(CNN) - Six hours after senior advisers to Hillary Clinton told reporters her March fundraising total would not be released until later this month, campaign sources tell CNN her campaign raised $20 million during that time period - about half of what rival Barack Obama took in for the month.

Oh My!!!
She should quit... Seriously... It's about time!
And yet she is still tied with him in the polls and even ahead in some states...
Where are the 2006-2007 tax records. Waiting until after PA. What are you hiding?
Ok, so she didn't break the bank in March, but she did close the delegate gap. Oh, wait...
The heavens are opened and the celestial choir are singing "Time to quit, Hillary"
Hillarys' supporters should do the right thing and start supporting Obama, so that we will have a democrat in the White House. Hillarys' supporters should think about the country and support the winning candidate.
Barack Obama – President of United States of America
Whats more important is how little of it can be used for the primary season. THATS BECAUSE ALL OF HER MONEY COMES FROM LARGE DONORS WHO ARE MAXED OUT.
Obama has his worst month effort in the press and raises 40 million.
Wake up HIllary supporters, lets get behind Obama now and make this election a mandate victory for Barack.
Time to put your pettiness aside for the good of the country.
lol, loser
OOPS!
Whats funny is that in this election, the little bank will take over the big bank. Obama does not stand a chance in the fall.
Keep it up, we all love a good fight. However, neither can win a general election.
Now that is down from the $35 million she raised in February. I wonder why? Liar comes to mind. She is losing her support because people realize that she cannot be trusted.
Looks like the well is beginning to dry up. I wonder how much of that is for the general election. Also, if you take out the 14 million in debts the campaign has, then she really only raised 6 million and has only about 3 million on hand. Obama has over 70 million on hand.
Hmmmm!!!!
I don't underestimate Hillary Clinton's ability to use that amount to its fullest potential to ruthlessly tear down Barack Obama and tear apart the Democratic party and hand the election to John McCain.
That is good enough to beat Obama.
Obama is the guy who voted against the
BORN ALIVE INFANTS PROTECTION ACT
in the Illinois Senate.
He did not give those babies a chance to life, why should we give him a chance to be our President ?
Vote for Hillary.
And no more than half of that was from a loan I gave myself. Just don't ask me for my donor list or my tax returns. Ever.
I'm surprised she was able to give that much.
She is going down in the polls.
I wonder how much of that 20 million she loaned to the campaign!
B-b-b...but.. I thought she said earlier that she raised 40 million?
She wouldn't lie to us, would she?!
Half the money, half the candidate. Makes sense!
To all people:
People who are poor and not able to donate everyday are donating to these camps. Ridiculing the raised total amount is ridiculing these people.
If we need to ridicule- ridicule the camp who is not using this $$$ effectively.
Democrats raised $$$60M, Republicans raised $12M....congrats to the Democrats
Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get out ofthe race Hilary............It's over.
Only half as much money, only half as good, and finally... Only half a lady.
SNIZAP!
It doesn't matter – Clinton or Obama, they're both approximately the same. Clinton is less-able to hide the fact she's a true politician, that's all. Obama is good at hiding it, but in the end he's just a politician.
I wonder how much McCain is raising for the GE? With democrats wasting all their money on the primaries, does that mean they won't have that much for the GE?
McCain has more integrity than both of them combined. I can't wait to see what he does as president!
McCain 08
Hillary is half the man Barack Obama is.
She should use that money to pay the people she owes money to.
Where are her tax returns??????????
Didn't they say they'd release her figures in two weeks? What happened, feeling the pressure? lol
She raises that money with regular hard working people, Obama raises the same amount of money with 3 people including Ophra.
Hillary Clinton for President 2008 all the way !!!!!!!!!
Wow, it's sad when raising $20 million is considered crummy.
I wonder how much McCain raised. But we won't hear about this in the media. The MSM love McCain too much to point out his flaws.
Nice man! I think Mr Jimmy has been quite mean spirited these past 8 years. Whether you like Bush or not. An ex -President should know when to shut his mouth. Loser. Maybe that goes for Bill as well but don't call Carter a saint. I don't see the other ex-presidents saying anything bad about him. Maybe that's because – who cares?
Hillary will continue to raise less money until she releases those tax records that elite group that holding out won't release any funding. Hillary knows this, why does she continue holding out.
Thats because she's half as honest, half as courageous and half as moral as O.
