sign of who is the clear leader for the Democratic Party, but no matter who gets the nominee I really would love to see Obama and Clinton on the same ticket.

Barack Obama for President.

Sent a donation to the obama campaign today!

It is important we remember the lessons of NH, and for the obama camp to not rest on yet-to-be cemented laurels. Hillary is (unfortunately) still very much in the race.

I think it is crucial for Obama to set the tone of how many debates they have, and to put in more efficient performances. While effective as a stump speech, his message of "change" sounds regurgitated in, and has become, stale in a debate forums.For the life of me, I can't understand why he consistently fails to highlight his days as a community organizer (to attract lower income democrats into his pool).

One debate a week is an excessive request that should not be granted. If Hillary had the momentum she would not agree to any such deal.

Hillary Clinton is not going to win the 2008 presidential election. If she does, I'm moving to Europe.

Being a female, rather poor, and an independent I've voted FOR Obama last Tuesday, and I intend to vote AGAINST Hillary in November if by any chance dems choose to nominate her. Here's why. Hillary campaign has started with the promise to defeat Republicans, many other fat and false promises, and the statement about her experience. I don’t need Clinton’s “experience” in Washington politics with “remarkable” results in Health Care Reform. In contrast, Obama's way is to unite us all, to solve our common problems as a nation. I like that approach: we don't need to defeat each other based on our differences (as suggested by Hillary), but we need to unite and solve our problems together. We can't afford to go back to 90-ies with Hillary and with the same old Washington where politicians like Clintons are all about their money and careers. We need to go forward united and make Washington work for us, the people of this country.

By the way: no President can be the best expert on everything, that’s why they hire advisers.

Dems, you’ll loose my vote if you nominate Hillary.

OBAMA for PRESIDENT!!!

Question. How come when asked about their donations last week HRC stayed away from commenting until after super tuesday then they let the cat out of the bag? Surely the Mitt Romney of the Democratic party. Maybe she'll follow Mitt Romneys lead today!!!!

Love, that when Hillary loans herself money because she's so sure of her nomination.... Okay Hillary supporters (who have probably never seen a million dollars in your life time) you better give more so that poor Hillary can pay herself back!!! At least when the rich republicans put their own money into their campaign they don't expect it back....

She is not the Media darling , but she will prevail.

"February 6, 2008 4:38 pm ET

I would like to know where Obama got the $32,000,000 to keep running his campaign. "

(((LIZ)))) I bet The Clintons would like to know the answer to that one too! LOL!LOL! Maybe they could get some and wouldn't have to spend their own money! LOL!LOL!LOL!

To all Obama supporters:
Please explain what do you see Obama "changing".
What exactly everyone expects to see happen other from what Hillary proposes or is capable to deliver?
How do you see him 'revolutionize' the future?

Obama only says things people want to hear and all the gallable people listen and dream as if they held a lottery ticket in their pocket before their bubble burts.

Unfortunately all the 'youth' does not yet have enough life experience to see how things work in Washington.
Anyway, if Obama wins, you'll have to suffer consequences later, far longer than the older generation.
America desperately needs a healthcare overhaul; "he" won't make it happen (he says he'll make it affordable for every American.... HOW?).
We are yet to hear what in fact he proposes to do and make things happen.

It's like at a job interview. Some people are good speakers but that's all they can deliver. So really think who you vote for.

It's far smarter to go with experience and with the sure and tested instead of a "trial by error".

GO HILLARY!!!

All4Change: I agreed with you! This is after "Iron my shirt", crying and laughing like a person on the verge of breaking down ! What is next? dancewu(dot)net

it only shows how committed is Hillary with the campaign

Randy, 20M of Hillary's on hand money is for the general election and can not be used for the primary.

Is it legal for OPRAH WINFREY to make contributions to Obama using names/addresses obtained at campaign rallies or her audiences?

She's playing the "Pity card" to all of her gullible supporters.
"Poor, Poor me. Now hand me your fat wallets!!!"
Go ahead and fall for it, Hillary supporters. She's sooo manipulative!

Nothing can stand in the way of a million voices calling for change.
OBAMA '08

All the democrats are funded by corporate interests. It's a good thing too because your measily little donation will get spent in a heartbeat the way they go through money. Now you have to ask yourself, do you want a president that spends dollars like they are going out of style? – Oh that's right, the dollar is going out....

The only fair reporting is by Dan Abrams.

I am curious where a person who has worked "the last 30 years" helping the poor gets 5 million dollars to loan to her campaign. Being so humble must pay really well.
Someone asked where Obama was getting all of his money when families don't have a lot of extra money these days - When you believe strongly about something you pinch and find the money to support him.
It's time for a change, dig deep!

Yes, it's okay if Obama spend more money that's understanable his last name is not clinton, he's spouse has not been in the White House for 8 years, he does not have an establish machine, he doesn't have bellionaire friends. What he has is the whole country behind him, he's not just a work horse who cannot inspire ordinary people but he is a work horse who can inspire ordinary people. He doesn't say things just to win people's vote, he say things to inspire people to vote.

Someone wrote this on another blog earlier, please read, its very well thought out.

February 7, 2008 5:11 am ET

In the Media's eyes, Clinton will never do right. Obama will always be a prince. If it were Clinton getting Oprah, and all the celebrities, the press would spin it to be a celebrity campaign. I agree that the Media is being very unfair to not only Clinton but to Huckabee and Ron Paul as well.

I noticed Jack Nicholson endorsed Hillary, but there was no mention of it. I noticed many other establishments, and celebrities have endorsed her yet the only coverage that gets attention is that Maria Schriver added to the Obama team. When you got backers like Oprah and Kennedy's it is not too hard to raise a big sum of money.

Funny how it was only briefly mentioned that Obama DOES in fact take money from the very people he complains about, he just does it once removed so it is not direct. That is sneaky and underhanded and dishonest… and you want him to be president? WOW !!

I think its time the press starts running fair coverage and positive/negative coverage equally. And I think its time that Americans start thinking for themselves, rather than allowing the news media and big names like Oprah influence your decisions.

I think it is offensive to many people like ME who ARE very educated and DO make above average incomes, and say all her supporters are stupid and poor. I would be even MORE offended if I WAS one of the uneducated one and low income. is that NOT who these candidates are trying to better the lives of? And if THEY are the ones voting for her, that tells you something. Maybe SHE IS the candidate to make the changes needed. I hope Edwards endorses her.

Maybe when Obama decides to actually put some substance to his case, rather than just saying I was right about Iraq, he would be more appealing.

Does it NOT concern anyone that he said he needs to win because he will be "right" on day one, (basically saying he, I'm perfect, and am never wrong) but at the last debate said he doesn't want yes men around him because he won't always be right? so he got lucky on ONE topic, if he admits he won't always be right in the end, then how can that be his case for winning? If that had been Clinton saying that, the news would have been all over it!

MEDIA!!! Be FAIR, be equal, and make sure that EVERYONE is accountable in the same way.

Like Bill Clinton, I have waited all my life for the chance to vote for a black man. Obama seems like a good guy, but sadly he is much too naive and untested to be president.
Hillary will win in November. She's the best!

Because she is a liar and a cheat and she will do anything to make it into the warehouse..check the track record how many people have been indicted dealing with her....

SHE IS POWER HUNGRY & THERE IS NO LIMIT TO WHAT SHE WILL DO TO BE THE PRESIDENT!!!

OBAMA 08

too bad for little Hitlery maybe people will donate to her, oh wait nobody likes her so she is going to be SOL...

Go Melinda- Obama supporters are trying too hard to make their point. Could it be his lack of experience?

This is such an opportunity for this country to turn a corner. When I heard Hillary was going into her fortune for the campaign, I had to make the first political donation of my life - to Barack Obama!

ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD AND I KNOW HILLARY IS A BELIEVER, I AM SURE ALL CANDIATES HAVE USE SOME OF THERE OWN MONEY, OBMAMA , I'M SURE HE GOT MOST OF HIS MONEY FROM"O". I KNOW THAT GOD WILL HAVE HIS WILL AND THAT IS WHAT I AM PRAYING FOR. GOD BLESS AMERICA. I REPRESENT HILLARY BECAUSE I KNOW SHE CAN GET THE JOB DONE NO MATTER WHAT SHE IS AGAINST BECAUSE SHE HAS FAITH.

Is there some way to get out of moderation hell? Is there even someone who even moderates this blog?

I am bombatded with e-mails daily asking to contribute to Obama but I have not gotten one request fro Hillary. WHY? I would be happy to donate if asked Don't know where to send the donation. Can anyone help????

I actually thought I would support Obama but between his arrogance concerning how "his supporters are not likely to support Hillary but hers will vote for him" comments and the momumental piling on I see coming from all quarters toward her, I have decided to vote for her.

These postings are unbeleivable! Where is all this bile towards Hillary coming from posted by so called Obama supporters? Are you closet Republicans trying to subvert us? Are you first time voters who have no sense of history? Or, are you just simply naive and therefore willing to engage in eating your own?

PLEASE STOP IT! Support your candidate but quite undermining the democrat's chances of winning in November with all this mud slinging!

Listen if she can't control her CAMPAIGN spending THEN HOW IS SHE SUPPOSE TO CONTROL THE US BUDGET. WHO IS SHE GONNA BORROW A TRILLION DOLLARS FROM WHEN SHE SEND US INTO BANKRUPTCY!!!!!!!!!!!!

GET REAL OBAMA IN '08' FOR REAL CHANGE IN OUR CORRUPT POLITICAL MACHINE WE NEED CHANGE AND NOW IS THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!

There's too much venom and irrational emotion on both sides; it would be nice if people would stick more to the issues to decide which individual would be the best president and which individual has the best chance of winning the general election. Personally, I believe it's Obama on both counts. Both he and HIllary are smart and well-informed and want to help people, but Obama is less arrogant, and what Washington needs to make progress is people who can work with others they may not see eye to eye with, rather than people who are insulting and condescending to those they disagree with (e.g., how can Hillary be successful as president when she uses the word "republican" with as much disdain as she sometimes does?).

Regarding the $5 million loan, even though it might ultimately give her a tax advantage, wouldn't Hillary be more believable if she donated the money to her cause, rather than loaned it? She certainly could afford it, and it would be less hypocritical, since other contributors don't expect their money to be returned.

What a joke! If this is such a good "investment" then why is the money just a loan??? Why would she expect her staff to go without pay when she is a very wealthy woman (2nd wealthiest in the Presidential race.....2d only to Romney).

What a terrible businesswoman she is!
Too chintzy to pay for the people who have dedicated their lives to her? And she's going to "stand up" for the poor people in America????

If this is only a "loan" who does she expect to pay it back to her? What are the terms of the loan? Interest rate?

this is a pathetic scam to make people feel sorry for her. Mitt Romney is spending $$ of his own money to finance his campaign and rightly so. He is a very wealthy man and really has no business asking others to pay for his campaign. Ditto for the Clintons!

They have made millions and millions of $$ from ex-Pres Bill's position and power (esp business deals in Serbia and the middle east ). He has done extremely well financially using his status.........now they can investment some of that as they attempt to secure again) the power and position that has made them extremely wealthy.

That should be worth an "investment"....not a "loan" Stop mewling Hillary.

u know what i just found out that most of OBAMA's speech and words come from one of Organization Behaviour text books. hee hee i guess those book will also definately b in Harvard's library too. Just curious how many time did he read to memorize??? I don't like his face expression too. look at it , it seem like he is a king of US and don't care anybody. What if he really become the president, can't dare to think of. what if there is another 9/11 attack, can't even think of too.

Why would you spend 5 million for a job that pays only $200,000. Let me tell you why, she knows that the lobbyist and the big business intrest group will pay her back plus more if she is elected. Only a crooked polititian would do this kind of campaigning. Do you remember White Water was that it........ that the kind of experience the Clinton's have...........!

I completely agree with Melinda. When Hillary wins, she loses because CNN spins the story to benefit Obama.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the media is jumping on the Obama bandwagon. News organizations like CNN and MSNBC seem smitten with him even though in political years he's about 9 months old. It is disgraceful that this is being decided by who is more popular in the minds of the pundits.

I am having incredible difficulty finding coverage anywhere that is not heavily tilted and favored toward Obama. I can no longer watch MSNBC, and CNN is also heavily biased and difficult to watch. It is very disapponting. To be honest, it just makes me sad. I do not care who has raised the most money, and I am simply tired of the way every single story is spun so as to favor one candidate and discredit the other. I am a highly educated female, and I am tired of everyone saying that if you support Hillary Clinton you must be stupid. No, I just make up my own mind, regardless of how heavily "The Media" tries to force one candidate down my throat. I echo an earlier comment...media...please be fair ( but I know it is a hopeless request.)

Some of you people are not very smart. The republicans will have field day with Obama if is he is the nominee. He crys because he can't handle both Clintons. He ain't seen nothing yet. Someone mentions his full name, you get up set. The republicans will blast the airwaves with his first, MIDDLE, last name, they will use his own words against him. A Junkie, who has a problem with his white mothers people. The church he attends, with its African logo. Sudan,Darfur,and now Chad. What would he do about that mess if elected? To tell the truth I am already concerned about his emphasis on his roots, and how it is playing right now. Not to mention Exelon and Rezko. I've been around a long time I know how the game is played. His young supporters are in for a rude awakening if he is the nominee.

I guess that loaning money to her own campaign shows two things:

1) Great commitment into what she believes.

2) The radical right of the GOP knows she is a serious and effective obstacle to the GOP trying to retain power. Do you want a proof?

When blabbering pundits such as Sean Hannity (a failed seminarist, by the way!) and Rush Limbaugh (not so long ago reported to be addicted (!!) to pain killers) attack her so violently, it means THEY FEAR HER.

They did not spend much time on the other Democratic candidates, which means they see her as the ONLY IMMINENT AND PRESENT DANGER to Republicans.

Personally I find her a Great Lady!

Smart Democrat, the states that Hillary won will be won by ANY Democrat in the General. Mickey Mouse would win those states if he were the Democratic nominee. It's much more impressive to win Red States in the primaries!

OBAMA 08

I just donated 50 bucks to Obama!

In the Media's eyes, Clinton will never do right. Obama will always be a prince. If it were Clinton getting Oprah, and all the celebrities, the press would spin it to be a celebrity campaign. I agree that the Media is being very unfair to not only Clinton but to Huckabee and Ron Paul as well.

If that had been Clinton saying that, the news would have been all over it!

MEDIA!!! Be FAIR, be equal, and make sure that EVERYONE is accountable in the same way.

If you want the Democrats to win, put Obama on the top of the ticket with Hillary as VP. Having her as the nominee would be THE thing to galvanize Republican support against you (heck, a number of Dems I've heard might switch due to not liking her).

The Republican candidates have been aiming this whole time at Hillary because they know that excites their base. Meanwhile they are letting Obama skate free. I honestly think they won't know what to do with Obama as the nom. Our party is busy fighting itself where you could be taking advantage of that with a unified ticket already.

Sincerely,

A Huckabee supporter.

Janis - I agree, you're on the money about his electability in red and swing states.

Everyone Else - Obama does have an inspirational movement generating some serious cash, but Hillary, even short on funds, will be a formidable opponent through the remainder of the primaries. This will be a close one and there's no denying it.

What matters most?

EVERYONE needs to come together in November for whoever wins the nomination. This nation cannot afford another 4 years of a right wing Presidency, tilting the balance of our Supreme Court even further right and continuing to push tax breaks for the richest Americans while the country falls so far into debt that it might never recover.

DEMS 08

We would like to donate,!!!!! apparently we must be US citizen and we are Europeans, please let us know what to do. We would like to see Mrs Hillary Clinton in the white house because we believe that amongs the candidates she's the only one will manages and make your country great again.

