Clinton's campaign said it raised $3 million in the day after its string of victories.
Clinton's campaign said it raised $3 million in the day after its string of victories.

(CNN) - Hillary Clinton’s campaign has raised $3 million online since her string of victories Tuesday night, an aide said Thursday.

Since lending her campaign $5 million shortly before the February 5 Super Tuesday contests, Clinton’s fundraising fortunes have improved considerably, though Barack Obama’s campaign has continued to outspend her.

Donations to Clinton’s campaign climbed from $14 million in January to roughly $35 million in February. Obama’s campaign raised $36 million in January, and has not yet released its February fundraising numbers. His advisers have said only that the total is “considerably higher” than Clinton’s.

The New York senator won three out of four Democratic primaries Tuesday night, beating Obama in Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island. Obama claimed a victory in Vermont.

1:00 p.m. UPDATE: Clinton's campaign announced it has raised $4 million since Tuesday's contests and $6 million in the month of March.

What are chances of an American family making it to the white house in their lifetime? How selfish, power hungry, and self-serving do you have to be, to think you actually deserve this honor twice in a lifetime. It would be amazing to have a female president, but isn't there another woman who is more deserving than someone who has already spent 8 years there? Unbelievably, selfish.

Taxpayer   March 6th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

How sad Obama has had these figures since the end of February, but did not release them unitl the Clinton campaign announced their $3 million dollars raised in 24 hours. I had noticed that they had been alluding to "over 50 million in the month of February" Each of their fundraising announcements was made AFTER THE Clinton campaign announced their figures. Obvously to take the wind out of the sails of the Clinton campaign. I am proud to be a donor to the Hillary Clinton campaign. Many of her supporters did not realize fundraising was needed until AFTER she loaned her campaign money. At that point, we all started chipping in. Thank goodness we believe in Hillary Clinton. Thank goodness our candidate was focusing on the issues important to us like health care, american jobs, green energy and the mortgage crisis to name a few. Thank goodness she was able to compete with half the funds...and thank goodness she is moving forward.

I saw an exit poll that said "very few" republicans had cast their votes for Hillary, despite Coulter and Limbaughs comments to do just that. That's because Hillary is a DEMOCRAT. (That has reached across the aisle on numerous bills...something Obama has NOT done. However, Obama has been touting his Republican votes as a strength.

Anyone who does not see the Republican motives in voting for him in the democratic primary, is not someone I want as my President. To use this arguement as "unifying" is naive. It certainly is not the Republican based- conservatives, who are voting for him. They voted for Romney and Huckabee. Nor is it the Republican moderates. McCain is their man! His votes seem to be coming from the "ditto heads" who realized the Republican nominee was a foregone conclusion, so they padded our primary with votes for someone they feel sure to beat in November. Come on people...open your eyes. Voting is not only a priveledge, it is a responsibilty. Please, vote, responsibly.

canadian observer   March 6th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

"The Clinton campaign has been raising $3 million a day since Clinton's victories Tuesday, a campaign adviser tells CNN."

A day? That would be one day. Let;s separate exaggerations and facts.

Candice   March 6th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

Obama is clearly the best hope for the democratic party and this COUNTRY! Go Obama.

CA boomer for CHANGE   March 6th, 2008 3:58 pm ET

Well Brian... if you think voting for Obama will lead to a socialist government....... You will definitely not want to support Hillary and her socailized healthcare plan!! I hope you are planning to vote for McCain, because that will be your only remaining viable option.

Abby   March 6th, 2008 3:42 pm ET

Please i need clarification on why Florida and Michigan are continuously added to Hillary Clinton's wins. I think it is proper that if those states are in controversy they should be left alone until we all know what the decision is about them. If she appeared alone on the Michigan ballot then that means there was no election in that state. so how can there be a winner?. If this continues then America is running politics like Africa. Please give each candidtate credit only in states where election was held while playing by the rules. Why cant she follow simple instructions?

SONIA   March 6th, 2008 3:04 pm ET

OBAMA SPENT 47 MILLION IN 4 STATES
HE SPENT 17 MILLION IN ADS

HILLARY ONLY SPENT 7 MILLION IN ADS

HILLARY WON ,,AND OBAMA LOST

WOW,,GOOD JOB OBAMA,

T Brown   March 6th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

Thank you Hillary but I feel the Democratic Party is dividing this party by leaving Florida out, Howard Dean is already putting his spin on CNN,
saying that this is in the middle of the game, and from the beginning when we got stripped from our Electoral Votes, Senator Nelson has made Petitions, we even went to the courts in Florida, now for the leaders in Washington to take our vote and our voice? That is terrible. CNN says that Obama is the best candidate to confront McCain and it is not truth, because many in Florida will not vote for Obama so we will not vote or vote Republican, so one more time The Democratic Party is to blame for this ugly division, I myself contribute some money for Hillary's campaign and I know very well how wonderful were the years of President Clinton, prosperous and no deficit, another thing I want to say, Obama claims that Hillary does not have the experience, but I remember the days of Goldwater and yes she has experience, she is diplomatic, beautiful and Knows the world leaders. So let us pray our votes in Florida be counted. Obama is a liar, he said he was never a Muslim and He was raised a Muslim, he lied about NAFTA and denied what happened in Canada, we cannot trust this man that is funded by corruption. Talk is cheap, he is a good speaker and that is all. Go Hillary 2008. Sincerely a fan.

Joe St Louis, MO   March 6th, 2008 2:51 pm ET

When she takes over and youre all broke from her TAXES to pay for the poor and gas prices soar due to her 35 years of diplomatic experience. You will realize what a sham she is. Remember the Clintons gave the white house to GW Bush and the rest is history.

WAR, ECONOMIC DOWN FALL, RELIGIOUS LEADERSHIP.

IDOITS....I WANT A CHANGE.

WE WILL VOTE TO STOP HILLARY. As will everyone I know.

Timothy B. Robinson   March 6th, 2008 2:46 pm ET

Keep it up, Hillary. I donated last night. Obviously you're spending the money in the right places. Keep on spending, Obama...and dreaming of change...

HILLARY '08 & '12

doug   March 6th, 2008 2:34 pm ET

Obama just released numbers for Feb., More than 55 million dollars. GO Obama.

Taj   March 6th, 2008 2:32 pm ET

Just as Obama asks why Hillary hasn't released her tax returns (which she said she will in April), I ask why Obama hasn't released his correspondence and details of his relationship with TONY REZKO??!!

dewayne   March 6th, 2008 2:32 pm ET

I LOVE HILLARY CLINTON....SHE IS THE STRONGEST WOMAN I KNOW...ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE...AND FOR ALL YOU HATERS, HILLARY LOVES YOU ANYWAY, SO HATE ON....

Leslie Somerville, Seattle, Washington   March 6th, 2008 2:31 pm ET

Hillary. You are terrific. More money from me coming to you girl.
GO AFTER OBAMA WITH ALL YOU HAVE SENATOR!!!!!!!! There is definitely an incredible story concerning this Rezko freak. Barack still has lots of the money Rezko gave to him-go to ABC.com (they are not pro-Obama) You will get a lot of info. from Slate, CBS and NBC.com. Their relationship has gone back many, many years. Have you SEEN THE SIZE OF THE MANSION THAT THE OBAMA'S GOT SO CHEAP (ya right) It makes me sick that all these Obama supporters think that something creepy is going to be the Clinton's tax returns for 2007. All her records are public right now from 2006 going backwards–they were making the same amount of money then as now–get a life "Obama people." Talk about fear mongering Obama.
Go ride your little tricyle with training wheels back to your 15 bathroom cottage.

doug   March 6th, 2008 2:30 pm ET

Lets see, now Obama has picked up three more today, seems like every million bucks she claims to pick up she loses another super.

BinPA   March 6th, 2008 2:26 pm ET

$3,000,000 so what!

Precisely how many days has she had a lead in pledged delegates?

ZERO.

Blah   March 6th, 2008 2:25 pm ET

Here go the Obama supporters with the lies again.

Fact check for the Obama supporters saying Republicans supported Hillary Clinton. Look at CNN Exit Polls:

9% of people who voted in TX Primaries were Republican.
- OF THESE 9%:
– 53% voted for Barack Obama
– 46% voted for Hillary Clinton.

Now I ask you this, How did Republicans put Hillary over the top?

EFabian   March 6th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Good for you Hillary.

GO GO GO HILLARY!!

NO NO NOBAMA.

puhleez   March 6th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

First, how many times do you need to be told she's said she'll release the returns before PA? And how much of her financial history is *already* in the public domain?? Sounds like Obama's the "desperate" and "whiny" one now. Why won't he come clean about Rezko? Provide a schedule of his legislative doings in IL? Detail his own porkbarrel projects and kickbacks? Clean slate my #$)
IMO the H in the middle of his name is HYPOCRITE.

But more importantly I would like to point out to those crying about the $3 million that she "must have raised from special interests" or "from overseas" or "from herself" that in fact, that money came from INDIVIDUALS who support her, and believe that SHE IS BEST ABLE TO LEAD THIS COUNTRY. Concept.

Are you trying to say that it's wrong for people who don't have a lot of money to spare to fight to be heard above the swooning and support the candidate they believe can oh I don't know, make things BETTER for them? So, therefore, decisions should only be made by those with enough to afford to vote on idealism?

Maybe it's not coming from big doners. Maybe just maybe she has a lot of supporters even if they can't fork out what Oprah can.

Pardon me for not believing that Mr. Second Coming (not sure yet if it's JFK, MLK or Jesus.. or all of the above. Wait, sorry forgot Elvis) is all he's cracking himself up to be. Seems to me someone who is running on his supposed judgment should have thought better about Rezko (a move he himself called "boneheaded"). Some judgment. And the guy who says he's going to go change Washington might've stayed long enough in Illinois to change a few things there first to prove it. Last time I checked, Chicago wasn't on the forefront of political ethics. Was that not good enough for his political ambitions anymore? Or did he simply need a "change" of scenery....?

Remember the last president who ran on "change"?? Who said he was a uniter not a divider?

Yeah. That turned out swell.

ChrisSmith   March 6th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Dear Ohioans -

Thanks so much for not seeing the through my fallacious arguments. Yes, I know, I know. You've lost so many jobs because of NAFTA....but I didn't support NAFTA when my husband Bill championed for it. Really, I didn't. Honest. But, I do need to count HIS time in office toward MY "experience"....all except for that NAFTA thing that cost you all dearly.

Now, will you all keep your mouths shut so I can make the same case in Pennsylvania? Really, you will be rewarded when I'm president...I PROMISE.

Oh, and to all you union members, I appreciate your votes...even though the unions actually endorsed the "other guy".

See you in four years...

Love -
Hillary

RSP   March 6th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

The longer the fight between Obama and Hillary goes on, the more polarized the Democrats will become, and McCain will win in November, because you have pissed off half the Democrats. Howard Dean can take responsibility, because he made a mess of Florida and Michigan

RSP   March 6th, 2008 2:16 pm ET

MS, I agree. Howard Dean and the National Democrat Party, by not acknowledging Michigan and Florida's voters, are the ones splitting the party. Clinton and Obama are doing their best to remain civil during this race, but the Democratic Party needs to end this now. If the Democratic Party is confused about how to seat the delgates from Florida and Michigan, and can't figure out what to do, how can we trust that a Democrat can clean up the mess in the White House and in Iraq? Leave it to the Democrats to squander a golden opportunity in '08.

Carol Myers   March 6th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

I I just donated $100. Maybe I'll be in the next two days 3 million.

I called every one I know so I feel that I helped you win in Ohio. Also my daughter voted for you in Cal.along with some of her friends.
Go Hillary!!!
Carol Oh.

roger lodge Wisconsin   March 6th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

obama camp is desperate.
they are broke.
they are still used to the media being nice to them, but clearly thats over now and obama's true colors of inexperience and being fake have come out.
obama is finished

Lioness   March 6th, 2008 2:11 pm ET

Ahhhh.... I wonder how much of that money came from Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter – both of whom have told their supporters to help Hillary win the nomination so that she can be trounced by McCain. Wouldn't I love to see the list of donors. I know it won't happen, though. Not when the Clintons are balking at releasing something as simple as their tax returns.

Lisa   March 6th, 2008 2:11 pm ET

As a African American female, I do not appreciate Hillary's character. The Presidential Office is an honorable venture. However, fighting in the mud and promoting deception are not characteristics that I will tolerate in our President. If Hillary wins, I will vote for the Republicans! We will have 100 years of war, jobs will go oversees, and the economy will suffer.

The root cause is that uneducated members of our society and individuals making less than $50K do not have time to focus on global matters. They are making decisions based upon rumors and non-factional data. It is also possible that fighting in the mud appeals to some members of society.