Go for it O
??? Didn't she say that they would release the figures on April 20th?
They are too darned wishy-washy!!! What the heck is going on in their management offices? Is this what they would do if they were in charge of EVERYTHING????
Good for Sen. Obama! Everyone wants to back a winner and the candidate of CHANGE!
Ouch!
Here's the question I have. How much of that is actually for the primary and how much is for the general election?
I imagine it may not be enough to cover outstanding debt and her loan to the campaign.
Aye Carumba!
I think the fat lady is starting to warm up for the "mi mi mi mi me".
This show is about over.
Hope there is enough for health insurance for her campaign workers now. I would hate to see them go another 3 months without coverage.
Q: Can we raise twice as much money as Hillary Clinton?
A: Yes We Can!
LISTEN ALL HILLARY SUPPORTERS. SEND HER $1 OR $5 OR $10
IF WE ALL DO IT TODAY, his money won't matter in Penn.
Sorry Obama all the money in the world can't buy you voters in Penn.
they're not that stupid
will it carry her all the way...
What's happening with Hillary. I thought we were waiting for Tax deadline of April 15 before releasing how much she raised in March!
Can you see how self-destructive Hillary is? I am an Obama supporter but I just fell bad for her each day that she does these rediculous things.
There is a reason that Barack Obama has raised more money than Hillary Clinton – more people support him and he hasn't exhausted his donor base, it just keeps growing and growing like his support.
Like rats from a sinking ship people are leaving Mrs. Clinton and it shows; not only in the faces, but in the dollars. She's acting like the angry wife in a bitter divorce. Not pretty.
obama is winning from all angle money, delegate and popular vote. i like Hillary but please stop making remark that Obama can not win that divisive. we are all democrats. let act like one
That's it, she would not have enough money to campaign against McCain. But, Obama can and he will win this nomination.
Few more days to go to see the tax returns.
By the time they release the official numbers, it'll be probably be half of that. But everyone will forget by then.
The Clinton camp actually did this about a year ago. Aback in Feb of 07 they claimed to rake in $6.3 million in a single day. Later when they released the official numbers 3 months later, it turned out to be closer to $2 million. But no one in the media confronted them about it....
Tsk! Tsk! I am not surprised with all of the lies she tells. It sounds like people are starting to see through her. Try these additional lies for size:
1) HIllary claims she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, who scaled Mount Everest . . .NOT!
2) Hillary claims Chelsea was jogging around the World Trade Ctr on 9/11. In fact, Chelsea was watching everything on TV.
3) Hillary claims that she started the Children's Health Insurance program. NEVER INVOLVED!
4) When running for N.Y. Senate, she claimed she has always been a Yankies fan. Too hilarious!
I have lost respect for the Clinton's. Sorry Hill-billies!
I now can see why the Hillary Camp did not want to announce the amount they have raised on the same line/day as the Obama Camp. People can too easily do the math, side by side. Sounds like the donor money is drying up and out of the money raised, they still have outstanding debts from the previous two months. Hmmmmm
Now Hillary, WHERE ARE THOSE TAX RETURNS?? COME ON, YOU CAN DO THIS, IT WONT HURT A BIT TO RELEASE THEM.. AMERICA AND PENN IS WAITING
That fine. You don't need more because you have enough ,; you don't paye taxes and your campagn can always borrow money from you...
All this money raised and they say everyones hurting....Where the hell does all the money come from, that's what I'd like to see, especially Obamas
not bad. i was expecting a little less.
OBAMA 08
That's great news. Now she can may back the Mom and Pop shops she's in debt to. She can also pay her $18.95 phone bill.
I really don't see how people could think she is winning.
****all aboard the Hillary Clinton failboat*****
That's still a lot of money. Clinton has lots of loyal supporters and good democrats. In the end, we will all support whichever democrat is the nominee, despite what we say and how we are voting now. I know lots of Obama and Clinton supporters who say they will vote for McCain -and are being honest – but when they recover from their disappointment and think about it, they will vote for the democrat, whoever it is.
Behind in popular vote and elected delegates. Caught lying about her resume. Some of her superdelegates are looking for an exit (Corzine, Murtha) now the money is starting to dry up. In 4 months she has mismanaged her campaign and went from the inevitable to the irrelevant. I hope this is the last we see of any clinton for generations. No more Clinton/Bush dynasties.
