(CNN) - Hillary Clinton’s campaign said Friday it had raised more than $8 million online since polls closed in California, and nearly $10 million since February 1.

In a conference call with reporters, Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson also said much of that money had come from roughly 75,000 new donors.

Wolfson added that the campaign will be able to spend roughly as much on television ads in upcoming contests as Barack Obama’s campaign – despite the fact that the Illinois senator has been on the air in states that vote over the next few days since well before the Super Tuesday votes.

Clinton’s campaign will begin airing ads today in states voting over the next few days, and will purchase airtime in Texas and Ohio next week.

Holly from Kansas City– You should read more closely. The 75,000 number means NEW donors to the campaign. 75,000 NEW people have donated for the FIRST TIME to Hillary's campaign since Super Tuesday. Obviously they don't represent the total number of people who have donated.

Van   February 9th, 2008 10:04 am ET

Can someone explain what it means to 'loan' your own campaign money? Does this mean that after people donate to her compaign she can take that money out of the campaign and reimburse herself with the donated funds? Also, where did she get $5 million to loan to herself?

NObama   February 9th, 2008 10:03 am ET

yes SHE can!!!
no HE can't!!!

Gerald   February 9th, 2008 9:50 am ET

Memo to Holly – you have a calculator in your computer. $8,000,000 divided by 75,000 is roughly $106 per person. Fuzzy math accompanied by fuzzy logic – you must be a Republican.

Obama is the light of American dreams. He has the potential to uplift the image of America and negotiate with enemies. America need peace and Obama is the right person to do that. As you said "Obama", America need change, I am sure many do not understand some of the changes you refer to. Here I will outline them for those who do not know. Firstly, over the past 20 years, America presidential power has been in the hands of two (Bush Cliton Bush), is this not enough? What are the bush Cliton Bush Cliton doing in the white house? Americans wake up from domancy, it is time for a change. Vote for the light, the truth and the way. These light, the truth and the way is Obama.

DT   February 9th, 2008 9:42 am ET

Close your eyes and picture a white Obama. Now would you still vote for McCain?

You are soooo wrong in you story telling of Hillary ,of all those republican engineered scandals in a court of law she was cleared completely. She is a lawyer and she has done no wrong. This has been the result of all the republican lying paid for by Richard Mellon Scaife. So why don't you get your fact straight before you start acting like the holier than thou priestor nun what are you.

ALL this stuff about Obama winning can't you read right here on cnn they show her ahead 96 delegates.

I am a life-long democrat but I will never vote for Obama. His speeches are getting more and more negative towards Hillary. So much for his promise of a positive campaign. He is too much of a lightweight with no substance. I just won't vote if he gets the nomination!

pam,s.c.   February 8th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

mrs. clinton release yours and bill's tax returns and let the poor and uneducated who support you see how you made your fortune.

Love you guys for supporting Hillary! Let’s keep it going and please get the word out. I am doing my part in Los Angeles and have had great results; approximately 500 people went online last night.

CALIFORNIA FOR HILLARY!

Marita Santos   February 8th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

Hillary Clinton is the best contender for the democratic party for the presidential race. I 'm surprised that Ms. Caroline Kennedy is comparing her father to Mr. Obama. I think she is out of her mind.
I regretted I had voted for Mr. Kerry on last election. He is supporting Mr. Obama who has no experience to be the president of the United. States. I also think these democratic officials who endorsed Obama are jealous of Mrs. Clinton just in case she be elected for the highest position of the land.

Christine Atlanta, Ga.   February 8th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

I have given $100 a day to Hillary since Super Tuesday, and today threw in another $50. Go Girl.

Conservative   February 8th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

If CNN posts this I will give another $ 1000 to HRC
I just donated to HRC $ 1300. My other $ 2300 goes to McCain. I am so pumped up. Why lie Osama will be hard to beat but HRC will be cake walk.
I know CNN will not post this but. There is a movement and She will win the democarats nomination but not the White House.

Joseph   February 8th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

I think that you Clinton Koolaid drinkers need to go to Google and search "Hillary Clinton Scandal".

Read a few of the posts and articles. Don't worry about reading all of them, it will November before you finish, there's just too many.

After you get done ask youself, "Is this who I want to elect to the highest office of the land (again since the Clinton's refer to Bill's terms as a 'co-presidency')?"

She is a megalomaniac without any sense of culpability and will do and say anything to get back to the White House. She doesn't care about the country she cares about herself.

Bill Clinton was worse than either Bush as president. Hillary will be worse than Bill, mark my word.

What will all of the Hillary supporters say if she wins the nomination and somehow beats McCain(not likely) then does not get anything significant done in 4 years ?? What will you say then ??

We will say the same if Obama wins and does not do a thing which he won't he is all talk. Dumb question.

To all those Obama lovers. Peace and Love Man. Far out. There is a lot of cleaning up to do after George W. We don't need a novice as president. Go Hillary!

Dusacre   February 8th, 2008 4:49 pm ET

Donate, Donate! Why?

The Clintons have millions of dollars. Last year alone the Clintons made over $20 millions dollars. Clinton’s daughter who is still single makes a n six figure income. Why should the Clintons not put at least $10 millions of their own money in their campaign? Clinton (Bill) has made all that money on the back of the Americans people because as a former president, people pay for his speeches. Major businesses in the Middle East send millions to the Clintons. Why should working Americans send money to the Clintons? Sending money to Obama makes more since he is relatively (to the Clintons) Obama makes less.

Most of you are using your credit cards to send your $100, $500, $1000 etc to the Clintons who have a net worth of 60 millions dollars?

GO HILLARY! GO!

I GAVE YOU A DONATION AND YOU WILL GET MORE! YOU'RE THE BEST! OBAMA IS FULL OF HOT AIR, NO TRACK RECORD AND CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT IN THE KITCHEN!

WHEN IS HE GOING TO STOP THE FLOWERY RHETORIC AND GET DOWN TO FACT, FIGURES, BASICS AND THE 'KNOW HOW' DRIVE TO GET THE JOB DONE.

AND HE DOESN'T WANT ANYMORE DEBATES, BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE CAN'T DELIVER ON HIS FLOWERY SPEECH! EXPERIENCE IS EVERYTHING IN TURNING THIS PAST 7 YEAR GOP FIASCO AROUND!

proud of hillary and her supporters   February 8th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

ron says he donated 1000 to obama last month, 1000 this month, and 1000 every month in the future. the max allowed by law is 2300, so i guess ron is saying he's breaking the law.

i'll donate to hillary until i get to the max, 50 or 100 at a time. then after she gets the nomination, i can legally donate another 2300. and i will. and i'm the world's biggest cheapskate. but this is too important.

Bill Gates   February 8th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

Nancy in WA   February 8th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

I watched Hillary this morning in Tacoma and watched about 10-15 minutes of Obama in Seattle just to see what all the hype is about him. I don't know what the hype is around Obama he says nothing different than Hillary as a matter of fact i think that she sounds alot more caring then he does he sound like he is reading off a prompt. I really think that he takes some of her ideas and tries to make them his.

And I too believe that the media is all Obama and have been since day one!!!!!!!!

Go Hillary   February 8th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

Florida and Michigan SHOULD count, they are americans too last time I checked! It is crazy that they cannot count. All the candidates were on the ballot in Florida, Hillary and other was on in Michigan. She won both, are we just going to ignore all these tax paying citizens? At our peril I think! We need those states in the general election and they will be none too pleased to be ignored and not involved in the process to even come out and vote. Big issue there. Do not penalize the voters for the actions of a few, it is does not make sense and is unconstitutional in my eyes.

Real Democrat   February 8th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

Let's see. Afraid to debate so that spending advantage means better chance to win primaries. Disenfranchise 1.7 million Florida Democrats and many more in Michigan because that was against the DNC rules, but try to change the DNC rules at the convention so that super delegates cannot vote (I guess that the rules are only to be enforced when they favor you). Really sounds like the "new politics."

Praise John Edwards to the sky, but make sure not to mention that his health care plane is just like Hillary's and his vote on the war resolution was the same as Hillary's. Never seemed to mention that. Obama seems to duck debates because he actually has to answer questions about policy.

Benjamin   February 8th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Seriously...Obama supporters don't unite anything, except themselves to spew hate against anyone else.

He is running on popularity only, like a high school presidential campaign.

GO HILLARY

YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anthony   February 8th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

She'll only lose to McCain because of you bigots who say you will vote for McCain over Hillary. Otherwise, the smarter democrats will rally around whoever the democratic nominee is.

Still can't believe the idiocy on these forums.

Patty   February 8th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

Obama is a chain smoker...what an example....sounds like an addictive personality...Hillary you are the BEST candidate by far...don't listen to the naysayers they don't have the facts.

ken   February 8th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

Just donated $500 to Hillary's campaign. She's a remarkable woman and a fighter. If Obama gets teh Democratic nod for the nominee I'll vote McCain in Nov. No novice in the White House!!

Richie   February 8th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

The reason why she raised 16 million last month and has already raised about 10 million this month is because a lot of us didn't know she needed the money for the campaign, like myself.I'm donating money now and I will be donating more later. I have already heard from my friends that are also supporting her that they will be making their first donations. I'm awake, and I'm not foolish enough to think by making a speech a change can happen without working for it, or just showing up. It needs leadership and Hillary Clinton is the right one.
If Obama get's the nomination, I will NOT vote for him unlike all the media is saying tat the Hillary supporters will go to him. I won't.

Hillary Clinton 08!!!!!!

Help Us Obama   February 8th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

Clinton voted for the McCain-Feingold campaign finance legislation in 2002, and nevertheless has 20 lobbyist-bundlers aiding her campaign, according to the Public Citizen report.

San from Chicago   February 8th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

Hey Holly from Kansas,
You are sure a math genius.. it is 75000 new donors that does not mean all the new funding came only from these new donors.. so before you show us your math skills , check your facts.. by the way..
I have never donated to any political candidate but I am sure sending my donation to Clinton.. Tired of " Yes we can change " slogan without any substance.

Viktoriya   February 8th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

It was surprise for Obama supporters that Hillary can raise money from regular people so quickly. Yes, we are staying by her.
Also she got GRET endorsement from Woopi Goldberg, who was supporting Obama, but now is supporting Hillary. Whoopi explain that Hillary was the first candidate to propose taking tax breaks away from companies that ship jobs overseas.
People are much smarter, than “yes we can”.

Mary   February 8th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

All this money makes me sick. Both Obama and Clinton.
Just think of how many homeless vets we could have fed for 8 million dollars.
It's all about the money. Shame on all of you.

Against the Cult   February 8th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

I really really wanted to see the Democrats back in the white house. However, Obama has ruined this election for the democrats. Because of the media circus surrounding his cult following, whether Hillary or Obama win the nomination, a republican will be the next president.

Independent   February 8th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

No matter what CNN does or say Hillary is decreasing and she will lose to Obama.