Unfortunately, these people will suffer the most. Who are these people: white people making minimal wages in the rural areas, spanish people working $7/hour jobs, and african american people making minimum wages.

Character matters! It impacts Presidential decisions, relationships and the American people.

Brian from CA   March 6th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

I am an independent and I would never vote for Obama because I think he is too liberal. He is ranked as the most liberal senator by an independent and non-partisan study. I do not want America to become a socialist country.

Amy, Kazoo   March 6th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

I love how it's just taken on faith that all of Obama's money comes from small donations from supporters but Clinton supporters can't do the same? Clinton has plenty of people donating on her site. She is not the first candidate to ever loan their campaign money, and she won't be the last. But simply because she did it once, it doesn't mean that's the only place the money comes from. How undemocratic some of you people have allowed yourselves to become. Slandering your own party's supporters. It's sad how some people here have to resort to typical right-winged tactics to get their attacks across. So much for change from typical washington. How about we start shooting for change from typical AMERICA.

Haley Rodman Clemson   March 6th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

What about Ralph Nader? Who is donating to him? Simply not fair.

Ratgurl   March 6th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

....and WHERE did this money come from?

Nelson, Colorado Springs Co   March 6th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

Good job get the money first, run on Sen Clinton, Go Obama

Emily   March 6th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

This is democracy in action and it is so Awesome! This thing has take n so many twists and turns and it is not nearly over. I hope that Hillary wins, because I feel that she is the better qualified, and I hope that Obama finds his place in history in due time. Go Hillary!!

bakersfield   March 6th, 2008 2:08 pm ET

quit with the tax return issue dead line for tax returns is april 15 she is smarter then that there won't be anything there.
obama supporters are dying out once the truth came out on obama rezko, canada and william ayer theres more don't worry.
remember politicians are historically a little crooked, the young voters don't know that yet they are finding out.
what is more of a concern is 80-10 average black vote compared to the white vote split ( reverse racism possible ). could luis farrakan follows be the ones pushing so hard in the caucus states?

Mark in Missouri   March 6th, 2008 2:08 pm ET

Hillary is not a fighter. She's ravenously and desperately hungry for power, as evidenced by her willingness to do/say absolutely anything to gain an edge (prey on American prejudices with photos she "knew nothing about", play the fear card with doomsday commercials, hiding her tax returns). Nothing will change if we let her into the White House.

K.Celina IL   March 6th, 2008 2:08 pm ET

Obama raised 7 million na na na na nah!

lowland   March 6th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

i love that obama has not released something right below a story where he attacks clinton for not releasing things. Interesting. He is a politician...stop trying to pretend not to be.

Adam - TX   March 6th, 2008 2:06 pm ET

Way to go Hillary! Keep up the fight!! We want you answering the phone at 3a.m. The only person calling Obama at 3a.m. is Tony Rezko needing bail money!

Hillary '08!!

MikeSmith   March 6th, 2008 2:06 pm ET

If CNN loves this nation, they would NEVER let the Clintons back in that White House.

The world is watching us self-destruct, and I trust the "wisdom" of CNN to query Hillary on several issues:

1. Past behavior is the BEST predictor of future behavior. Bill will likely offend again, and Hillary will continue to divide this nation.

2. Is Hillary's run for a place for Chelease in the future or for this nation?

3. How will Hillary manage Bill and this nation at the same time?

4. If Hillary continues to fight with the Republicans, how can any solution get implemented?

5. How can anyone reward a nation or even the "majority" of people for breaking rules? FL and Michigan BROKE the rules, period!

Goodheart   March 6th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

Obama can only win small states and caucuses (where not everyone votes). Go Hillary!

Dale   March 6th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

sorry people, but that rezco case in Europe does not have Obama on it. so all of the Hillary apologists/losers need to find another dead horse to kick. also, looks like Obama is going to win TX, not Hillary. check those caucas results before declaring victory you dummy.

Chris from California   March 6th, 2008 2:02 pm ET

I will be sending my 7th contribution to the Hillary Clinton campaign tomorrow.

Hillary Clinton is the only candidate that can get this country back on the right course. She has the experience and the willingness to work hard, even in the midst of adversity, to straighten things out for our country domestically and internationally.

GO HILLARY!!! 2009

L. Tran, TX   March 6th, 2008 2:02 pm ET

Obama lost Texas and Ohio because, among other things
1- You should not say bad thing about NAFTA in Texas and the Southwest
2- Ohio voters did not buy his NAFTA ideas

Obama bets NAFTA on Texas and Ohio and lost both.

I happily donated twice this month alone, and many times before then. I will continue to donate and support the best candidate, Hillary Clinton. And if You care about our country, you will too. So, you ask, where is this money coming from? Well, from little people like me, just an RN from the Jersey Shore, trying to do the Right thing. She has my FULL support. And you should all wake up and follow suit.

Farrell, Houston, Tx   March 6th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

I wonder how the Clintons protected Chelsea from all their bad press, looks like she turned out pretty good. But I don't trust Hillary to protect me or mine. Vote Obama.

Adam-Atl. GA   March 6th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

Both Clinton and Obama supporters have plenty of reason to be mad at the media-biased "see-saw"...however, for almost 2 straight months, Obama was adored by CNN and other networks....he could do no wrong. Now, it appears the media has some biased coverage towards Clinton, yet amazing how the Obama supporters cannot handle it at all....

Carol   March 6th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

How does Hillary know she raised $3 million in a day? I thought she was too busy to release her taxes. Oh yeah, it is because large sums came from lobbyists and PACs and that is easy to keep track of. How many regular citizens contributed to Hillary? I bet it isn't even close to one million.

BTW: The reason Hillary won 2 states (Texas is still counting and it looks like Obama is going to earn more delegates there) after losing 111 in a row is because she put all her eggs in Ohio's basket and basically skipped many of the other 'unimportant' states,' sending her surrogates Bill and Chelsea instead.

Splitting 4 states after losing 11 has not changed the momentum. CNN has done that for her by glorifying her wins, not reporting on Peter Paul, not doing their homework to point out Obama answered many questions about Rezko in the Chicago Sun-Times way back in 2005, etc.

Mona   March 6th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

America, I'm proud of you even more for showing a fight for the "TOP JOB". Obama may raise/outspend Hillary more, but guess what, the people of the 50 states of America get to decide who they want in the WH not the big donors. This race is not about money, nor race, nor sex, it's about the people and their right to voice their choice in electing the next PRESIDENT not the next american idol.
Go HILLARY. WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK. Women always have stood beside/behind their men giving them the support to achieve their dreams, now it's time to swap over. Surely this is not a problem:)
We are equal now..... after all Women got the right to vote last behind whites and black and we got it not because of male support but despite it and if we can put that behind us, surely ye can do the same.

Chris   March 6th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Updated | 12:45 p.m.: Peter Daou, the Clinton campaign’s internet director, offered up some additional details on fund-raising since Tuesday.
Since polls closed on Tuesday through noon today, the campaign has brought in $4 million from 40,000 donors, 30,000 of them new to the campaign.

Dating from March 1, the campaign has raised $6 million, a rate of about a million dollars a day.
For anyone looking to make an apples-to-apples comparison of 24-hour periods after Tuesday’s results, the campaign collected $3 million from midnight that night to midnight the following day.

CA boomer for CHANGE   March 6th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

If not for the medias hyping of the Obama phenomena, Hillary's very narrow win in Texas (and loss in the caucus), and victories in 2 states she was always supposed to win would not be notable. This is the spouse of a very popular former president........ a member of the so-called first family of Dem politics. I would have been surprised if she had not done at least this well in these states.....

I am certain the upstart younger senator from Illinois was not even considered a speed bump in the road on her way to the presidency. Well he is here to stay and I am convinced, that considering all of the obstacles he has already overcome in his life, he has prepared to do battle with the mighty Clinton Machine. He is the change the country needs and deserves. I am sending in another donation to the cause!!!

End Game   March 6th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

Amazing one democrat asking another about their tax return.

Tax return are for the IRS, NOT for Obama personal review. He thinks he is running an independent ticket under a democratic heading, real apparent now.
Obama needs to discuss his plans in his AD's and paper fliers, he only shows what he does not like about his opponent, what is your plans and how to accouplish them would be better, OPPS NOT MUCH TO SAY THAT WAY.
Clinton has only shown positive plans on paper, Obama has yet to show any positive plans or hold a signal town hall meeting. It is quite apparent why, direct feedback is hard to come by with this guy.

Hillary's positive resume will get the JOB, a negative about an opponent does not carry the day as a resume.
Sorry JR Senator from ILL we want to know about YOU, not what you don't like about your opponent. It is your resume we want to see.

Can someone from CNN please explain it ALL the voters around this country – How can CNN or any media for that matter flash the entire web page with Senator Clinton's picture and claim that her wins on March 4th is a HUGE victory. She said "MEET ME IN TEXAS, MEET ME IN OHIO" and what not to Senator Obama and claimed that those states are custom made for her and yet win JUST 10 EXTRA DELEGATES than Senator Obama.
Did Hillary Clinton scare you folks with her "pro-obama media" comment?

If of if Hilary dose not win the nomination and obama gets it will very bad for democrats. He is very inexperience; lies a lot and no served this country. Almost all Latino’s and Asian do no like him because of his color. They rather vote for the war hero McCain this is a fact. In order for him to win he needs these votes.

so hilary needs to win

Joe   March 6th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

Clinton can spew her money strengths to the media (I doubt it's even true) but won't release her tax returns? What are you hiding Clinton? Afraid the public will find you out? This is why there will never be a joint ticket...Sen. Obama has nothing to hide. Clinton always has and always will. Stop being a coward, Hillary. We need strength like Sen. Obama not a coward like you.

Keep in mind...... She is still not the Democratic Front Runner!!!!!!!!!!!!People lets do the math.

Arthur-Texas   March 6th, 2008 1:46 pm ET

Good job Hillary! All you need is to raise half of what Obama raises,becuase he will out spend you by that much like he did in Texas and Ohio and still come out the big loser.

Third voice   March 6th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

She makes this known so quickly and yet, still hides her tax return! What a hypcrite!

Robert, WA   March 6th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

I decided for every post that see for Hillary that says "you go girl" (ugh makes me want to PUKE NAILS) that I will donate at a minimum $1 to the Obama camp....

Obamana   March 6th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

Hillary,

You a very strong woman. You have proved America and the world that you are ready to be the next President of United State of America.

Go Hilarry!

PETER PAUL   March 6th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

THAT'S A GOOD POINT WE THE PEOPLE 66 MADE...WHERE ARE YOUR INCOME TAX RECORDS YOU PROMISED AFTER MARCH 4TH ELECTIONS?

OBAMA HAS HIS TAXES ON PUBLIC RECORD.... WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?

OBAMA HAS BEEN TRANSPARENT WITH HIS TAX RECORDS, WHY HASN'T HILLARY?

Deb   March 6th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

The prayers and donations will only continue to come.

OB Thugs GO Home!

I'm really sick of reading your negative comments that serve no real purpose.

dam   March 6th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

so much hate in this blog,you guys should be a shamed of yourself.
who cares about her tax return,there are other serious issues then crap like this.
And by the way ,"way to go Hillary!!"

California 4 Hillary   March 6th, 2008 1:43 pm ET

On Tuesday evening I donated – again – to Hillary's campaign. I consider it money well-spent. And, don't worry, when she gets the nomination, she can count on me for more.

First time Donor   March 6th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

I've donated for the first time in my life to political campaign yesterday. It was the maximum donation for primary, I've donated to Senator Hillary Clinton.

Paul TX   March 6th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

AnyoneButHillary: You so live in the past. Most would probably feel the same about your face but the people deal with it.

First of all, she WILL be president so get used to it.
Second of all, if you follow the media at all, you'll notice that they are all biased towards Obama. CNN no longer stands for Clinton News Network. CNN has been leaning towards Obama for months. Get your facts straight before you waste our time reading your stupid comments.

david   March 6th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

STOP THE KOOL-AID. VOTE HILLARY!!

wethepeople66   March 6th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

WHERE ARE THOSE INCOME TAXES PROMISED YOU WOULD SUBMIT AFTER THE MARCH 4TH ELECTIONS HILLARY?

WHY SHOULD WE TRUST THE COUNTRY TO YOU , WHEN YOU CAN'T BE HONEST WITH YOUR INCOME TAX RETURNS?

WHAT ARE YOU HIDING THAT IS SCARING YOU FROM FULL DISCLOSURE?