KEEP FIGHTING HILLARY
No Wonder they needed to try and delay this infomation. This is a major indicator of her impending doom. If you take the 10 million she has in back unpaid bills she has just 10 left!
Reality check for her very vocal but I guess CHEAP supporters eh?
Even if this is true (highly unlikely), it's still only half of Obama's when they're already behind in every count... hnmm time to drop out maybe?
Some of that money was thanks to me...... I contribute periodically!
she is not half of the candidate she tought she was.
LIAR.
March 31, 2008 on her homepage she had a splash saying she needs to raise $3 mil for March. She raised 3.4 mil. I saw it April 1 on her website and have a screen shot.
Don't tell me people are deciding to not support a campaign of lies and hate... What has the world come to?
Hilldog!!
Money is a key indicator of who, where support is coming for. The major question is why would Hillary think that Obama cannot win? Someone please explain this to me.....please explain this to me!
Some one should look up the definition of loser. President carter may not have been the best President, but is an absolutely great human being. He did not leave the office in disgrace, he did not sacrifice his spirituality for politics, nor did he pander just to get votes. Americans have given up their greatness for materialism and bs.
Obama's contribtions average about $96.00 however Clinton's average contributors was about $170.00. Why is it that? Can someone remind her that she overdue on paying her bills.
Senator Hillary Clinton is one of the most distructive people in government much like President Bush she like to rack up bills for someone else to pay.
How in the hell can she say that she pro union when she worked on the board of Wal-Mart fighting the Union. She was heartless than and she is heartless now. By her not paying her bill some one can be going hungry. Raising $20 millions dollars she should pay all of her bills.
This is a good total for Senator Clinton. She will win Pennsylvania, albeit not by as large a margin her campaign was hoping for. In the end, Obama will get to be the Nominee and she will endorse him. Come November, the Democrats will be united and will handily defeat McCain. Sure there will be lots of anger from Clinton supporters and they will loudly voice their support for McCain in an outburst of anger and resentment toward Obama for sneaking into this election and snatching the first real chance we have come to electing a female President. Obama will probably have to pick a female other than Clinton (Kathleen Sebelius, D-KS) for the VP spot to satisfy the majority of these supporters. Clinton will be forced to campaign hard and strong for Obama to heal the wounds of the Party. She will probably have to go as far as to say, "I will not run again in 2012"
Plenty of money to do what she has to do for ads and campaign costs.
She will not be overspending peoples' hard-earned money saturating the airways trying to go for a knockout punch like Obama. It's hard to see in this hard economic time.
Parents, STOP GIVING MONEY TO YOUR CHILDREN. They are spending it on Obama!

I saw on her website that she was bluffing that the momentum was with them in every direction, where is that, oops...., not any more.
She is losing lead in PA, Obama is closing the gap. What is next. Lose the game and leave the campaign.
Obama '08.
Well, she raised 20 million, Obama raised 40 million, and John MCCain's wife lent several million to his campaign; and we STILL have senior citizens in this country eating cat food, and most of us can't afford to fiil our gas tanks anymore.
Chris Mannoia
ok i knew it wouldnt be much but ha ha ha! isnt she the one playing dirty? i guess its time to donate some more
fail fail fail
Hillary will use that $20 million to attack Barack – forcing him to spend his campaign dollars fending off her impossible attempt at reaching the nomination. The campaign dollars SHOULD be used for the general election – not fighting Hillary Clinton.
DROP OUT HILLARY!!
Obama '08
More important than the amount is the question of "who" makes these donations. Obama's donations come small and many like the voices of America.
So, Clintonistas, put your money where your mouth is.
so much fail, it is sad.
Who cares about Hillary any more. Lets focus on Obama and McCain please.
Campaign Staffers Insurance Premiums-is the bill paid and are Campaign Staffers not insured yet?
Campaign Staffers Paychecks? Have they received them yet?
Ohio Vendors and other State Vendors-Are those bills paid? They
are trying hard to make a small living for their families.
Any outstanding phone bills? Utility Bills? Rent Bills? Food Bills?
What is exactly unpaid?
How much do you owe?
Love staying in the Campaign for the sake of living "high life".
on Campaign Money.
Problem with the campaign, too many tricks and lies.
Retired Professional White Woman for Obama from Day 1.
What is Hillary waiting for.