Hi,Everybody!I just joined the Movement,donated 25$.And I feel myself very good .
I feel that I did my little part of the job of getting rid of lobyests and other
"corporate America crap".
I actually was inspired to do so after reading this news.Good news.I think it's important to outrun Clintons financially right now.So corporates won't even try to compete with the people,I hope they understand that they will lose their money if give to Hillary.
To Hillary supporters(especially young people):Stop bashing Obama.If Hillary wins(I guess not) I Will vote for her.Don't you see that Obama is not only a good candidate-he is a phenomenon?
Only few month ago where was Hillary and where was Obama?And now Obama is UNSTOPABLE!And he's going to Destroy Grandpa who wants to stay in Iraq for 150 years and doesn't have an enough support within his own party!
So if Clintons are "running out if gas" join Obamas' camp!And trust me guys-you will be proud of him and yourselfes.
Go to barackobama.com and check it out(just take a look at music video of "Yes,we can" it's cool )
Go Obama!Go Democratic Party!Go America!
P.S.I'm sorry if there any mistakes-English is my third language.:-)

Hillary won states which always go Democratic. Obama won red states by overhwelming margins. She won her adopted home state of NY, adjacent NJ, and Ca., where the Clinton machine has been operating for 15 years. Only adjusting expectations downward concealed the fact that the only states she won were expected, including her other adopted home state of Arkansas, and the immediately adjacent states still riding the Clinton bandwagon, as well as Ma..
Bill Clinton never renounced the immoral and drastic tax cuts of Ronald Reagan, and neither has Hillary.
I still insist, the only way to return to our Democratic roots is to eliminate income taxes on the first $50,000. Levy a 40% minimum tax on income over $50,000. Since first $50,000 is exempt, taxes would be reduced on income up to $330,000. Return to a progressive income tax as follows: 50% over $500,000; 60% over $1 Million; 70% over $3 Million; 80% over $5 Million; 90% overe $10 Million.
I'm sick of hearing the Republican Party is opposed to taxes, while Democrats are the party of Tax and Spend. The Republicans hav become the party of Spend and Borrow.
Let us reclaim our Democracy, which has historically equated with a progressive income tax.

Florida Dem, I for one agree with Obama, I would never vote for her but managed to get my entire family who never votes to go and vote for Obama, Even my Clinton loving husband. Go with the movement, were not close-minded, were finally standing up against the status quo, so I think your close minded to go with the same old sameold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary-ous. Go fund yourself.

It is unfortunate that Hillary is having to work so diligently to rally financial support for her campaign. I wonder how many of these supporters, who clearly cannot afford to fund their "pipe-dream" healthcare plan, will incur penalties when they can't afford to pay for it either.

P.S. I'd really like to know more about the legitimacy of this move. If she loaned her campaign that money, when will she get it back? Is any new money coming in having to go to her? When is the deadline for her to re-collect?

I'm shocked to hear that.

Billary supporters making excuses, not surprised. Obama I'm going on your site to donate right now. YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!

soon there will be a political ticker....Hillary filing for bankruptcy.

If Clinton had outspent Obama, the press would say she bought the votes.
If Clinton claims that she can get those who voted for Obama to unite behind her, but she's not sure if Obama could get those who backed her to unite behind him, the press would say that she is divisive.
If Clinton's camp won the caucuses handily as Obama did, the press would say, "See, watch the political machine at work."
If after getting the endorsement of the LA Times, and she fails to carry the city of Los Angeles, and gets whallopped in California when polls showed her to be running neck and neck with Obama, the press would say that the momentum has clearly swung the other way.
If Clinton were behind in the polls by 20 points 2 months ago, and spent millions of dollars in California to arrive at a statistical tie in polls, and got endorsements of the LA Times and the Kennedys (who were supposed to significantly impact the Latino vote), and still lost by almost 10 points, the press would call it a disastrous loss after spending so much money.
If Obama were the one who won Florida and Michigan's beauty contests, and needed those delegates to win, the press would scream voter suppression.

So Clinton has more delegates committed, but might lose because Obama has more money to spend. What was the message of change all about? That more money could buy more votes for Obama? That sounds like building a political machine that would deliver votes.

Was the change that Obama was referring to all about change, as in money? Sounds like the same old politics.

dos anyone knows when is the new episode of the desperate white house wife on tv

You insult me to say that Clinton voters are uneducated. I do have a college education. My spouse also has a degree.

The reason that Obama has the following he has is that they all are young and have the idea that somehow if he is elected they will acquire jobs that pay and they will not have to work. Therefore they can continue to party and hang onto drugs.

First off, donating/lending/whatever-you-want-to-call-it money to your campaign does not make you in trouble, it does not make you crooked, and it certainly doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong. If you look at the majority of the people supporting Clinton, you'll see that they're generally lower income people. I would absolutely LOVE to have the money to throw at her campaign, but I don't because I'm a college student living on a limited budget. Yes, believe it or not, there ARE younger AND educated people supporting Hillary regardless of what some people here seem to imply. So if she is doing as well as she is with votes and support over the last month with less money to spend then I would consider her to be a stronger candidate. She seems to certainly be doing well on issues and in debates.

Secondly, Why does everyone think that Obama can bring about the change that is needed? He is always talking about change, but the problem is has he really shown he's capable of bringing about that change? He's relatively new to Washington politics, so he (likely) doesn't have as many political connections as Clinton. He's not as well known in the world as she is for sure, and I think that her well-liked standing in the world is something we're going to need to repair the damage that has been done over the last eight years.

I can certainly recognize his speeches as "inspiring", but you need more in a candidate than that to bring about change. Hillary was talking about change long before Barack's campaign started overusing the word. Change and experience are not things that have to be taken into consideration separately. And as far as I'm concerned you need to be experienced in the way things work in order to be able to make that change. I'm not sure why Hillary Clinton has been made out to be some terrible human being or politician by those who oppose her, but I think it's an unfair judgement. Is it because she's a strong woman? I certainly hope that's not the case, but unfortunately this race has become more about race and gender than it should have so I'm starting to wonder about the answer to that question.

I don't usually comment on these, but for some reason at the late hour that I'm sitting here reading this I felt the need to do so. I'm not sure whether to call it being tired, or just being fed up with the mud slinging fest that is the Democratic party this month. Likely both, and mostly the latter.

change can be either bad or good change. The person who keeps saying "Yes, we can" may not have the capability to make good change. We need a solid plan rather than empty words like "we need change", "yes we can". It is sad to see that so many people are impressed by words, not by the capability and solid ideas.

In most countries elections are a very serious event , Candidates get judged by their stands on issues and yes.., experience.
Reading some of these juvenile and mean spirited comments , one would think that Americans just don't get it.
Endorsements are a side show and as for money , every candidate should have more or less the same amount to spend.
I have yet to find out what all this talk about " change " and " yes we can " is all about . Empty words...!!!

I made another donation to Obama this morning. Since the polls closed on Feb. 5. Obama supporters have donated over $6.5 million! That was raised in about 24 hours. Simply incredible.

We now have a movement of over 650,000 donors. I am amazed and inspired by the yearning for a new direction for America.

There is nothing wrong with giving a loan. She will get a lot of more donations as she won major primaries. If Obama is norminated, most likely MC will get CA, believe or not. CNN should be more fair to Hilary as CNN is totally anti-hilary and pro-obama, which is totally wrong.

go hillary go!!!!!!!!!

Obama SUPPORTERS (read: others, not oneself) have donated 6.5 million in ONE DAY! As stated before, special interests groups cannot compete with a movement.

1 more thought – i wonder if she donated any money to the towns that were ravaged by tornadoes yesterday?

I just donated 100 to Hillary . Do you think that Obama had his money for poor people. Give me a break!!!.
The only thing that I see here is a divided democratic party that is sad because that's mean tha we going to have another 4 year of Bush II.
So be ready to be a III world country.

One more thing .. was reading some of the comments in here...
And WOW ... you can tell many of the responders are REPUBLICANS and not Democrats .....Why ? The latest POLLS show 71 to 72 percent of ALL Democrats would be HAPPY with EITHER OBAMA or HILLARY ........
It is the STRENGTH and NUMBERS of Democrats Voting the GOP and its followers are afraid of in this election ..............
There will be a DEMOCRAT leading this NATION

Hillary / Barack Barack / Hillary either or .... WE WIN !!!!!

Wake up and smell the coffee, no finance, no romance, America is falling in love with Obama, and why don't the rest of you stop playing hard to get and come aboard. Please save your money Hillary for 2016.

“I have no doubt that I can get the people who vote for Senator Clinton. … It’s not clear that Senator Clinton can get all the people I’m getting,” This is the most racist and sexist remark thus far in this campaign. In other words, if Clinton loses, the majority of her women supporters will vote for me but If I lose, my supporters black people and men will not vote for her. It’s too bad because the reality is if Hillary made this statement everyone would be all over it like flies.

IF YOU WANT REAL CHANGE, YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT THINGS. ITS TIME TO LOOK AT THINGS THROUGH A WOMENS PIONT OF VIEW.

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT

I think this is a good time to investigate how hillary and bill have made so much money. Obviously, people are questioning that and would be interested to know. Quite Frankly, that information would likely end Hillary's campaign. So please, CNN or any other major news source, please investigate Hillary's 40 million net worth and let us know exactly how she has that much money with 35 yrs of public service?

I guess this Obama guy is the ultimate beneficiary of affirmative action ran amock. Have anybody checked whether he got to where he is (Princeton, Harvard, Harvard Law Review, etc) via affirmative action, set-asides or something similar? If nobody have checked so far, maybe the McCain people will (or should).

I am personally VERY SHOCKED at the obviously blantant sexism I saw while sitting up all night watching CNN…
Every time Obama won a state, it was HUGE PRAISE and tons of it too heaped on him ..
When Hillary won , they tried to figure out WHY she won, and what it meant to Obama..........
The CAST of "pundits" seemed to get more and more caught up in it as the night went on…..
When the "Pundits" keep PRAISING and making special NOTE of Obama getting 80% of the african american vote over and over ... arent they playing the race card ???
The only people I noticed who tried to keep the PUNDITS away from racism and sexism were LOU DOBBS and ANDERSON COOPER …Bravo guys …
I know some of you cant stand the IDEA of a FEMALE president ,
but please …..keep it to yourselves …….. it was SHOWING BAD last night … very BAD …….
I love my PARTY and will support whoever wins my PARTY …
But please be FAIR "GENTLEMEN" and keep your personal ideas and feelings at HOME ….
I watched this go on AND on …on FOX … but we all EXPECT it from them …
NOT CNN…

Wow! The Obama campaign has raised $6,447,000 all from DONORS just since last night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOBAMA!!!

VIVA OBAMA!!!

Nice to see everyone making donations for Hillary; your investment will reap benefits in lower health care options, better options for college funding, save our declining dollar, improve our status as a world power, and provide countless improvements in domestic and foreign policy considerations. Republicans will vote for Hillary when McCain wins the Republican nomination. Obama's money will not make up for his immaturity. Keep up the donations for Hillary, Hillary will get the job done today and tommorow.

PS – Is'nt one of Hillary's own quotes "The American people are tired of liars and people who pretend to be something they're not"? What hypocracy!

Just thought I would let you all know, Obama raised almost $7 million since the polls closed on super tuesday. HRC gave her self $5 million and asked for $3 million in 3 days? That's $8 million, Obama is almost there already without giving himself $5 million of it.

That's what should be on the Ticker.

Hillary should win this race. Don't give up. Maybe this is gift from the God. Maybe it is a BIG Test from the God. But, don't forget your campaign's slogan：Solutions for American. Using small money to create BIG Value with your team workers. Being smart and inspire your team to overcome any troubles and problem. These solutions will prove your stragies if you wine this race. Go Hillary!!! You can, you will, and you well done!!! God blesh!!!!!

Where did Hillary Clinton, who keeps saying how serving the poor and needy has been her 'life's work', get 5 million dollars to throw around??

There are millions out there for you Hillary. None have the cash that Ophra and other "establishment folks" have for their pet boy.
We are coming through, we are donating for you a little at a time. Keep fighting for your coalition, our coalition, our White House. Looking at the demographics of who voted for who, it is clear that the so called unitor managed to unite the black vote with the black vote……he did split the white men vote which he won slightly…..what a coalition!!

This primary is strange McCain win Blue state and Obama winRed state. I think both are dreaming win those state in the general election. Today's this mess I blame Democratic party rule 1st they penalize Florida and Michigan two big state so we are left to select president from sorry state like Iowa then deligate pick is spilt not winner take all if its winner take all Hillary would get most of the deligate.No matter how many Red state Obama win if he couldn't win any big state then he should drop out.

Well, 'Smart Democrat', it might be worth considering that it's time to CHANGE that electoral college map. Maybe we shouldn't resign ourselves to winning only blue states and attempt to grow our party by appealing to a broader base of Americans. Try opening your mind instead of belittling the intelligence of those who don't agree with you. Signed, a phD latina Obama supporter.

PS– is it really just (let alone democratic) to claim victory in a state where Clinton was the only choice on the ballot (Michigan)? Regarding Florida, I can, in a way, see your point. But claiming Michigan is unforgivable.

I couldn't agree more with Bobby .THe press , the political junkies and media is all hell bent to elect Obama .They were reporting that she is sinking in California ,MA & New Jersey.She won all the races with handsome margins despite Kennedys,Oprah's .This tells you something about this woman.She is real and she will prevail .Hope Obama has peaked and his grap is all aet to come down.As regards to money , I am donating $100 to her campaign and will keep doing it till this fight lasts.

"When is the last time you half-witted obama-ites looked at an Electoral College map???"

Clealy one of the uneducated Hillary supporters.

Let me explain it to you: The Dems are guaranteed to win CA, NY and MA. Therefore winning there is meaningless.

The big problem for the Dems is competing for the red states. In 2000 and 2004, we won all the blue states but lost.

Basically sweeping the blue = loss

So Obama's wins on the GOPs turf - Colorado, for example - means that some safely red states will be in play. I believe that some of the south might be as well, given the huge number of new voters in South Carolina: Obama's vote in the SC poll was *double* John McCains.

So Obama's strategy is to compete in all 50 states. Frankly, some of the blue staters on this forum are clueless. You can be as blue as you like and pat yourselves on the back "you go girl" but this won't play in Missouri.

Sorry, the Dems need to get serious about winning. Maybe Clinton, Obama and Howard Dean should sit down and do the math. and see who can win

I'm a Obama supporter and Bill you should not talk about Senator Clinton's Physical apperance it is not what this campaign is about. Let's keep on point.

Here's our chance to bury the Clintons for good. Keep donating to Barack Obama, because Hillary cannot keep up. She's broke like Rudy Giulianni.

this is the end for HRC.

nothing against HRC supporters but she is not a viable candidate given the huge advantages in name recognition and money and support she had to start this last year.

she is not a good candidate whatever her merits. same could be said about Dodd or Biden.

Obama is going to run up the score the next couple of weeks. the HRC "firewalls" are too late in the season. this will be over in two weeks.

SOUNDS LIKE she trying to buy her way into White House.
Wonder what her dead business would think about this?
Wonder who She is gonna find to crawl under White House desk?

Where are the Clinton files? Why aren't they releasing those records? Are they up to the same old tricks as Bill did before in 92 election? I can't believe that people are really so blind as to see who these people really are and the purpose of their politics. If she is elected, I want to see how much she does for the people who have blindly supported here. When was she in the Latino communities before the elections? How many black churches did she attend two years ago? How many women organizations has she endorsed? This Presidency is another money grab for the Clintons. America wake up.

The definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result (Not from Webster’s). That is what the American people are doing when they vote for Hillary Clinton, she takes money from special interest groups to fund her campaign which means they are again running the White House. I am tired of these power hungry career Politicians that do not really care for you are I. The American people have got to start educating themselves on the politicians and not just vote because they are familiar with the name. Hillary Clinton did not play the traditional roll of the first lady, she was in staff meetings with the president and had a big influence on the decision making instead of the Vice President, read the book For the Love of Politics Bill and Hillary Clinton: The White House Years. Then if you still vote for the Clintons you may just be brain dead.