Claire from Houston   March 6th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

Yesterday, I gave Obama a big donation. I've never donated to any candidate before. And, oh yeah, I'm a registered Republican.

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

joseph   March 6th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

What are you hiding in your tax returns Billary? Did you forget to mention you took money from Rezko in the past? How about the illegal campaign contributions from Peter Paul? Why can't your husband keep his pants on, even in the oval office?

Scoreboard Obama

Steve, NYC, NY   March 6th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

All those people who think Obama does not take money from corporate lobbyist and special interest need to WAKE UP! Of course he is, there is evidence everywhere, just try looking. He says he doesn't so you believe him? Give me a break, Obama is just as dirty as the next person. The difference is she has a long history of doing the right thing for Americans.

RSP   March 6th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

Hillary supporters earn under $100,000 a year, have little college education, are overwhelmingly poor and scared. They can't afford to have "dreams", because in their world, dreams don't pay the bills. The Obama supporter, on the other hand is educated and makes upward of $100,000, or is a student, and supported by his parents. That's why this faith-based campaign for Obama will fail.

Brian   March 6th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

I donated $100 to Hillary last night. Nobody seems to remember that Obama outspent her in ALL FOUR of the states in Tuesday's elections, but she still won 3 of them. So now the tide is turning, and Obama is getting anxious. I am also pleased to see the greater media and public scrutiny of Obama in the last few days–particularly with regards to his shady deals with Tony Rezko. Let us remember, folks, that most of Obama's supporters had NEVER EVEN HEARD of him four months ago–he needs to be investigated and vetted, so we know everything we need to know about him. I suspect Obama has more skeletons in the closet that we will learn about in the coming weeks.

Al, Sacramento Ca   March 6th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

Madam President

She's the man!!!

Lation for Hillary 08!!!

david   March 6th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

YOU GO GIRL!!

Keep in mind, money can't always buy a vote. Omaba spent 10 million dollars advertising in Texas and STILL didn't beat her!!!!

HILLARY 08

Ann Aloha FariMedia, PA   March 6th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

Go Florida and Michigan!!!
So much for the "Beauty Pageant" and the fact that ALL the "SO CALLED" experts like Shuster and Cooper and how they tillted the election coverages to favor Senator Obama...Now the crow will be served.
The hatred for Senator Clinton will bite all the Obamanites in the buttocks. Including the Pro-Obama media.

tj   March 6th, 2008 1:39 pm ET

to AnyoneButHillary
because of such people as you there is this hateness.
if you feel hate go to church and heal your soul.
Hillary proved she is smart, courageious, experienced candidat and a fighter.
She will fight the interest of working people till the end.
And such candidate deserves to be the President of this great country.
She has to fight not only other candidates but also all this biased sold media who only pretend to be objective but in reality started this ugly fight against both Clinton from the very start of the company.
Many people being hypnotized by sweet Obama's speeches in one moment forgot how much good things Bill and Hillary did in their lifes for ordinary people ( and black people particularly) and turned agains
them.
It's a shame.
I admire the courage with which Hillary continue her fights in spite of everything.
Hope she 'll win.
Again for this person whol hates her face I advice better to look at Bush

wethepeople66   March 6th, 2008 1:39 pm ET

Maybe now hillary can pay her staff on time, and run more "fear mongering" ads.

Paul TX   March 6th, 2008 1:38 pm ET

Her money comes from the people that believe in her. I get her emails quite often requesting pledges. I got from Obama once and replied back laughing. So you see, Obama is not above sending emails asking for donations either.

Mike, Arkansas   March 6th, 2008 1:38 pm ET

Obama had 1 million contribute to his campaign long ago.. and recently in one day he got 1 million to make calls to someone. Just ordinary people, not wealthy rich folks.. but the common people of america. I was one of the 1 million and I didnt give much because with the economy I cant afford it... but I did give and I would encourage anyone to do the same... even if its only $10!

Hillary is bluffing... have her show those records! Oh I forgot it would probably take 5 years or more to do so. Maybe a something will come of the news in court about some discrepancy in a few years from now like everything else she does.

simon   March 6th, 2008 1:37 pm ET

Go Hillary!! Despite Obama outspent her on ads 2-to-1 on Super Tuesday II and his new adorements, Hillary still came out the big winner that night winning Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island. I think people are finally realized inspirational speeches can only do so much, we need solutions and Hillary is the one who CAN and WILL deliver.

voter   March 6th, 2008 1:37 pm ET

did this money come from lobbiest since she enjoys taking money from them.

To ALL VOTERS !!!!!!!!   March 6th, 2008 1:37 pm ET

I hope I will place the comment as others Obama's supporters are able to do so.
I wish all VOTERS could clear out their mind going forward with this 2008 Election.
I wish We could have all Candidates Americans!!!!!
Not muslim, not first generation !!!!!!
We need American , smart, strong, with good judgement and clear record !!!!!!
I advice ALL VOTERS TO READ NEWSPAPER ARTICLES about today trial in Chicago related to Rezko ( OBama's name is pritty tide to this case , in his early politycal carrier and purchesing the property in a price below the market value !!!!) Not good for future candidate for Presidency. Mr Obama colled the tide , "MISTAKE" I don't think IT WAS A MISTAKE !!!!!!!!!
VOTERS VOTE FOR CLEAR RECORD CANDIADATE !!!!!!
HILLARY 2008 HILLARY IS BETTER CANDIDATE !!!!!!!!!!!

look byond   March 6th, 2008 1:37 pm ET

This is another political tactics the Hilary campaign are using,
since they know that majority of their viewers or supporters do not verify or do their own research as to the accuracy of the news they received.

The Obama campaign has already raised almost 6 millions dollars as of 12.00 midday today, but you will not hear them BRAGGGGGGGGGGGG about it.

This is the campaign that have substance and real change for America.

GO OBAMA GO………………………………………..

WE NEED YOU, WE ARE BEHIND YOU ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joshua   March 6th, 2008 1:37 pm ET

I'll donate more. Go Hillary!!!

Those who donated to Obummer Wink Wink, sorry, what you've got was Snake Oil...

andrew   March 6th, 2008 1:37 pm ET

Maybe after a year of being the chairman of the European Affairs subcommittee of the Senate Foreign Relations, He can finally call a meeting and start working to protect America.

Kathy from Michigan   March 6th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

This message is for Charlotte, The case has been approved for appeal. The judge just two weeks ago admonished David Kendall and reminded him that he didn't care if Hillary was served on the Campaign Trail. It is not over. Bill, Hillary and Chelsea are right now under supeonea to give depositons under oath. The trial will occur probably around the general election. I have been reading the court filings for days now. Unfortunately for us Democrats its not over.

Paul TX   March 6th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

Oh, and those of you stating that Ron Paul raised $6 million.......THAT'S OLD NEWS.....GET A LIFE.

Whiskey   March 6th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

Hillary....NO YOU WONT. Its impossible. Bow out and get behind americas candidate.

HILLARY SUPPORTER   March 6th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

RELEASE THOSE TAX RETURNS!!! I NEED TO KNOW WHO I'M VOTING FOR.

Alice   March 6th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

Good....she'll need to money for her defense during HER fraud trial in October 2008. BTW CNN, why aren't you and the other news organizations mentioning Hillary legal problems, especially in light of Obama's alleged ties to Rezko?

George   March 6th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

George Bush must have applied Scooter Libby justict and released some of the Clinton's big donnors out of jail. At last count, 12 of the Clinton's biggest donnors are in jail, with 2 more to join them soon – Norman Hsu and Tony Rezko.

Search for "Tony Rezko" and you will find picture of him standing in between ... you guessed it ... Hillary and Bill Clinton. Professionally, in front of blue drapes and American flags.

vh   March 6th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

All of you Hilliary supporters did you know that she is involved in fiscal fraud. that she also will leave our military in iraq longer than she proclaim to. did you know she was going to use 5 billion to help her so call middle to low-income people. when in actuality that means our taxes will increase because her so call plan will cost between 60 to a 100 billion dollars. so where is it coming from? she claims to preserve our constitution but she has yet to read it. with her preserving it, it affects our due process of law and will affect out 1st amendment. her experience on national security she has none. ask her about the white gate scandal

Emmanuel, Chicago   March 6th, 2008 1:33 pm ET

Hillary will do and say anything to grab power. Hillary had her chance as first lady but she could not influence any real good change for people. Remmember Elenor Roosevelt, she was a first lady that used her close proximity to power to impact America and the World.

Hillary and Bill promised America a solution to health care but Hillary failed to deliver because of her devissive and "know it all" approach. Hillary cannot win the elections, Republicans will come together in droves to prevent Hillary and Bill from the oval office, so will Obama supporters. I will not vote for Hillary under any circumstances, I will vote for Mcain instead.

Whiskey   March 6th, 2008 1:33 pm ET

hillary makes democrats look bad....she is dividing the party to stroke her own ego. Even feminists hate her.

Landers   March 6th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

What do we get when Hillary Clinton raises $3 million in one day coupled with wins in Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island? We get hate and rage from Obama supporters. What a shock.

What if Senator Clinton wins Pennsylvania and goes on to win the do overs in Michigan and Florida?

If that happens, which is a real possibility, look for the true character of Obama and his supporters. More Hate and more Rage!

Lesley, Austin, Texas   March 6th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

Clinton's campaign slogan: Fueled by Hate

Obama 08!

Kerry   March 6th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

In Canada, there is now an investigation in to who and why did a Canadian official release a memo about NAFTA to the media. In fact, Clinton's aides made similar comments to Canadian officials, but SOMEBODY paid a Canadian official to leak a memo attacking Obama.

There is now credible source that it was either the Republicans or Bill Clinton who were behind the Obama smear.

Roger   March 6th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

Once again as you read. Up-beat positive comments from Team Hillary and nothing but spite & hate from the great uniters team. Hillary and her supporters have a positive message for America and we welcome all to be a part of it. With the Obama supporters it's him or nobody. This is not uniting. And remember in November these delegates won't mean squat. In November it will come down to the states we must win to retake the White House. It'll take the states Hillary has won.

Kathy from Michigan   March 6th, 2008 1:29 pm ET

Let's give it another try.... Paul v. Clinton in Los Angeles Superior Court – Fraud case to go to trial in the Fall of 2008. Research it for yourselves folks.

Pam from PA   March 6th, 2008 1:29 pm ET

Obama out spent Hillary 2 to 1 and she still managed to win big on Tuesday. I will donate again because thats money well spent.Go Hillary Pa has got your back!!!!

Daniela   March 6th, 2008 1:29 pm ET

Her victories weren't amazing!! She had a double digit lead two weeks back!! I can't believe all the spinning that is going on!!! It makes me sick!!

Drew   March 6th, 2008 1:29 pm ET

I wonder how much of the $3 million she donated herself? I guess we would know if she would release her tax returns…

Dude, are you retarded? That wouldn't show up until next year when 2008's money is filed. This year's return would show 2007's data. But to answer your question, all the millions of her supporters have donated the money. If you sought information out yourself instead of depending on supposition and/or rumor you'd know that.

RightyTighty   March 6th, 2008 1:29 pm ET

Just mailed out my check. And I'll send in double if she makes it all the way to July!

Ha Ha!!

Preston L Harden   March 6th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

The Clintons are the past – America is moving into a New Day and a New World. Since Hillary endorsed McCain – perhaps she should run as his VP.

GO OBAMA!!!!!

At any rate, Obama raised over $50M last month.

Our 44th US President Barack Obama – LOVE IT...........

sam   March 6th, 2008 1:27 pm ET

is it April 15th the last day to file your tax so maybe she did not do her tax yet so wait til April 15th, and Obama with NAFTA and the Canadians when his advisor tell the Canadian it just politics maybe everything he said is just politics IRAQ ECONOMY i dont believe him in anything he said.

Sharon   March 6th, 2008 1:27 pm ET

Good news! I just donated again this morning, and as with many of her supporters that post on her blog, it wasn't much, but apparently there are enough of us to really make those small contributions add up.

I think Hillary has many more supporters than others realize, and I encourage supporters of all candidates to focus on the positive, to build up their candidate, rather than to tear down other candidates.

Ruby marshall   March 6th, 2008 1:27 pm ET

Tom,des moines   March 6th, 2008 1:27 pm ET

Awesome! I just donate $100 and will do so in the coming day for Hillary Clinton and I hope everyone will do the same things. Vote Hillary 08!

Carole   March 6th, 2008 1:27 pm ET

Obama – Clinton ticket – NOT

Why on earth would Hillary be the VP – she would be showing HIM how to run the County. NO WAY.

wild schield   March 6th, 2008 1:26 pm ET

CHUMP CHANGE

Art H   March 6th, 2008 1:26 pm ET

Obama has been outspending Hillary 4-1 in several cases (including the Wisconsin primary) but Hillary thrashed him in Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island, in all of which areas he has out-spent her 2-1/4-1. Seems like you can't buy elections all the time, even though it might work in caucuses.