Hillary, why don't you ask for a loan from Bill – he sure made enough last year. And you consider yourself just an everyday person – what a joke you are
Backdated that loan, huh? What a bunch of pathetic managers she has. It all reflects directly on her. Sad. Sad. Sad.
WE ARE VOTING THE SAME % TOO.
Ouch that's not much of a budget to work with, I guess that explains why she can't pay her Bills. Maybe she should campaign within her means and not wait for the govt to bail her out like all the mortgage companies.
That is still a lot of money to raise, considering that she's running second to a very charming (that's all he has) opponent.
Go Hillary!
Amazing what can get done where there's a will to do it. Now use that new-found will to release the tax information. It can be done just as easily... IF.YOU.REALLY.WANT.TO.
Right... that's what I thought.
Go home. Campain in deep debt and hanging on life support. We the people are ready to move on without the Bush/Clinton dynasty. Crisis, crisis, crisis. This is the reality in Hillary's campaign.
Now what about her Tax return(s)?
Thanks Hillary for revealing the sad news!
I would suggest that you and your camp should try to do the right thing instead of resisting at every step.
When Obama talks about change, this is the kind of change he means.
If we were to have a person like Hillary in White House, we will see nothing but statusquo and washington as usual politics. How will things be different than they are at present?
We need Obama because he is not spoilt by Washington politics yet. Hope he will not, ever!
Hillary supporters, it is time to get behind change – get behind the only candidate who can change the future for USA. Abandon the dilly dally candidate, and vote for Obama.
I thought Hillary was supposed to be Privileged and White.
Now I see why the Clinton campaign did not want to announce their totals on the same day in the same breathe as the Obama campaign. Sounds like her supprt is drying up and there are still outstanding bills to be paid to vendors in Ohio and dont forget about health premiums due for her employees. She is the Healthcare leader but can't pay health premiums Hmmmmm
Hillary and Bill, you have done a lot to destroy the party and now your chickens have come home to roost. Sound familiar??
Hillary you are wearing me out....
Please drop out.
Your supporter.
The wheels are falling off the wagon. This thing is over and Obama needs to focus on McCain starting today.
Hillary, I love you, but its time to do the honorable thing and step aside.
President Obama. That has a nice ring.
lol.
That's all she needs.. To Clean out the Weeds... Now, Hillary's going to do some Gardening... And dig out the few roots, Obama has left.
Not bad but also not good enough. Obama's political machine dwarfs Hillary's. Let's see if he will keep his promise to John McCain to use public funding for the general election.
Hey that was fast! Big donors must be drying up. Hope that $20M goes a long way toward settling her debts and paying for her employees health care.
Hillary's campaign is at the end of her downfall and lies. Bill and Hillary please..go home with your lying family....
Thank you Hillary. $20M is nothing to sneeze at. I think it's still better than what McCain has been getting.
Could someone tell senator Clinton that she did not when Texas, illegal votes don't count.
Obama won with more delegates. Obama 99 to Clinton 94 do the math.
Clinton only wastes people's donation for her own selfserving desire. I wish the media would show side by side the opposite views or statements by Clinton, such as her recall of Bosnia's snipers fire and the actual scene; her telling people Obama wants to end the race with him saying she can go as long as she likes; her 3 am phone call and the misspoke due to sleep-deprivation; her saying MI&FL votes won't count (or her signed agreement of such) and her spin that she cares for their voters' right; So many that will make a hilarious cartoon series.
From a two week estimate to six hours. We can't trust the Clinton camp for the simplest of information involving her own campaign; how can she be trusted in our highest office?
AHAHAHAHAHA
I guess her real experience is how to lose an election and bankrupt a campaign, which had all the necessary requirements to have an easy victory (name recognition, "fat cat" supporters, and the most expensive campaign advisors). She should stay in the race because this is so amusing and pathetic.
See their Hillary now that wasn't so hard was it. So Obama raised twice as much as you did, it's ok.
Time to end it and cut losses
being first lady, do not garentee win
Obama will win PA becasue people now see who will bring change.
OOPS! Well, that explains the recycled, half-baked 3 a.m. economic ad.
Another thing, Hillary, I'd like to "ask you", (Cue in other new shabby ad): Where is all this experience you've been touting that more recently has been shot down not only by sniper fire but your own delusional conflation of lies and exaggerations.
I think it is sad we are bragging about how much money each campaign has made. The U.S. has hit hard economic times. It seems a bit wrong to me.