Paul   February 8th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Hey folks: Look at the hatred all the Obama supporters are spewing out. That tells you a lot about the person they are supporting, as he comes to us in the guise of political messiah who transcends politics, but is actually a false idol who will, I believe, cause much harm to the USA. I don't vote for idols invented by the media and Oprah. I'll vote McCain.

Melanie   February 8th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Holly the Obama fan must not be a math major–8 million divided by 75,000= about $106 average donation. $50 was from me, and I'll send more if I have to! Also, that is 75,000 NEW supporters, it doesn't include the previous support. I will vote for Obama if he is the nominee, but it is time for a woman to be the president, and all of the attacks on Clinton will simply backfire, as they did in New Hampshire.

Amy in Iowa   February 8th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Most of the donations are from Republicans. There is a conservative campaign to get her nominated because she will lose against McCain.

enough is enough   February 8th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

There aren't enough Latinos or Asians in the world to beat McCain if Hillary is the Dem. nominee. McCain will win, because all whites conservative or not will see to that.

JA Cook   February 8th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

What a shame that our decision on the next President boils down to money races and news reports that are barely more than scorecards.

We're tired on rich guys spending lavishly to get themselves elected and of attack ads and spin, yet we're jumping right into the mud ourselves and perpetuating the circus atmosphere.

Where's a real discussion about issues?

How many of the people wanting health care know the real differences in what's being proposed? How many know what the conservative's philosophy about the environment is?

Let's all pursue a better level of discussion and thought. When the scores are all added up, we will live for years with the results.

Ann Independent Media,PA   February 8th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

32 million, major endorsements, media hype and Senator Obama still took 2nd. I guess he should take back that Mitt Romney comment that he made during the last debate.
Should have checked the applications for past emloyment experience for staffers and advisors...and do some rehiring. OOPS my bad expirience not required, will train the right candidate.

Joan   February 8th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

1) Where does Hillary get $5 million? She was First Lady, and Senator, and I didn't know that paid that well. This money should be investigated.

2) I think the "cash crunch" was another linton ploy to get sympathy and paly the "Expectations game"

I don't trust the Clintons. Too sneaky.

Deann   February 8th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

I talk to the peoples regarding comparing the choice of Hillary or Obama, they said: IF unfortunately, as because the special interest group and party they did something in favor Obama, ALL they are going to vote Republican McCaine for president rather than Obama, because all they know Obama's ability is worse than the current president Bush, we have no time to play game and let the error and mistake happen in our country again, WE CAN NOT TAKE the high risky cost for training. If the democratic special interest group or party in favor of Obama, it means telling American people what the intention they are… But the real American citizens will choice the best way to vote for the commitment to protect our country as need.

matthew   February 8th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

Wow. So much hatred from Obama supporters. That doesn't sound like the "politics of hope" to me...more like "politics as usual"!

I was one of the people who donated to Hillary for the first time. And I will be donating again. Obama's true colors have started to come out, and it's hurting him.

Let's go Hillary!

O My!   February 8th, 2008 4:17 pm ET

The big issue is not how much money, it's where the money is coming from. Hillary gets her money from special interest groups, the few in the population that can give the max, and oh yeah...herself. This just in! Hillary Clinton is endorsing (drum roll) herself! What a narcicist. Obama gets his support (donations) from the people that matter, American voters of all ages, races, economic status, religions, and genders. When he is President of the United States he only owes America favors.

I am an American voter and I approve this message.

RichmondVAgal   February 8th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

HOLLY,,, you need to take a math lesson..It averages out to about $106 (One Hundred and six dollars in case you don't understand!) That is the average, so some may have gave $10 and some may have gave more than $1000. What's the problem? I don't see one!

Fake tears twice, before 2 important primaries, manipulation by making you think she was broke. How stupid and ignorant can you be? I think it is time for a woman president and also time for a Multi-racial president. Not this woman this time. GO OBAMA!!

jJust because you are women does not mean you have to vote for a Woman with all the baggage, corruption, scandals, etc. NOT THIS TIME!!!

ABB   February 8th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Think-FL: Can you substantiate those numbers that you state? You KNOW that that many people HATE Hillary? Where do the numbers that are reported from the caucuses coming from? Why is this the close race that it is?
Just because you might have enough dislike for Hillary for two people, doesn't mean that everyone else has that kind of feeling. Get a grip, and start to think a little more clearly. You Hillary haters have become an embarrasment to any thinking voters.

John Smith,TX   February 8th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

Hillary we are beyong you.I just donated $100.00 and I am very proud. People let send her some money for the cause. anything you got please supporte the cause. Obama is bragging for his war chest in money. Hillary is the real deal folks. The real democrats support Hillary.

DONATE .....DONATE.........DONATE....FOR OUR FUTURE!!!

Tired   February 8th, 2008 4:12 pm ET

Tired of uninformed saying Obama has no policies. They are on his homepage, and several other public websites.

Tired of people fawning over the "me" candidate, instead of the "we" candidate.

Tired of people who think anyone who doesn't like Hillary dislikes women, or doesn't want a woman in office. Maybe we just don't like her?

Tired of the people who support people and policies they obviously don't understand, and make this clear when they try to talk about them.

Tired of people believing every stupid rumor that bashers try to spead about Obama.

Tired of the fighting that occurs because the feral tactics from the get-go by Clinton has brought out the defensiveness in the Obama supporters, in spite of the attempts to keep it civil. If someone calls someone you trust bad names long enough, you're going to start returning the favor.

Tired of people talking about Obama's lack of experience, and then talking about how much Hillary has. Neither of them has been president before, and nothing can prepare you for that. They have ex-presidents and ex-VPs to advise them, but its still not the same.

Ynot19   February 8th, 2008 4:12 pm ET

Anthony.. Very good point..some of the arguments are amazing along with being incorrect. You are correct, both are very good candidates and if we Dems remain devisive til the end, McCain should thank them during his victory speech. I was undecided; however, the reality of how the "Clintons" will energize the GOP and that McCain will win the independents is just too much to vote for HIllary. Remember we are trying to win a presidency not a Democratic nomination... I am voting for Obama

Clinton/Obama '08   February 8th, 2008 4:11 pm ET

As of the end of 2007, total contributions from Pharmaceutical/Health Industries (according to the Center for Responsive Politics):

Hillary Clinton: $349,270
Barrack Obama: $337,525

Also, $8 million divided by 75,000 is about $107 each, not exactly the $11,000 somebody claimed.

Presumably, CNN runs ads for her because her campaign paid for them. How difficult is that to understand?

LAURA   February 8th, 2008 4:11 pm ET

I have hope and dreams everyday! But so far they have not paid my bills, put food on the table, given me Health Insurance, a good job and a good economy and peace in the world. The candidate that can deliver my daily needs is Senator Clinton. She knows how we are hurting and has the best solutions ready to start on day one when she takes office as our President!

Cali   February 8th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

Jeff of Alabama asked who donated to Obama. This white 42-year-old female did and will continue to do so.

And for D Louisiana, the only way Hillary seems to be able to win many states, such as California, is because so many people there voted early, which I find wrong. What happened to voting absentee because you were going to be – ummmm – absent?

WAY TO GO, GIRL!!!
WE LOVE YOU!!!!
I donated $110 yesterday....I should however admit that this was my first donation to her, although I have been a long time supporter of her. Will donate more in near future if necessary. My frat brothers are also rooting for her and some of them have donated in the past 2 days.
Obama is fake...who only talks big words but has NOTHING to prove for. He gets all his money from shady dealings of his own, like Rezko. He bought his Chicago house for $300,000 below market price..can you belive that???
We want HIllary!!!!!

Kevin, Evansville, IN   February 8th, 2008 4:08 pm ET

I've seen several people from other countries mention how much they wish they could vote for Hillary. I think that means more than anything that we shouldn't!

Mike, CA   February 8th, 2008 4:08 pm ET

So Obama wants Hillary to release her tax records? Okay. How about Obama releasing his? Of course, any records he releases will be bogus because the hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions he received from Exelon, Rezko, and lobbyists will have been expunged. Hope information from the investigation into the political favors he gave in return for campaign contributions (in Illinois and national election) will come out soon.

Peace   February 8th, 2008 4:07 pm ET

Whatever money she gets mean nothing, Wait if at all she will be the nominee. Repubs will grill her until no single drop of fluid will be left in her body.

Jason   February 8th, 2008 4:06 pm ET

How does it make any sense for a Clinton or Obama supporter to vote for McCain if their candidate isn't the nominee? Their positions are so close together that it makes almost no difference, where as McCain would continue with many of the policies democrats hate so much from the Bush administration, from reckless tax cuts to conservative partisans on the Supreme court. Campaign and contribute to the democrat you prefer but don’t be stupid enough to lose site of the real competition with the republicans in November.

Pam in Medford   February 8th, 2008 4:05 pm ET

You guys have it all wrong...this economy and healthcare situation is dire, and effects me personally and I gave $20 to Hillary because I had to do something to help her win. I am not a "corporate donor", and have never done this in the past.

She may be a political animal, but she cares and has knowledge about what we're we dealing with. That knowledge will help her actually get something done in the jungle that is Washington, DC.

Alex   February 8th, 2008 4:05 pm ET

To the dork that "did the math" and found it odd that H raised $8mil from 75,000 - they didn't say she raised that amount of money from THOSE new 75,000, dummy. They said she raised the $8 mil. Then, separate point, they got 75,000 new donors. There are already existing donor besides those new ones. Do the thinking, hater.

Shawna RN in California   February 8th, 2008 4:04 pm ET

I have never donated to a presidential candidate before. I sent money to Hillary's campaign and asked all my friends and Colleagues to do the same. If Obama wins I will vote for republican. Obama has Opra maybe Hillary needs Martha....lol

Ken   February 8th, 2008 4:04 pm ET

Go Hillary! Virginia is for Hillary!

I donated today for the first time also and will continue to donate to Hillary's campaign.

Mark's statement below is correct about Obama's remarks...."Being right from day one" and later also stated "You can't always be right". Obama needs to be called on this one!

VOTE for Hillary!

proud of hillary and her supporters   February 8th, 2008 4:04 pm ET

i'm one of the new donors. am quite a cheapskate and have never donated to a political campaign before, but am doing it now. and every time i see another of those attack jobs on cnn or msnbc and now abc too i'm going to donate more. i think we need to send a strong message that hillary is the best person for the job AND that the media don't get to decide elections, we do!

Ohio for Hillary   February 8th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

Hillary Clinton is a woman that all women should be inspired by! Never gives up! She's used to all the attacks, women in this country have to work twice as hard then men do. She will give her heart and soul to make this country great again! It's time that we listen to the solutions each candidate has on issues. I have listened to Senator Obama and all I hear is cheer, cheer and no solutions. America deserves more than that. Hillary is the right choice!

samyr   February 8th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

If the amount of Money raised or spent was the direct indication of who will be the nominee, Romney would have been the first to get nomination. He spent $35 mi of his own and see what happened. He dropped out. People its not the money but the inspiration and intellect of Barack Obama which is moving people ahead. He is making positive impact in the people lives and He will be the next President of this great country.

John   February 8th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

Hillary will the president. Obama no way. He needs more training and experiences.