He has been swamping the airwaves with ads (including negative ones) and also flooding the area with negative fliers and in-spite of all that, Hillary still beat him in the big states.

What does that say about Obama ? Sure he has had a lot of contributions/contributors but he does not seem to have used that money wisely or the voters are not buying his arguments willy-nilly as they did in the past (smaller) contests.

clare   March 6th, 2008 1:25 pm ET

why should she disclose her taxes before April 15. Just because obama hides his true intentions regarding NAFTA, doesn't mean that Hillary is hiding anything on her taxes.

NSM, in case you don't know, "Yes We Can" is a slogan that Huertas came up with and she endorses Hillary, not obama. obama used that slogan in an oportunistic way when he presented at a Latino rally.

TU SI PUEDES HILLARY!!!!!!!

Marie,   March 6th, 2008 1:25 pm ET

Hillary where are your tax return? where are they?????? Hellooooo

LostFigs   March 6th, 2008 1:25 pm ET

Everyone keeps talking about how Ron Paul raised $6m in a day; so what? Who is Ron Paul anyway? Is he related to Rue Paul? I didn't see his name on the ballot. I thought he went out with Thompson or Kusinich.

LisaMpls   March 6th, 2008 1:25 pm ET

Newsflash: Obama did not originate "Yes We Can"

GO HILLARY GO........OBAMA IS A WANT "A BE"

VOTER FOR TRUTH, DIGNITY   March 6th, 2008 1:25 pm ET

Will she have to give the money back when she loses?
Did Hillary pay her vendors she left behind stuck with
the unpaid bill? She is a liar and, God knows, we do
not need another liar in the White House. The Clinton's
lied while they were "sleeping" in the White House.
And our voters want that again. Who would want to
listen to her and Bill's voice on the News. I quess
we would have to get new hobbies because T.V.
New would become obsolete!!!!!!!!!!!

NO TO HILLARY AND BILL'S LIES!!!

obama 2008

Drew   March 6th, 2008 1:25 pm ET

Tax returns are NOT DUE YET. DUH!!!
It's called April 15th. DUH!!!

All the Hillary bashers.......   March 6th, 2008 1:25 pm ET

No matter what your political comments are – how about the issues?

No matter what – Hillary is still a US Senator and is doing that job too – unlike Senator Obama!

But NO MATTER WHAT.........they are both deserving of respect!

It is the shallowness your comments that have me the most concerned for how you vote. Kool aide for sure – no substance!

atlanta ga   March 6th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

You know what nobody seems to be talking about ........if you take the states Obama has won including all of those small and deeply "red" Republican states where the Obama supporters faint and fall out , and so far Obama has won in places representing 193 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. Add up Clinton's victories thus far and she has won in states representing 263 electoral votes.
so you do the math who is closer to the electoral number @ being the president this fall

Reb

me3   March 6th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Hillary is a fighter and whoever wants her to quit now is just afraid to see that fighting spirit. I thought that this was what being American is all about, pursue your dreams and be persistent about it. Wouldn't you want that from your president? This can also go in Obama's favor – if he can show that he is also a fighter since he seems to have lost favor from the media at this point.

andrew jones   March 6th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

BILLARY, I GOT ONE QUESTION FOR YOU:

RELEASE YOUR TAX RETURNS?

Trev   March 6th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

Bill W:

Sorry that we "disgust" you. That is a great way to unify the party, by the way. I wish Obama supporters were not so hateful.

As for this delegate math crap, NEITHER candidate is goint to get to the magic number. So, the math favors neither candidate on the pledged delegate side. Where Hillary is making major inroads is on the popular vote side. She cut about 300,000 of Obama's lead. If she can catch him, it should be over. I don't think the supers are going to throw their weight behind a candidate who a majority of voters do not support.

I like Obama and am not against him. I am for Hillary! If you are undecided, I ask you do make the same decision. Thank you.

LisaMpls   March 6th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

Kathy from Michigan, you are posting your same off-topic comment here, too?

Go to factcheck.org to get independent information about the peter paul vs. clinton case. You will see that Peter Paul is a convicted felon and that the independent source has basically said hogwash to his claims that have been failing for seven years.

Ruby marshall   March 6th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

To Cat of MN and Brian,
How would the media report how much money did Obama raise when his Campaign manager will not disclose the exact amount??
And Brian, it was the American people who decided to keep the nomination process going, Sen. Clinton didn't lie and spin the election. Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island have very clear message: WE WANT HILLARY TO BE THE NOMINEE!!!

Sabrina   March 6th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

I just don't understand why Hillary is even considered a viable opponent let alone contender for the Democratic presidential nominee. I believe that she lies when it is convenient, she has changed her mind on multiple issues (she voted for the war, her husbands administration implemented NAFTA, her campaign slogan changes week to week), and as far as experience goes WHAT EXPERIENCE DOES SHE REALLY HAVE? The media, republicans, and Hillary keep pressing the fact that Barack has no experience – what experience does Hillary have being a First Lady does not qualify you to lead the country, we wouldn't have voted for Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, or Jackie Kennedy just because they were first ladies! I am sick of her, she doesn't answer warm to the press unless they agree to restrict certain questions but wonders why they are painting her to be the villain. Can't ask about her husband although he is actively campaiging for her, can't talk about his administration or presidency though she uses it every change she gets for the experience fact, can't talk about Chelsea and she is off trying to win superdelegates. Her latest tactic, the 3am ad, I am sorry as an American at 3 am in the morning I don't want that call going to Hillary, I just don't. I don't believe in her solutions, I don't trust her or her husband, and I believe they play dirty and unfair. Something about her makes me feel dirty, not inspired.

Todd   March 6th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

Yeah us Republicans are voting for Hillary. Nothing like seeing the democrats fail because they chose the wrong candidate.

LisaMpls   March 6th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

"She stilldisgusts me, as do any of the people who hand her money." – Bill W – PA

Bill W, you are disgusted by thousands upon thousands of people giving money to a candidate they believe is best for all Americans? That is silly.

WW for Obama   March 6th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

It really is a waste to give to the Clinton cause. There is no way she can win...just do the math! She is staying in just to stroke her own ego and it is costing our party a great deal.
Please Hillary get out now and take Bill with you. We need to start fighting McCain and stop wasting time with you.

Mary, Austin, Tx   March 6th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

More people are donating because during the Clinton years the U.S. had the best economic performance in history–high growth, low inflation, low unemployment, low interest rates, budget surplus. Bush has given us a recession, trillions in debt, stock market collapse, foreclosure records, and high gas prices. It is amazing how quickly we forget, so maybe Hillary can remind people that Democrats know how to turn the economy around...because they did it during the Bill Clinton administration!

dean   March 6th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

Obama was way behind a month ago as Hillary was the presumptive nominee. Obama is running faster and harder and will beat her in the end.
She is still saying she won Michigan and Florida.
Isn't that lying and cheating???

angela,roanoke va   March 6th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

go hillary go !!!! you got obama on the run lets keep it up , hillary can do a mans job anyday, all you men who are voting for obama because your afraid hillary cant beat mccain , shame on you step up and vote for the right person, hillary can and will beat mccain

JR   March 6th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

For those saying that Obama poured money into texas at a 2:1 ratio and still lost, keep this in mind. 2-3 weeks ago he was behind in the polls by 20 points so of course he had to spend more just to catch up. Plus, he may end up being the real winner in Texas. Did the spending work? Of course it did. He erased a 20 point deficit in 2 weeks and tied or beat Hillary. Look at it from that point of view.
Obama all the way!!!

Darth Vadik, CA   March 6th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

tomorrow Obama will raise 6, just watch, I'm going on his web site to give him money right now.

Obama for President   March 6th, 2008 1:12 pm ET

Yeah but Obama still leads in his fundraising and GUESS WHERE Hillary got her ideas ABOUT FUNDRASING???? You got it from Obama after seeing how much the people had raised for him, so whose the XEROX queen now???? YES PEOPLE Hillary's fundraising strategy come from the ideas man and the ACTION man himself, Mr. Obama!!!! So who really has shown creativity and ability to inspire and LEAD, Mr. Obama!!!!!!!

BTW, Hillary only won and not BIG as her husband and other strategists were claiming she needed to win, in Ohio... There's only a 3% difference between her and Mr. Obama in Texas. not what most of us would consider winning BIG.....

HE STILL LEADS!!!!!!

Ohio Dem   March 6th, 2008 1:11 pm ET

Why on Earth should Hillary be required to release her tax info before the deadline to file? She will release all info on April 15 get off her case. While we are at it have Obama release all his info pertaining to Revco. And I love how "the total is considerably higher" and yet Obama still didn't win Texas or Ohio. So much for that! Hillraisers keep giving!!!!!!!!!

GO HILLARY!!

john   March 6th, 2008 1:11 pm ET

she won Texas but lost the delegate race in Texas no doubt there will be great complaints from her campaign. And one of her supporters ran off with the papers got caught though at a police station I wonder if she will reject and denounce this sort of behavior.

observer...Florida   March 6th, 2008 1:11 pm ET

I have just read from another newsmedia that Republicans helped Hillary to win....They took Rush's advice.The article says that out of every 10 votes,there is 1 Republican vote for Hillary......That explains why Obama is leading in the caucuses.

If she were smart, she would have kept this to herself. Now Obama will have the fodder to double it.

John   March 6th, 2008 1:08 pm ET

Now, Obama will lie again, and say he raised twice as much, like he always does. Wonder why the truth is not in him?

LATEST POLLS :

Hillary up 15 in Pennsylvania (up from around 10 before Tuesday)

Hillary within 4 in North Carolina (was around 15 before Tuesday)

Hillary up 5 in Nationwide poll for Democratic nominee.

The writing on the wall is clear. Those of us in the Keystone State can't wait until April 22 to make it official. I hope BHO has a "dropping out of the race" motivational speech ready that night.

LifeLongDemocrat   March 6th, 2008 1:07 pm ET

Tim, racism and sexism have prevailed in this election. It's too bad that all the work we did in the 60's were to no avail. We should elect the better candidate for our parties nominee and that is clearly Hillary Clinton. The seixt white male needs to wake up and give her their vote. As Barry Goldwater's campaign said (to paraphrase), "in your heart you know she's right."

Corona Dan   March 6th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

Go Hillary? Why all the hate for Hillary? I wouldn't trust Obama as far as I can throw him...so he's a good speech maker...so was Hitler.

And as far as the black vote, they are voting for race, not qualifications – - – it's the old OJ voting block – - – they would vote for him no matter what he did or didn't do. Talk about using good judgement...HAH! Michelle O says she 'finally is proud to be an American' and gets NO criticism from the black community...so much for using good judgement...and let's not forget Obama's real estate deal...where's all the disclosure on THAT deal? Hypocrite!

Moira   March 6th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

JT   March 6th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

What's the going price of a Democratic delegate if you devide the total spent in a state by the number of delegates won? The money raised and spent is way out of hand. So, wake up cheerleaders, either will make history but neither will change your lives. You've got to do that for yourselves. As far as I can tell only one candidates admits that nothing will really happen unless the people stay involved. If you believe that you can just donote money and vote for someone and go back to sleep then you're mistaken.

RichardJ   March 6th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

To the Hillary and Obama haters:

You ALL disgust me. The trivialness of your arguments reminds me of recess in 5th grade. Perhaps a more fruitful discussion could be started about how us democrats are going to take on McCain in the fall? Because for all their blather, and foolish supporters hyperbole, the democratic candidates are very similar on the issues.

HillaryWins   March 6th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

If this were a presidential election, Hillary would be one state from winning the election. It is not the number of states. It is the quality of the states. Can Obama realistically win the election by losing all of the big blue states? Can Obama realistically win most of the small red states he took so far?

Add up all the states he has won in his historic drive to become the nominee, including all of those small and deeply "red" Republican states where the Obama supporters boast of their candidate's transcendental appeal, and so far Obama has won in places representing 193 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. Add up Clinton's victories thus far and she has triumphed in states representing 263 electoral votes.

