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

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

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).

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

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!

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

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

Obama in '08

Seems like she the only person buying her candidacy.

OBAMA 08′

"The Romney of the Democrats"

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

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

Ummm can she loan me 5 million?

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

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

I just sent another donation to Obama today.

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.

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

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….

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.

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?

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

"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.

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

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

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

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.!

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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!!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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??

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…

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

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.

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."

It demonstrates that she is loosing support.

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 pays to be wealthy.

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

Interesting.

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

Obama 08!!

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.

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

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.

Just made another donation to Obama.

YES WE CAN!!

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?

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

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?

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.

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?

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

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

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.

who does she think she is….mitt romney?

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.

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

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*

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

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

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.

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 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

how much of the 13.5 million was her own money?

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.

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!!!

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

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!!!!

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Clearly Obama is our person to manage this economy.

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

Go OBAMA!!!!!!

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

$$$$$$$$ 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

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?

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

Wow.

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

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.

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?

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…

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)

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!

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.

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"…

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

Thanks Hillary!

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

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.

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

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

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!!!

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

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

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

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

OBAMA '08

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!

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

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!

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?

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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..

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!

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 !!!!!!!!

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.

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

This is why she wants a debate a week.

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

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

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.

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 .

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

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.

Going the way of Romney… downhill.

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

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!

"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…

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!

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

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!!

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!

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

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.

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!!

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.

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′

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!

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.

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.

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

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′

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

You all lost me on that one.

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.

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.

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)

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!

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!!!!.

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.

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

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.

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

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…

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!!!!

Is she charging interest for the 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

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

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.

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.

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?)

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?

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.

Just gave my money to Obama this morning!

Obama 08′.

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

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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

Dream Team

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,

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.

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…

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!

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

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.

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!!!!

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.