Stephan   February 8th, 2008 4:02 pm ET

good for you Davide! Now learn to spell McCain!

Obama Supporter   February 8th, 2008 4:01 pm ET

Bev, Houston   February 8th, 2008 4:00 pm ET

Sharon,

Look at MSNBC – it also shows Obama ahead.

Poor, misguided, uneducaed people who make up the Hilary supporters.

Excuse me – Hill/Billy supporters.

Ron   February 8th, 2008 3:59 pm ET

I just donated $1000 to Obama. Thats $1000 last month, $1000 this month and at least $1000 each month from here on out.

Does anyone think Hillary will start paying her people now that the pity party brought in so much money? Or, will she keep the funds for herself?

wait a minute   February 8th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

If Bill made 40 millions from his speech circuit, why can't they donate at least one million dollars to their own campaign? Instead, their 5 millions was a loan to their campaign. She called it an investment with an expected return.

Why does Hillary have come out asking for money from us, who cannot even make (not save) one million in our life time?

Think about it before you hit that donate button!

Midwesterner   February 8th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

Does anyone wonder how someone who only raised 16 million in the entire month of January suddenly can raise huge amounts (10 million in 7 days)? How odd is that? Considering Clinton's 'base', I would think it would be hard for her to come up with that kind of money so quickly.... maybe it's listeners of Rush Limbaugh ...

Russell   February 8th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

And,

If Hillary does not get the nomination and Obama does, I will not vote for the MOST LIBERAL Senator in the U.S. Senate.

Hillary is a Moderate (#36th most liberal) according to the study.

I am a Moderate Republican, I vote Hillary or McCain.

Take it to the bank.

donnajp   February 8th, 2008 3:55 pm ET

I will vote for Hillary Clinton or John McCain but not Barack Obama – he does not have enough experience to deal with the problems facing our next president.

Think - FL   February 8th, 2008 3:54 pm ET

Jeff, I and 400,000 other people that are sick of politics of 'ole such as McCain and Hillary. They're in bed with anyone that'll pay them big money.

It floors me that millions of people are blind to the Clintons ways. What are you looking at? All anyone does is tout their experience (which is proven overinflated) or offer up some completely baseless statement like "She's the best" or "Hillary is our leader".

What are you guys going on? Seriously... I'd love to see what it is that is driving you all so fervently.

Martin   February 8th, 2008 3:54 pm ET

Careful all you Hillary donors. Your money will prob just be used to repay Hillary's loan. If you want your money to end up in Hillary's bank account, donate!

Bob   February 8th, 2008 3:54 pm ET

Hey, I have some medical bills, 'cause I have health insurance, but it sucks... if you love healthcare so much, how about throwing a little of that $8 million this way?

Jon   February 8th, 2008 3:53 pm ET

Why doesn't Obama agree to a debate about the issues? Because the campaigns are debating about who is raising more money. It's just childish. Both of them, and the Obama camp started it.

Just have a debate like you did in New Hampshire, Nevada, California....

RT   February 8th, 2008 3:52 pm ET

PD, "why hasn't CNN called Obama out for his comment that the opposition's "claws have come out." That is so degrading to women, and, yet, he gets away with this stuff time and time again."

How is the phrase "claws have come out." degrading to women? And when has Obama ever said anything else that would infer so???

Brandy TF   February 8th, 2008 3:52 pm ET

I am also a new donor to Hillary's campaign. I believe that she is an inspiration to all of America. The Obama campaign states that he is ready on day one and also right on day day. However, its easy to be right on day one when you were not in the position to vote against the war. Hmmmm! I guess everyone can be right from day one if we go by those standards!!!!!! Hillary please keep fighting for change in America!! Thank you!!!

Zach   February 8th, 2008 3:52 pm ET

I am proud to be a Hillary supporter, and one of her new contributors. It is sickening the way Obama can distort words, comments, and speeches. This man also has a perfect answer for every problem, which is concerning...everyone knows what happens when someone is too perfect...look at history.

Hillary cares about the country and her job. Among the three leading candidates, she has missed the fewest number of votes since announcing her candidacy. She has only missed 22%, while Barack has missed over 30% and McCain has missed close to 40%. Those statistics show that she is the right candidate for president.

Many people are afraid of a woman running the country...they hate the thought of being under a woman and of powerful women...Those people need to get over their fears...

Let's go Hillary...straight to the Whitehouse.

Hillary '08

N Fulton   February 8th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

The problem with the Clinton donors is that they are the big money interests of this country. Lets do it right for a change and let the people have a voice. Go Obama!

Davide   February 8th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

I have contributed to Obama and will again ~ if Billary is nominated, I vote Macain!

Anthony   February 8th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

Thank you again America for reminding me why the American people should NOT have a say in who becomes the next president of the United States. I, for one, enjoy reading user comments to see the nonsense arguments people come up with to support their candidates. Funny that 70% of people who voted for either Clinton or Obama said either one would do a stand up job as president.

Great, BOTH Hillary and Obama are raising loads of money for their campaigns. This signifies that we will have a truly competitive election, which is as it should be. Both candidates would be good for the office of the presidency, and they are relatively equal in the popular vote, which confirms that they will likely both do a good job.

Why all the bickering? Why can't we just have our say when we vote and let the rest sort itself out?

Can't wait to find out who the nominee is- in August, when it's too late to surmount an ample defense against McCain or Huckabee. Good work, democrats!

Elore   February 8th, 2008 3:49 pm ET

Thanks to all that already have made donationsto those that will donate to ensure a better future for America.

I did and will continue to do so as much as I can. You know every dollar counts.

With God's help we shall prevail.

Hillary and Bill are liars and they are supported by crooks. Honest ,hard working and your people donate to Obama.

GoAmerica   February 8th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

This is between past vs future. This is between looking backward or going forward. Change is must, we all want change. Electing Obama is surely a change. This time lets elect a president who cares for American People, who understand their pain and who can unite this nation for a common good. Lets CHANGE this government to a better government which respects individual rights as it is in the constitution. Lets elect a president who will focus on how we can change our source of energy most importantly oil. Electing someone who takes money from lobbyists won't bring CHANGE, cause after this election is over we will say "same old same old" Time has changed and we too have to. So Here I am requesting you to be real, lets live in the real world and not in the imaginary world where everything is in order. The bitter truth is there are millions of people who cannot afford to pay their health insurance, mortgages, college fees etc. The CHANGE we are looking for is for US. We have options to choose from. This time let us choose the right option so that we can have some CHANGE left after we pay our bills.
GoObama
GOD BLESS AMERICA

kate   February 8th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

Hillary said, "I am the only candidate that can stand up to the Republicans." Obama said "I will reach out to the Republicans. This is not a blue state, or red state, it's the USA." It's time for Hillary supporters to realize Obama is the best candidate and has the best chance of defeating McCain.

She has taken money from lobbyist, he has taken none. Think of the favors that Hillary and Bill will owe if that are back in the White House. Independents will vote for Obama not Hillary.

Obama '08

Mani, NJ   February 8th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

I think that it is great that Hillary's supporters are coming out and really making a difference. Its really up to us to make sure she gets the nomination and we have to make it happen. I think Obama and everyone that support him are treating this like its a game, when in actuality ita about us Americans and out future. She's a real leader with real solutions where he is a dreamer. At the end of the day, Obama's speeches will not get us anywhere.

Theresa   February 8th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

We gave $500 to Obama as soon as we heard of this. Will send more to Obama. I am not going to let this country be a trash can for the Clintons.

thomasz   February 8th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

Holly from MO needs to redo her math. 8 million divided by 75,000 = 106.66, not 11,000. She must be one of those "educated" Obama backers. She just doesn't add up.

wait a minute   February 8th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

So now Hillary can get her 5 million dollars back from the campaign.

Think - FL   February 8th, 2008 3:42 pm ET

Here's a question for all of you die-hard Clintonites: Why, if the Clintons are so loving, genuine and wonderful... can 1/2 to 3/4 of this country see them as lying, disingenuous, stop-at-nothing to get elected individuals?

Are you really going to hedge that your perception of them is better than the 150-200 MILLION Americans that can see through their thin veil of lies and deceit?

Lourdes   February 8th, 2008 3:41 pm ET

Jeff of Alabama - who contributed to Obama's campaign? In January, me and 350,000 others who don't think "seasoned" political figure has the common citizen's best interest in mind.

Also, isn't it interesting that the money issue was played up by the Clintons - exaggerated, even. It turns out (ABC news reported this) that her staffers ARE NOT going without pay. That was just another sympathy ploy to get people to donate.

By the way, aren't Hillary supporters just a little suspicious of someone who finances their own campaign? Who are they going to be beholden to at the end of the day? Besides, did all of the millions that they have come from all of her work "defending children" because last time I checked, those types of jobs don't allow you to make millions. Perhaps the millions come from Bill's "consulting" in the middle east, Hillary's days as a corporate attorney, and Chelsea's 6-figure salary 'working' at hedge fund (I guess she's using her sick and vacation days to help her mom campaign- isn't that what the rest of us have to do when one of our parents needs are help and we need to take time off from work?)

Ann   February 8th, 2008 3:41 pm ET

Jeff of Alabama.. This lady from Tn donated to Obama and 650,000 more..

Steve   February 8th, 2008 3:41 pm ET

Hey idiots, Obama has 5 more years of political experience than Hillary. Did you fail math, or just don't know that "First Lady" is not a political office?

Jenny   February 8th, 2008 3:41 pm ET

Has anyone considered the fact that John McCain should pick Colin Powell as his running mate?

George   February 8th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

What it doesn't say is that 5 million of those dollars was money that she loaned to her own campaign. Shes running out of money. GO OBAMA

ABC   February 8th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

If Hillary wins the nomination, McCain wins the presidency.

Don't be stupid. Obama's movement has doubled the past participation and that will evaporate if Hillary wins.

A vote for Hillary is a vote for McCain.

GEAUX HILLARY   February 8th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

I donated and will continue to do so over the course of the next months. Hillary IMO is what this country needs to get us out of the pit Bush has put us in.

CNUHillaryFan   February 8th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

Love you girl!

To Captain.

Your post confirms the terror you face that a WOMAN can possibly be president. You certainly have the right to your opinion even if most of us consider it stupid. Go back to your cave.

By the way, are female donations any less valuable than males?

KC in KC   February 8th, 2008 3:38 pm ET

Change We Can Believe In...but what exactly is that change?

I'm a little suspicious when a charismatic leader arises, promises to be a "uniter" and bring about change but doesn't specifically lay out what those changes will be.

I, for the first time, also made a political contribution and it was for Hillary.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice....

Gavin   February 8th, 2008 3:37 pm ET

My money is WORTH our future, our children's future, and the next four years of cleaning up the Bush-debacle.... I WILL CONTINUE TO DONATE BECAUSE I BELIEVE...

All the way Hillary!