Letitia Tay   March 6th, 2008 1:03 pm ET

About the delegates in Florida and Michigan

Florida: both Clinton's and Obama's names appeared on balot, they both did not campaign in these two states Only Obama had TV ad there . The voters chose Clintion from the candidates, so it is fair to any candidates . If the Party agree to accept their votes think it shoulld not and don't need to recount, It wiil save time and money

Michigan: because Obama took out his name from balot , may be under no choice , then voter only choose Clinton only, so ithey can consider to use caucas to determinte the delegates in Michigan

LT

Tom   March 6th, 2008 1:02 pm ET

I will continue to give to OBAMA. Look let's stop this spin and call it what it is. OBAMA was not expected to win OHIO or TX. He came back from being down 20pts in some of the polls. The net gain in delegates for Billary is 4. Even if he does not win another Primary he will have more delegates that her

BOBBY-HOUSTON   March 6th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

Let get real
Hillary needs to drop out for the good of the party
She can not over take Obama in number of state won
It will be very hard for her to over take Obama in pledged delgates
and the super delgetes will not over turn the will of the people of a free and fair vote
On top of all that she can't even keep her word when it come to Michigan and Florida she wants to change the rules and seat the delgates for her on gain
So she can't even be trusted and you know McCain will use that too

Bob, Lyons Oregon   March 6th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

CNN, thank you for correcting the Texas caucus headline. Obama leads clinton in texas caucus count. Obama supporters appreciate the correction. Yes we can, Go Barack.

Whit people a racist too, did they vote for Hillary in ohio and texas, why is it that you only use the word racist when black pipo go overwhelmingly for obama . racist america, haven't we had enough of white pipo running the country. when will we ever let a black person be president. Selfish white americans.

Mike   March 6th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

I believe Obama didn't get 35 millions on February, if they do they will counter attack Hillary news as they counter attacked the 3.a.m ad. I think what his campaign manger said more than 50 million, probably is the January and February fund rising money, so they only get roughly 15-20 millions in February. And they out spent Hillary 2-1. I am going to see his campaign will run out of money pretty soon. Obama think he will get nominee but instead he lost in Texas and Ohio. Lets see when they reports the money by the end of this month to SEC committee.

Hispanic Woman in Chicago   March 6th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Hey everyone listen to Kathy from Michigan!

Take a look at the fraud case of Paul v. Clinton. It will open your eyes and everyone will see what the Clintons have been hiding!

Why is the media not reporting on this? This is big! This case shows how far the Clintons will go to get back into the White House.

Solid support   March 6th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Majority of HIllary supporters are lifelong democrats, base of the democratic party and young democrats; they're ordinary folks eking out a living but opening their wallets for Hillary. Majority of her donors are first time contributors to any political campaign.

There's a big difference between Hillary and Obama supporters; Hillary supporters are rational thinking people, you can asks them any issues what Hillary stands for, they'll give you an answer. Obama supporters are the exact opposite of Hillary supporters, they're emotionally driven, lacks rational thinking and mean as hell. Obama cult followers, reminds me of David Koresh followers.

What made Hillary won in Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island, are the hardwork of her supporters that travelled thousands of miles to stump for her. Supporters of Hillary delivers whenever she ask for their help, they're very optimistic followers. Obama outspent Hillary 3 to 1 and still lose in three states especially Ohio; no democrat or republican President sit in office without winning Ohio primary.

I'm Mcain supporter; but the dynamic of Hillary supporters impresses me a lot; they're knowledgeable of issues their candidate stands for, I can't say the same thing about Obama supporters; the best they can do is point me to Obama's website, Obama also do the same thing.

Marilyn   March 6th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Someone asked, "where is the Clinton money coming from ?"

I am 65 and a very low Social Secutiy check, I GAVE, a small amount, under $50.00 but I gave.

Hillary raised far less than BHO, and still WON..

And BHO,asks 'where is Hillary's tax return?" I ask, where is his fundraising totat? WHAT IS BHO hiding, or I guess the questions should be, What ELSE is BHO hiding. ?

GO HILLARY

I will give more money next month.

Kasha   March 6th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

CNN – please post this. For as many as I have posted, I deserve to get at least a few actually appear and stay.

Let me first say, I am a supporter of Barack Obama. To those who comment that Hillary Clinton cannot win the nomination due to the delagate count, if you listen to the projected counts on CNN and other networks, neither can Barack Obama, unless one or the other wins in huge leads in more than one state. Florida and Michigan might change that, I am not sure, but since we do not know what will happen in those two states that is a moot point right now. It will more than likely come down to those darned super delegates for either candidate. I hope we can rid ourselves of that debacle by the next election.

I would love to know WHERE Hillary's money came from, both for February and the $6 million on the day after the primaries on Tuesday.

And please Hillary, release your tax returns. It is not like you or Bill are personally doing them. You have highly paid financial experts working on your tax returns and I am certain they could have had them done by now. They probabaly have done them but in your games of secrecy you refuse. This should be a big story for the news media to pick up, yet for the most part they are silent.

I challenge Hillary's campaign to release how many contributors have donated to her campaign. And then I challenge the news media to accurately report it.

And, I challenge CNN and the other news media outlets to report on the over 1 million people who donated to Barack Obama's campaign.

I am going now to send in my donation to Barack Obama's campaign, Change We CAN Believe In.

brian   March 6th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

Obama won Texas with ALL of the votes counted, including the caucuses. He received a 3-7 delegate margin of victory. It would be nice if the MSM would wait until the voting process is finished instead of rushing to push headlines. Oh wait...

Also, research the NAFTA story by the GlobeandMail in Canada. This could boomerang big time on Hillary.

Sorry Ohio voters, but you bought here NAFTA fake story hook, line and sinker.

Go and look at the delegates

Obama supporters will never let her become the President if she cheats and becomes the nominee because of superdelegates

Obama is young- he can still run next term..But as for me and my friends here in NYC (Dem state)- we will make sure we will do everything to make McCain our next President
Loss is always Hillary's

SENATOR CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT!!!

anne in wisconsin   March 6th, 2008 12:56 pm ET

Brian

The math says that Obama can't win either. Neither Clinton or Obama will have enough delegates to secure the nomination without some sort of compromise being struck by the Party. Some people will have to switch...Obama will likely have more delegates but he won't have enough to win. If Clinton has roughly the same number of delegates, and hers are from states that are likely to be more critical in the General Election, then she will have some power in making the final decision of who should be at the top of the Democratic ticket and what should be the platform priorities. She is not splitting the party anymore than he is–they are both trying to win because each think s/he's better for president. Geez. Be rational.

Jim in PA   March 6th, 2008 12:53 pm ET

Ron Paul raised 6 mill in one day. Hopefully our country of sheeple will wake up at some point and realize socialism is very close. You Obama and Clinton supporters should do some research on the Council on Foreign Relations which Obama, Clinton, and McCain are members of. I hope you Dem's get your global government elitists. Bye, bye Republic, hello Democracy.

Observer   March 6th, 2008 12:53 pm ET

Blah March 6th, 2008 11:48 am ET states that Clinton has until April 15th to release her income tax return and why can't Obama give his campaign figures for February yet? Blah's big mistake is that the tax returns in question are 2006 - they were due April 15, 2007. Most people realize that this year is 2008. Why is she hiding her returns that already exist? How hard is it to Xerox 2007's returns and present them for public scrutiny?

OBAMA!!!   March 6th, 2008 12:52 pm ET

Hillary counts her extrememly narrow win in Texas as a comeback. please. I wish she would sit down and shut up and let Obama take charge in uniting this party. Otherwise we are going to be stuck with another idiot as preseident and republican ideology.

mona   March 6th, 2008 12:51 pm ET

I have never donated money to anyone's campaign and I am a single mom with 2 teenage kids but I believe in Hillary. I give 10 dollars every month. She is not perfect and is a Washington politician, so I am not blind to the fact that she has her imperfections but who doesn't? Yet I believe the time has come for a woman to be our Commander in Chief. Women since the beginning of time have long been entrusted with bringing a new life into this world, Hillary will definitely rejuvenate and revive the downfalls America has encountered these last 8 years with GWB.

I BELIEVE IN HILLARY!!!!!!

catjax   March 6th, 2008 12:51 pm ET

This is what the Republicans really wants to see. Democrats
in chaos, out of control, and with no discipline. Meanwhile, they
can now go ahead, raise money and campaign for the national
election. We will end up losers again. Get the point? I might even
vote for John McCain after all.

Wants to see the money!   March 6th, 2008 12:51 pm ET

The reason that the tax returns are so important….. think Cheney and Halliburton people. You can go online to the FEC website (PUBLIC/FREE) and see that Clinton has taken money from drug companies during her senate years. Big companies, etc. It's not just how much money she makes, who cares, its the source!!!

It's about political favors, etc. Think people!

Cnn please post this; don't put me in moderation like all the other times.

robert krisanda   March 6th, 2008 12:50 pm ET

Brian   March 6th, 2008 12:48 pm ET

Paul vs Clinton – illegal campaign contributions and we've heard nothing about it. This plus the failure to release her taxes seems like a BIG story!!! Also, the Gov. of PA involved too....hmmm strange bedfellows and politics.

brandon   March 6th, 2008 12:47 pm ET

It is about math people. Hillary needs some real double digit wins to get the nomination from Obama. Her "win" in Texas was 3 point and that doesn't even figure in the caucuses. She needs to win by 20 points in states that she has poll leads in now and barely win in states that Obama has a lead in now. All of this just to TIE.

PS Missouri is a better state at saying so goes the nation than Ohio and Missouri went to Obama.

Texas4Obama   March 6th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

Tuesday evening when Hillary gave her speech she mis-spoke! Because you don't have to win Ohio to be president – John F. Kennedy DID NOT win the Ohio primary and he did become president – and so will Senator OBAMA!

Obama – our next President of the UNITED States of America!

Mr. Obama DID outspend Ms. Clinton and managed to cut into her 20 to 30% leads in both TX and OH significantly I would say that was money well spent (and I notice no one is mentioning the number of REPUBLICANS that voted for Ms. Clinton because the Limbaughs asked them too.. oh yeah you only complain about them when Mr. Obama wins their support not when they vote for Ms. Clinton to keep the selection process going)

dj   March 6th, 2008 12:42 pm ET

Hey Diaz.. Get your facts straight. Bill and Hill, or Hill and Bill. We are still going to beat Obammaaa. You all have a problem with Bill so you take it out on Hillary.

Bob, Lyons Oregon   March 6th, 2008 12:42 pm ET

Well, if she does not have anything to hide, then why not show her tax returns and whitehouse records, seems fishy to me, and the clintons are known for their fishyness, and dirty tactics. They will wait for more states to vote, so that it does not affect their campaign, because Im sure that once they release their records they won't get the votes they would want. 3M in a day, most are probably from PAC's and Lobbyest's. I don't trust the Clinton's, they are too secretive and not trustworthy. She will do anything to win, including resorting to Carl Rove tactics.

Teresa, Austin, Texas   March 6th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

Sounds to me like the only way Obama can win is by getting more money contributions. By the way, the people of Texas have voted and it is no way not even close to being an overwhelming vote for Obama. Wake up America!

Jeff Radun   March 6th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

I think that CNN, should keep hammering Obama on the following

1) The Nafta issue. It goes to Obamas credibilty when it come to change in the way politics will be run under his admistration.. If you are running on the change platform why would you say one thing and your advisers say something different. Then deny it and only admit it happened when you get caught.

2) Resko, and his involvment with this man. This goes to his judgement .

3) His church leader and church leaders involvment with Faracan. This goes to his judgement and his credibility. How can he be involved in a church for 20 year if his church leader praises Faracan

4) Afganistan. He keeps bring up a speech he gave against the Iraq war and in that speech he says that the USA should be going after Alqaida in Afganistan. Yet he is given an important commity on Afganistan and he does nothing with it.
Again credibilty. How can you give a speech against the war never having to take any responsibilty for actualy voting for or against it. Then When helping Kerry in his bid to become president say you do not know how you would have voted.

Hillary who are your big supporters. The lobbyist or the older people on Social Security that is barely getting by. If you are elected will you really look out for their warefare? Everyone be aware that when Hillary is losing she never say anything or smile now she is all teeth and plotting to get her way. Watch Out for the Witch of New York it is not Halloween but she is riding her broom in March.

TB, California   March 6th, 2008 12:39 pm ET

Hillary didn't win anything. Remember, Obama closed the double digit gap in Texas – big win for him and Ohio got condensed from 20% to 10. I believe Obama was the big winner simply because he was projected to be BLOWN away by Hillary in Texas and Ohio and he did the opposite he narrowed the gap. For all those delegates she got barely anything. Wait til the caucuses come in from TX – he's leading there. Hillary if you win this it's because you cheated your way in with lobbyists' money, and promises to return the 'favor'. At least Obama is honest and is not willing to mud sling the way you are. Very immature and not someone I would want to lead the country by acting childish! Shame on You!