Is it me or is CNN coverage highly biased towards Obama? In the era of so-called objective press coverage, CNN's coverage of the primaries and the way it covers Clinton versus Obama is a joke. I wonder how many of all those so-called political analysts and reports support Obama, and you probably find more than 90%, which clearly shines through their coverage. CNN really needs to clean up its political coverage and provide unbiased coverage in its tone and portrayal of the candidates, the campaigns and their achievements. Hillary's win in delegates is not a defeat, it shows her strength and it shows the strength of her candidate. Downplaying her chances to win is sexist and disrespectful towards both candidates.

Obama is the ONLY CANDIDATE THAT CAN WIN AGAINST THE REPUBLICANS!!!!

He has a better healthcare plan, a better economic plan, a better plan for all of our most pressing issues. Hillary is too locked into the idea of partisan politics and won't win a majority. Her history will haunt her, and it is widely known that Hillary is the only thing that can unite the broken Republican party.

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, Obama won exactly 3 blue states: Illinois, Delaware, and Connecticut. Who cares about Idaho, N.Dakota, Alaska, etc, etc.

Clinton wins CA, NY, NJ, MA, NM, AZ, not to mention winning FL and MI already and holding huge leads in OH and TX.

When is the last time you half-witted obama-ites looked at an Electoral College map???

Ok beer drinking dems, hil needs you to sober up, figure how to use a computer, and donate to her lust for power, a.k.a. campaign.

Wow, at least the smart dems are putting their money in the right place.

GO OBAMA!

For the first time in my life, I made a contribution to a political campaign tonight. I think its time for all of us who believe in Hillary to dig into our pockets and contribute $10 each. This can be huge when millions of us give 10 bucks each.

Wake up and think before posting negative comments. This is not American Idol contest. Most comments shows how ignorent they are. I am waiting for some independent candidate to vote for.

Thank you for letting Hillary supporters know that she is in need of cash contributions. For once, I believe, CNN has done a great service to Senator Clinton. Perhaps her supporters were unaware of the need to infuse cash into her campaign. Now they are.

Whose bankrolling Obama, Oprha, her business ventures and her rich friends? Let's see where these bucks are coming. I'm donating some bucks for Hillary

Today during a news conference, she made her bluntest comments to date when she was asked whether Mr. Obama had an organizational advantage that proved itself in the caucuses.
“Well, you know, caucuses historically draw the most activist members of a party,” Mrs. Clinton said. “And that’s fine. But they aren’t the most democratic way of letting people express their preferences. Primaries are far more democratic,­ small ‘d’ democratic.”
She said she thought her husband, the former president, had never won a caucus. “I am more interested in what happens when a large number of people get to vote,” she said. “They get to vote all day. They don’t have to show up for two hours between _ or they can’t if they’re working. I prefer primaries. I’ll just be really honest with you. I think a primary gives people a much better idea of what we have in a general election. And very often, caucuses have driven candidates to one side or the other.”

I received a email from David Plouffe, Obama's campaign manager, with this information and he is challenging people like me to match that $5 million.

Results – since the polls closed yesterday, Obama has raised more than $4 Million. The people are speaking with their dollars (including mine) and we will win.

Go Obama!

Vince, you must be kidding me. Can Obama win in the red states in the general election? Hillary just did in Florida. The seniors overwhelmingly voted for the her. The reat change. Unlike Obama.

I tithe my paycheck to Hillary every two weeks!

I'm a republican voting for Obama. I hope he leaves his skid marks all over Hillary

Someone with 35 years of experience and with such a wondeful message shouldn't have to loan their campaign money. And if she really believed in what she was doing and had faith in her candidacy, she would just give the money to her campaign. What she is doing is looking to voters to reimburse her. It's distasteful that someone that is a mulit-millionaire would be begging for dollars from the avg. man. No, again, she would just give the money and give even more than that if needed. But, no she wants your votes and your money. People have been financing their own campaigns since the beginning of time. Sometimes they lose, sometimes they won. The point is, they didn't go asking people to send them money knowing they were sitting on a fortune while everyone else (at least her base) is struggling. Tacky and greedy. Wanting to keep what is hers and have voters pay her to get a job she wants!

As a recent college grad, my critical thinking skills are still pretty intact–Hillary is in trouble–and thank goodness. the time for change is now. move over. Down with the Clintons.

It's not a loan, it's an investment. How many tens of millions has Bill made on speaking tours, and payments from Kazack dictators on oil deals, and millions from Saudi princes since he left office. $30 million? More? Who knows. Take that and double it for Hillary after she leaves office and goes out again to do "public service." $5 million is chicken feed compared to what she stands to reap later.

If Obama can win some of the red states he's sure to win the Presidency, unless you actually believe that states like NY or CA would rather vote Republican.

I just donated to Hillary.
GO HILLARY

John Kerry loaned himself money and he won the nom

Heads up Obama-heads...count the votes for the red states Obama won, then count how many voted in the republican primary in those states. If he wins the nomination we get another 4 years of a republican because those states will NEVER vote for him in November....get a grip! We need a Clinton/Obama ticket and stop the bickering, do the math.

For all the Obama fans which is what you are because this is a race which appears more like a celebrity watch than a political one. Since when does inspiration handle the real issues. Since when does speeches from Obama about change but no substance or meat to them mean he's ready to make change happen? Where's his plan??? Or does he need to have Ted Kennedy or John Kerry speak for him or wait what about Oprah, Carolyn or any number of other "celebrities" to speak for him. Do you people not watch the debates with open eyes. He never answers any of the tough questions and it's easy to say you didn't vote for the war when you've taken the easy route of a "present" vote on many issues. People wake up! Obama doesn't have the experience or know how to take on the tough issues. And as far as needing money – why should he raise any more dollars when he has CNN giving him free air time every chance they can get. Shame on you Wolf!
Hillary is the only one who's taken on the tough issues. Most of her career has been working to help the poor, children and families. What has Obama done? Do some research on Obama and you'll find he's not as great as everyone would like to portray him to be. And while you're at it look into Michelle Obamas past as well. She's taken her fair share of money from the poor without having to do very much if anything. Does he not have to be held to the same standards as any of the other candidates? I didn't realize the presidency was a popularity contest in which it's easy to have other people do the talking for you.
Hillary is being attacked because she's a strong, smart women like many working mothers today. Wake up America! Like it or not this is the year for Hillary to be president. Might I add she hasn't done such a bad job with Chelsea either. She's an inspiration to us all.
Hillary for President!!! We Love You and You Inspire Us. Keep on Fighting!

Good for her! If you believe, you can achieve, but you need to DO the work like she has, not TALK ABOUT doing the work, like Barack has. I donated today! GO HILLARY!

She should take some of that money and do something about her weight. A face lift might also help. She couldn't keep tabs on Bill the last time in the White House. Of course this might be the first time she has been in control. I think Dr Phil is amused.

She said on Letterman Monday night she had 100 Million !!! Is this another lie??
And how come no one is reporting the Obama actually got MORE delegate votes than she did last night ?? It's true, check it out for yourself.
I donated again to Obama last night, right after his wonderful speech.

Hillary voted for the war in Iraq. No sexism there.

Obama saw the BS from the beginning. That's good judgement.

Listen, if you vote for Clinton, we'll get McCain as president. And we'll be in Iran by 2010.

So don't screw over America, Clinton supporters.

Some Clinton staffers going without pay.

How can we expect this lady to run the country she can't even keep up with her campaign finances control her husband or stop crying.

Bill Clinton in Iowa Dec 24, 2007

"They say you couldn't stop me from spending all the money I've saved over the last five years on Hillary's campaign if I wanted to, even though it would clearly violate the spirit of campaign finance reform."

Why do you have to play on the heart string of the dolts that follow you? I will gladly pay you tuesday for a .....

Loaning large amounts of her own money to her campaign? Here's hoping she becomes the Mitt Romney of the Democratic Party.

Hillary is the answer for our country if we can teach our men not to be intimated by her brains and strength. Obama is probably a nice guy but way too inexperienced to make the changes we need. He already is trying to back away from any one on one debates with her as he knows he has nothing tangible to offer other than the one liners, Change, Movement, etc. Its sad that many of the very people who are supporting him (poor young blacks and whites) will be left emtpy handed because he does not have the ability to make the very changes he so blatantly is spouting. All you have to do is look at his record in the senate to see that he is afraid of taking a stand. Hillary may not be perfect but she is the best this country has. And for all of you uninsured people, you can bet if Obama or McCain gets it you will remain uninsured.

There are nasty comments from Obama supporters all over here, and they stray very far from supporting their candidate. Rebecca, I don't know what you're reading, but I think you're a bit crazy to suggest us Hillary supporters are all paid by her to say the same thing day in and day out. I'm pretty sure your candidate is the one who's supporters just repeat "yes we can" and "change" and "unity" while at the same time completely blasting Hillary and all of us Hillary supporters...essentially dividing us all. I will vote for Obama because he is still better than McCain, but many of my fellow Hillary supporters will not. It works both ways, so stop thinking your candidate is so perfect.

And Brian, please don't question Obama's ability to be President by bringing up bad stuff that (a) we already know about and/or (b) isn't 100 percent true. It gives us Hillary supporters a bad name. Thanks.

Just like Romney, Hillary will soon learn that you can't "buy" the presidency.

It's pretty telling that she had to dig into her own pocket just before super tuesday, when at the same time Obama's fundraising is breaking all the records.

I think all campaign staffers should work for no pay. Everyone knows they're not in it for the money anyway. They're in it for the possibility of future appointments as adminstration bureaucrats.

Hillary should look at the Replublicans. They've proven that money cannot buy an election.

I hope she's got a good interest rate because she's gonna have to pay it back without that president salary.

On The Job Training President, it could happen.... only in America!
Shhhhh... Hillary is ahead. Maybe it won't happen.

Voters should support the candidates..... I don't want to see especial individual interests making too much impact. (Imagine if it was possible for Bill Gates or any other person to give $50million or more to a canditate?). Lets see fairness and equality in politics! The majority should have the power.

Really, people need to stop treating Hillary like she is Britney Spears. If she wants to loan money like every other ordinary person and be a little broke let her. I am probley the only guy that will see no gender or race as a reason for hillary not to run for president. People got to stop hating hillary and understand that one or the other candidate is better then another republican like Mc Cain in the white house. This is not a popularity contest! This is a national presidental election and we need someone who can run the country. Many of us take out loans and clinton is no diffrent. Republicans will be taking loans in a few months probley. If she gives up then her campaign was a waste of hard working months. Put your-self in her shoes and understand that she will do anything to keep going. It's not like she loves to take loans, she probley had a month or so to think about it. I look at obama as an alternative but any person is better then another bush wanna be.

I just donated $40 more to Obama for America. Educate yourself and join the movement.....

Obamites are helping BO buy votes! Its kind of like some religious institutions getting rich in bucks and power by taking tithes from their consumers. All politicans and many preachers do it but not too many invest their own money.

Hillary 08

Chris B February 6, 2008 4:44 pm ET

"Wow Clinton… how did you manage to bank $5 million after your "lifetime" of public service experience? I didn't know the Children's Defense Fund paid so much. Oh wait, 10 of your "35 years" was "experience" as a partner for a private law firm. For shame."

I believe they said Hillary's net worth is actually around $38 million (or was before the loan). Not bad for such a dedicated servant of the people...

I just looked up "Judicial Watch". It's a self-described "non-partisan" and "conservative" rag. Its "Ten Most Corrupt Politicians" list, published last December, included major Democratic figures Clinton, Obama, Pelosi and Reid among others. To appear impartial, they also threw Giuliani and Huckabee under the bus, as well as "dead man walking" Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho, he of the "wide stance" in a men's room stall. I suspect they didn't bother to go after McCain because at publication time he wasn't considered serious competition to their boy Mitt.

Lending personal money to a campaign is a common and legal practice and many political figures in both parties do it, sometimes to find an entire campaign and sometimes as a short-term tide-over. Such a loan gets paid off LAST; the only advantage of calling it a loan rather than a donation is that if it never gets paid back it CAN be written off as a business loss. Again, nothing illegal and people from both parties do it.

I wonder if the $3 million is to pay for the interest on that loan?

It is unfortunate that so many of us suffering the most from the harshness of this economy are Hillary supporters and cannot afford to contribute much. I donated $20 because I know she can turn this country around and will continue to contribute as much as possible until she wins the nomination! I urge all Hillary supporters to do the same!
Go Hillary!

What puzzles me is this: eight years ago Hillary and Bill were crying "poor" after having lived on the public payroll for their entire lives. Now she can loan herself $5 million. Just goes to show you how much our public servants really glean from holding offfice. If she were a Republican, someone would be launching an investigation.

Obama gets his money from his supporters, the normal everyday people like myself. Small donations from LOTS of people. Unlike Hillary, who has a small amount of people that are all maxed out. Its pretty funny that she has 5 mill of her own money that she will "loan" herself, and yet she is begging her blue collar supporters to GIVE her their money. Pretty sad! And Omabas camp just said that they have raised 2.2 mill in the last 24 hours, so it looks like he will be spanking Hillary again when it comes to finances. You Hillary people just don't get it. She is only in this for herself and her cronies. Too bad she won't win. Obama is sweeping the nation!
OBAMA 08

You Hillary supporters, better go borrow and help your leader as she's in real big financial trouble…

Hillary spent all of her money on her acting lessons. I sure hope it isn't her speech/drama coach who is recommending that she points her finger at random people in the crowd (one to the left, one in the middle, and one to the right) and then give a creepy smile with her eyes open exaggeratedly as if their were toothpicks keeping them open as she nods her head like a bobble head. It really looks creepy, and isn't helping her any.

Barack Obama should answer to the Larry Sinclair allegations. The people deserve to know before they vote.

Eric

It is typical that the candidate with less name recognition HAS to spend more money. Hillary Clinton is known by everyone and Obama is less known especially where he has not campaigned before. Hillary has campaigned in all these places with her husband. The same goes for Mitt Romney, as a governor his name recognition is regionalized. So he too, must spend more to familiarize himself with the national public.

Liz
Regular people are having fundraising events all the time. I know in Illinois people are usually willing to contribute, even if it is just a little. That adds up when it is millions of people. You can look up where campaign donations are coming from you don't have to guess impropriety.

I would also like to know why Obama is not being scrutinized like all the other Candidates? I have not made up my mind, but I must agree with Donna on her comment and Brian. I'm starting to hear these things about Obama and all the news stations are looking the other way. If this were Hilary, John Mccain, or any other person running for this lands higest office the media would have been ripped into this long ago. I don't know anything about Obama. WHY?

CNN PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE POST THIS

PEOPLE NEED TO READ THIS.

A few questions here:

1- Why did Clinton wait until AFTER Super Tuesday to announce this?

Answer, she would have lost a few votes if she did. Perfect timing.

2- How is she going to strategically finance the country as a president, when she can't even successfully finance her ow campaign as a candidate?

Thats when your taxes shall be increased instead of being cut.

3- Who, exactly, is paying for this loan?

This is not a "loan", she is trying to BUY her way into office, makes you wonder what her motive is.

OOPS!

I think I just answered all the questions.

OBAMA IS THE REAL DEAL!

PS: I just made another donation to the Obama campaign.

Oh good heavens, mimi, it's not God paying her back. that's asinine. That's like saying God caused Katrina to get back at some evil doers. hogwash.

brian

rezko donated money to hillary too. and obama's supposed scandals are miniscule when compared to the CLINTONS (cattle futures, vince foster, travelgate, filegate, the list goes on) they are the definition of SHADY

i cant believe you actually listen to that judicial watch bs.

Hillary:
You have my vote! The people of America will come through for you.

I have made my contribution. Even though it is less than I wanted, at least you know we are with you.

You have shown me you will win this nomination and won the most important states last night.