Becky in Indiana   February 8th, 2008 3:37 pm ET

Boomer 4 Obama   February 8th, 2008 3:35 pm ET

Just like the pre-primary tears, I can’t help but think Mrs.Clinton's CLAIM of a $5 million personal loan was another clever ploy to win sympathy votes. Besides, they need to keep the coffers stashed with cash all the way to Denver, when her campaign will hire high priced lawyers to sanctimoniously battle for the restoration of the voting rights of Floridians.

Look, everyone knew the Florida results wouldn't count but she came to Miami Beach on the Sunday night prior to the primary for private fund raising. Two days later, her plane landed here minutes after the polls closed. They said it wasn't a victory party but just "to thank her supporters". It was there that she vowed to fight to make all the Florida votes count!

Just say no to a 3rd term for The Clintons!

CALIFORNIA LOVE   February 8th, 2008 3:35 pm ET

Veronica Ward   February 8th, 2008 3:35 pm ET

A lot of people, senators, govenors, the media – - have said that there are NO real difference between Obama and Clintons policies and values. So, it really does come down to leadership skills and yes "CHARISMA." So, you Clinton supporters can claim that all Obama has is charisma, well that's all he really needs at this point.

I have to point out that being a visionary is very important as well and Clinton, just doesn't have it. Going for the "devil you know" is just as bad a being afraid of change. Do you dare to dream of a better America? NOT JUST FINANCIALLY (those of you voting for Bill, oops I mean Hillary) BUT MORALLY AS WELL.

I for one would prefer a more morally correct America as well as an economically viable one. If we could bring some of our troops home (carefully) and not spend $9 million dollars a day on the war, we could get somewhere. Our safety is important, don't get me wrong but so is our economy.

It's not just about Obama's judgement not to go to war, but he knew it would be economically unviable to stay there forever. That's why he received my vote! It takes a visionary to understand how economics and the war go hand in hand.

GO OBAMA!!!!

Rob   February 8th, 2008 3:35 pm ET

Something I don't understand. Hillary loaned her campaign 5,000,000 of her own money yet asks people to donate their money to the campaign and her staff are reportedly working without pay for at least a month. As comparison, Romney used 40,000,000 of his own money for his campaign. Someone please explain to me how Hillary can ask people to work for her without pay and donate which is not tax deductible while she "loans" money to her campaign. I suspect when the campaigning is done, the 5,000,000 loan will become a write-off as a bad debt.

Maybe what's good for the goose is good for the gander – everyone interested in donanting money to Billary should loan it instead.

T from EC   February 8th, 2008 3:35 pm ET

Hey Mark....

I know how you feel. If Hillary wins I'm voting for McCain too. So if you count the votes McCain will win despite what Democrate is the nominee. Don't think you Clinton supporters hold all of the power.

CeCe   February 8th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

I agree Lauren. Obama has remained consistent with donors, his staff, and has managed his campaign finances well. This says a lot about Obama. I don't think there is anything the formidible Clinton Machine wouldn't do in order to try and win this election. This includes psyching their supporters and staff out about the dire state of their campaign finances. Fiscal responsibility and smarts? Please.

Vote Obama 08'

Intellectuals   February 8th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

You cried before the NH primary to get sympathy votes....

Now you played this "poor me" trick to make people donate...

Lets have the general election now and put an end to this travesty

CLINTON DYNASTY = DEMOCRATIC TRAVESTY

Williwwill   February 8th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

I said it before and I'll say it again, there are 29 democrates in my family. And shouln't Hillary be the democratic nominee, then we will all vote for the republician rather than this guy who's pretending to give a care...Thanks

Rose, MD   February 8th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

desperate times call for desparete measures. "I loaned my campaign $5 million?????"

Nigel Harrison   February 8th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

Jeff et all;

Spend more time readling and less time writing you would know that less than 3% of supporters for Barack have given the maximum $2300. He has a base of over 500,000 supporters. You do the math – 500,000 giving just $500 each over the course of 12 months is $250,000,000 – yes more than Bush raised for the 2004 re-election campaign from special interest groups, big oil, military companies, drug companies and others.

Unless you are a part of a lobbyist group, why anyone would support the same old back-door dealing and buying of public servants that has invaded this country is insane.

Mark   February 8th, 2008 3:32 pm ET

Reading the comments on this page reminds me why Americans ended up with eight years of Bush. Almost all of them are puerile.

From outside the goldfish bowl (England) it is clear that the following will happen: Obama will gain 25 delegates over Clinton at the weekend and another forty on Tuesday. The following weekend he will close down the difference with Wisconsin and Hawaii. Going into Texas, they will be all but equal, with Obama having more pledged delegates and Clinton more superdelegates (essentially the weaker position). Clinton will win Ohio, but Obama has a real opportunity to win Texas. Either way, they will emerge less than 30 delegates apart.

Obama has a fundamentally stronger fundraising base and through March and April that will cause Clinton problems. Whatever happens in Pennsylvania, Obama will win North Carolina and Mississippi and thus secure a majority of the states, as well as (at least) an equality of the delegates.

If Obama emerges with that position (and I believe he will), then Hillary ought to think seriously about what it would mean for her to be Leader of the Senate after Harry Reid, because her claim on candidacy will not be sufficient and support will melt away. As Shakespeare put it 'It was the gods, who once loved Anthony now leaving him'. Whether you like Obama or not, or think Hillary is the best thing ever to have happened to the Dems, the logic of what follows is against her.

Dan, NJ   February 8th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

Donations to Hillary make McCain happy. The latest Time magazine poll:

Obama 48
McCain 41
(and Obama hasn't introduced himself to almost half the states)

McCain 46
Clinton 46

2 or 3 S. Ct. Justices may retire and HRC's unlikability is the difference between a dead heat and a 7 point lead. Clinton fans, you can all tell us how much better ti felt when you had a 7 point lead.

peace   February 8th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Time Magazine just released it's latest poll- it clearly states that Obama has better chance at defeating McCain than Mrs. Clinton does. Obama has proven his appeal in the all regions of the country, with all races (except Hispanics), all income levels and varying ideologies.

A lot of people may not be aware of Mrs. Clinton's lack of courage with her vote for authorizing George Bush's war in Iraq- but they will become aware.

Hillary Clinton shouldn't even have to raise as much money considering that she is so well-known to the American people- half of whom don't really like her that much.

Dem   February 8th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Obama camp is in the midst of a beautiful hallucination if they believe that all Hillary supporters are coming their way if he wins the nomination.They are in for a very very rude shock in November.You have underestimated and undercut her support,but NO MORE.I and manty of my friends will be happy to vote for McCain or sit it out.

brian   February 8th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Too bad she had to lie to her supporters about her staffers going without pay to raise this money. And why is she so afraid to reveal her tax returns?

Don't know about you, but honest matters to me.

Lauren, when did she say she was afraid??

Claudia   February 8th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Go Hillary!, I am a first time contributor and will definately contribute again. I was inspired before she even announced she would run. I had already purchased all
my Hillary gear. I do not fall for the Obama promises and will vote McCain if Obama wins.

Aimee   February 8th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

Go Hillary! I donated again and have encouraged my friends to again. if Obama wins I will vote MCain... I do not like the way he acts like he is above it all, and then turns around and steals Hillary's plans as if they were his own... New Orleans anyone?

Debra Austin, Texas   February 8th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

To Benjamin who said:

As the leader of both pledged and super delegates, Hillary deserves the support. At least she hasn't lowered herself to rock concert rallies that diminish the honor and dignity of the Presidential nomination.

I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Excuse me, "diminish the honor and dignity of the Presidential nomination"....and you're going to vote for a person who's husband sullied every aspect of the Presidency, lied, disbarred and now wags his finger in everybody's face, spewing race baiting and more. Give ME a break.

Can't you just imagine him in the White House again WITHOUT a full time job. YUCK!

I'm pretty much a broke college student, but i'm thinking about donating to Hillary. I think she's been unfairly portrayed in the media, and it's time to give her campaign the boost it needs.

Ito, Yokosuka Japan   February 8th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Christine Campbell said, "How can a Canadian donate to Hiliary's campaign."

That's easy...just show up at Bill Clinton's door with a cigar...

Alison, FL   February 8th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Funny thing is Obama supporters have always contributed to his campaign and continue to do so. This is sign of desperation for attention. If Hillary's supporters believed so much in her from the start, why did she have to go on national tv and beg for cash from them? Are they giving now out of love for their beloved female dictator or are they only giving to compete with Obama's donators....by the way which totals over 350,000 since super-tuesday....Go ahead and be manipulated and see just how far it gets you. There is a reason Obama attracts intelligent people...we are not easily manipulated.

RIPDEMRATS   February 8th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

As a republican I do want HRC to win because this would unite our base to take back the white house. We already have SWITF VOTERS ready and armed to bring her down. To make sure this happens I am donating to HRC, I am 100% sure my investment will have a big return.

John   February 8th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

Not only is Texas waiting for you Hillary, Pennsylvania is solidly on your side. Do the math, Hillary picks up more delegates because she wins in the bigger states (like Texas and Pennsylvania!), Hillary wins the nomination. If Obama loves America as much as he says he does, he should agree to be her VP.

Andrea   February 8th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

Let us continue to support Senator Clinton all the way to the top. What little you have to give is a lot. Don't be ashamed to send $1.00 or so. Every little bit helps, believe me. I am doing my best to send her donations when I am paid every 2 wks. The Lord blessed me with a great job, and I want to bless someone else.

As Philip said earlier "Madam President" sounds wonderful.

Texas loves Senator Clinton!

Dem   February 8th, 2008 3:24 pm ET

Great job by the Hillary campaign and the supporters.She is the right candidate for the job and deserves the nomination.Obama spin will be in before the end of the day though!

Natalie   February 8th, 2008 3:24 pm ET

Cry poverty, and the money will come. Easy-peasy. Oh, Clintons, how I wish everything you do didn't seem completely disingenuous.

Also, I don't see one thing wrong with asking for release of the tax returns. Don't her supporters also have the right to know where money is coming from? Or are you better off NOT knowing?

Carole   February 8th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

I have been a monthly contributor to our next Presidents campaign, HILLARY CLINTON...GOOOOOO GIRL GOOOOOO. YOU are our Girl....I will increase my monthly contributions. I can hardly wait till' March 4th...You, Hillary Clinton, will win the great state of Texas by a landslide!!!

HILLARY 2008

Contribute HILLARY supporters contribute!! WE WILL see her make it all the way to the White House!!

HILLARY, HILLARY, HILLARY :)

Corey   February 8th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

To the person who wrote " if she raises 8 million from roughly 75000 people, let's do the math.Average donation of almost $11000. Boy that Hillary sure does represent the working people of America!"

Where did you learn math, in a cave?

8,000,000 / 75,000 = 8,000 / 75 = 106.67

The average donor gave $106.67.

If you are going to be a moron, then please vote Obama!

Ngom   February 8th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

¡Ver cree! I don't suppose CNN finds it necessary to investigate this claim. It would not be the first time the Clintons said the word is was not IS.

joe   February 8th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

for the person above by the name of "captain"

that is why women should vote for hillary as our next president and commander of chief...

to change the stereotype some men have of women...

she is qualified experienced and brilliant and tested even with obama and his campaign...to be our next president

hillary 08

Ito, Yokosuka Japan   February 8th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

Go ahead HRC fans...donate to the HRC campaign...so you can pay back her loan to herself ... with interrest.