Indie in Iowa   March 6th, 2008 12:39 pm ET

good job Hillary. For all of you who want the truth on Obama read The New York Sun's article "The Kenya Connection"

Clinton's Texas Myth   March 6th, 2008 12:39 pm ET

For those of you still claiming Texas, 8% of the vote Hillary received was from republicans???? This 8% makes up the 3% that she beat Obama by in the primaries...do the Math.

That means that approximately 100,000 votes came from people who HATE her and know that McCain will MOP THE FLOOR W/HER IN THE FALL.

Now who is deluting themselves. She CAN'T win and the fact that she is willing to break up the party so she feels better speaks volumes to her LACK of character.

I keep saying, she would make a good veep, but still has a lot to learn from the junior senator from Illinois.

LET'S SEE IF THIS GETS POSTED...

If the DNC does not include Michigan and Floida, they should be very aware that these voters will be insulted and those valuable votes will go to the Republicans in November. I am a Democrat and I vote to fire Howard Dean. We need a real spokesman. This election is our chance to take back the White House and fix this broken economy among many other issues. So far the Democratic Party has been consistant as in all previous elections by NOT WORKING TOGETHER. Don't they understand there is strength in a brick wall but just a pile of bricks is a MESS.

Ivelisse   March 6th, 2008 12:36 pm ET

Obama supporters are just plain BLIND: they write here about how she has not release her taxes and about he raising much more money and not being reported.....

well: I have to say this to you Obamabots:

She already gave a deadline to release the taxes, so sit still and wait....

Where is the report on HIS MONEY????? well, for that to be reported, HE HAS TO RELEASE IT..... so, we are right here, WAITING FOR HIM TO FULLY DISCLOSE HIS FINANCES AS WELL.....

YOU CAN'T ASK WHAT YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO GIVE.......

woogs   March 6th, 2008 12:36 pm ET

clinton has been using dirty tactics and attack ads. she had a 20% margin over obama in ohio just a few weeks ago and he made it a close race. in my eyes, that should be viewed as a victory for obama because he maintained his delegate lead-also, im not sure how anyone can trust hillary, especially with her fake accents and smile. her and her family are corrupt bureaucrats that are only looking out for their own egos and power-im not an obama supporter, but i would not be upset if he was president

I'm tired of news about Hillary. And she looks like she's on something all the time.

eliz   March 6th, 2008 12:34 pm ET

FROM WHO AND WHAT COUNTRY we should be asking....

intellegant voter   March 6th, 2008 12:34 pm ET

TO TIM...... NO RACISM.....HILLARY WAS WAY AHEAD AMONG BLACKS BEFORE THEIR CAIMPAIGN TRIED TO MAKE HIM OUT TO ONLY APPEAL TO BLACK VOTERS.....IT WAS A SMART MOVE BUT BACKFIRED............INCONTRAST IT UNITED THE VOTE TOWARDS OBAMA....AND DIDNT FOOL ANY OF THE OTHER RACES ....EXCEPT FOR A SELECT FEW LIKE YOURSELF........OBAMA WILL WIN THE NOMINATION BECAUSE THE SMARTER PEOPLE WILL PREVAIL IN THIS DECISION VERSUS THE LESS EDUCATED LIKE YOURSELF.....OBAMA 2008

Former Clinton Supporter   March 6th, 2008 12:34 pm ET

Hillary is a loser and all you who support her know McCain will rake her over the coals on a number of issues that the Clintons have been hiding, including their pending campaign fraud lawsuit.

An Agnostic Democrat   March 6th, 2008 12:34 pm ET

The only thing transparent about Hillary is how fake she is, how she'll do anything to win, and now as we find out, it was really her campaign that contacted the Canadian government and gave the wink-wink on NAFTA. Typical Clintonian hypocrisy. Can't wait for Her Thighness to get her pant suit cut to shreds over all the other secrets and lies she's been tellin'.

Clinton Gets a Refund   March 6th, 2008 12:33 pm ET

Funny, now she gets to give herself a refund after the $5million loan.

Curliss   March 6th, 2008 12:33 pm ET

Agree! Hillary is the best alternative to Obama. I am very disappointed in the black population. After all what Bill and Hillary has done for them. They turn around and show their true color. They support black and will only vote black. If that not being racist..then tell me what it is? And because of this racism, I will definitely vote Hillary or McCain. I am sure many others will as well, just to keep him from either being the nominee or president. Sorry, you Obamains!

Len   March 6th, 2008 12:33 pm ET

RON,NJ thank goodness you have a brain that works.

Sue T.   March 6th, 2008 12:32 pm ET

Good for her, even better for Mark Penn. Now he can charge Senator Cliton even more. For those of you who skip medicine in order to donate to Senator Cliton's campaign, at least you can ask her staff not to stay at the Four Seasons. If Cliton loses, it's because she just does not have the judgement to hire the right people to work her. She deserves a much better support from her staff.

Peter-FL   March 6th, 2008 12:32 pm ET

I cannot understand how anyone can vote for Hilary. I respect her, her courage and ambition, yet people seem to forget all the scandals that have followed the Clintons since the days in Arkansas till the days in the Whitehouse. We need change. Even till this day there are so many questions...why is she not disclosing her tax records? People tend to forget that while she was a member of the Board at Wal-Mart...the Board refused to allow Unions. Yet Ohio, which is 99% Union, voted for her? Wake America, we need to read the facts. Obama represents change. He may not have the years of experience like Hilary, but we all need to realize that she has demonstrated in those years of experience what she cannot do, is keep her word and be trustworthy.

Border Latino   March 6th, 2008 12:32 pm ET

Charlotte,
Don't be mad because your old peach is not wanted. More people believe in Obama, that is why he makes so much money.

kb from Iowa   March 6th, 2008 12:32 pm ET

Good for her. She might want to use it to chip in for the Florida and Michigan illegal re-do's because that is the only way she can win this thing. The numbers don't lie...she has to win all the remaining contests by blow out wins, to get close to him. That 11 win streak of his racked up an insurmountable tally of delegates. The only way she can win now is by hook or by crook...so, of course no one is counting her out.

Billary Huckabee   March 6th, 2008 12:31 pm ET

Two more Billary Huckabee loses come Saturday (Wyoming) and Tuesday (Mississippi). Two states where the "Hispanic" and "RepubliCONs" vote can not put you over the top!!!

When is a so-called "turning the corner" campaign still getting beat down like a dead horse? When you have 20 point leads that get lose in 2 weeks and you net on 8 delegates from it!!!

By next Wednesday, 2 more loses and Obama will get the 8 delegates back and then some...Media Provided Momentum is not REALITY!!! You can't win BILLARY!!! Let's split Florida and Michigan's delegates 50/50 and call it a nomination!!!

Obama 08!!!

Karen   March 6th, 2008 12:31 pm ET

Hillary can scratch and crawl and screw people out of money, but she has no way of getting the DELEGATES she needs to win the nomination.

Mac in Tampa   March 6th, 2008 12:31 pm ET

Just sent ya some more funds today Hillary – keep fighting for us little guys!!!

GO HILLARY!!

(I really have to wonder – just who bought and paid for Obama??)

Cat, MN   March 6th, 2008 12:31 pm ET

Hey, Matt, I saw everyone chanting "yes we can" at Hillary's speech in Ohio the other night! I couldn't stop laughing! Not only does she try to copy and be like Obama......but now her supporters are copying Obama supporters and Obama slogans! Too funny!

Len   March 6th, 2008 12:30 pm ET

TIM, don't forget to bring the other half of your brain the next time you post your STUPID comments.

ABC=Anybody But Clinton   March 6th, 2008 12:30 pm ET

Ahh...Hillary did you loan yourself some money again? LOL

Steve   March 6th, 2008 12:29 pm ET

...ummm that's great...now about those tax returns...

Another dem in California   March 6th, 2008 12:28 pm ET

Barack's pair of deuces are showing from the sweat on his brow. His beginner's luck is running out. Count the Florida and Michigan votes! And let's send Barack home to be an Ill-i-noisy again. If he loses, will his wife stop being a "Proud American"?

Stacy Clarks, Texas   March 6th, 2008 12:28 pm ET

Let's see what the number is for Obama

Im going to donate to his campaign right now!!!

STOP THE HATE, VOTE OBAMA 08!!!!!!

Andrew   March 6th, 2008 12:27 pm ET

I wonder how much of the $3 million she donated herself? I guess we would know if she would release her tax returns...

Jan in MI   March 6th, 2008 12:27 pm ET

Wel, for one thing. Hillary has until April 15 to file her tax returns, just like all Americans.

Obama, will you tell us how much you raised in Feb, and included Oprah's and Rezko's donations please.

Also, If Obama wins the nomination, I don't believe he will ever win in Michigan, and Mi is a very important state to win the election. As is OHIO.

So, all you Obama supporters who are so vindictive to Clinton, you better think again.....because we just might have a McCain/Bush 3rd term.

Marko, Chicago IL   March 6th, 2008 12:27 pm ET

Great. With all that money maybe she can get rid of those yellow dentures.

David   March 6th, 2008 12:26 pm ET

had to laugh at posters on the earlier entry that try to minimize Hillary not releasing her tax documents. it's because they know their gal is hiding something. don't we all. the Clinton's are up to their eyeballs in it. no more Bush/Clinton rule!!!!!

lou   March 6th, 2008 12:26 pm ET

Obama supporters just couldn't believe that Hillary has a strong coalition behind her, so strong that no matter how much money Obama outspent, he lost.

someone smiling in Texas   March 6th, 2008 12:26 pm ET

Obama can raise all the money in the world like he did and Hillary still won Ohio and Texas...and if it happened once it will happen again.....face it Obama people the momentum is gone....the people have decided and I can see it now, both candidates will be short of the 2025 delegates needed, but Hillary will beat him with the superdelegates.

Go Hillary Go!!!!!

KC, Texas   March 6th, 2008 12:26 pm ET

Hillary used less money to win big. Good job!

After 11 losses, she still can come back win 3 out of 4. She is so strong. She is a fighter and that's what we need for president!

Hillary, yes we will! All the way to the White House!

vl   March 6th, 2008 12:25 pm ET

Yes We Will, Yes We Will......Raul Diaz, this is what Hillary supporters chant. It means, WE WILL make a difference, not a "hope we can".

Mike from Maine   March 6th, 2008 12:25 pm ET

Google NAFTAGATE and read the newest stories and all of the people who donated to Hillary might be requesting a refund.

Sick of Obama.   March 6th, 2008 12:25 pm ET

We should do away with caucuses. It generates anything but problem. Obama wins caucuses by cheating. I'm so sick of him. Please somebody take him away already. I can't stand both ugly Obama and that b!tch Michele.

Ingrid   March 6th, 2008 12:24 pm ET

I need to see the books for this one. She can't show us her tax returns but says she raised 3 million dollars in a day.

The American public must look like we have stupid printed on our foreheads. Try another lie Hillary. This one won't work.

Lance   March 6th, 2008 12:24 pm ET

Okay Cattle,
Continue to follow the deception Blindly.
CNN when will you begin to report the scandals that follow those liars called the Clintons.

SLICK WILLY
SLICK HILLY

Release the Tax returns and other things youve hidden.

Dan PA   March 6th, 2008 12:24 pm ET

Plain and simple Obama is just not qualified to be President. If he is the nominee I will vote for a Republican for the first time in my life.

intellegant voter   March 6th, 2008 12:23 pm ET

3 mil after a few wins is not alot.........thats average 30mil.......she doesnt have a chance to catch him.....only way is to cheat..........and count florida/ichican which wont happen.......good for media hype though.......superdelegates wont overturn will of the people.....that would go down as one of the most disgusting thing in history......clinton supports....coming away with a net 10 delegate count on states she had huge advantages in was awful......BARACK OBAMA.....DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE

sean   March 6th, 2008 12:23 pm ET

Clinton needs to start explaining herself better. Why NO W2's yet????? And we need to start questioning her more on David Rosen (the campaign manager she had that was indicted for FRAUD)!!!!

SO FAR SHE IS PROVING TO BE A STATUS QUO POLITICIAN!

VOTE OBAMA 08! Bring Hillary into the Whitehouse as a janitor

Fired Up!   March 6th, 2008 12:22 pm ET

It's the Math Stupid! Money won't save a sinking Ship!

EFM   March 6th, 2008 12:22 pm ET

Wow–CNN reporting something positive about Clinton's campaign. It's amazing.

CHICANO ART, ARIZONA   March 6th, 2008 12:22 pm ET

On a further Note, we must realize that Obama is going to have a hard coordinating his campaign in the coming weeks. He will have to put a tight lid on any attacks on Clinton coming from low level staffers and senior economic advisors. His campaigns amorphous structure will buckle under the tight scrutiny and pressure. Obama can be a blank slate and relatively stable but the same cannot be said for some of the erratic things he lets aids say. EX: Obama said alleging plagerism was "silly". Later that night his camp released a statement accusing Clinton of plagerism. They think the American people can't recognize a good cop bad cop routine.