It appears to me this is yet another plea for sympathy. Poor Hillary needs more money! Maybe she should add some tears for added effect. The Democratic establishment hopefully will come to recognize that rank and file Democrats want a true leader. They want one who can unify and create real change. Not lip service. All Hillary can do is use the usual old tricks. It is so transparent. Please people wake up. Vote Obama.

This just goes to show that Hillary will do and say anything to win. Be honest, it is not a loan. When is she paying herself back? The next five million she raises? This tells me Hillary is not in favor of campaign finance reform.

I just donated to Hillary's campaign – my first ever political donation.

She is the most impressively credentialed candidate to run for president in a very long time.

Her opponent is a gas-bag with a following of groupies.

BRIAN, stop writing like an illiterate , is your blog factual or have you also been infected by the spin and lies from you know who...

he gets it from people like us, try reading the news more and you would see that all money donated by Rezko was donated to charity.

if you notice all of the republican canidates keep speaking out against Billary because her crap stinks but they dont say anything about obama.

now if we can just get ALL of the news sources to report the right delegate count instead of being all over the board......

Go Obama!! we need someone other than a Clinton or Bush in the white house!!!!
and you can check the history its been 30 years......

Thank you Donna, you summed it all up! As for all the people who have donated to Obama and voted for him, it is interesting what the exit polls have shown. If you make under $50,000.00 you went for Clinton. I guess those who have enough money can donate all they want but for the ones with little money spend freely, they know Clinton cares for them! Yes, I am one of them and I have donated what little I make to her!

HILLARY!! HILLARY!! HILLARY!!

I think it's very telling that Hillary "loaned herself" the money rather than giving it to the campaign. That means, for all of you thinking about donating to Hillary: you're just helping her pay herself back. At the end of the day she's going to take $5 million that people have donated to her and put it back in her personal account. How sweet.

Maybe Fox Noise donated to Hillary when she agreed to go on their fair and balanced network to have a debate. She will do anything to get elected. I bet she talked Carl Rove into being her brain. It worked for W.

Obama=Control; Hillary=Service

Hillary 08

Are all of you nuts? Obama got most of his money form Oprah,and he is just saying what Oprah tells him to. Her writers probably write his campaign speeches. He will owe her and others big time IF he gets the nomination. All you Obama supporters better beware!
GO HILLARY!!
She will prevail.

I, too, am a long-time Republican who will probably be voting for Obama this fall and will cross over in the primary to vote for him. I think it is obvious that Hillary is in big trouble when she cannot even raise half of what Obama raised in January. Good riddance, HillBilly!

I'm giving 100.00 today and as much as I can. If you painted Obama white he'd be the SnowBama man.... and he does NOTHING for me no matter what color he is. His back ground is slim and there are far better VP candidates out there for Hillary.

Hillary 08!

How much money came from Oprah in backing Sen. Obama?

Brian,

Obama got his January cash from over 270,000 individual contributors. Its a movement man. The only slim shady in this election is Slick Willie.

But don't be bitter, just get used to the fact that the smart money is on Obama. Look at Intrade, which is an election market where people put their money where their mouth is. Obama is favored 53% to 47% for Clinton. He's up over ten points since yesterday and shes down over ten points.

The pendulum has swung and I'm glad, because Obama has a much better chance of beating McCain in the fall.

YES WE CAN? Is it not a Mexican slogan? What is that suppose to mean? You are all beginning to sound like ilegals now!

Just donated to Hillary, RUN HILLARY RUN.....as for her needing the money, she doesn't get 14 hours a day of free air time...I sure did like to see all the pundits last night when CA and MA came in for her....where did the Kennedy, Kerry and Oprah backing get him....NO WHERE....as for Oprah, she has told me what books and shampoo to purchase for years...but she will not try and purchase my vote

How can this not reflect on how she would mismanage any other budget? Say, perhaps, that of the United States government. I wonder if three years down the line she and her husband would cough up $5 billion to bail them out then? Not likely – I would suggest that burden will be on the Joe and Jane Taxpayer.

Here's a thought on the spending habits of those in power and the people not holding them responsible. "Hello my young loving son and daughter, have a seat. Remember those trips to Hawaii your mother and I took every year at Christmas? Well, thanks – here's the credit card bill from the Bank of China – we have transferred the account onto your names. We're moving to live comfortably in Florida on our monthly Social Security checks – Love you! Stay in touch"

Ooo my God Hillary has to buy power,this woman has a sick husband who is on the road campaigning for her,that is why God is paying her back,the world needs change, and the media knows that America needs change,we love you cnn.No more undemining Americans,my $ 25 toObama 08

Brian, I hope it's just that your not too bright and not that your a bold-faced liar. I just looked at the website for Judicial Watch... entered a search for Obama and sure enough, up popped an article entitled "Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians” for 2007. So I click on it and what do I see?

#1 on the list – Hillary Rodham Clinton

Sure Obama made the list... at #8, following Rudy Giuliani at #5 and Mike Huckabee at #6.

Also, I'd take anything that conservative rag says with a huge grain of salt.

Get your facts straight, learn some reading comprehension or stop LYING to people.

Sorry Hillary, times are tough and I just made another donation to OBAMA!!!!!! This was a good laugh though. HAHAHAHAHA!

I just donated to Obama again and I am no where near the limit. I could do this every week!

I have donated $100 to Clinton's Campaign. We are already half-way there within less than 12 hours. Yes, $3M for 3 days, piece of cake!!!

Clinton'08

It's great to see that she is committed (of course, if you watch her hunger for power you already knew that) but what about voters being committed? Another check with my name is on its way to Sen. Obama. I know the money will go to the right cause that way.

Real talk
You don't have to identify yourself. Your comment is a reflection of your brain. It has shrunk for and what ever you have left is filled with hate.

The engines on the Clinton machine are smoking and it's loosing altitude!!

go OBAMA!!

Obama is what this country needs right now. His campaign is being financed by ordinary citizens who, for way too long, have not had representation. We are sending Obama what we can afford, we are investing in our future. HE IS US and
WE ARE ALL FIRED UP, READY TO GO.

Hillary Clinton will prevail. Others will make thousands of donations to put a seasoned, experienced, and accountable candidate in the White House, which is Hillary Clinton. Barack Obama has done nothing but divide the party along racial lines. Many are voting for him simply because he is black and that is a drastic mistake. This is a black citizen who will be casting an educated vote and who have just donated to the Clinton campaign. Hope + EXPERIENCE = Change.

Hillary Clinton for President 2008

I am sending some more money...I hope all of you that support her do the same...She is about change...she has made changes...most for the better...Overwhelming the black people are supporting Obama, it's sad to see the White people aren't supporting Hillary as viciously...she is the candidate that has a proven record...

DON'T BE FOOLED BY HILLARY AGAIN
This is another form of Hillary crying. She may be running low on cash, but she could have released this information last month. She is furious that Obama won almost twice as many states as she did and she will now CRY BROKE to get some money....

Obama 08

All of you Obama supporters, good luck in November. I am voting Republican for the first time.

Those who want the Bush tax cuts to be renewed, please vote for Obama. I am one of those. Thanks to Kerry and Kennedy!

guess what? REZKO GAVE BOTH CLINTON'S CAMPAIGN MONEY ALSO. look that up. only difference is, obama made public recognition that it was a stupid thing to do...

270,000 individuals donated $32 million to the Obama campaign in January. How many votes will Clinton get with her $5 million?

How is this "loan" repaid? Why is it even allowed? She has 8 years as an elected official. However, Obama has 12 years as an elected official. I guess you could say he doesn't have the same amount of experience in sleazy deception as Hillary does. After 8 years of Bush what a relief. Yes, we can!

If Obama wins the nomination then this stupid democrats will get just what they deserve! Another failed Presidential bid!!! If Obama win's the nomination I will surely vote for McCain. I will take experience over the whole "I have a dream" routine!!!

It's either Obama ( I have a dream ) or Clinton/McCain ( I have a plan ) . The PLAN will get my vote, not some stupid dreamer!

Tough luck, Hillary. I'm sending my donation to Obama!

This question goes to voters of Arizona. This state is inundated with illegal immigrants, perhaps more than other states of the country. Senator McCain has been representing this state for 25 years. He did nothing to close state’s border with Mexico. Why people of Arizona kept reelecting this man to the senate, and now voted for him in presidential elections?

I think I will place the blame on CNN for overhyping this story.
There is nothing wrong with running out of funds.
In fact the good thing about this is that it puts to nought all the funny stories people have spread about the Clintons having some unlimited money sources from corporate America.

It shows how commited she is to this race.

The problem with y'all is that either way she is wrong. If she folds her hands and refuses to loan some money, you will say she is not commited to the cause. There is a saying ' Put your money where your mouth is'. John Kerry had to do that in 2004 when he was running.

Up Hillary '08

Today ,the degree of Hillary Clinton’s win in New York is at least somewhat effected by the largely confusing and archaic party registration rules of New York State.
I , personally , was denied the right to vote in the Democratic Primary. I have never been interested in primary voting in New York before. At some time, many years ago I had checked “independent” on my original voter registration. I did not know that this would ever have any implication in my future.
Today is the first time I have attempted to vote in the New York Primary.
Barack Obama is a truly inspiring and unique figure in politics. I became a volunteer and sent my registration in as a Democrat. It was received by the party in November 2007.
However, election law in New York stipulates that the deadline for a “ change of affiliation” was October 26,2007 for the February 5 , 2008 primary. I didn’t even know ”independent” is a party affiliation.
I was unaware of this rule until I arrived at my polling place today. I was not allowed to vote.
I know I am not alone in this. I met two other voters today , just at my polling place, in my very small town, in a span of ten minutes, who were also denied their voting rights this way.
I think there are many people, who have had their interest and hopes sparked by Barack Obama, who could not place their votes for him today. The real shame in this is how much it discourages the true spirit of democracy , and supports the stagnation of old school party insiders and cronyism.
To add to the confusion, every state has their own rules. My family in New Jersey was able to vote today , under similar circumstances. National primarys should have national and well known standards. I feel truly disappointed today, and doubt the accuracy of our primary election process.
Sincerely,
Hillary Hostetler
Croton on Hudson, New York

I just donated $25 to the Obama campaign. I hope millions more do the same.

> The Clintons are running a campaign, Obama is leading a movement.

There's a fine distinction between a movement and a cult! We know what Obama's support base is shaping out into.

I just contributed for the first time to a Presidential Candidate. I am young, idealistic, and believe in Hillary. While most people are blindly following to Obama, I support a candidate with substance. While I like Obama, this is not a popularity contest, it's the race for the most imporant position in the Free World.

Hillary, I believe in you!

I actually don't think she really has that many supporters, just big business that contribute big donations.

I honestly believe that she has paid trolls working on her campaign spewing the same propaganda all over the Internet.

In Obama and Edwards supporters you notice a difference in views and opinions but overall they support their respected candidate.

Clintons supporters keep spewing the same mantra everyday the whole day it's like a Memo that's being delivered every morning.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm watching Fox News when watching her supporters.Right she's willing to go to Fox for a debate I mean after all Murdoch endorsed her..GOD ARE AMERICANS BLIND????

Great point made by someone who said spending millions for a $400,000 a year job!! Hmmmm I'm sure she's thinking her investment will give her some return plus interest if she's elected.

Isn't this suppose to be a government of the people? Why then is political office bought and sold? If there was a set amount of money that could be spent for any office in an election cycle (last election to the next one) maybe then the rest of us could become the millionaires her and Bill did after their White House stint.

proud caifornian, i think you're a bit...off. i'm not sure how obama can see america as "black and white" when he himself is biracial – surely he of all people knows how insignificant "race" is.
and you claim that the fact hillary is using her own money is a reason to elect her. really? because from what my eyes are seeing, the 5 mil is a "loan". in other words, you poor saps will all come together to scrounge up a few bucks and only when your donations equal 5,000,000.01 will one cent of it go into her campaign – the rest is going into her pocket. if she was using her own money, then it wouldn't be a loan. this is just to keep it afloat because she realizes that she can't just sit back and rest on the reservoir of clinton supporters that have been in place since the 90's. she might actually have to *gasp* visit a state and try to win votes from scratch instead of going to places like california a.k.a "clinton country" and doing "black church tours". and those church tours are just another example of how clinton – not obama – is the one who views america as black and white.

We're donating more to Hillary! Hillary supporters donate, donate, donate!!!!

"Her Money" wink* wink*. Sure it was?

Too bad Hillary doesn't have billionaire Oprah giving her money. Hopefully she'll find her own money machine just like Obama. Go Hillary...

Humm – well I just contributed another 25 to Obama – He asks – we give – we believe. The old fashion way is to go to your voters to ask for help – she can't because if you vote for her you expect government to do stuff for you instead of doing things for yourself – just two different approaches

what a deal the clinton machine can't raise enough money so hillary loans them money lol who pays back the loan wish i knew what the president makes a year multipled x 4 sounds like a high risk loan to me

White men voted overwhelmingly for Obama. Threatened by a strong woman, perhaps?

Hillary's support in California came from older women, Asians and Hispanics.

Why? Well, Asians and Hispanics have something in common-their culture has respect for strong women. They also respect age-instead of our youth based white American culture that likes only new, shiny things (i.e., Obama). They believe age brings wisdom.

So thank heavens for Asian and Hispanic voters, who have more sense than most of the white males on this forum who are obviously threatened by strong women (and can't even spell!)

Wow!!!!!!!From these comments Obama is doing such a great job of bringing this country together.

Unfortunetly people in america vote for who they'd like to go to a bar with, instead of who's really competent and talks of issues. That's what got Bush into office... sad state of the Union.

I'm tired of hearing "change" cramed 500 times into every speech and getting nothing out of what is said.

Clinton for president!!!

Maybe Obama should give some of his Rezco millions to Hillary-oh, never mind-she wouldn't sink that low.

Go Hillary-you will prevail!!!

Is she going to charge her campaign interest?

Clinton and Romney can use their own money in an effort to gain (some might say "buy") the White House, but, politics aside, I prefer candidates who are supported by numberous contributions of the people, such as Obama and Huckabee.

If we truely want a change from politics as usual, the White House should not be for sale to the person with the largest personal fortune.

Well I am donating the max to Clinton .... She carried the states democrats carry in a general election .... Obama unfortunately carried states that will sway Republican in the general .. so he is not as electable as her .. sorry to say. By the way at the very beginning of this I was for Obama .... but considering the fact that every day it becomes more of a racial campaign because of the steps Obama is taking in that direction .... I don't like it.

I don't like he is taking Money from special interests when he stands on that pulpit and says he doesn't take PAC monies ..... what a bold faced Liar. He is as much the status quo as any candidate of either party ...

I cannot in good conscience vote for a man who is critical of someone for doing exactly what he is doing ... and for that reason I will be voting Republican if he some how pulls it off.

Where does Obama get his cash? How about Rezko, the corrupt Chicago landlord that has supported him for decades and who was ARRESTED two weeks ago. No wonder Judicial Watch called Obama the most corrupt U.S. Senator in 2007–look it up, folks. Those of you on the Obama bandwagon who had never even HEARD of him 4 months ago need to take a closer look at the new slim SHADY.

How can you loan yourself money?
Does this mean Romney can deduct his millions as proof of a bad investment?
What kind of interest is Hillary going to pay herself?
Too bad she doesn't have all the support from little people like Obama has.

Reality check for you Billary supporters: I am a Republican that is voting for Obama. I recognize that our country needs change–fresh insight–and he's the one to bring it. I would NEVER, NEVER vote for Hillary. No Republican ever would.

So here's a tip from someone who is actually going to cross over to the other side: if you want a Democrat in the white house, vote for Obama. He is MUCH more palatable to Independents and Republicans. Use your brains, people. Hillary is DEEPLY disliked by many, and would only bring more uncertainty to your ability to win this election.