Suckers...

Michelle N Louisiana   February 8th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

ok hilliery backers tell me this why hillery has to come out and say she loaned herself 5mill for her camp and when you donate funds to her camp that is not a loan why should she go back and take that 5 mill back out mitt gave his camp 50mill you didn't hear him cry about it i'm sure he will write that off a a tax write offf
but hillery did what she wanted to do make all the little old ladies feel sorry for her
WAKE UP PEOPLE SHE IS A JOKE,

Cheyenne   February 8th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

Why Media is silent about -How Obama bruoght his house half the value of its price and his friend brought next door for full price.

Kevin, Louisville, Ky   February 8th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

Is any from Kazahstan via Canadian Businessmen or Dubai Ports ...hmmmm thinking!!!

Yes Hill and Bill ....but Sorry Obama still got the groove.....Go Barry!!

Ann   February 8th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

Hillary'08!

And yes, if her campaign needs money, she received it from supporters. So much bluff about the 'college educated' and rich Obama's supporters. There are lots of them on Hillary's side and many who wake up.

Plus, never discount the power and support of the poor in hope for a better life. This is above that hope for excitement and lets govern together that the spoiled Obama supporters complaining about their boring lives, will ever experience.

Some people are in need for real change in their lives, not just for feelings of excitement. Get real and responsible.

Ito, Yokosuka Japan   February 8th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

HRC is such a phony. If she is not playing the polls she is trying to keep with with the Jones's in other categories...

VA voter   February 8th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

How anyone can claim that CNN is NOT pro Obama must have been under a rock for the past month.

griff   February 8th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

GO HILLARY!!

Obama, I mean he is good, but just doesn't have the know how to run this country. It would be nice to see another Clinton taking charge and she will have the advice from Bill. I would hate to burst everyone's bubble, but she is going to win this. They are saying that superdelegates and Florida, Michigan Primaries might have to come into play before the convention giving Hillary the lead. It looks like she will win New Mexico too. How about everyone quits whining and supports Hillary as the commander and cheif so the party won't split? sounds good to me1

Kevin   February 8th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

Everything else aside... to Holly from Kansas City

"So if she raises 8 million from roughly 75000 people, let's do the math.

Average donation of almost $11000. Boy that Hillary sure does represent the working people of America!"

75,000 * $100 = $7,500,000. Not $11,000, which would be $825 million.

Is anyone else disgusted by how much money is being drained by this? A thousand charities are weeping as money which could help the homeless and third world nations is being filtered to help two Democratic nominees run for office! Yay Democrats! Help the poor!

Hill4Prez   February 8th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

I just made another donation to Hillary's campaign. Stop by her website, volunteer and contribute if you can. She needs to know that we believe in her and that SHE can bring back the prosperity we used to have before Bush swandered it.

Hillary 08.

Pappy, Auburndale, Fl   February 8th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

A lot of my friends are saying that if Obama is the nominee that they will vote for McCain. Clinton needs to go on the attack a lot harder. Obama says he is for change but never spells it out. Hey Hitler was change also. That guy sends chills right down my back he is creepy. He is an empty suit and a silver tongue devil for sure.

Mike   February 8th, 2008 3:17 pm ET

Why won't Hillary release her tax returns? Obama has released his 2006 and 2007 tax returns and Hillary says she won't release hers until she wins the democratic nomination. I thinks that sounds fishy. Why isn't anyone say anything about this? Obama does what he says he's going to do. Clinton is hiding something.

STAND STRONG FOR CHANGE (OBAMA)

OR

FALL HARD FOR THE SAME (Clinton's) !!!!

We vote for OBAMA because WE DO NOT WANT BILLARY BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE!! If Obama loses, I WILL BE VOTING FOR THE REPUBLICANS!!!!

Justin-Texas   February 8th, 2008 3:16 pm ET

Hillary is the BEST choice and don't forget Clinton beat the Republican after long drought and She can and will beat them again.

Please help her she is our best hope

FRITZ   February 8th, 2008 3:16 pm ET

I want to know why CNN is all about Hillary Clinton? You guys are worst than FOX NEWS. You never report anything favorable about OBAMA. Hillary doesn't need money for advertisment as long as they got you. You should report the delegates as they are not as you want them to be. How much did OBAMA raise so far? Why dont you report that?

Carol   February 8th, 2008 3:16 pm ET

Obama has the college party crowd and their snooty cheese eating, wine drinking, rich parents.

Well, it appears Clinton's hard working soccer parents are back and they are really, really riled up.

Obama got $421,000 from Goldman Sachs, $296,000 from UBS AG, $250,000 from Lehman Brothers, etc. For list of Obama's major contributors go to. opensecrets.org.

Jorge from California   February 8th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

Look closer to that money... and where does it come from...
We Know how she can be with donations....
by the way she is going to court on february 21 in California for electoral fraud!!!!
Liers !! that what the Clintons are!!!

Dennis   February 8th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

I can't believe there are people in this discussion of this article talking about how much Hillary made complaining that CNN favors Obama... That is the most clueless thing I've heard all day.

Drew   February 8th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

You obamabots need to think twice before you start crying biased media coverage. All i've heard thus far is an obvious slant for Obama since the middle of January. Despite all the hooplah, she's still on top by the popular vote and by delegate not even counting FL and MI which will be counted. They should be counted too because it's not right for Democrats as a whole to tell two states that their votes don't mean anything at all.

King, GA   February 8th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

Jeff, good question. May be more Republicans are behind that? I just wonder why....

Fritz   February 8th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

"People are starting to wake up."

By giving money to a couple of multi-millionaires who generated their millions by sleazy deals with Kazakhstan uraninum deals and consulting Chinese businessmen?

If that is waking up, then sleep should win the day.

S.A.   February 8th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

Yes, where are the tax records Hillary? Since when did senators have $5 to $20 million to loan to a campaign? Open up the records. Why hide?

Carole   February 8th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

Hillary 2008....You got it.....Yes Obama, 'OUR TIME HAS COME' to send a woman to the White House. The woman part is not as important as SHE is the best candidate.

HILLARY 2008

I love that!!

Patrick   February 8th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

I find it very funny how the biased Obama supporters CANT STAND the fact that Hillary is raising money in record numbers! They keep saying "why is the CLinton fundraising add there?" its called PAID ADVERTISING you nuts! lol

caywen   February 8th, 2008 3:13 pm ET

Funny how any time Obama leads on something, the Clintons rush in to try to grab the spotlight. That tells me that Obama's the real thing and Clintons are just opportunists.

OBAMA!!

King, GA   February 8th, 2008 3:13 pm ET

People thought she is financially dead. Here she comes back. This woman is amazing and she deserves to win. She is already tested with the Republican attack machine. Go Madam President 08!!!!!

Drew   February 8th, 2008 3:12 pm ET

She can turn over her tax returns as fast as Obama can turn over his paperwork with Rezko. Let's make it fair if we are going to look at anything like that.

Gaurang Tanna   February 8th, 2008 3:12 pm ET

Obama '08.

If Hillary wins, Go Republicans!

Deana   February 8th, 2008 3:12 pm ET

I donated to Hillary, my friends donated to Hillary, my co-workers donated to Hillary and we will continue to do so as long as it takes to make sure the right person wins. Go Hillary 2008!!!!!!

Farrell, Houston, Tx   February 8th, 2008 3:11 pm ET

Leah DiMarco, Tx: I don't know who is your political preference but it is obvious you take your candidate vote serious, so do I. And that meaning, you don't allow a candidate to introduce themselves and accept what they tell you about themselves without doing followup research. I wish that more people like yourself would do the same for all candidates before making unwise decisions. The information about each candidate is available if we stop being be lazy and depend on the candidate or an uninformed friend who knows no more than we do. Get the facts about each candidate and don't cast your vote in the wind.

hawk   February 8th, 2008 3:11 pm ET

She raised $11 million but loaned her campaign $5 million. Please people of America lets get real. What a loser! Obama/Edwards

Ron Duritsch   February 8th, 2008 3:11 pm ET

Obama always says "Yes we can", but Hiilary has one up on him – she can say "Yes we did!"

Brian   February 8th, 2008 3:11 pm ET

I just gave her $500. Beat Obama, Beat McCain. We need someone who is smart and tough. That is you Hillary the best of both worlds.

Yes I am a straight white male as well.

Sylvia   February 8th, 2008 3:11 pm ET

I was wondering this today......
The OBAMA supporters continually state OBAMA was against the war from the beginning.....why is this something to be PROUD of as I see it DIFFERENTLY.
This is my reasoning....
With all the information we had from GWBush and the rest of his crew the MAJORITY of the AMERICAN PEOPLE were in support and PROUD when they brought down the statue.
OBAMA and his currrent supporters apparently are proud the OBAMA was against supporting the SAFETY of te AMERICAN PEOPLE. When The Dixie Chicks took that position they were pulled off radio stations as UNAMERICAN.
Why is NOBODY seeing that OBAMA was UNAMERICAN and Hillary as the one supporting the SAFETY of the United States???
At that time she voted to give GWB the authority to do what he wanted to do and the MAJORITY of the american people felt that as well.....so why is HILLARY be villified????
I think the question should be why did OBAMA not want our country SECURE??????
NOW WE KNOW WE WERE MISLED by GWBush and his people, but at the time we ALL were.
But again at the time when OBAMA is questioning Hillary....I think the question should be WHY WAS OBAMA NOT CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY???????

JJ TORONTO ON   February 8th, 2008 3:10 pm ET

the Clintons campaign lacks originality- Right after OBAMA said he raised 33 millions , they want to outraise him to make a point – She came out crying again saying the camapaign was broke begging and twisting people arms to donate- Hillary you are old news- people see that- by the way you need to disclose your personal fortune if you are honest--

Karen   February 8th, 2008 3:10 pm ET

I'm going to keep on giving until I max out!

Go Hilary!!!!

mary   February 8th, 2008 3:09 pm ET

I wonder if we will see Obama's tax record.......or to see where his campaign money came from......Maybe the Kennedy clan is financing it.

Joann   February 8th, 2008 3:09 pm ET

To Natalee (the new immigrant to this country) – good for you. I'm not new to this country and I too am sick to my stomach on how Fox News, CNN, MSNBC etc. has supported Obama (a new comer) the whole time and bashed Hillary every step of the way. It's good to hear a "new comer" see what I see. I will not give those channels my business any more and I am making my donation to Hillary today – give what you can and you will get back ten fold believe me. A good president gives to everyone whether the morons out there care to admit it.

Ken, Suitland MD   February 8th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

"I'm not sure who I'm more baffled by…the one who manipulates…or the ones being manipulated"

Chris, as a wing-nut Busch supporter, it is ironic that you should bring this up......

LMAO. I love it when they step in the pile, and walk around for awhile, not even realizing how bad it stinks.