This again shows from both campaigns millions of dollars are being donated and gas prices are sky rocketing and jobs are being lost. Let's end this cry for funds if you know numerically that you can't win.
Bye bye it is time to go!
Wait a minute...yesterday she's 8.7million in the red and now she's $20million in the black...hmmm...
Time for another personal loan!
Well, you gotta give Hillary an "A" for effort. She's still in the race and still trying.
Sadly, it will all be for nothing for her. McCain will be the next president. The writing is on the wall. He shot up to the top last February and will stay there.
GOES TO SHOW THAT GOING NEGATIVE NEVER HELPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
to all the clinton supporters that will surely minimize this in some way...why should I be vote to let Clinton run this country when she cannot run her campaign and manager her monye
People, you do realize that the country is in DEFICIT, and the next president will start at a NEGATIVE amount....now, Clinton started with a surplus, but now OWES people money
WHO IS THE BETTER CANDIDATE HERE, AND MORE EFFICIENT, AND SMART RUNNING HIS CAMPIANG--> OBAMA!!!!!!!
hillary
check with obama still VP post is open ..
$20 Million minus $8.7 Million leaves $11.3 Million.
Pay your bills, Hill.
Hillary needs to run INDEPENDENT!!!!
Oh well half as much money and half as many states, too bad for her.
The really strange thing is that there must be no communication over there at team Clinton.
Is this the woman we want running our all ready bankrupt economy. I think not.
Also she did not pay her employees insurance bills for two months and she say she knows how to get us all universally covered, ha!
She is a liar.
I think Hillary is lying about the 20 Million dollar raise for March, Hillary is not to be trusted
Can she go ahead and pay the people in New Hampshire, Ohio and all those other states where her campaign owes money. Or maybe yet Obama can lend her campaign some money and more.
You are all missing the point. Why focus on the negative? The amount of interest and new voter registrations during this primary should be front news!!!. Democrats let's get together. Stop all the bickering!!!
Track the money and then you can make comments about where the candidats receive their financing. I suggest people take a look at opensecrets.org.
sophia in nyc, are you that stupid? Really? You must be a young college student trying to figure things out still. The 3m goal was for the last two days of the month – that was raised in two days – I am a Hillary supporter and I follow her fundraising.
You are clearly naive. Obama will not win the GE but I really don't care. I'd rather have McCain than that polished salesman.
With less money and she still there. Go Hillary!!!!!!
spend wisley clinton. we dont want you overspending yet again
Good for you hillary now start paying your debt and heath care for your employees. Also we still need to see your tax returns, what are you hiding. You can run but you can not hide, you have been through it before remember Bosnia. Get those returns and done with it.
Hello Jack or whomever is reading this
As an Astrologer who came up with a 9 degree 11 minute Gemini rising chart for the USA I am quite sure that Obama will be the next President, My personal choice would be McCain, but that just is not going to happen.
G..don't you realized both CLINTON and Obama have BROKEN ALL DEMOCRATIC FUND RAISING RECORDS?
McCain raises 12 Million...which is a respectable number in a Presidential Election. 80 Million is needed.
I think the economy is not busted right now because Obama and Clinton are spending money like crazy...on their campaigns.
Just thought of something funny!
Hillary's supporters drink a lot of beer that McCain's wife produces. Hillary's supporters get poor and get bigger bellies, while McCain's wife rakes in millions.
I heard McCain's wife has agreed to open her beer money coffers to pay for his biography tours. The beer money she got from Clintonians!
If you think about it, Clintonians are funding McCain's campaign at the expense of her own presidential bid. Won't it be smarter to give that contribution to Obama? Wake up Clintonians – do yourself a favor and give your money and vote to Obama. Please!
5 million of that is her money..... Maybe Bill could loan you some from his Russian ties.
My question to Hillary supporters is this:
If Hillary cannot take care of her own fiscal responsibilities (bills/healthcare), then how in the world will she help America’s money problem?????
Hillary I am your supporter, but when it is time to go it time to go. I suggest you drop out of the race and go back to your senate seat in New York you can always run again in 2012. Love you hillary
And adding...i just donated $500.00 to her campaing.
Hillary I would do whatever to help you win (phone bank, door to door, rallies etc). I am also going to PA this Saturday with a group of volunteers from NYC to campaing for you Hillary. We will defeat Obama... Hillary is by far the best dem candidate we have period. SAY NO TO OBAMA, AND HIS RACIST WIFE, THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED.