I happened to tune in to CNN and heard Obama after Super Tuesday's results and I heard these words " It is 'our' time." I thought this race was not about gender or race, and he just made it about race! I wish someone would bring this to the publics' attention and make sure everyone hears his words. They really need to hear him say them, so they know HE IS MAKING THIS CAMPAIGN ABOUT RACE!!!
It made my stomach turn when I heard this. I was raised in Colorado and I was color blind, and could care less about peoples skin color, but when I heard that, I was horrified, that he of all people would say that on national tv. There is no other explanation for that comment. Shame on Obama, Shame on him.

I am donating to Hillary, Again!!!
Clinton's in the White House!!! Clinton's in the White House!!!

The Obama phenom is a bit too much like mob mentality for my comfort and I'm really tired of CNN's constant smear campaign against Hillary. She is leading in delegates and she will be President in 2009. Obama might make a good VP.

I just donated money to Hillary's Campaign.

Hillary is the best choice!

Hillary has spent her life working for others. She has been working for human rights for 35 years. She can beat the Republicans – which is why you hear every R saying how afraid they are of Obama. They are helping him gain popularity, hoping that Democrats will do their job for them. Hoping we'll beat Clinton in the primary because they know they cannot in the general!

Republicans are saying (to borrow their words) "republicans pray every night that they don't have to run against Obama" Allow me to translate this Carl Rove speaking point. "Attention ALL Democrats, if we can convince you to nominate Obama, we're in good shape to win!"

The way I figure it, Obama's 120+ "present" votes will provide enough ammo for the Republicans to "swiftboat" him with a new negative message every day for moer than 4 months.

Hillary Clinton has withstood 16 years of attacks by Republicans and they can't touch her.

And those of you who are critical of money from lobbbyist may enjoy reading the eithics reporting from Obama's exploratory PAC he's accepted and used the money.

I like Obama. I admire Hillary's achievements and vision for our country and know that she will be the best nominee for our party and our country.

If you are for Hillary, please donate to her campaign instead of whining about Obama, ignore Obama and his supporters, please, please, please, donate .... if you can vote for her, you should be able to donate to her campaign instead of her having to take her personal wealth to finance her campaign

Let me see. Two months ago she was "the inevitable". Obama was the upstart asterisk. Now he's raising $32 million, and she's making bad loans. Somebody pinch me !

Clinton is baiting Obama to a weekly debate because she has no money left to pay for her campaign; now she's looking for free air time. If I were Obama, I wouldn't take the bait.

Notice that she LOANED her campaign that money. It wasn't a gift. So you small donors out there are just sending money that will be put back into Hillary Clinton's personal bank account when she refunds her "investment".

OOPs thats X$100.00 thats still a lot of money from poor folks. Maybe black people are better off then we thought.

HILLARY SUPPORTERS DON'T MAKE THIS WOMAN PAY FOR HER CAMPAIGN TO HELP US. CONTRIBUTE, $5.00, $15,00 $20. $500.00 OR WHATEVER YOU CAN AFFORD TO HER CAMPAIGN. Stop Obama and his unworthy attacks. Do it now.

Obama's net worth is $1.3 million including his home. He is by far and away the poorest of all of them. The Clintons are worth about $40 million.
I am sorry that Hillary is running out of money. How can she handle economy of this county if she can't manage her own funds. She is lucky to have a spare $5 million laying around.
HUMMM I think I will send another $50 to Barack.

OBAMA JUST EMPTY SLOGANS,
ITS THE FACT
PEOPLE WAKE UP,

Obama is the cadidate of the wine-sipping affluent liberals. Obama's judgement is also questionable. He goes after losers like Kerry and Ted Kennedy. Look what their endorsements have done. Imagine the republican ads in October showing Obama hugging Kerry and Teddy. Do you still believe that he has a chance to win in November? Kerry lost an election in 2004 which only he could lose. He was totally inept. I do not want a team of losers to represent me any more. Obama will not get more than 40% of the votes in November. The liberals actually want to destroy the democratic party so that they can have a republican as a president who can continue to give them their tax breaks.

Politico is estimating her net worth at $60 MILLION DOLLARS!!! Where the heck do you get 60 mil from after spending 35 years in the public sector? Bill's memoir sales were pretty good and he does make quite a bit of money from going around and giving speeches, but come on. $60 million???

Something's a little shady here.

Please....two words for you Obama supporters...."McCain Democrats."

Seems like a nice guy, seems like a smart guy and certainly gives a good speech but no way prepared for what will face him in the white house (maybe that's why the endorsement? – he'll sure need experienced dems around him in the Oval Office0.

He has absolutely no experience in dealing with complex foreign policy. Can you imagine him sitting across from Putin or Musharaff? Think he'll "inspire" them to quit their mischief? Scares me to death.

Absolutely no understanding (how could he?) with the complex levers of the economy.

Entering a recession, competing with China, losing influence in all parts of the world – let's select someone who has been in the legislature at the national level for 3 years. Logically/rationally – does that make any sense at all? No, it doesn't.

I am a lifelong democrat and have never voted for a Republican for any level office but if Obama is the nominee, I will vote for McCain (remember Reagan Democrats – we'll have McCain Democrats in hordes with an Obama nomination) simply because I couldn't, in good conscience, turn our country over to such untested hands in such perilous times.

Let's hope her $5 m and the money I and others gave her today gets her to the nomination!

Go Hillary!

to proud californian,scott,dennis and the rest of billarys puppets, the only thing she is up against is the esqueletons in her and bills closet, and the other blue dresses out there.... experience? what a joke!!! exactly what experience? seating on the wallmart board, wife of a governor,wife of a president?

Hillary bashers all over this board – no surprise (I suspect a lot of you are Republican Clinton Haters trolling the board). You people must spend most of your days looking for places to spew your irrational hate of her. Are your lives really that boring and sad? Senator Clinton had my vote on Tuesday and will have it again in November; and the more I read these immature kinds of comments that appear on boards like this, the earlier I want to be at the polls. Lending her own money to her campaign shows a great deal of courage and committment – and look at the amount of money she WILL NOT have to pay back to special interests – as opposed to Mr. Obama who must already have the folks on K Street lining up at his door. If you remember, he does have a lobbiest on his campaign payroll, at the same time saying he wouldn't deal with lobbiests. (That was one of the reasons I decided against him). The other reason was when he started singing the praises of Ronald Regan. The fact that that statement doesn't at least cause Democrats to take a step back from Obama with some some concern really baffles me. People who jump on someone's bandwagon simply because he gives touchy-feely speeches is not the mark of an educated person. Go Hillary!

Honestly, I am starting to question my plans to vote Democrat in the general election after reading the attacks on Clinton. I voted for McCain once in a primary, and just might do it again if the Democrats continue to mud-sling in this way. I like both Obama and Clinton, but increasingly the Obama supporters are turning me off to their candidate by the hate-filled rhetoric they write.

How will Hillary borrowing her own money – affect obtaining government matching funds? Next time she is short of money – she should ask her staff to volunteer a couple of days and oh yea FIRE Terry McAuliffee for total HUMILIATION!

By the way Tom, if you think Obama hasn't taken money from lobbyists, perhaps you should take a second look.

Hillary please give up now,we don't need your old 'pay per view' politics...

Obama '08

Why should Obama raise money? The amount of free airtime and unfair and BIASED coverage of the media is unreal! I am a republican sickened by how CNN and other BIASED stations are drooling over an inexperienced candidate. By the way, Hillary won more than a "handfull" of delegates last night,

Most of the OBAMA donations came from college kids. They don't care, they didn't have to work hard for that money .When they run out they can just ask their Mommy & Daddy for more.

I'll see all of you Hillary supporters right here next Tuesday night. By then she will have lost 6-8 more states and a few hundred more delegates.

Her stronghold states are behind her now and time is on Obama's side. The more people get to know him, the more they like him.

I say no more debates. It's a trick. Don't let Billary's broke butt get free TV time!

Yes We Can!
Obama 08!

Go Hillary! Keep moving... We know you know what to do a month after you get in office...!

Denis in NJ, what fortune are you talking about? You tell me who went to work for a law firm for 15 years after less than a year of "public" service? And then tell me who worked in the community after law school when he could of had any job in a law firm in the country? Enough said, you're done, thanks for playing! Bye

I have one song for Hillary

She ain't got no money in the bank
She be walking 'round actin' all stank
And now she at the party looking at me
Hopin' she can get a vote from me
I'm lookin at her like
I ain't tryna vote for that girl
I ain't tryna vote for that girl
I ain't tryna vote for that girl
She got her hand up but i tryna pay that girl

And Hillary, stop crying trying to get votes. YOU ARE THE PAST, WE WANT THE FUTURE!

OBAMA 08

All Hillary supporters, we need help her. This is the epic battle between real democrats and phony democrats, between main stream democrats and extremists. We will win at the end.

So she set a goal to raise $1 mil/day over three days. Yippee.

Obama already raised over $1 mil/day over the entire month of January. ($32 mil over 30 days, or $1,032,000/day.)

That's like a sprinter setting a goal to run 100 meters at the same speed her competitor runs a marathon. Hardly an inspiring goal to set.

Rut Roh

I think it's noble that Hillary Clinton is putting her money where her mouth is. This is another example of how Obama talks the talk, but Hillary walks the walk.

Good job Hilary

I'll make a contribution today.

OBAMA-CLINTON 2008 TICKET...........I DO NOT THINK SHE HAS THE CROSSOVER APPEAL FOR THE PRESIDENCY SLOT AND HER FINANCIAL WOES PROVES IT, HOWEVER HER POLITICAL SAVVINESS IS A PLUS. LETS HOPE OBAMA PUSHES THIS AT THE NEXT DEBATE............OBAMA-CLINTON 08.

I just donated more money to Obama. Hillary has taken so much money from lobbyists. She is the establishment status quo candidate. I am an Independent and I wouldn't vote for any ticket with her on it. Democrats need to rally behind Obama who is the only viable choice.

I'm all for hillary including my vote and contributions!!!

To Proud Californian:

Your quote: "She doesn't go half way on the issues she goes all the way. Health care for ALL! "

Are you really sure you want to highlight that? Last time I check she couldn't explain her vote for the Iraq war or her vote to give the authority to Bush to invade Iran.

She also has been unable to say how to enforce the mandates in her Universal Healthcare plan. George from ABC News asked her THREE different times and she was unable to say how she would enforce it...until she finally said that "garnishing wages" could be a way to do it.

I think you should examine your posts and be careful in how you phrase things otherwise you look like a fool.

Before I just wanted Hillary to win and I was just giving her my vote. Now I'm going to FIGHT for her and give her my heart and as much money as I can. I already gave today and will give more Friday!!!!

I BELIEVE in her and WE need her!! We cant roll the dice with someone who just gives you some fancy speech. My children need better then that. Hillary, I will fight with you!!!! Obama thinks he has all your votes, but you cant get him. Well, Obama..you will NEVER have my vote. Its not that easy!!!

HILLARY 08!!!!

CNN just annouced some new totals. Hillary now wins by 250,000 to 300,000. Cafferty still need his rabies shot. I am worried that the other employees might be in danger. Now if Gloria was bitten she would just go into a tirade about that just proves that Clinton is not qualified to be President and it was a sure sign that it was going to cost her the men's vote.

>>Health care for ALL!

And garnish your wages if you can't afford it.

Go Bill and Hill!

Two presidents for the price of one and only one has to be held accountable.

Just imagine what Bill can accomplish in a third term free of constraints! He'll get that $5 mil back in no time.

Of course Hillary 08, not Barack "hype" Obama.
Change, but to what? We still could not learn that! Be serious, he is so lite weight.

This is a joke!! How can she be for people who make less than $50,000 a year!!

She is as crooked as a door to door salesman!! Why did she loan the money??

Why not give it to the campaign if she believes so strongly in herself!!

When you donated to her, it's going to pay off the loan!!!

GET OUT OF THE RACE AND LET CHANGE TAKE EFFECT!!!

Hillary is the best candidtae to lead this country forward. All MORON OBAMA FANS don't know what is at stake. They just want a feel good candidate. Feel good candidates can't put food on the table. Can't bring the jobs back. Can't provide health care for millions. Can't restore America's promises around the world. Cheap talk & speeches can't deliver what we need this time. We need a workoholic not speechoholic. When I look at OBAMA all I see is talk. When I look at Hillary I see experience & leadership.

It should be illegal to make such a large donation to your own campaign – that provides wealthy citizens with an unfair advantage in seeking the Presidency. Obama's current net worth is estimated at $1.3 million, meaning he could not afford to do this if he had to. It's not fair.

And, how do Clinton's donors feel about their subsequent donations going directly to Mrs. Clinton's pocketbook as interest payments on this "loan"?!

"Obama sees the country as black and white

Hillary sees it as haves and have nots

Obama takes your money

Hillary uses her own

hm….i'd vote Hillary!"

That is truly one of the most inaccurate things i've heard all day. The first two points are not even worth commenting on. The last two, however, are certainly interesting spin. Let me spin it back at you.

Obama isn't taking money, he's being gifted money.

Hillary apparently has to provide her own gifts.

Proud Californian...HUH???

Obama sees the country as ONE UNITED PEOPLES...time and time again he says this...it's the idiots at CNN and FOX that do all this "demographic analysis" of who's voting for who.

If anything, Hillary sees the country as MEN vs. WOMEN she has, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS made reference to the fact that HER BEING A WOMAN would be a change in the white house, NOT ONCE has Obama referenced his race as being the change in the white house, but rather his refusal to take money from lobbyists and corporations (unlike Hillary).

I'm glad Obama takes my money, because I'm invested in the process! and it makes me sick that Hillary uses her own...the fact that she can, reminds me how out of touch she is with average folk.

You really want another 4-8 years with the Clintons...REALLY? Our country is really that small that we can only come up with two names to run the greatest place on earth...really?

So very sad...

But, at the same time...so very inspirational...this movement...and it is a movement...has me up, volunteering, getting involved...NOT for a Clinton...but for a movement for progress, transformation, and a REAL UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

peace and blessings to you all
(and next time, come here with some facts!!!)

Funny that John McCain was broke and out in the middle of the summer and now he is on the verge of becoming the Republican candidate while Hillary was riding a huge war chest and 20 to 30 points advantage in the polls over any other democratic candidate.
McCain has done this on Fumes as is Huckabee while the people of the United States are clearly saying that Big Money does not buy their Votes . Romney is having the same trouble as Hillary Clinton it is called not being trustworthy or Creditable .
His problem is a 11 hour Conservative Conversation and Hers is the Vote for the Iraq War that she claims to be dupted into .

McCain's problems with the Republican Party are really counter the Establishments hold on the party Much Like Barrack Obama and the Democratic Machine behind Hillary.

The electorate want Agents of Change for each Party and the Presidency. 20 years of two surnames in the White House to be continued to 24 years with Hillary as president does spell Change.

guess she ran out of lobbyst to bribe.. ops donate

Hey CNN, have you released anymore information on the Ohio debates for Feb. 27th and 28th yet? I'd like to learn of where these are and find out how to go about getting tickets if possible, thanks.

MY,MY, listen to all those obama supporters, the vindictiveness coming out your mouths. now we see the true nature of your savior obama. if you guys can't unite if hillary wins than you are finished. your so called leader obama is sounding more and more arrogant by the day his latest iam more superior than clinton?what ? he is a junior senator and he is trashing a senior senator and she has a great record of service in the senate reaching across the lines. he keeps misrepresenting her to make himself look better that is a sign of weakness. enjoy the spotlight for now baecuse if you become the nominee you will find real fast that the independants and republicans who you think are on your side will vote republican, there isn't musch i find in your speeches except you preaching and believe me than is wearing thin.

HISPANIC TEXANS FOR HILLARY

HISPANIC TEXANS FOR HILLARY

Don't worry, I'll beg OPRAH to give you some. Honestly, I admire your honesty for being true. It builds up our confidence that you will fight to the end because you are investing on the future of this nation. YOU WILL BE REWARDED! Thank you for your selfless commitment, very admirable!