Lee   February 8th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

I donated for the first time in my life to Hillarys campaign just yesterday.
It gives me such pride to stand behind such a strong intelligent woman.
She is not full of hot air like Obama the black baptist preacher – no she has substance in her proposals.

Hillary has a huge force of smart women and men behind her – and we are a force to be reckoned with. You better jump the obama wagon cause its headed for the water.

What is this about Obama pushing the wrong button to vote?????????? In the white house he will be playing with his GI Joes and hit the red button by accident – oops did I do that....Scary.

Contribute to Hillarys campaign for our future – she needs the help of the smart women and men of this country.

LQ, Rochester MN   February 8th, 2008 3:06 pm ET

Doesn't it bother anyone that this woman stood up in front of "regular, every day people" and said how she LOANED out of her own pocket $5M to her campaign?? Aren't we all worried about the economy?? Contribute if you can, but I just thought this was an unbelievable statement to make in front of people who may be worrying about the price of gas, mortgage payments, their retirement, medical bills, etc.
Did she pay the $5M back to herself yet?

I used to be a Clinton supporter – I supported her husband throughout his presidency, including through the impeachment proceedings – but in the last few months I have just become more and more disgusted. I really wanted to be able to vote for a woman for president – how exciting!!! But I no longer support her.

If I did support her still, that $5M comment would have ruined it for me.

John   February 8th, 2008 3:06 pm ET

Ok..Here we go again.. For many who donated to Clintons cause although she's worth $50 million I dont get it...

Joann   February 8th, 2008 3:05 pm ET

This goes out to Lauren who ignorantly states that Hillary is afraid to show her tax returns and who made her staff go without pay – first of all her staff volunteered becasue they support her and believe in her candidacy and second of all I don't think she's really had a chance to even respond to the "tax return" question but can't you see how "petty" Obama is starting to get. You can be if Hillary started doing things like this they would be giving her bad publicity or saying it's "racially motivated". We're dealing with a black candidate and everyone in the media is "scared to death" to throw jabs at Obama like they've been doing to Hillary. Obama is a big baby like I said all along – what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Go Hillary.

Brian   February 8th, 2008 3:05 pm ET

I think this country needs workers, not cheerleaders.

Wendy   February 8th, 2008 3:05 pm ET

I just sent in my first time donation to Hillary. Go ahead CNN. Keep going negative on her. It was your gloating over Hillary loaning her campaign 5 million that made me pull out the old credit card.

Love Hill   February 8th, 2008 3:04 pm ET

Go Hillary Go!!! .
Obama is only winning caucuses. In November, there will be no caucus. You are the real deal Hillary.

We got your back!!
Go Hillary Go!!

Vote 4 Hillary   February 8th, 2008 3:04 pm ET

Oh Leah & Lauren get a life. It's people like you why I can't stand Obama. You all are so negative and miserable. Why don't you put your tax returns out publicly? Hillary is under no obligation to have to show her tax returns b/c Obama "suggests" it. It's none of his business first of all, second of all its no one's business. Grow up people. You talk about change, well your not changing how the typicall American is always looking to point fingers and throw the blame someone else's way. Obama is really starting to turn negative and I hope I'm not the only one who sees that. I'm a die-hard Democrat but if this guy is our nominee, he's not getting my vote.

Obama 08   February 8th, 2008 3:04 pm ET

...and Obama is leading in recent polling in Virginia by 20 point: 59 to 39..winning in all categories except those over 65

...and Obama has received the endorsements of two key governors: Chet Culver and Gregoire....Clinton is not getting the recent endorsements

...and recent polling reveals Mccain ahead of Clinton by 1% while Obama polls 5%higher than McCain

...I hope Obama doesn't play this ridiculous who raised more money games and just waits until the end of Feb to report...my bet is it will be way more

...if CNN wants to be thorough they would also be reporting on the "untruthiness" of Clinton's claims about her financial campiagn...

Obama supporter "keeping them honest"

Jeff of Alabama   February 8th, 2008 3:03 pm ET

I have never donated money to any politician before. But this time, I am going to donate to Hillary's campaign. Because if Obama wins, I am going to vote Republican.
I still find it very, very strange and discomforting that a newbie such as Obama can outraise a seasoned political figure.
Who actually contributed to Obama campaign?

brian   February 8th, 2008 3:03 pm ET

There is one way to win votes in democracy. Sweet talks (without substance), twist facts, get media bias, stick to identity politics and get endorsements from old political warriors while claiming CHANGE and patenting the word CHANGE.

Hillary is our leader!!!

pd   February 8th, 2008 3:03 pm ET

President Clinton was treated unfairly by the opposition's supporters and the media. The ability for Obama's camp to take his comments out of context, incuding the J. Jackson comment, which most that were there say was part of a broader discussion of overall voting patterns in SC, and the media's willingness to spin it out of this context, was the real problem. As someone who has fought hard for all people, including African-Americans, he deserves the benefit of the doubt. As for Clyburn, his veneered attempt at neutrality was really what was contemptible and an abuse of his position. I am one of those people who finally was able to make something for myself under the Clinton policies and I don't forget loyalty to those who worked hard for me. This needs to be said! Obama's comments that Clinton represents the past, is so dismissive of a entire group of people (Clinton and his advisers) who worked very hard to make the world a better place. Just ask the people of Ireland how they feel about his brokered peace there. Not to mention the many things he did in domestic policy.

By the way, why hasn't CNN called Obama out for his comment that the opposition's "claws have come out." That is so degrading to women, and, yet, he gets away with this stuff time and time again. I would have voted for either one of them in the General Election when this began, but I will not vote for Obama if he is the nominee. Campaigning with Donnie McClurkin and using sexist comments like this as well as the free ride he has gotten with the press, means he really does not deserve my treasured vote. Finally, his arrogance that his supporters will not vote for Hillary, but Hillary supporters will vote for him, means he is in for a rude awakening. I've polled Hillary supporters and 4 of 5 said they would either stay home or vote McCaine.

Good luck Hillary and we will keep supporting you and donating to your campaign

Go USA   February 8th, 2008 3:02 pm ET

Obama/Edwards 08..this is the "dream team" America needs....

mike   February 8th, 2008 3:02 pm ET

If Bill Ciinton had not disgraced himself while in office Al Gore would have won in 2000. There would have been no W presidency and we wouldn't have squandered tremendous amounts of national prestige, blood, and treasure in Iraq. Adding to his disgrace was Hillary "standing by her man", and claiming that Bill was a victim of a right-wing conspiracy, which we now know to be a lie just like his famous statement "I did not have sex with that woman". Hillary in all likelyhood cut a deal at that time with the Democratic party powers that led to her fake residency in NY and subsequential election to the senate. Both of them bear some blame for Iraq as a consequence of facilitating the Bush presidency. People who are now contributing and voting for her apparently either have very short memories or just can't connect the dots.

Ken, Suitland MD   February 8th, 2008 3:01 pm ET

To the ignoramous from TX, NONE of the things you list are scandals. In fact, where people with brains have investigated, no evidence of Clinton wrong-doing ever came up.

The real scandal, is on TXans. You are the people who started the political career of our current diaster-in-charge. YOU should be ashamed.

Shall we make a list of the PROVEN scandels perpetrated on America by your political native son?

Get a brian!

js   February 8th, 2008 3:01 pm ET

Hill will create more apathy and disillusionment......which will have a pendulum effect and swing the vote to McCain...this has also been substantiated by media that she is more vulnerable to McCain due to her flip-flopping and inability to take a stand on issues and just jumps on the bandwagon on issue later on....when it is safe....

To me personally, she is very depressing, and not a change at all....look how she repeatedly references Bill's accomplishments....she is not Bill....

And why do all empowered women, and ALL female governors now endorse Obama??? Hillary is doing a disservice to women in this country....she is not able to work as a team.....ask the "secret" hillary team who have managed to escape......and they will tell you the truth...some are just staking out their territory and don't want to rock the boat...she is the establishment....

Linda   February 8th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

Oh No You Can't !!! The truth will always Prevail~
We need a President, not a Preacher

Hillary 08'

MISSOURI   February 8th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

I have to admit that was a great strategy to play the play the pit-me line to switch to small donors ... The Billaries know how to play their following – you have to give them that.

Personally, I would feel cheated as a Clinton supporter but I doubt that they ever get that. I think their strategy will play out well, just as it has up to now.

However, they underestimated Barack Obama before the primaries started and they think they can win the support of his movement when they smeared their way into the nomination ... I know Republicans who crossed over to Obama and I know many Democrats who voted for him here in Missouri. All of us will rather vote for McCain then for the Billaries.

Barack Obama is a once-in-a-generation candidate and if we nominate the same old politicians without reflecting on the issues and the path in the future, then the Democrats have to lose the November election – and they will.

OBAMA'08 !

Ann   February 8th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

That means Obama probably has double.. Boy you Clinton folks are guilble.

Joann   February 8th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

You go Hillary – your staff is great. I'm going to kick in too! Good luck and hope you win.

Independent voter   February 8th, 2008 2:59 pm ET

Does no one remember all the corruption in the Clinton White House? And it seems almost petty that every time an opponent does something positive, she rushes forward to say "me too!"

Is she capable of doing anything unique? Or will be just get more of what we're used to? A day late and millions of dollars short. Not the kind of leadership I'm looking for.

Obama '08

Hillary   February 8th, 2008 2:59 pm ET

Obama was a cocaine user, I cant trust anyone who used cocaine... You want to list all the money things Hillary "might have done" when you have a FACT that Obama used Cocaine.

Claude   February 8th, 2008 2:59 pm ET

GO HILARY   February 8th, 2008 2:59 pm ET

Tim   February 8th, 2008 2:59 pm ET

Does that include the $5 million she loaned herself?

Sarah   February 8th, 2008 2:58 pm ET

I look forward to the day when Hillary Clinton endorses Obama. It will happen.

Derek   February 8th, 2008 2:58 pm ET

Today's New York Times offers a more complete picture of the fundraising by both campaigns. Clearly one candidate is forming a popular movement funded by small donors. The other not so much.

AL   February 8th, 2008 2:58 pm ET

Does the $10MM include the $5MM she contributed or not?

Karen SC   February 8th, 2008 2:58 pm ET

You go Girl!

d   February 8th, 2008 2:58 pm ET

I also donated today for the first time for Hilliary... and I am a senior citizen, educated, retired, and can read the blogs. I hate when Obama supporters put us down.

GO HILLIARY !!

Anon   February 8th, 2008 2:57 pm ET

What, now every five minutes she's going to send out a press release on how much money she has raised?

Once again, more suspicious behavoir from the Billary camp.

She very well could have not raised that money at all. But, because having little money will hurt her campaign, she has to pretned like she has lots of money.

Everyone, let's contribute now to the Obama '08 campaign. Let's show those deceptive Clintons we can earn more money than they can and we will get the nomination in 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Obama!!!

YES WE CAN

Jessica Price, California   February 8th, 2008 2:57 pm ET

GO Hillary!
I will support you from now on!