AnyoneButHillary   March 6th, 2008 12:22 pm ET

God. I just HATE to see her face. One of the creepiest fear mongering, power mongering, manipulative witch. Sorry to say this, but I MEAN IT.

Oh yeah Clinton News Network. I know this wouldn't be posted, but guess what, I DON'T CARE ANYMORE NOR DO I EXPECT YOU TO APPROVE IT.

Interesting   March 6th, 2008 12:21 pm ET

Think of all the donuts we can buy!

Hillary would bankrupt the nation, then try to write us all a check.

Are you guys serious with this copycat slogan? What was that "change you can xerox" comment again?

Idiots, all of you.

Dave   March 6th, 2008 12:19 pm ET

well, is it all legit $? doubt it.

Jane   March 6th, 2008 12:19 pm ET

thank-you

Dr. Ron Paul raised $6 million in one day…

And he never got more than single-digit percentages of the vote. The people behind Ron Paul are very loyal – unfortunately for Ron Paul, there aren't many of them...

Barb Canada   March 6th, 2008 12:18 pm ET

I also noticed that many of the pictures of the 2 candidates lately has Obama posing normally, and Hillary shown as comically as possible! I'm pretty sure CNN can afford a professional photographer can't they??

simple thought ?   March 6th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

she who laughs last, may have the last laugh.

Peter   March 6th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

To RP.... have you seen the article.... Obama, not Clinton, Faces Tough Math? Obama can't, absolutely win. There is no way he will ever get to 2024.

When Clinton releases the tax returns, do you think Obama will hold a press conference and answer questions about Ayers, Auchi and the other arabs that have donated to his campaigns? How about the FARC letter? Do you think he'll answere to that one?

HILL ALL THE WAY   March 6th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

HILLARY ,,I M USING MY WOMAN POWER
I M MAKING MY HUBBY,,FATHER..BROTHER,,FRIENDS VOTE FOR YOU AND DONATE TO YOU ,,,,,,GOOD LUCK

Voiceless People   March 6th, 2008 12:16 pm ET

Yeah this bores me ! This was more fun when everyone is beating on HC on this blog. Now that CNN is trying to knock BO down, less people are participating in the blog. Please CNN can we go back to the good old days when 90% of your posting was negative on HC - you fun killers. BO negative is not exciting enough!!

Daisy   March 6th, 2008 12:15 pm ET

haha! This is so funny!

Did you guys hear in an interview of OBAMA recently, he said he already won several big states like Michiga...........! -----Such a idiot! He even does not know how to lie!

Andres   March 6th, 2008 12:14 pm ET

Yes She Will.... WOW Brilliant.... I wonder where she came up with that one.....

Realse the tax returns Hilary! Show us, the people, who really has funded your campaign!

Barb Canada   March 6th, 2008 12:14 pm ET

Why wouldn't the Obama campaign release the February figures? Why raise more questions for folks rather than answers?

Amy, Kazoo   March 6th, 2008 12:14 pm ET

Raul Diaz- what a lie. I myself have donated money to her campaign as have many other hard working regular American people. Maybe you should stop for a second, listen to some of that CHANGE rhetoric Obama talks about, and actually think before you post.

jt   March 6th, 2008 12:14 pm ET

Hillary will win!!

She is a smarter choice!!

She is a better choice!!

More polished on all issues!

She knows Washington!!

Kevin   March 6th, 2008 12:13 pm ET

Go Obama and Hillary! Let's elect them and give away all of our freedoms as we turn this country into a socialized nation and let the government run everything!!!

Hillary friends in MA   March 6th, 2008 12:13 pm ET

We knew she could do it! She's a fighter, and we know she's fighting for us! March 4th was so exicting, of course she's raising money! My whole family bought new Hillary Pins! Everyone i know is giving everything they can afford! Millions of Americans believe in her, and her ability to achieve what she promises!

Madam President, we are proud of YOU!

CLINTON '08!!!!!

AJ, IL   March 6th, 2008 12:13 pm ET

Go ahead GOOD JOB HILLARY, CHRIS, and DC! At this stage of the race, Please contribute more. Once Hillary loses the nomination, this money can be used by the DNC to campaign for Obama and other Democrats running for offices nationally. The more you contribute the more you help the Democratic Party, especially Obama.

Lou   March 6th, 2008 12:13 pm ET

Hang on Hillary... we are coming to the rescue!!!

You are it!!!

Steve   March 6th, 2008 12:12 pm ET

That's nothing compared to what Obama raises with just donations. Lets not forget that she takes from lobbyists too.

Also, lets post more ridiculous photos of Hillary on CNN; seriously does she always look that insane?

Sydney A. Smith, Dallas Texas   March 6th, 2008 12:12 pm ET

Her supporters are fiercely loyal and I am proud to be one of them. We will continue to support her with our time, our talents and our money because she IS the best candidate.

MICHIGAN VOTE CLINTON 08

George T   March 6th, 2008 12:09 pm ET

yep, I donated yesterday to her campaign.

Hillary can do this!

Mark   March 6th, 2008 12:09 pm ET

So good to have full disclosure from Hillary! Now, about those tax returns and White House papers.... Who has funded the Presidential Library and where did the Clinton's source of enormous wealth, now estimated at $40 – 75 million come from? Yes, sorry, the American people do have a right to know about this situation. We would be foolish to believe that Bill's influence on decisions, based on prior clients and donors, would not color or cloud Hillary's judgment.... based on experience of what we recall from their 8 years in office.

Houston Texas   March 6th, 2008 12:09 pm ET

If current trends hold, it will seem that Obama WON Texas after all.

Without the caucus results, he is 135 pledged delegate ahead of Hillary.

The only way Obama can't win the nomination is if its stolen from him.

Trev   March 6th, 2008 12:09 pm ET

I see she is still raising large amounts of money, but the story fails to mention the fact that in the same time period there are reports that Obama raised $4 million. Once again she is still trailing in all categories (money, popular vote, and delegates). I guess some people don't know how to take a hint. It might be time to move on Sen. Clinton.

States the Obvious   March 6th, 2008 12:09 pm ET

I don't think it looks like she is yodeling but maybe something else. Ask her husband.

vixtor   March 6th, 2008 12:08 pm ET

two weeks ago i gave my first ever political contribution with a small amount for Hillary...after her new momentum i will keep on supporting her as much as i can...she needs to win for the good of all of us...

Hillary 08

Ron, NJ   March 6th, 2008 12:08 pm ET

Lets set the record straight. Clinton's "comeback" was a net gain of about 4 delegates. Which means things have fundamentally not changed at all!

We next have Wyoming and Mississippi where Clinton will lose and then she'll be worse off than before Ohio's election.

So by next Tuesday she'll be losing by a bigger margin than before Ohio! Well, if that's a comeback...i hope she has more of them!

Brian   March 6th, 2008 12:08 pm ET

Was it special interest money? Money from oversees? How much will go to payback the interest on the $5 million dollar loan? Yes she's charging her donors interest on that loan. 35 years of "experience" sure pays!!! How come they can tell us they raised 3 million in one day, but can make a few copies of her tax returns?

Val in PA   March 6th, 2008 12:08 pm ET

Good, she should use it to fund the "new" primaries or caucuses in Florida and Michigan. One with a potential VP for McCain and the other with a Hillary supporter. I would like to hear one citizen of either of these states say, "I want my delegates counted". Sure this is for the people of these states, give me a break. Hillary needs to get control of her campaign team, and then look to clean up other back yards.

tim   March 6th, 2008 12:08 pm ET

go Hillary, you can do it

Don't anyone in here see the raciest on this campaign. Obama is black and he got 90% of black voters.

tim

Jason   March 6th, 2008 12:08 pm ET

the question is....

Does or Has Hillary paid herself back for the $5 million she loaned her campaign in full now, or is she continuing to collect interest from the loan amount thereby making a little extra personal money?

I would be interested in knowing if I were to donate money to her campaign if it would be helping go towards her needs to win the nomination or just lining her pockets.

DC   March 6th, 2008 12:07 pm ET

Go Hillary!!

YES WE WILL!!!

Kathy from Michigan   March 6th, 2008 12:07 pm ET

Sen Clinton is on her way to Michigan to try to strong arm the delegates to the convention. The media should ask questions about a pending Fraud case in the Los Angeles Superior Court (Paul v. Clinton) which is being appealed. This could be the largest Campaign Finance violation in the history of Campaign Fianance. I WIILL BE SURPRISED IF THIS GETS POSTED. The Clintons have stiffled the media away from this case because it is so far reaching. This is what they are hiding!!!

Chris, Orlando   March 6th, 2008 12:07 pm ET

YES SHE WILL!

Senator Obama outspent Senator Clinton 2-to-1 in Tuesday states. Goes to show you: Obama will not be allowed to speak OR spend his way to the White House.

This HillRaiser is going online to give again!

GOOD JOB HILLARY   March 6th, 2008 12:07 pm ET

GOOD JOB HILLARY LOL....I'm proud of you if you keep it up you can maybe come to half of Obama's donation figures. Why are these people donating to a lost cause? It's over. She didnt even scratch the surface to Obama's delegate lead. You Hillary supporters are just to funny!

Jed in Texas   March 6th, 2008 12:07 pm ET

Hillary is so happy, it looks like shes yodeling.Theres nothing like cash in the coffers to make a heart sing.

Sandy   March 6th, 2008 12:05 pm ET

When is Mr Obama going to answer the questions about his Rezko connections, and the media going to report on the Rezko trail? Is Mr Obama being subpoenaed? This is important to the American tax payer and voter. We want the truth, before it's to late.

Bill W - PA   March 6th, 2008 12:05 pm ET

Probably donated it to herself.

Houston Texas   March 6th, 2008 12:05 pm ET

Wonder where that money came from. Looks like special interests are doubling down their bets.

Andrew   March 6th, 2008 12:05 pm ET

HILL YEAH!!!!!!!!
and i'll be adding 50$ today to help my girl out

p.s Obama better settle for V.P REAL quick!!!

Jean   March 6th, 2008 12:04 pm ET

Way to go Hillary!!! I am very proud for you. Jeep up the good work. Hillary 08

getagrip, anywhere, usa   March 6th, 2008 12:04 pm ET

Why doesn't someone question her as to where all this money is coming from? She had nothing a month ago, and now has millions. Even several millions from herself!!!!! That is a great way to connect with the "average working person" who can just pull out $5 million to correct their financial situations. Nothing like looking out for yourself – way to go Hillary!

joan   March 6th, 2008 12:04 pm ET

big deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John   March 6th, 2008 12:04 pm ET

It time for Obama to quite gracefully, he lost the momentum now.

Bayou Joe   March 6th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

Good luck Hillary. Keep it going. U can do it. U can do it. U can do it.
U Rock Girl.

Valerie   March 6th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

This is great news! I am going to make a contribution online so she can keep up in the spending war with Obama in order to take Pennsylvania.

BTW Obama:
Why not release your February contribution totals?

What are you trying to hide? lmao

Jason   March 6th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

Yeah President Hillary Clinton.

She is raising cash and today Obama's own foreign policy adviser is raising questions about Obama by saying Obama "is not ready" for a 3:00 a.m. call.

Jack   March 6th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

I was one of those who contributed

Jessica, MI   March 6th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

I think the media should've held off on declaring her "victory" in Texas. Texas has a hybrid system, and until the caucus results fully come in (which have Obama up 12%), it's irresponsible to suggest that she gained any great momentum.

RI and VT – a wash.
OH – Hillary wins by 10%
TX – Obama will likely win overall hybrid by small %

So basically, she won Ohio. Whoop.

norb   March 6th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

"What we raised was considerably higher". Na, Na, Na, Na, Na. We raised more millions then you did! How sad isn't it? Is this all that it's about? People are living paycheck to paycheck. The banks keep riping them off. The oil compainies keep riping people off at the pump. Everything you buy seems to come from China. Enough of the stupid spending already. Give that money to the poor, or someplace that it can do some good rather than to pay for a television spot or jet fuel to haul your butt over the US. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeze enough already.

Matt   March 6th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

Go Hillary!! YES WE WILL

vl   March 6th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

I guess the "little people" are speaking. You know, us poor, uneducated, "lunch bucket" folks. I think it's funny Obama "won't release" his figures.

Jacqueline Samms   March 6th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

Where is this money suddenly coming from?????