So Barak bought him some votes with that $32 million! Hillary you've got my vote for FREE!

hahahahaha... Spend your money honey. lol Why are her base of Senior Citizens spending their Social Security Checks on her?

Does that mean that people who donate to her campaign are really just paying back the $5 million into her pocket? Would that change the total fund raising earnings to around 8 million instead of the 13 million she reported (since $5 million has to go back to her)? This doesn't seem very honest - is it a simple mistake on their part?

Kinda wish I knew about this before I sent her my money. Isn't there some kind of finance reform law against this?

This just makes me want to donate more money to Obama and rub it in her face

Sounds like a budgeting problem. Hillary's poor judgement in caucusing in Michigan and Florida with no payoff sure didn't help. Use good judgement and vote Obama.

Proud(Dumb) Californian do you realize that Obama's mother is white.

Now I realize why Hillary gave out her web address last night, so you can go and donate money.

To Proud Californian:

She talks about Healthcare for all. Well let's look at that a little more closely.

Wal-Mart is the largest non-government employer in the US. They employee over 1 million workers. They don't pay their employees enough to get health insurance.

Senator Clinton was on the Board of Directors of Wal-Mart for 6 years up to 1992 and she worked for the Rose Law Firm that represented Wal-Mart. Rose is the premier Union busting firm in the country.

Wal-Mart has been accused of using child labor to make their products, discriminating against women, forcing employees to work off the clock, and destroying communities that don't want them. They also force their suppliers to drive down costs, which forces them to close plants here in the US and send American jobs overseas.

So she has been working for the best interests of the American Family for years? I don't think so. If she was on the Board of Directors, why didn't she stop any of this?

What do they mean she LOANED 5 million to her own campaign???? I am pretty sure when I donated to the Obama campaign, there was no talk of it being a loan.

After all the millions and millions Hillary has taken from PACs, the pharmaceutical industry, and corporate america, why does she still have to tap into her own bank account for her campaign?

Do people not realize that Campaign Finance Reform is the first step to giving this country back to the people, instead of letting it continue to rest in the hands of corporate america's interests?

If people really want comapnies like Halliburton shaping US policy, vote for hillary – she sold her soul to big business a long time ago.

Hillary clinton "Loaned" her campaign $5,000,000,00

Has anyone given any consideration what rate of interest she is charging on that loan? Has anyone considered that all the people contributing to that campaign will be the ones paying that interest?
do any of you know what is going on or do you even care?
Just throw your money at her and hope for something good.
GOOD LUCK!!

Well that's $5 million less for Hillary to spend in her "retired" years. Hooray Hill, keep "loaning" youself all kinds of money you won't ever see again. Obama is the people's choice. Hillary, why don't you and your stinkin' husband go live in one of the foreign countries that is supporting you. It's bad enough we have to pay big bucks to elect a president but it should be OUR money – not that of a foreign company. Let's let the Clinton's know the White House cannot be bought by foreign interests.

"I loaned it because I believe in this campaign and we were and I think the results last night proved the wisdom of my investment."

We were...?

"Clinton campaign Chairman Terry McAuliffe later said the Clinton raised less than half that in the same period — about $13.5 million."

The Clinton?

C'mon CNN.

Because she belives in herself. This is draging on more than expected. She still has a lot more than Obama get the story straight people. Stop trying to make him look good CNN!!!!
SHE STILL HAS MORE MONEY THAN HIM!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!

just donated $1000 bucks today to hillary.

so...you can buy yourself a shot at presidency. nice message. all the spin in the world can't fix how broke (and broken) Hillary's actions are.

obama's crowd is so nasty and negative. what is it about him that attracts that sort of person? it very negatively affects my thoughts about him. hillary's supporters might vote for him if he were nominated because they are open-minded, thoughtful, and intelligent, and know he would be a good second choice. his supporters can't see her many virtues? that's sad.

Hillary, I will be making my 5th donation to your campaign tonight, and am urging my friends and family to do the same. You deserve so much credit for your performance yesterday. The media, the public misconception, and the Obama spin machine stacked the odds against you, but you've proven how strong and resilient your campaign is.

GO HILLARY!!!!

Okay, let up on Senator Clinton. We commend her honest, diligence and devotion to becoming our next President. She doesn't need Oprah or the Kennedy's money to earn votes. She has earned votes on her own merit and years of service.

Mr. Obama does not deserve the honor of the Presidency, he hasn't even begun a trip around the block yet. The Republicans are going to have a barbeque with him. Take off your blinders people. The man is great at speeches-that is all. Just think about it: If he "wins", we lose. The Republicans will rule for another 8 years..

God Bless Senator Clinton for her hard work. Yes, she will continue to get our support and donations. She will become our next President.

I am a man that can acknowledge a strong and determined woman, after all the media bias, they asked obama to be more agressive, then applaud him when he does, but they try to bash hillary for simply defending herself and speaking the truth about obama..6 months ago i was an obama supporter, but lets not allow the media and hype to dictate what we should or shouldn't do, look at the facts and how knowledgeable both candidates are about the important issues.

Hillary represents the strength of women that men have successfully suppressed all these years. Hillary 08

HILLARY: We believe in your vision and I already made my contributions in your website. We see your commitment and belief that you will make it to the WHITE HOUSE and that is very honest, humbling and noble. WE WILL BE WITH YOU ALL THE WAY!

to shay...please DO NOT be so IMMATURE questioning Sen. Clinton how to manage the national economy if she cannot manage her own campaign...have you asked yourself where did Sen. Obama got his million dollars for his campaign..let us say they come from their 'supporters'...have it hit your mind that these SUPPORTERS would ask something in return when your President Obama is seated in the Oval office?...is that the way you are for CHANGE...just asking...

Wow, with 5 million of her own money, that could feed and provide for a lot of people who are in need in this country. I would not have disclosed that, it really looks bad when you have 5 million of your own money to spend on your campaign, but you talk about helping the poor and indigent people of this country.

NOW AFTER OBAMA GIVES ALL HIS EMPTY SPEACHES OF SO CALLED CHANGE
HE STARTET TO ATTACK HILLARY WITH DIRTY GOP STUFF SHAME ON HIM
HE REALLY SPLITS THE DEMS,

Hillary – President
Obama – VP
Edwards – Attorney General
Richardson – Secretary of State

Dream Team

I think the fact that in her own words that this is an "investment" says it all.

I donated to Hillary's campaign through her website today for the fifth time! Obama's not the only one who has dedicated supporters! Hillary receives plenty of small individual donations, as well. She is the most-qualified candidate, an extraordinary woman, and an inspiration to those who actually take the time to find out who she really is and what she's accomplished in her life. She has my support, she has my vote.......and YES SHE CAN!

Bill Clinton in Iowa:

"They say you couldn’t stop me from spending all the money I’ve saved over the last five years on Hillary’s campaign if I wanted to, even though it would clearly violate the spirit of campaign finance reform."

Right....pulling out all the stops now, aren't we? Nothing surprises me anymore.

No way should Obama pick Hilary for a running mate. I am a vietnam combat disable veteran. I will vote for a republician before a Clinton anything ticket. I will support Barack and John Edwards.

On another note Mike Huckabee lost me when he endorsed the confederate flag! I am a black american and from Arkansas. I know what that flag symbolizies.

James

In the sixties the hippies followed a movement.
Several cults come to mind...
It's time to move on.
Movements are great for historical studies.
What we need now is leadership not charismatic movements.

Obama said that he does not take money from lobbyists!!! Then why does the head of Excelon who was a lobbyist became his fundraiser since he started his run for the Senates? Then another of his fundraiser is Rezko who has been indicted for several crimes!!!! The money coming in (according to his campaign people) from individual donors could be questionable too then !!!! Does anybody wonder how much money did he receive on line from Oprah's companies???? I think there's a lot more behind Obama's facade.

IF she is willing to do that, then I am willing to go for her. She believes in herself that much, wow. You will have my donation right now!

God Bless.

This story seems very suspicious to me. WHERE did she get the 5 Million?
Something doesn't fly here, and to me this is more of the same ol same ol with the Clintons. Does this country need more years of White Water and scandals the Clintons seem to live there life by?
I don't think so.
I hope some reporter with some instincts and nerves gets to the bottom of this so called loan. There is more to this story than what is written here. I can smell it!

Amazing....Obama's donations from supporters...32 million in January...Hillary loans herself 5 million January.

I am going to make another donation to Obama's campaign right now, because I believe in his message and his ability to lead this country. Seems like Hillary might have more money if her supporters felt the same way.

It must be nice when you're short of cash to just dip into your own funds for 5 million dollars! Most of us can't understand that kind of universe. And this is the person people want to become their President!

I just love Hillary LCinton and I hope the American people wake up and see her heart is truly for her country. The far left liberal men are showing their true colors. If there is anything this election has highlighted is the fact that American men are very sexist. WOmen leaders in other countries are never ridiculed and dissected as Hillary Clinton has in the American media

I wouldn't give her a red cent. She and Bill have millions given to them by the Saudis, Dubais etc. and put in their tax sheltered Clinton Foundation.
you know they don't spend their own money. He even boasted about "living in public housing" referring to the govs mansion and the white house. Cripes they even stole the china when they left. She should get the money from Bill for her pay off for sticking up for him. He owes her big time.
Maybe she should do some more of her insider stocktrading and make 100,000 a day.
Some of you are so naive. She isn't doing it for the jobs pay. She's doing it for ego and power and wants you to pay for it. All those vacations she took on AF-1 overseas must have paid off.

Only a weak campaign would have to pull this kind of move – much of her campaign's money is set aside for the general election, showing she though she'd sail through to the coronation.

Where does all of this money come from? Her 35 years of "public service"? Bill has made tens of millions in curious "consulting fees" from billionaire hedge fund managers like George Soros and Ron Burkle and now Hillary take their money to get elected?! How is this not totally illegal?

Hillary would unify the conservatives behind McCain. Obama would attract all of McCain's independent backers and keep the conservatives at home.

As a center-right Republican proudly backing McCain, all I have to say is "Go Hillary!" As an American, I'm horrified at the prospect of her presidency reviving the divisive culture wars of 1992. Thanks.

Yes we can , Yes we can loan ourselfs money and brag about it , but wil it be enough .. I dnt think so , I dont think so

Oh for pity sake – doesn't anyone remember when John Kerry loaned his campaign money too? And he did become the nominee.

not only is she in trouble...this is kind of disgusting. how can she be a spokesperson for equality and then try to flat-out buy an election? there's a limit to the elite trying to simply buy more power...Clinton can spin this however she wants, but this is no different than Romney: it's disgusting.

A loan has to be repaid.
Question: Who is going to pay back the money that Hillary Clinton is lending her campaign?

I just donated $100 two days ago. I may have to do more.
Obama's money will not buy him the victory. Hillary will win
at the end.

So she loses who pays her back, and I wonder if all of her other big contributers loaned her money and expect to be paid back if she should win.

It should be that no one person or corpration can make more than 1 donation for not more than 10000.00 this would force the campaigns to speak to all the people not just high profile states.

Hillary we love you and will always love u.We have respect for you.You deserve
to be a president of United States.You have a good husband that will never mislead you,he is a good husband and also a good advicer.If God be for you ,no one will ever be against you.Hold on to your faith.

You are a mother ,and you knows where it hurts your children,you knows what to do to cheer them up and brings happiness back to their lives.I strongly believe that u will clean Bush mess and bring life and happiness back to United states of America.

Keep moving the Lord is with you.

Wow! I think this is the beginning of the end for Hillary. You have to be pretty desperate to loan yourself millions of dollars to sustain your campain. What message does this send about her being fiscally responsible?

I am truly shocked......How did this guy get more money than the Clinton's????

not only is she in trouble...this is kind of disgusting. how can she be a spokesperson for equality and then try to flat-out buy an election? there's a limit to the elite trying to simply buy more power...Clinton can spin this however she wants, but this is no different than Romney: it's disgusting.

she puts her money where her mouth is
Obama puts YOUR money where his mouth is

get ready AMERICA....you asked for it you are going to get it

Obama=GWB

keep drinking the Kool-Aid.....he has you all like ZOMBIES
makes me laugh.....he has you buying his snake oil and you can't give him ENOUGH money
PATHETIC sad fools

Just gave my money to Obama this morning!

Obama 08'.

It seems she spent way too much money on advertising. If you overspend in one arena, you have to cut back in another. Maybe a little common sense would have helped when making the campaign budget. Ever heard the term "don't put all your eggs in one basket"? Her basket seems to have been Super Tuesday.

Hillary is a typical Democratic limousine liberal. Five million of "my money". None of the jobs on her resume would net her that kind of cash. That money came from Bill, and he got it from some sleazy source. Guess who gets to pay for it in the end if she is elected?

Does anyone know a website and a television program where Clinton is not bashed unrelentlessly? (I know, naive, that place probably doesn't exist, does it?)

5 million dollars. do you know how many homeless people that would take care of. how dare they go up there and talk about the homeless, the poor children and then go and waste that kind of money. how about some good words about fema, the national guard, etc. for being so efficient in taking care of storm victims in the south. how about a good word for president bush for taking care of business so quickly. i hope i hear some kind words about this. you know if they didn't act quickly we would hear all about it. over and over again.

To all of you Hillary bashers here – especially all of you who think it is so wonderful that Barak Obama has so much more money given to him. Think of this: Just how much more has he got to pay back if he wins? And to whom??? Special interests is my guess. Senator Clinton had my vote last Tuesday – where she won by a very large number over Obama – and she has my vote in November. All you people need to stop the irrational hate of the Clintons. You are all very tiny people.

Wow – I wish I could give myself a 5 million dollar loan.

why only a loan , to her own campaign, everyone else gave money but she can only lendf it to her own campaign, yeah she really cares about america, some people can not afford to donate but they do, supporters don't loan money to her they give it to her what a slap in the face to them

Is she charging interest for the loan?

Some of yall seem to be a bit delusional. She can loan her campaign the money because she knows that she'll get it back. She wanted $3 million in 3 days. She'll get that and then some. Don't let this fool ya. There are plenty of folks sending Hillary donations.

She is overwhelmingly winning the white female vote and Hispanics. And once the pictures start popping up of Jesse Jackson holding his Obama sign, any support Obama was getting from white males will evaporate. They will either vote for Hillary or not vote.

GO HUCKABEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

If a 3 million dollar loan illustrates Hillary's commitment, then WOW, Mitt Romney's 35 million dollar loan means we should just let him have it!

Hillary and Mitt, two flip-floppers in a pod...

It won't be easy for Obama to beat McCain. For sure we will see one more republican administration.

I guess it's time to open up our pocketbooks and contribute to Hillary. Please only if you can afford it. Don't emulate the Obama fanatics who send money even when they can't afford it (I know a couple). Obama has no credentials , no real plans, and takes a lot more influence money than he pretends. He is not qualified at this time to be president.

Hillary didn't allow this information to go public for nothing – she's going for the sympathy vote and trying to make herself look like the underdog

If anyone has seen Obama speech last night ...he started out with saying..that lots of struggle ahead since we are new and we are going to face problems...and going to make lots of mistakes.....and might be unsuccessful lot of times....and there will be lot of learning curve....

the way our country is going on.....I wonder do we need anyone new who is going to make mistakes and disappointments....
I rather have someone experience.....
our country is not in position to go through any experiment at this time...
i am sure in 4 or 8 years he will be more mature.

Super Tuesday proves Hillary is not competitive across America, so how can she say her loan "proves the wisdom of my (her) investment". Looks like a rather poor investment to me. Just shows you how little she knows about economics. Hillary, go back to cattle futures.....with a little insider help, of course!!!!.

This explains why she has started asking for more debates. They are free air time. Obama would be crazy to do any more debates since Hillary is now cash strapped.

Let her apply her thirty five years of experience, and do it the Arkansas, and Huckabee way. Drive around, and Iron her own Pants Suits. Also, tears are great for garnering free TV coverage.