Phillip A. Gonzales   February 8th, 2008 2:56 pm ET

i THINK THIS IS TRUE TO THE FACT THAT HILLARY CLINTON HAS THE SUPPORT OF HIPANICS SUCH MYSELF THAT WE ARE ABLE TO HELP HER WITH VOTES AND MONEY HER HONESTY AND SINCERITY ARE VALUE THAT WILL WIN HER THE WHITEHOUSE.

Carl H.   February 8th, 2008 2:55 pm ET

I usually donate to Hillary every month, but I have been donating every day. Hillary Clinton has REAL SOLUTIONS for America's problems. Visit HillaryClinton.com.

John, NC   February 8th, 2008 2:54 pm ET

Amen.

We showed HILLARY that we believe in her SUBSTANTIVE campaign, and her incredible VISION to change America for the better.

Times are hard, but we chipped in pennies here and there, and I'm not done giving !

May the Heavens bless and lead your campaign to victory.

Vote for SUBSTANCE

Vote HILLARY '08

Patrick   February 8th, 2008 2:54 pm ET

It will be 10 million by midnight tonight! Obama supporters have no idea what is coming there way!

CLINTON 08!!

indepependat voter   February 8th, 2008 2:54 pm ET

Great. Now lets get some color on the Clintons personal finances. The DNC needs to step in on both campaigns so the republicans cant come at their candidate with any thing unforeseen. I see NO reason why the Clintons should be allowed to keep this a secret any longer

yours truly,

concerned american citizen

I'm proud to be one of Hillarys new campaign donors. I had no idea that she needed funds or I would have contributed long ago. This Country need a leader like Hillary.. so come on people.. spend some of your money .. it's a great investment. Go Hillary!!

OBAMA 2008   February 8th, 2008 2:53 pm ET

OBAMA ALL THE WAY

maynard   February 8th, 2008 2:53 pm ET

spend it hillary help the economy out , and further more, who cares how much money you have raised.. How much was pac money.and money from special interest groups.

Lightning   February 8th, 2008 2:51 pm ET

Why don't you report on how much the Obama campaign has raised, CNN?

Or the 340,000 people who have donated to the Obama campaign since January 1st?

Just a thought. Might at least give the impression that you are less biased.

Philip   February 8th, 2008 2:50 pm ET

That's our girl!

I tithe my paycheck every two weeks for her.

I have friends bringing in their work week lunches and drinking the office coffee vs their every morning starbucks.

i have an 83yo woman who wants to mail Hillary $25!

Madam President has such a nice ring to it!

Go Hillary Go!!

christine campbell   February 8th, 2008 2:50 pm ET

How can a Canadian donate to Hiliary's campaign.

Linda   February 8th, 2008 2:48 pm ET

I am glad to see her supporters have rallied around her. Perhaps we just didn't know that she needed funds. This is not just an Obama thing. We all want the white house, having a women run the country is the real "change."

Yes SHE can!

Gayle   February 8th, 2008 2:48 pm ET

This smells of exageration.

Captain   February 8th, 2008 2:47 pm ET

i wonder how much of those 75,000 new donors were women. So Clinton is strapped for cash, so she makes women feel sorry for her (just likeith the tears) and they dip into their pocket books. You know, the funny thing is that Obama raised all of that money last month and this month without even having to say whether or not they were broke. EVen after the 32 million dollar figure was released, no one budged. Hillary used the media by announcing her 5 million dollar "loan" and leaked the fact that her staff may have to work for free for February just so women would feel "obligated" to help.

WAKE UP WOMEN!!! I know how bad you want your prie of having a woman president, but would you do it at the expense of having a deceitful and coniving politician running the country? WOMEN, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO REALIZE THAT HILLARY IS USING YOU MORE THAN ANY MAN WOULD????

Eric, California   February 8th, 2008 2:47 pm ET

The sleeping giant has awoken and donated! Congrats Hillary – more is on the way!

SAVE US from more of the same in the disguise of "change" that Obama supports.

VOTERS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE! VOTE FOR HILLARY!

Melissa, New York, NY   February 8th, 2008 2:47 pm ET

You know what would be a great story for the political ticker?

"CNN posts big 'Support Hillary' ad on their website"

I don't know who should be more ashamed. Clinton or CNN.

disgusted   February 8th, 2008 2:46 pm ET

oh. and where are those tax records?

Johnson   February 8th, 2008 2:44 pm ET

All the republicans are now donating to her cause because they want her to win the democratic nomination to give McCain a chance to win the Republican nomination in November. If democrats are even decently smart, they will figure out that this is a ploy by the republicans to get her elected so that she can united the republican base for November. They are trying to kill 2 birds with one stone. Its surprising that this happens RIGHT after Mitt Romney drops out of the Republican race. Really makes you wonder.

disgusted   February 8th, 2008 2:44 pm ET

I wonder if she paid her $5,000,000 back to Bill with interest...

Rosa   February 8th, 2008 2:44 pm ET

Sounds like fuzzy math to me! Maybe Bush is heading up their fund raising team.

If she had to loan herself $5 million last month and then all of the sudden raises this much money – seems like someone is living at the "neverland" ranch.

Brian   February 8th, 2008 2:43 pm ET

Wow, this should really help her on top of the $5 million loan that she and Billy gave her campaign. When you can't raise money from the people, just spend your own – look at how well that worked for Romney!

Obama is the only real candidate left in this race that cares more about this country than about his party or the pursuit of power. He's the only one who cares about making change and not just "beating the Republicans."

Vote Obama, and donate...often!

Serg   February 8th, 2008 2:43 pm ET

Well Done!Go Hillary!

Nancy Tc   February 8th, 2008 2:43 pm ET

Great job!! I am sure that Obama will try to waste time with asking to see tax returns.

All I have to say to the Obama campaign is...move on. I don't want to hear another thing from the Obama campaign asking to see tax returns.

We americans have far too much at stake and it is such a waste of time that you feel you need to verify funding.

Stop the idiotic requests and lets get to where we need to be and that is resolving all the issues at hand.

Jabari   February 8th, 2008 2:43 pm ET

Is this now a battle to see who can pretend to have raised the most money?

Ann, MO   February 8th, 2008 2:43 pm ET

Hillary "loaned" her campaign $5 million, so that means that she is still lagging Barack, any way you look at it. Hillary did not donate that money to her campaign, she will take the money from the little people that she uses and pay herself back. If she is so confident about her "cause" then why wouldn't she just give the money to her campaign. Once again, she is only looking out for herself.

BeckyB   February 8th, 2008 2:42 pm ET

What in the hell is that DONATE to Hillary doing on the page????? Thought you were a news organization!!!! Where is a button for OBAMA, or John McCain. Just as we all thought. You guys are bought and paid for by the Clinton machine!! God help us!!! Clinton News Network!!!!

mary Cusack   February 8th, 2008 2:42 pm ET

Whoooooooo hooooooo!!!! You go girl!! Prove to them that we are just as good as they are!!! We are not idiots. just want to tell the elitist Obama Zombies that some of us do have college degrees and those of us who don't are far from low thinkers. My mother never graduated from college and she was the smartest person I know. She would have voted for Hillary just like she voted for Bill.

S.A.   February 8th, 2008 2:41 pm ET

Obama is pulling in far more money from more donors and he is not having to make any loans to his campaign. That tells me all I need to know.

Dan   February 8th, 2008 2:40 pm ET

OK. Cnn keeps showing how much Hillary of Obama raise. First it was 6 mill, then it was 7.5 mill. Now it is 8 mill.
I suggest you wait an hour or two when you decide to post the next mill, because in all liklihood, it is just going to go up.
Besides, I feel really creeped out that we have to pay for our next President nowadays.

Manny F   February 8th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

Long live the royal family.
We should change our name to the United Kingdom Redux.

Travis   February 8th, 2008 2:38 pm ET

How much of that is her own money? $10mil – $5mil = still less than Obama.

Amy   February 8th, 2008 2:38 pm ET

So after her loan, she raised only $3 million. Not a big deal for a Clinton. Weren't the Clintons supposed to be this big money organization going into this? Maybe their support has moved to Obama.

teresa mason   February 8th, 2008 2:38 pm ET

we love Hillary and Bill Clinton...Vote Smart Vote Hillary

Natalee   February 8th, 2008 2:37 pm ET

As a new immigrant to this country, I am shocked by the way the Media, and CNN specifically, is so abviously pro-Obama.

Will CNN address this issue? I am sure I am not the only person who thinks CNN is biased, right?

Sam   February 8th, 2008 2:36 pm ET

And how much of it was part of the $5 million and possibly $20 million loan that Hillary is making to her own campaign? And why would she invest so much for a $400,000 job if it were not for special interests? I think I would go with the candidate that has more individual support, like Obama, than Hillary. She seems to have more support of special interests who she will owe as well as her own personal interests. More people seem to be speaking with Obama.

Charlotte   February 8th, 2008 2:36 pm ET

Proud to be one of them!!!!!!!!!

sandi from Arizona   February 8th, 2008 2:36 pm ET

You know, if the Democrats had winner take all contests like the Republicans do, Hillary would be way out in front. She would probably be in the same position as John McCain is now: enjoing a clear lead with all the momentum behind her. Also, if the DNC hadn't been so stupid as to declare Florida a non-factor, the victor would be more clearcut.

I think it is a shame to spend so much of the Democratic time and resources on a primary battle which could eventually split the party. Hillary Clinton is the leader of this party and I think it would be much smarter to line up behind her at this point in time. Let Barack gain experience, and a better understanding of how the world works, then he can be the overwhelming favorite in 2016.

Come on Democrats....do the smart thing. End the confusion and support Hillary Clinton in 2008!

sir james   February 8th, 2008 2:36 pm ET

Perhaps the clintons' have never had problems raising money from day 1. is it true that the Imir of Dubai pays bill clinton 10 million a year so finding cash is no problem for them ? why all this fuss about loaning the campaign money and staffers going unpaid for a month?? Is this more calculating political spin to grab headlines? A phoney ploy ! designed to seek honest , hard-working people to contribute 50 bucks. beyond the issue of funding what implication does this have for american foreign policy , if this is true?
..
The press should undertake a full and complete financial investigation to determine their real financial status.

Obama-man   February 8th, 2008 2:35 pm ET

Another $100 from me was just sent to Obama in light of this news.

John from DC   February 8th, 2008 2:35 pm ET

Bill just got back from Kazhakhistan.

More money is on the way.....

Sonya   February 8th, 2008 2:35 pm ET

YES!!! Hillary's troops are rallying around her and we are determined to see her through to the Oval Office. We will continue to give and support her. Thanks to CNN for FINALLY showing something possitive if Hillary's favor. I guess you finally realized that all the thumping you've been doing for Hillary's opponent isn't quite working, is it?
GO HILLARY!!!!

Darren   February 8th, 2008 2:33 pm ET

Whipty-freakin' do! Is it really news that the frontrunner with the political machine and name recognition can raise money? Not really. This is over-compensation for the fact that Billary had to invest $5 million of their own wealth in their campaign. Can we move on now?

nancy valles   February 8th, 2008 2:33 pm ET

Way to go Hillary!!! keep going .....we all Nurses love you!!