HILLARY ALL THE WAY.............2016
Since you are up at 3am..... You could work part-time as a security guard.
Hey, how come this news item is so small, you can hardly see it on the page. Is Clinton News Network trying to minimize the value of this extraordinary gap between Obama and Clinton's fundraising in march?
Obama supporters will make sure he has all the resources he needs to win. There will be shock and awe when you see what we'll be able to do to ensure he wins in the fall. Don't underestimate the power of our committment. The people are formidable and the republicans cannot stop us.
LOL wow...no wonder she wanted to wait!
By the way...what about your taxes?
First they say they're going to wait to release the figures, then they suddenly release them 6 hours later. Just another indication of a out of control organization. We need a leader who's in control, who's on top of his organization. We need Obama.
THIS JUST IN: Barack has agreed to pay off all of the Clinton campaign outstanding bills if she drops out of the race.
Sound like a good deal to me.
its not all money look at romney , obama will not carry my state in november I am from missouri, I HAVE PICKED THE PRESIDENT 100% RIGHT SENSE 1981 (I AM NOT PICKING OBAMA) NO HILLARY NO DEM IN THE WHTE HOUSE.
Is that before or after she pays for Health Insurance for her employees???
Hey Hillary .... The we need to cut spending. Cut half your staff. They are fighting each other anyways. also
Greyhound is offering some deep discounts this month.
Ouch! That's got to hurt. The amount Hillary fundraised in total is not bad, $20 million.
The part that hurts is that 6 HOURS AGO SENIOR ADVISERS OF THE CLINTON CAMP TOLD REPORTERS THAT HILLARY'S FUNDRAISING TOTAL WOULD NOT BE RELESED UNTIL LATER IN THE MONTH OF APRIL! Her coalition of folks is weakening as evidence by the many loose-lips. As my mother use to say "Loose Lips, Sinks Ships!"
pay the cost and be the boss
obama 08
paid the cost and be the boss
obama 08
The Obama campaign will have brought in twice as much money. What is even more impressive is how much of that is due to the number of first-time and small donor contributions...the numbers are staggering. The reason, Obama is the "People's Candidate" and even in a time of economic certainty Americans are willing to give their time, their energy and their "hard earned" money to a candidate who offers a new direction and vision for America.
Interesting that the article on Sen. Obama's total for March reads:
"Impressive as the $40 million figure is, it is well below the $55 million Obama raised in February."
Sen. Clinton raised $20 million in March–$15 million less than in Feb.
Sen. Obama raised $40 million in March–$15 million less than in Mar.
So why doesn't the Clinton article also read:
"Impressive as the $20 million figure is, it is well below the $35 million Clinton raised in February."
it says that the clinton campaign SAYS it raised 20 million but without data to prove it theres no reason to believe that number to be true. its probably less and we will find out soon. and lets not forget they still have debts to pay off.
CONGRATS HILLARY...20 MIL IS NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT. IT'S JUST THAT OBAMA RUNS A DYNAMIC CAMPAIGN. IF WE WERE TO RALLY WITH HIM IF ELECTED HE COULD DO GREAT THINGS.
DEMOCRATS 08
20M Good enough for Pa......then we can raise another 20 to 30 for upcoming primary.....
So with that $20 milliion she can now start paying the people that she own money too.
20 MIL IS DECENT BUT SERIOUSLY HILLARY,,,YOU DID NOT WIN TEXAS.
when clinton releases her tax returns apr 15 as she said she would nothing is goiing to change.......the race will continue as it has...so why do these people keep harping about taxes...get a life
UMMMMMM. MAYBE SHE SHOULD HAVE HAD A PLAN AFTER SUORE TUESDAY.......... OH YEAH SHE PLANNED ON GETTING ALL OF THE SUPER DELEGATES.................
SO WHEN WILL THE TAXES BE RELEASED??????????