Pace yourself Hillary. It is a long campaign still, and if you shed too many tears too soon, you will run out of nose hairs to pull.

Don't over look the fact that Hillary is promising to restore fiscal responsibility and balanced budgets in Washington.

Since she keeps telling us to judge her on her experience. OK. How does the way she has squandered the huge campaign war chest she had accumulated, and her borrow and spend approach now look to those who want to judge her on how fiscally prudent she would be as President!

I am a woman and frankly disappointed about how every praise for Hillary comes from a woman.

WOMEN THINK WITH YOUR HEADS AND NOT OFF YOUR ESTROGEN LEVELS. HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THE DESPERATION IN THIS? I WAS A HILLARY SUPPORTER BUT NOW FOR OBAMA SIMPLY BECAUSE HIS MOVEMENT WILL ACTUALLY OCCUR.

OBAMA '08

(SPOKEN FROM A FREE-THINKING WOMAN)

Clinton loaned her own 5 million to her campaign, expecting to be paid back by the donation money. If she cannot raise that much money, she will be in a hole. Who will donate to her, knowing it will go into her pocket? She is rich and can have 5 million. She does not need our nick and dime. I am not wealthy. A first time donor in a political campaign, I will continue to donate to Obama $25, $50, whatever I can.

Go Obama. You will be our next president.

Please everyone leave this alone! Just go donate to Obama. This is a ploy for the sympathy vote from women. The more the media and the public talks about this the more it helps her get votes by using sympathy instead of issues. This is a planned ploy. DO NOT FEED THE MADNESS! It will only hurt Obama unfairly in the end.

So rich people donate money to Obama and means he's better????

You all lost me on that one.

I just sent a donation! I think our country deserves the best and most experienced we are offered! She is the only one that knows how to get the job done! Anyone can say they will, but do they know how? We need a President, not a Preacher.

Hillary 08'

Way to go Hillary! Show 'em that millionaires deserve to be president and not poor saps. Wait, you "lent" the money to your campaign. You mean, you can get the money back? How?
MR

She said on Letterman Monday night she had 100 Million !!! Is this another lie??
And how come no one is reporting the Obama actually got MORE delegate votes than she did last night ?? It's true, check it out for yourself.
I donated again to Obama last night, right after his wonderful speech.

Wow... I'm struck by this.

A personal loan on Hillary's part is a major sign of weakness. She's definitely at a money disadvantage now, and this may hurt her chances as Obama moves forward into the other states.

GOGO Obama. Was so happy last night! Making my first contribution ever to a candidate today. I hope my fellow young people do the same. Obama ALL THE WAY!

Hillary will take Ohio and Texas. Hispanics support Hillary and are a huge part of the Texas population Obahma doesn't have a chance. And will raise more than Obahma in Texas. He can take the little states that are not diverse but the big diverse states that make up most of the United States he can't . Oh and remember the world is diverse which Obahma can't seem to do is unite the diversity of people. And will raise more than Obahma in Texas.

Hillary 08'

Yeah, lets force Americans to have Healthcare. And what experience is Hillary and all her loyal supporters touting? I'm sure you don't know, so I'll tell you about it:

The Facts:

Senator Barack Obama
1996-2004 (Illinois State Senator)
2005-2008 (United States Senator)
12 Years of Elected Office Experience

Senator Hillary Clinton
2001-2008 (United States Senator)
7 Years of Elected Office Experience
(FYI – George W. Bush had 6 years in office before the presidency)

Barack Obama is more experienced to be President of the United States.

35 – 7 = 28 years of zero elected office experience for Hillary
Clinton.

Again, what 35 years of experience is Hillary talking about?

Here are the remaining 28 years -

8 Years (Lawyer)
12 Years (First Lady of Arkansas)
8 Years (First Lady of the U.S.)
28 Years of Zero Elected Office Experience

Since when is 20 years of being a first lady relevant experience for
being president?

FINAL ANALYSIS

Senator Barack Obama, Not Only By Virtue Of His Character, Honesty, And
Competence, But Also By Virtue Of His Experience, Is Clearly More
Qualified To Be President Of The United States.

I just donated $40 more to Obama for America, the next President of the United States of America. Educate yourself and join the movement.

Good spin!! She did so because she could not raise enough money. Look at the number of donators, donations, and dollar amount that Obama has. Unthinkable!!

We all know it isn't the money that obama has that has won him so many votes, it is that blacks vote for blacks and that is sad for this country. It's too bad that people do't vote for the most qualified and not even consider the color of your skin or your gender. All of the people that are voting for obama because he is black, know that Senator Clinton is more qualified but they are like sheep that would follow the leader off a cliff. I have nothing against obama and I am definitely not predjudiced. I would vote for obama if he were the most qualified but "sorry folk" he just isn't. Maybe in the future but not now. On the job training was what we had with bush and you see the mess he made, lets not do it again. Lets prove that the American people, white, black, brown or yellow are smart enough to vote for someone qualified, not someone of the same color they are.

she's the best candidate for the job...I just made a donation on her site

GO Hillary GO! Do not listen to the nay sayers. The people that speak the loudest are the ones that lead by example. Keep workin' it!

You Hillary haters are so pathetic. Are you really that jealous that she had just an amazing day yesterday? She's had a huge surge in online donations today just as Barack Obama did after his win in South Carolina. I just donated $100 even though I am only a graduate student. We are just as excited about our candidate as you are about yours. GO HILLARY 08!!

I donated... WE ARE GOING THE DISTANCE BABY! I might not have Oprah's money but its all good!

You may as well steal that like too with the YES SHE CAN.....seing as she has stolen everything else from Obama

Except money of course!!!! hahaha

Shows what 35 yrs of experience will do for you.....nothing!

Ask someone how experienced and how old John F Kennedy was when he took office

OBAMA 08

I like how Hillary's experience of 35 years is composed of 20 years as a First Lady of either Arkansas or in the White House. And then there is her $3 million in 3 days? Pah. Barack Obama got $32 million in 31 days. Lets see her keep it going for a month. HA!

"JACK NICHOLSON ENDORSES HILLARY CLINTON!"
Congrats an inflated ego rich actor endorses her... and you are complaining that this is a story and not that she is low on funds?
"But of course, I wouldn't expect "the educated elite" that votes for Obama to know that"
hmm... and I wonder why we support the people we do...

It sounds like she is trying to pay her way in office. But how in this world can her campaign pay the loan back to her if it is hurting bad enough to get a loan??????People, you need to start thinking straight! No more CLINTONS!

I'm making a big fat donation right now to Hillary's campaign.

Going the way of Romney... downhill.

Just another Multi-millionaire trying to buy the job. Yea she and 99% of the people in this country can REALLY relate! Wake up people.

she will be the best candidate big buisness can buy!!! The rest of us will contribute to the Obama campaign.

Hillary, I was in a accident two weeks ago . But i watch the election until i figured you had it made . You are the best for our country and i am praying for you and your family . I did get a laugh last evening after all the Kennedys and OPRAH wwas out with BAMMY AND YOU WON EDWARD KENNEDYS STATE .BILL CLINTON IS THE BEST PRESIDENT WE HAVE EVER HAD AND HE IS HANDSOME ALSO AND I AM 76YEARS OLD .Tell CHELSEY SHE IS A DOLL. WANDA .

Wow, reading some of the comments here about Hillary I have to wonder if these people are really Republicans or just really mean spirited. If they are an example of what Barack Obama will bring with him I will find it hard, even as a life long Democrat, to vote for him. Tone down the disrespect and open your minds to what each of them have to say. Then vote and keep your hostility to yourselves.

So, is Hillary going to charge her campaign interest? Hopefully she's locking in the new low interest rate.

This is why she wants a debate a week.

She needs the air time that Obama can help her get.

watch out Obama. This woman is capable of doing anything. Just watch your back.

You have my vote and contribution Hillary.

Hopefully, the Obama supporters will wake up and know that the contributions made to his campaign were not from the "little people". The contributions were bundled and made by lobbyists and big corporations.

Hillary has full rights to make a contribution to her campaign.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE UNITY? OBAMA AND HIS SUPPORTERS ARE SHOWING THEIR TRUE COLORS. YOU ARE SO FULL OF HATE, WHICH SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE SINCE WE ARE ALL WORKING TO GET A DEMOCRAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

were are all the donations from the READY TO LEAD FROM DAY ONE MOVEMENT???????

THEY WANT A WOMAN PRESIDENT BUT DON't pay UP?

Barak he can raise money just by asking the American People says alot about how they feel about HILLARY.

PS.

ME and my Wife Just Donated another 200.00 to OBAMA !!!!!!!!

I commend her for her dedication and vision. For her to take that money from her own credit worthiness shows how much she cares about the people she's fighting to represent!

Hillary is fighting not only for change, but for SOLUTIONS!

Hillary '08!

This country better wake up and take a good look at all of the candidates and who is behind them pulling the (Money) string. I love this country, but it scares me to think what is ahead of us for our solders, seniors, not to mention the next generation. of children. Don't be fooled by race or sex, look at the candiates closely. The more I look .... the scarey it become to choose..

Health insurance for all...Yeah lets make everyone pay overpriced insurance companies and fill their pockets that much more. That will make Hillary's private insurance backers happy.

Health insurance for all is a pipe dream at best, but sounds good on the campaign trail.

Oh, and who cares what celebrity endorses who!? If you're dumb enough to vote for someone because an actor says to you shouldn't be allowed to vote anyway.

More evidence that the only major democrats supporting Clinton are...the Clintons!

There are limits to campaign contributions...$2,300 per person. Many of the Hillary supporters have reached that limit but there are many of us who send in money everyday. I have contributed to Obama's campaign as well as Hillary's. Many of us do that.

Why are their ideas of wrong-doing by the Clintons floated on these blogs everyday? Obama has already gotten rid of some of the illegal money he received but you rarely hear about that. You can't buy that kind of positive media, Obama.

Look at the financial difference between the Huckabee and Romney races. Shows you that money isn't everything!

Wasn't Bill Clinton in office when NAFTA was put into place???

this is funny

corporate forces against a movement

the people financed Obama's campaign.

it would be a disaster for the democratic party if Hillary gets the nomination. you can't turn away from a movement as big as this.

There is no spinning this. Bad news for Clinton.

How many lobbyists and special interests out there maxed out in the first few months of the campaign and are now starting to worry about their return on investment?

Can you feel the people taking back their government?

CNN never posts my comments, as if worried that a Latino for OBAMA would destroy the Clintons already hurting reputation amongst other Latinos. But I'll give it another try.

Clearly the Clintons are feeling desperate, at least financially. That's a BIG surprise considering their name recognition and power in Washington as well as other states. That's especially why the fact that Obama has raised more than TWICE as much in donation, is GREAT news.

Even with the help of their Lobbysitst and and big powerful and wealthy special interest groups, the Clintons are still BEHIND. WE, the regular folks, are backing OBAMA. It's refreshing to see that for once principle is winning over power!

Sounds like desperation to me. Perhaps she and Romney can team up.

Hillary is dedicated to the cause...

I will send another contribution today.

She has the experience, the VOTES and the Delegates.

Ted, Kerry, Oprah, Caroline, and many more did nothing for Obama... all that help and work for nothing...

HILLARY 08!

She bankrupted a campaign, so I know she can not financially manage an entire country!

OBAMA '08

Obama's campaign is a movement. The longer he stays viable, the more sure thing he is to be the Democratic candidate in 2008.

How can the Clinton campaign try to spin this as a positive?

Anyway the most important thing is what David Axelrod said last night. "Obama has around 700,000 donors or which only 3 percent are maxed out donation wise." That means that Obama has about 680,000 donors who can still give. That is amazing.

I would love to hear or see Clinton's donor numbers compared to how many are maxed out.

This movement will continue. OBAMA 08

Anybody who thinks the Clinton campaign will run out of money is delusional – they have been entranced by their Obama preacher like speeches.

I wonder if it came from the $31 million the "Clinton Foundation" just got from the Uranium mine deal in Kazahkstan that Bill Clinton said didn't happen until presented with proof and then, as before, his story changed. I think I'll crawl in bed until all this is over and just hope and pray for the best! LuvYa America! Nighty night!!!

Go BV: I like that one, thats funny as hell!

I KNOW ALL OF YOU WILL DISLIKE ME FOR SAYING THIS:

But Women cannot lead this country. They simply cannot. It will be a national disgrace to elect a woman. Barack is a uniter, but Hillary as a woman will divide this world. There are other jobs for women, but not the President of the United States. Think about what happens when she has her "time" of the Month! I WILL ONLY SUPPORT A WHILE MALE OR BLACK MALE FOR THE PRESIDENCY. SORRY. Just my feelings.
Tom

Again...I say we are one party. We operate as a team. How can we put our candidates down or make uncall for comments. So she has money. She is a 60 year old professional woman with many opportunities that she has worked hard for and earned. Stop hating her success. Being blessed is not a crime.

lol O gosh...I VOTED for HIllary and I hope our campaign is going down the drain!

I DONATED 15 bucks today and hope that makes some of a difference :0

Money that no doubt came from Bill's foreign speaking arrangements, which means overseas interests are dictating politics in the US.

Thanks Hillary!

If you love Hillary as much as I do, please contribute whatever you can at hillaryclinton.com. She's the only one for us.
Hillary 08!

HILLARY 08!!!!
Great Job last night! The money will keep coming, NO WORRIES! PA has your back!
HILLARY 08!!!!

Go Hillary! At least she was WILLING to loan her campaign the money... most would be selfish and drop out.

I'm not going to join these other mean comment-makers and "pile on" Mrs. Clinton.

I wouldn't want her to start crying again

I don't like to Hillary bash, since its like shooting fish in a barrel. But if our luck turns, and she is the dem. nominee, then the Republicans will certainly jump on the bandwagon.

These Clinton-hating comments are sickening. People earn money, even while in public life. Poor people can't make it to Washington's high chambers... Obama obviously made a fortune too, while a "public servant"...

Wolf, John King is biased and incompetent. John, please lighten up, not only blacks 're voting for Obama, whites, young people 're all voting including some Latinos as well. Stop the race divide comment.

Obama sees the country as black and white

Hillary sees it as haves and have nots

Obama takes your money

Hillary uses her own

hm....i'd vote Hillary!

I donated to Hillary's campaign today. Keep up the good work Hillary, you're doing awesome for all you're up against! (i.e. media, celebrities, sexism to name a few)

Clinton is amazing! She is smart and would be the best President this country has ever had. I will vote for her when able-I have waited for a women president since the mid-seventies. Too bad Obama has to run now when we finally have a capable wonderful female...

Meanwhile, Obama receives all of his donations from individuals. How can Clinton be running a campaign for the common people while still donating 5 million to herself?

I think it is very upseting to know that she spent 5 million dollars just to compete with a little known Senator. She reminds me of Mitt Romney; trying to buy an election. I will not vote for her in the PA primaries.

How can one manage the national economy and cannot manage her own campaign??? I am puzzled by the irony!

What weak excuse- "The loan illustrates Sen. Clinton's commitment"?????

Wow.

Why is it if Senator Clinton loans her campaign it is viewed as her committment to the cause while if Mitt Romney gifts his own money to his campaign it is viewed as trying to buy the election?

$$$$$$$$ I can't believe the drug companies and other lobbiest are not giving Hillary anymore money ... Seems so unfair I'm sure she would pay you back ... somehow.... isn;t that why they contribute money to begin with

Good Luck Hillary

Best of luck to Hillary! From one mama to another! Chelsea speak up for ur mom!

Ok anthoner Mitt Romney. And were did it get him? NO WERE AND OUT OF THE RACE!!!!

Go OBAMA!!!!!!

Hillary, that doesn't sound like sound fiscal policy.

Clearly Obama is our person to manage this economy.

WOMEN CAN'T LEAD THIS COUNTRY – I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR A WOMAN – GO BARACK!

Can Hillary find a place in Barack's cabinet as director of Health and Human Services?
YES SHE CAN!