Holly, Kansas City, MO   February 8th, 2008 2:33 pm ET

So if she raises 8 million from roughly 75000 people, let's do the math.

Average donation of almost $11000. Boy that Hillary sure does represent the working people of America!

On top of that, this is all somehow difficult to believe when within the last 48 hours she claimed she was running out of money and "lent herself" 5 million. Something just doesn't add up.

Yankee   February 8th, 2008 2:33 pm ET

McCain will not win the Presidency without Mitt Romney as his VP in November! McCain has not locked in the Conservative Republicans yet. They will wait to see who he will pick as a Running mate. After Mitt's speech yesterday the Conservatives now know that Mitt was the RIGHT candidate. They saw his true colors in his exit speech. He will Return, Better, Ready, Stronger, Smarter and a Winner!

Mark   February 8th, 2008 2:32 pm ET

I'm curious as to how much of the money that she's raised is earmarked for the general election? There was an article on dailykos that stated that nearly 14% of her 4 donations were over the $2300 cap and would therefore have to be used in the general election if she got the nomination. Raising a lot of money may sound good but if it can't be used in the primary, it's not as impressive. Has anyone looked into getting both campaigns to release those numbers before the Q1 FEC reports are due?

George from Minneapolis   February 8th, 2008 2:32 pm ET

What will all of the Hillary supporters say if she wins the nomination and somehow beats McCain(not likely) then does not get anything significant done in 4 years ?? What will you say then ??

You will probally blame the Republicans for not working with her. Well, we are telling you now, she wont get anything done. She FAILED once to get universal health care, she will fail again. In short, if you want the same old thing in Washington, vote for Hillary.

You have been warned repeatedly so dont whine later.

Independent   February 8th, 2008 2:32 pm ET

What is this a ticker for how much money the campaigns are taking in? Who cares?

Roger   February 8th, 2008 2:31 pm ET

Does that include the 5 Million she loaned her Campaign ??? LOL

Hillary go home   February 8th, 2008 2:31 pm ET

yah the five million dollars that his wife loaned herself from her own pocket lool
OBAMAAA 2008

Carl   February 8th, 2008 2:30 pm ET

If CNN loves Obama, MSNBC lusts after him. Obama's campaign was just on MSNBC saying a dem could loose to a repub. They believe the numbers that say their candidate will sweep the 10 AA states. They believe the numbers that say their candidate will win the caucus states. Yet is convenient for them to discount the numbers that say the Dems will win the White House.

Sharon   February 8th, 2008 2:30 pm ET

YAYYYYYYY!!!!
I really think everyone supporting her thought she had tons of money, so everyone is now really coming through for her.....

Why does obama's web site have innacurate totals for the deligate count????????
Every news media's web site and tv coverage has her ahead by about 90+ deligates....he of course, fiddles with the numbers to make it seem like he's ahead.....THOUGHT HE WAS ALL ABOUT THE TRUTH AND BEING RIGHTOUS?????????
Basically he's not telling the truth.........

LOVED the youtube video of WHOOPI VOTING FOR HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill   February 8th, 2008 2:29 pm ET

How much of this money is from corporate lobbyists? Clinton is the only democrat taking corporate lobbyist money.

Willie McGill   February 8th, 2008 2:29 pm ET

I am delighted Senator Clinton is making inroads into her presidential bid. I sincerely wish her great success.

Jam   February 8th, 2008 2:28 pm ET

Oh, how surprising... after Hillary plays the "pity card" people rush to give her money! How it is that millions of people cannot see through her manipulations is beyond me!!!

Chris, Middletown, CT   February 8th, 2008 2:28 pm ET

Its funny...she plays her supporters..."I had to use 5 million of my own money" – and they open their wallets....its a ploy to get your money....I'm not sure who I'm more baffled by...the one who manipulates...or the ones being manipulated

Mike   February 8th, 2008 2:27 pm ET

Typical of the Clintons... I knew they were lying about being broke...gotta feel sorry for the aids that were duped into taking pay cuts...

Benjamin   February 8th, 2008 2:26 pm ET

As the leader of both pledged and super delegates, Hillary deserves the support. At least she hasn't lowered herself to rock concert rallies that diminish the honor and dignity of the Presidential nomination.

Damian   February 8th, 2008 2:26 pm ET

Thatis $10 million in a week!
Way to go Hillary!
Wish I could donate in Canada.

Hillary supporters should try to match that amount for each of the 3 remaining weeks of February! $10 million each week.

Lets get to it people!
Hillary 08

Ron, TX   February 8th, 2008 2:26 pm ET

She's no Barack Obama!

Kat, PA   February 8th, 2008 2:25 pm ET

If you believe all of this, you all should vote for this idiot. The whole "Hillary had to spend out of her pocket" BS was just another Clinton lie to get the poor saps that support her to donate to her campaign. I call shenanigans!!!

tampa florida   February 8th, 2008 2:25 pm ET

too little, too late

Greatest American Hero   February 8th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

If i am not mistaken....Obama is about 400,00 contributors since February 1st. I cannot wait to see the outcome of donations this month. Good luck to both of them.

Yolanda Diaz   February 8th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

I am one of them – Go Hillary go – Go and vote for Hillary

Boris   February 8th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

Hillary stating she has experience is like the wife of the IBM CEO stating that
she should run IBM because she was married to the CEO. Anyone but Hillary.

Larry Florida   February 8th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

Wonder if Bill has checked his bank balance?

John   February 8th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Looks like someone is trying to keep up...

Good thing Obama set the message of the week to: "Try to keep up"

Which is all Clinton is trying to do now. Good luck!

Dave, MN   February 8th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

This is ridiculous that the candidates are competing for this office to make "change" and help economic issues and yet are forced to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to get the opportunity. This money could be spent solving these problems which we are voting on! Something needs to change, campaign finance limits or equal funding requirments, something to eliminate this need to raise and spend these huge amounts of money on campaigning. I don't have the solution, but we better at least recognize the problem.

Kobina   February 8th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

The Silent Majority Exists. Take that to the bank Obamania cultists

Anonymous   February 8th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

Well Obama is on tv all the time ..
CNN Fox MSMBC give him free time
But don't say anything about how he voted
when he was an Illinois Senator He hit the wrong button 5 times on 5 different bils voted no on raising the minimum wage
So he is getting free timeand they don't bringup that he was not in the Senate to vote for or against the Iraq war I wish someone would ask him these quuestions when he makes all these statements.

Lauren   February 8th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

I really wonder if CNN will even allow this comment to get past moderation...

But what is the deal with CNN printing an article about how much money Clinton has raised, right next to a huge advertisement for Hillary asking people to contribute money to her campaign (on the CNN politics homepage). How ridiculous.

shamous mc   February 8th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

I loaned myself 5 million...I bought an icecream.

Mike   February 8th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

You mean Billary spent the money from the LOBBYIST and DRUG COMPANIES!!

OBAMA is supposed to be the underdog and HE IS KICKING BUTT!!

STAND STRONG FOR CHANGE (OBAMA)

OR

FALL HARD FOR THE SAME (Clinton's)!!!

Why won't Hillary release her tax returns? Obama has released his 2006 and 2007 tax returns and Hillary says she won't release hers until she wins the democratic nomination. I thinks that sounds fishy. Why isn't anyone say anything about this? Obama does what he says he's going to do. Clinton is hiding something.

Di   February 8th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

Way to go Hillary...you are the best!!!

Obama08   February 8th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

To late Hill its all over Obama IS the next leader! Your just delaying the outcome...

YES WE CAN!

Obama/Edwards for Prez. 08

Melissa Bliss   February 8th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

If both campaigns are smart, with McCain being the nominee they can divide and conquer! If Clinton & Obama's campaign both agreed to a certain amount of money to be spent on advertising, contrasting the difference between say for Clinton, her ideas and aspirations versus McCain's and Obama doing the say for his own ideas versus McCain, they can force him to use up any money he rakes in defending himself on two fronts instead of just one. In the end it will be in both their interests to work together on this issue if nothing else.

Inquiring Mind   February 8th, 2008 2:16 pm ET

Hillary just needs to drop out..... Her health care plan is not good and she dosent inspire people as Mr Obama can, and another Clinton in office dosent sound good at all.
If anything Hill be lucky if Obama ask you to be his running mate.

Leah DiMarco, TX   February 8th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

The media focus should focus on WHERE Billary gets their BIG under the table money, income tax returns, and on the scandals that the Republicans will use.

Hillary Clinton scandals:

- The disappearance of the Rose law firm billing records, their later discovery in the White House and Hillary Clinton’s inability to explain how they got there.

- Her huge and inexplicable winnings in a cattle futures operation

- Her role in the Whitewater development which was – although the media refuses to admit it – simply a land resort scam and one that was particularly aimed at seniors.

- Her role in the despicable White House travel office firings apparently aimed at favoring the travel firm that bankrolled Bill Clinton’s campaign by delayed billing.

- Her role in the use of FBI files on political opponents and the open question of what information from these files she still possesses.

- A case, still in court, involving the alleged failure to report over a million dollars in campaign contributions. Clinton’s Senate campaign has already been fined by the FEC for failing to accurately report $700,000 in contributions.

- Her relationship with such indisputably dubious persons such as Johnny Chung, John Huang, Ng Lap Seng, Mochtar Riady, the McDougalds, Craig Livingstone, Webster Hubbell and Jorge Cabrera

JB Hull, IA   February 8th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

I wish that everyone who has been on here complaining about a "pro-Obama" bias over the past few days would take a look at the CNN front page today. This place didn't earn the nickname "clinton news network" for nothing

Lauren   February 8th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

Too bad she had to lie to her supporters about her staffers going without pay to raise this money. And why is she so afraid to reveal her tax returns?

Don't know about you, but honest matters to me.

Nita   February 8th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

Don't give up on Hillary. In fact, if you help her to rise, you will rise with her and help her make this country the wonderful, wonderful place where every man and every woman can live freely without sanctimonious piety and without crippling fear.

Rise, Hillary.

Rise.

kw   February 8th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Way to go Hillary supporters. I am sure right now Obama staffers are going to come out and say we raised 11 million.

chris   February 8th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

great...now we know money won't favor any of the candidates, let's the game begins

Joe Vanderbosch, Appleton, WI   February 8th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

People are starting to wake up.

DrFill   February 8th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Obama's getting more donations than you.
We know this already.
I don't need your daily tally.
You are losing in this competition YOU are starting.
Just like you will in August.
You look desperate for publicity when you give us a daily report.
Pay your people.
And hope ignorance carries the day.
Thank you.

DrFill

Texas   February 8th, 2008 2:11 pm ET

Go HIllary! I just donated for the first time, and will again!

Go Hillary!! TEXAS is wating for you, you have our support!!

snyggast   February 8th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

Not to mention CNN is putting her ad on every page.

Now she wants Florida and Michigan votes to count.

But knowing her, she didn't visit Florida for no reason. Hilary's always calculating...