LeRoy   March 6th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

It was learned today that theres something not being told about Obamo and that crook in chicago on trial...I'm wondering could it be that Tony told him he would do everything he could to get him elected and if he is convicted Obamo will pardon him...somethings fishy about the 2 thats not been told...I'm sure it will come out.

anon   March 6th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

if raising money is as important as the press makes it out and is bragged about so excessively by candidates' supporter, why don't we just let the highest fund raiser be President?

H   March 6th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

WHAT IS OBAMA HIDING? THEY HAD NO TROUBLE SAYING THEY HAD RAISED OVER 50 MILLION FOR FEBRUARY. DO THEY NEED TO FIX THE BOOKS NOW.

GO HILLARY – WE ARE ALL SO PROUD OF YOU.

Joseph Mayer   March 6th, 2008 12:00 pm ET

Senator Clinton's success at fundraising makes it all the more imperative that she and her husband release their tax returns. For the sake of her party and her own good name, she owes it to the American people to come clean about the sources of her and her husband's considerable wealth.

Go Hillary !! 2008

john   March 6th, 2008 12:00 pm ET

It appears that any critical post about Hillary is not being posted.

case   March 6th, 2008 12:00 pm ET

The only reason she won Texas was because Republicans supported her.

How sad!

For the record....   March 6th, 2008 11:59 am ET

Hey – where are those money records from February for Senator Obama....considerably more than Clinton? Show me the numbers....I bet they are close to each other!

Amy in Iowa   March 6th, 2008 11:59 am ET

Someone needs to tell the Clinton campaign to stop wasting campaign donations on confetti so she won't need to lend her campaign money again.

Mike Simons   March 6th, 2008 11:59 am ET

Is Hillary, as she claims, completely vetted? Not, anymore, without release of those tax returns.

Allen   March 6th, 2008 11:59 am ET

That should help buying your way into the whitehouse crook...

case   March 6th, 2008 11:59 am ET

I am an independent; there is no way I would vote for Hillary Clinton. Her lack of foresight now is proof that she is not best qualified for President.

She should know how divisive she is. She should know that she will not win independent or disenfranchised Republican votes, both necessary in November. She should know that she will single handily give McCain the Presidency.

Her lack of foresight reminds me of Nader in 2000.

I hope I will not vote for McCain but that is how I see it going down.

Independent for Obama

John, N.H   March 6th, 2008 11:58 am ET

God bless Hillary

Yaw   March 6th, 2008 11:58 am ET

has anyone noticed that before CNN can point out factual positives about Hillary Clintons campaign they have to start with something negative then add the positive. or is it just me?
CONGRATS ON THE MONEY BUT DON'T FORGET oBAMA HAS REZCO AND OPRAH SO USE THE CASH WISELY!!!

Judy Frost   March 6th, 2008 11:58 am ET

The "greatest generation" is digging deep to save it's country once again.

Pepou   March 6th, 2008 11:57 am ET

so maybe now she will release her tax record ... or the list of big donors (from Arab countries) to Bill's library ...

seektruth   March 6th, 2008 11:57 am ET

she is losing Texas in delegate count! she win and lose. why cnn is so unfair to the whole fact.

HP Boston   March 6th, 2008 11:57 am ET

Thank you CNN for this report, can not find a good thing to say about MSNBC, they have yet to mention it! I gave to the # milion fund, I always do!

caywen   March 6th, 2008 11:57 am ET

FYI, Obama is on his way to officially winning Texas given his probable overall delegate lead there when the caucuses are figured in.

Remember that the nomination process is not just about popular vote, but also a measure of organizational ability, which is how it was designed.

So, really, he won Texas.

Terry   March 6th, 2008 11:57 am ET

Where are the Clinton's current and previous tax returns? The Obama campaign has been spending more because they have been extremely successful in getting smaller donations. The Clinton campaign just started using this technique after they fired their Latina campaign manager and Hillary lent her campaign $5 million dollars.

Grif   March 6th, 2008 11:56 am ET

Well, you asked for it Girl, and you made it...

Now use it to it's full advantage.... Think. Think. Think..

Dollars are scarce.. You have to win. The next two with a better margin than Texas..

Jorge   March 6th, 2008 11:56 am ET

Now that she is seen as viable again, Hillary will start pulling in more donations. Go, Madam President!

Steve   March 6th, 2008 11:55 am ET

Why is this news? Ron Paul raised over $6 million in one day. Obviously the media is just trying to ramp this up to keep Hillary in the spotlight so she'll beat Obama.

Michael   March 6th, 2008 11:55 am ET

We are just getting warmed up.

Mike   March 6th, 2008 11:55 am ET

Hillary, you are well on your way to the White House.

Keep fundraising, keep campaigning, keep talking...

Senator Clinton, you have got what it takes to be Commander In Chief!

Hillary 08!!

Daisy   March 6th, 2008 11:54 am ET

Good Job! Hillary.......

She is the best. We believe she can.

Matt   March 6th, 2008 11:54 am ET

$3.0 million is pretty darn good. It's only 52% less than Ron Paul record fundraising day of $6.2 million. Nice work!

sbrown   March 6th, 2008 11:53 am ET

Do not post this comment:

Why do you(cnn) always put horrible photos of clinton on your website?

beckett70   March 6th, 2008 11:53 am ET

Go Hillary, here we go -the Come Back Kid–She's back . Now we will see some real fireworks. I've seen news clips of Hilary in the earlier days..she has only begun to fight. She hasn't even brought out the big Guns yet. She's been holding back for some reason. Being Polite??!!

Adam Orlando Florida   March 6th, 2008 11:53 am ET

Great Job Hillary! I Contributed!!!

Politra   March 6th, 2008 11:53 am ET

Hillary is very BAD in math:
She offered joint ticket ! Its a joke of the year !
For this everyone should hate her. For her self-contradiction, for her egoism and for her sense of (dis)proportion !

She is a very BAD American:
She views, Ohio=rest of USA

Frank   March 6th, 2008 11:52 am ET

She is going to use it to make a big farewell party. Adios doña.

the108   March 6th, 2008 11:52 am ET

Ooooh... this reminds me. I need to go donate more to Obama.

Michelle in Philly   March 6th, 2008 11:52 am ET

Way to go Hill supporters, keep up the good work, we are with you Hillary every step of the way all the way to the White House.

Love ya

Josh   March 6th, 2008 11:52 am ET

Use some of that $3 million to release your top secret tax returns to the voting public – NOW. A Transparent Clinton presidency is the very definition of an oxymoron.

Alan   March 6th, 2008 11:52 am ET

Hey, CNN – the photo you chose to illustrate this story isn't a form of editorializing.... is it?

Robert NYC & Miami   March 6th, 2008 11:52 am ET

I did my part.

Go Hillary!

wam   March 6th, 2008 11:52 am ET

Under the political ticker headline "Clinton leads Obama in Texas caucuses count" Isn't that supposed to be "Obama leads Clinton in Texas caucuses count". Is this an oversight?

Bill W - PA   March 6th, 2008 11:51 am ET

She stilldisgusts me, as do any of the people who hand her money.

Mike, Arkansas   March 6th, 2008 11:51 am ET

Obama is currently raising alot of money as well.. CNN just hasnt reported that yet... Gosh I hate seeing her face!

Brian   March 6th, 2008 11:51 am ET

Why isn't the media reporting on the fact that given the math and Obama's huge delegate lead, Clinton can't win?! She didn't win by big enough margin in Ohio, and Obama may yet win more delegates in Texas! The money doesn't matter, the momentum being fabricated by her and the media doesn't matter!

She can't win, people! Keeping this race going is a huge, vindictive power play by her and her husband!

Keep supporting Obama through this... her nasty campaign will be over at some point, whether she drags it all the way to the convention or not.

Keep voting for REAL HOPE AND CHANGE, EVERYBODY! Not her lies and spin.

OBAMA '08!!!

paforhillary   March 6th, 2008 11:51 am ET

way to go hillary. i am sending my donation right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!kick obama's but!!!

Jose Card - Independent   March 6th, 2008 11:51 am ET

Ron Paul raised more than 6 millions in 24 hours online on December 16, 2007. He wasn't even close to being the nominee.

Hillary claimed she is on the top of the dream ticket.
However, the 3 million number doesn't support the usually expected outpouring support after a big win, unless yesterday's win wasn't really that big and it wasn't.

RP   March 6th, 2008 11:51 am ET

Hey, has anyone seen the article about Sen. Clinton and "NAFTAgate" on the Real Clear Politics website? I hope reporters check it out.

Polly   March 6th, 2008 11:50 am ET

OH Clinton blah blah blah..........release your tax returns...........

Raul Diaz   March 6th, 2008 11:50 am ET

It is ALL coming from her and Big Willy- that is why they won't show their tax returns. America WAKE UP...Billary will LIE CHEAT MANIPULATE play GUTTER just to gain power...Her campaign says "Yes SHE can"...Obama's says "Yes WE can..." BIG DIFFERENCE...

andy   March 6th, 2008 11:50 am ET

Hillary was out spent 2 to 1 in Texas and Ohio and we all know how that went for Obama, they both have plenty of money to compete and now Hillary just bought herself a whole lot of time to convince democrats that she is definetly the best candidate for president. And isn't that what it is really all about.

Mary   March 6th, 2008 11:50 am ET

Can you get your headline straight???

OBAMA is leading the caucuses, NOT Clinton. Thanks.

taruna   March 6th, 2008 11:50 am ET

As Always Very Delusional !

Ian   March 6th, 2008 11:49 am ET

Psh. Ron Paul doubled that figure months ago. I wonder if she donated to her own campaign again.

Cat, MN   March 6th, 2008 11:49 am ET

Why hasn't anybody reported that Obama's campaign has had over 1 million people donate to his campaign? HE, not Hillary, has broken all the records, yet you still only report on Hillary's money. I guess all of Hillary's complaining about the media got to you guys, huh?

FORUSA   March 6th, 2008 11:49 am ET

American people finally woke up.

Hilary as the nominee, there is only one reason -– For American.

Obama as the nominee, there are too much reasons.

Cnn, you supports Obama for what? -- Just because u donot like her.
But not because he is better than her as a president.

You did it just for yourself, but not considering the country.

Charlotte   March 6th, 2008 11:48 am ET

Obama supporters are smarter and wealther then Hillary supporters, therefore they should donate twice as much. He spent way more the she did and still lost. I think $35 million from the lunch bucket crowd is pretty darn good!!!!!!!

Blah   March 6th, 2008 11:48 am ET

And Obama's giving Clinton a hard time for not releasing information. His advisors know his campaign fundraising total, but won't release it to the media. At least Clinton has until April 15th to release her tax returns. We're 6 days into March now. Where's February's campaign money, Barack?

RPF   March 6th, 2008 11:48 am ET

Dr. Ron Paul raised $6 million in one day...

Republicus   March 6th, 2008 11:46 am ET

Before writing another entry, perhaps you should correct your previous headline "Clinton leads Obama in Texas Caucuses" count? The bloggers are already slamming CNN.

Will from Cleveland   March 6th, 2008 11:46 am ET

Trust Clinton News Network (CNN) for the spin!

Will from Cleveland   March 6th, 2008 11:45 am ET

She loaned herself 2 million again.....

Check your Clinton leads Obama in teaxs causes title..

It is Obama leading Clinton..Wake up …It is Morning already

Decline to State - San Francisco   March 6th, 2008 11:45 am ET

Will this extended campaign curb the ability of the Democratic candidates to tap these same contributors during the general election? How many times can you keep going back to the well? McCain now gets to start building his war chest for November while the Democrats keep spending and spending. Nobody's worried about that?

S.B. Stein E.B. NJ   March 6th, 2008 11:44 am ET

The money that is being raised by the candidates is getting outrageous. I wish we could raise that kind of money for charitable causes and medical research. I hope that voters really take a good look at what the candidate plans on doing rather than the money that they could raise and have raised in the past. Look at Romney and his lack of winning despite putting more money into the race and still not winning.

Realist   March 6th, 2008 11:44 am ET

Clinton has got her mojo back. This woman is really a fighter.

Hussein   March 6th, 2008 11:43 am ET

Where did the three million come from?
I wish the press would make an issue out of the most fundamental difference between the two Democrats:

Obama does not take money from corporate lobbyists or PAC's.

Deborah   March 6th, 2008 11:42 am ET

Her victories are truly amazing considering she didn't have as much money to spend. Go Hillary 08

Manuel TX   March 6th, 2008 11:42 am ET

Part of that $3ML came from my wallet.

Go Hill! :)

Shannon Shiflett   March 6th, 2008 11:42 am ET

what is this clinton hiding in her tax return?