Let's all Bash Hillary. It's so much fun.

John McCain has taken out 2 life insurance plans and 10 Million in Loans.

But of course, I wouldn't expect "the educated elite" that votes for Obama to know that.

By the way CNN:

JACK NICHOLSON ENDORSES HILLARY CLINTON!

Of course, no coverage on CNN, because this is not as important as a headliner story such as Hulk Hogan endorsing Obama.

Shame on you cnn.

Yeah, this is not good for Hillary Clinton. Obama raised $32 million in January, and he's expecting $30 million in February. If she doesn't do well on Saturday and Tuesday, she's done.

Hillary is able to get the diversity of the nation to vote. She doesn't see the country only in black and white. She is the only one experienced enough, determined enough, and smart enough to become president. She doesn't go half way on the issues she goes all the way. Health care for ALL! It takes money to get the vote out for Obama, it takes issues to get the vote out for Hillary.

Ha Ha.Desperate times require desperate measures!
So much for the coronation of Hillary.Never expected such a challenge from Obama.She is the brand name and is still unable to put him away.This shows her inherent weakness in her abilities.People can see through her dishonesty and lack of charisma.'35 years of' experience' my foot.

Obama08

Uh, er, hmm... wait, uh.

So, if you have tons of cash, why not pay yourself back OR not "loan yourself the money" at all.

Hmmm...
Let's call an expert for guidance.

Calling Mitt Romney, over.
Mitt, are you there?

God Bless her! She has every talking head, media, radio, blasting her and praising Obama. But yet she can and will fight on. WE are behind her and
now we will all donate more to her. She will be our next President!!!!

Sounds like she should go ahead and drop out. Its the beginning of the end for her.

She's in big trouble.

She is supposed to be the best on economy, how is Obama able to raise that much money in one month! I'm surprised he's knocking the big monolith off her stand, slowly but surely.

Go Obama!!!

Good for her! If I could match it I would!

But... being a small business woman, all I can do is send her $10 every time I make a sale.

how much of the 13.5 million was her own money?

Hillary Money bags are running away as CNN reports.

Obama will raise more money this month than last month. He will also take Ohio, Texas and PA, at the same time get the nomination at the same time.

Old experience is irrelevant today. ( 1992 Bill Clinton)

her Econ stimulus plan fell short. Initially
Voted For the war in iraq
Voted for the war in Iran

Need I say more

Change is here

Obama 08

Hillary is able to get the diversity of the nation to vote. She doesn't see the country only in black and white. She is the only one experienced enough, determined enough, and smart enough to become president. She doesn't go half way on the issues she goes all the way. Health care for ALL!

This race will go on, and every week from now on Obama will continue to rise... very historic and very uplifting. We deserve to feel good about something.

She may be committed, but donors don't seem to be.

wow..and who is gonna pay it back ...if its a loan??

BWHAHAHAHAH! Desperate Times... Desperate Measures...

She "lends" to her campaign and her supporters "give". How insane is that?

*sarcasm* Yeah she cares more about the people. It's about the people. Not the candidate *end sarcasm*

Hillary needs support from her wallet and from her husband. Obama HAS support from the people!!

It's obvious she feels threatened by Obama. The fact that Obama raised twice as much as Hillary shows his strong support. Seems people don't feel so strong about Hillary Clinton.

who does she think she is....mitt romney?

She'll probably 'repay' the loan by jacking up the rent that she charges the federal government to house secret service agents in a separate dwelling on her property (which in the past has reportedly been equal to the mortgage on her entire home property). She made $100,000 on cattle futures from a $1000 investment– I'm sure she'll do just as well on this loan, probably courtesy of US Taxpayer.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ HILLARY'S CAMPAIGN IN FINANCAL TROUBLE $$$$$$

Forced to lend herself $ 5 million dollars . The loan illustrates that she has exhausted her supports and has no propects of new ones .

uh, if you've had "one of [your] best fundraising efforts ever...," then why would you need to loan 5 million to your own campaign?

Wow Clinton... how did you manage to bank $5 million after your "lifetime" of public service experience? I didn't know the Children's Defense Fund paid so much. Oh wait, 10 of your "35 years" was "experience" as a partner for a private law firm. For shame.

hey....Bush is trying to put together a $150 billion economic stimulus package...
wouldnt it be money better spent to give that money to the dems so they can get a (very necessary and helpful) early start on bailing americans out of this disaster ..

we're obviously not going to recover any money from the oil co's or tax revenue from the wealthy, until well after a Dem is elected....

isnt THAT a practical solution to our current disaster?

HA HA HA !

We the PEOPLE finance the OBAMA campaign !!!!

Now more then ever .. I send another contribution tonight !!!

Frank and Family

Wow!! Is it really that bad???

Even though I support Obama, i didn't expect this

Obama claims that Sen. Clintons supporters will vote for him but that his supporters are so closed-minded that they would vote for a Republican instead of Sen. Clinton.

What does that tell you about his campaign?

Just made another donation to Obama.

YES WE CAN!!

That money would have been better spent trying to help the Katrina victims get a new home. I still see people sleeping in tents under the Interstate. We are suppose to be the richest state in the world and its sad to see that people don't have a roof over their heads. I think all campaign financing should come from the American people so that they can have invested into the campaign they believe will lead them in the future. A lot of the special interest groups would start going out of business that way. Hillary STILL takes all this money from special interest groups since she takes lobbyist and corporation money yet she can't catch up to Obama who doesn't take any money from lobbyiest and special interest groups.. That shows the strength of the American people.

Wow! What a shame? Where 're the Washington D C lobbyists...

Why does this matter? Hillary can't even sneeze without you trying to make a story of it. Guess there is nothing about Obama. We have got to start reporting on issues!!!!! I mean issues that matter to our country.

Gotta do what you gotta do when your are chasing a contender...

Obama 08!!

It pays to be wealthy.

Her and Romney spending MILLIONS of their money to get a $400,000 a year job.

Interesting.

Clinton on her website has a campaign for 3 million in 3 days – and is less than one day, she's 1/2 way there!

I'm making a donation on her website right now....She will be a historic change in leadership and the ONE who can take on all the mudslinging that McCain will bring us....and don't you dare think he'll somehow 'go easy' if it's not Clinton.

ALL THE WAY HILLARY !!!!!!!!!

It demonstrates that she is loosing support.

Wow, Obama's raised a lot of money from individuals. More than 250,000 people gave to him in January alone! So now the Clintons are going to use their own funds to propel them to the White House? Ok...

At some point, then, Bill Clinton may regret saying this in Iowa:

"They say you couldn’t stop me from spending all the money I’ve saved over the last five years on Hillary’s campaign if I wanted to, even though it would clearly violate the spirit of campaign finance reform."

What I find interesting is she had more money in the on Jan 1, 08 ( about 15M more than Obama) so when you add up his Jan run of 32M and her 14M he really didn't have a huge cash surplus on her. What we need to know is how much they both spent in the past month. Hillary is also doing an online money run and so far today she has raised 1.5 million in about 24 hours per the email sent out just recently. Money isn't a problem for either side at this point.

Why did Clinton submit bills for the policies she's proposing while in the senate???

It is apparent now who the real monetary beneficiaries of yesterday's electoral contests were, considering that now Clinton and Romney have to loan their campaigns substantial sums of money...

What person, supposedly fighting for the poor for 35 years, has 5 million to "loan" themselves? I wonder what interest rate she is "giving" herself??

I would like to know where Obama got the $32,000,000 to keep running his campaign. Most people in this economy do not have extra money to send to anyone, and I find it interesting that he was able to raise that amount of money in such a short period of time. Who are some of his contributors? I understand that his campaign is spending one million ($1,000,000) dollars per day, isn't that what Romney is spending. But, we all know where Romeny is getting his money.

Just curious.

It is interesting Terry McAuliffe, former DNC chair and Clintonista, said yesterday that she would not want for resources, ever. He never mentioned that she did this- that she lent her campaign $- I think he set up the DNC- the superdelegates put in place etc-in order to set up this race for her specifically to win, it is getting really disturbing.

White people don't want to be seen as racists so they have to tell pollsters they voted for Obama. This explains why we should do away with Caucuses. It doesn't give people privacy to vote.
Whites don't want to be seen as racists so they have to vote for Obama. While black people can't be touch in this country, thus blacks vote for black and black only. Look at all the lily-white state caucuses, all win by Obama. If whites could vote with privacy, I believe Hillary would win hands down.
It's sad that race has come into play in this election. what a double standard! People should consider issues and experiences than race or coolness. I'm sicken by this media/people bias that they have to be cool and progressive by voting black.

I guess Obama has given her a run for her money. What does it say about the electability of a candidate that has let a new junior senator rise up and break even with her in the primaries? There is a gigantic revolution against Clinton and her coniving and old style politics. This revolution is costing her tremeously while Obama sails along.

Please Hillary. Give up now, while you can still save some face, just like you did with Healthcare in the 90's. Give up now, and it won't look that bad. Maybe Obama will pick you as VP and we can stand as one united party long before the GOP. You will still have a chanc to make history, not to mention you won't spend yourself broke.

The choice is yours Senator Clinton. OBAMA 08!!!!!!

Money can't cure what the creator didn't give ya, Hilly. That would be integrity, authenticity, character, truthfulness, equanimity and dignity. Need I go on? What you do behind closed doors does matter and your corrupt and well documented history speaks for itself. You can't buy honor and respect. Ever notice how none of the words above have EVER been used in the same sentence as ANY Clinton. Try googling that! End of story.

I thing to sink further money in the Clintons campaign is useless.

Obama is increasing daily his percentage of attraction, he has equalled already
Hillary both in votes and elected delegates. To rely on the superdelegates is
an illusion, as if Hillary is nominated against the will of the voters, half of the
democrats will not support her in November.
And of course, to imagine that the votes if Florida and Michigan will be validated
is to believe in ghosts.

And additionally:

- now that Obama has shown that he is real will convince many still skeptic
promary voters to support him
- and as Richardson and Edwards will be happy to join the winner, one or both
will endorse him

TOM

Does anyone want to talk about the fact that in 2007 alone Obama spent 83.5 million compared to Hillary's 77 million (according to opensecrets.org). He also probably has out spent her by a simliar amount in January.

This clearly explains her challenging Obama to weekly debates. Free air time is hard to come by otherwise.

Obama folks, don't gloat... think of it as a reason to work harder, make more calls, canvas more fervently.

The same people who voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004 are the same people who voter for Billary in CA. and N.Y. Just plain ignorant! Ignorant people should have the right to vote taken away from them. They cause more harm than good. See you in the soup line behind Juan, Lupe, Chang, and Phuong.

Uh ho ho. The campaign is running out of Money.

Are you an obama suporter? Whenever Hillary loans x millions to her campain, I suggest each Obama supporter donate x amount.

For instance, she loans $5 million to her campain, each obama supporter donate 5 dollars.

Yes, we can.!

Full transparency would have dictated she told all her voters this sometime before YESTEDAY. shame on you Hillary

Lets Be careful with The Clinton's and money.... Remember they Cheat!!! she is going to court on Feb. 21 in California for Electoral Fraud!!! Remember the Peter Paul lawsuit??
She doesn't have the money to go on... she is going to ask for more to the Special Interests....
I am going to vote more Money to Barack Obama Right NOW

wow!!! when this all started some poeple thought that clinton would have no problems raising money hand over fist.

"The loan illustrates Sen. Clinton's commitment to this effort and to ensuring that our campaign has the resources it needs to compete and win across this nation," Wolfson said in a statement. "

If that's the case – Mitt Romney should be cannonized for his "commitment" to his campaign since he's shelled out $35 million. Fact is... the USS Hillary is running out of steam. Obama raised $32 Million and Hillary is taking personal loans.

I love how this "news" comes out AFTER the Super Tuesday Primary.... typical Clinton.

I wish Hillary all the best !!! She deserve to win a nomination.

wow this sounds like a problem for hillary ! gotta go and donate to obamas campaign

Let's Go Hillary....Come on Hillary supporters....DONATE. America will thank you when she is the next president!

Hey Howard way to spin it...what it actually means is that the Queen is out of campaign money. My guess is that Hillary's donors will hit the cap on political donations and the campaign will fizzle. Too bad though, she ran a good race.

HAH everyone who now donates to her will just be putting money into her pockets... does this mean she really only raised $8.5m last month? Pathetic. I donated to Obama again today, and will again this weekend and again next week. Obama will have another huge fund-raising month in February, and will sweep the next 7 states.

Our time is now.

And this is acceptable how?

Doesn't it go against all concepts of campaign finance reform? How do we know where Hillary's money came from? What's to stop some corporate interest from paying a candidate money for some service obstinately rendered, then having said candidate kick those funds into his or her campaign?

Totally unnacceptable.

GOOD! THIS MEANS WE ARE READY TO GO HILLARY!!!!!! I AM SURE THAT YOU WILL RAISE WHAT YOU NEED NOW!!!!!! SINCE YOUR WIN!!!!! IT IS OFF TO OHIO AND PENNSYLVANIA! AND ALL OTHER STATES! WE CANNOT FORGET YOUR FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN WIN! HOW CONVENIENT OF CNN TO NOT MENTION THAT!!!!!!! AND YOU WILL GET OBAMA VOTES NOW I AM SURE! YOUR EXPERIENCE HAS PAID OFF! I AM THRILLED! I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT DEBATE I THINK YOUR NUMBERS GO UP EVERY TIME! CONGRATULATIONS HILLARY!!!!!! VOTE FOR A WINNER---- VOTE HILLARY CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama raises $32 million from mainly small donors, without taking money from lobbyists and PACs. Clinton takes that money, and still needs to fund herself. Is that democracy in action?

Wow this is huge. The Clinton's money machine has already squeezed their donors and those of us supporting Obama are just waiting till payday to invest in our campaign.

I find it ironic that the Clintons are being outspent and out raised by someone with a far more ethical stance about donations. Not only did Obama raise 32 million in January he did it with donations from 270,000 new donors like myself.

The Clintons are running a campaign, Obama is leading a movement.

Hillary:
You have my vote and my contribution.

I know you will be the President of the United States of America. You are an inspiration and a great role model.

Keep up the fight. We are with you all the way....

Super Tuesday victory?!?! last time i checked, the race is neck and neck...let's not get ahead of ourselves clinton!

Maybe Bill Clinton will finally come clean on what foreign companies and countries are paying him millions of dollars a year since they now are funding his wife's presidential campaign.

I guess that no one else wants to contribute to her campaign.

I just sent another donation to Obama today.

I smell trouble. This is what happens when you go against a movement. The people win over special interest groups.

Ummm can she loan me 5 million?

Hillary will do anything to get to that White House ! It is her turn to rule the country !!

Bush Snr Ruled, Bill Ruled, Bush Jnr Ruled, HILLARY MUST NOW RULE !!

This is how our democracy works !!

HILLARY WILL RULE !
HILLARY MUST RULE !

Hillary 08

Wow. To all Hillary supporters! STOP TALKING START DONATING!

"The Romney of the Democrats"

Seems like she the only person buying her candidacy.

OBAMA 08'

Uh oh !!! her money's lookin' funny !!!!

Obama will continue to make it rain on them !!!

Obama in '08

Hillary is able to get the diversity of the nation to vote. She doesn't see the country only in black and white. She is the only one experienced enough, determined enough, and smart enough to become president. She doesn't go half way on the issues she goes all the way. Health care for ALL!

HILLARY 08!

She's in trouble, the longer the campaign the more trouble

Obama supporters are going to say this shows how desperate she is (it does) and Hillary supporters are going to claim that CNN is biased against the Clintons (they're not - this IS news...if it were Obama everyone would be ALL over it, claiming impending doom for his campaign).

Come on people we need to donate to Hillary, she shouldn't have to loan her campaign money, if you can vote for her you should be able to donate to her campaign, she will need money to campaign in ohio and texas

there's nothing wrong for having a loan...what's this all about CNN? another crap...