That's certainly a lot less than Obama, but then, her demographic is generally not as affluent. It does not mean that not as many support Clinton; it just means it's harder for her to spread her campaign platform than for Obama. I am still voting for Clinton! In any other year 20 mil would be phenomenal.
gerard morei:
actually sweetie, its THE OTHER WAY ROUND!! as obama has consistently proved, he makes all his money from small donors, and first time donors (and no, oprah did not fund his campaign, there is a maximum amount people can give, which is 4500)
so long story short, WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE funded his campaign, as it should be!!
on the other hand, clinton can't tell us who funded her campaign
PEOPLE, GET UR FACST RIGHT BEFORE RISKING SOUNDING LIKE A COMPLETE IDIOT ON THIS BLOG!!
OBAMA 08!!
(and please stop with the "wake up America" comment, as if you are the only one in this 6 million plus people country that is smart and awake....get over yourselvev!!!)
she absolutely should not leave. being behind in likability polls and in fundraising and she's still holding her own.
As the "best" candidate for president, it's amazing that you found a miracle and managed to release your campaign fundraising figures in 2 hours instead of 2 weeks. Amazing what the power of the press will do!
Wow! As president, can you imagine her administration flip-flopping all over the place responding to every call by the press on every issue??
Would someone please tell me why Hillary is "working the night shift," "dodging sniper fire", answering those "dreaded 3 a.m. phone calls"?? I hear Motel 6 is looking for night clerks in New York after the election! Hillary would be well qualified!!
Finally, the reality settles in – please leave the race with the tiny bit of grace leftover. Thank you, Hillary! Being a good senator will get my vote for you in 8 years.
Obama is a good movement organizer and speaker, but technically, he will not be a good president. You can understand this from the history of the US, history of the world.....
Other thing I want to say is that even Obama has a lot of money at the time of Ohio, Texas, but he still lost the contention.
Today, the DNC has asked them to cut the spending, it is rediculos to say I will bring you more money while at the same time spending the money like tear apart piece of paper, doesn't it?
TOO EXPENSIVE, TOO EXPENSIVE......
Interesting turn here.... Those bean counters really turned the screws to get all those dollars counted.
From 2 weeks to 6 hours?
Come on Sen. Clinton, can you please give us something, anything that we might believe you are saying?
I fear Hillary's campaign will use the last dregs of their money for an anti-Obama propaganda bombshell on April 20. They'll have had six weeks to cook something up.
Hillary is a gutsy fighter! This is a first contest when people discount experience because they are charmed by S. Obama's talk of change! I want to see him change his church first!
Really about time to quit Hillary.
Save your legacy.
Obama has been outspending 4 to 1 to Hillary. Where is the 4 to 1 results?
He can get a lot of money, but not the right results. Is this how he managing this country too?
LOL...
Do you people really know what you are talking about or are you spitting out something you think is witty? I am ashamed to be a Democrat and reading the garbage you children are writing.
Its been proven she doesnt need the money to win
Hillary owes my cousins money! They call but the phone just rings, and rings, and rings....
Yeah it is obvious that Hillary's campaign has been doing something wrong. My guess while not an educated one would be that they had one to many HAIR and NAIL days over there LOL. Jus kidding ladies don't get em in a bunch. But all jokes aside the Obama camp deserves alot of credit more than we a looking at. They have successfully involved the hearts, minds, and pockets of WE THE PEOPLE. TRUE politics! I'm a first time voter and i'm in my thirties I never believed in this system cause it never made logical sense. But Obama does, I'm counting on his judgement and team to make it happen.
Frankly, I am sick of seeing Hillary on TV. Whatever she says is lined with lies and her personal ambition.
She agreed with the other candidates that Florida and Michigan won't count, but now is changing her mind because it suits her.
Pennsylvania should spare us all the pain, and vote for Obama, so we democrats can start uniting the party and stop wasting any more crucial $$ on this primary.
And...McCain, he's now won the nomination, but what is he doing? He could be developing policies, trying out solutions to problems, but instead he is doing a "biographical tour" of the country. Another politician, like Hillary, who sees the whole point of this exercise as winning a popularity contest, rather than trying to solve real issues for the country.
McCain and Clinton are purely in this race for their own perceived greatness.
Obama $40 million
Average donation under $100
Over 200,000 new donors this month
Over 1.3 million total donors
Hillary's math test:
a) I can run this country's economy
b) I can ruin this country's economy
Her Answer: b)
YES she is correct she will ruin us, because she will pocket it all in, after all this is personal
Hillary is in a state of diminishing returns– economics 101.
Hillary won't quit until she's milked every cash cow out there that's contributing to her campaign so she can get her bills paid. It's not like the Clinton's haven't made millions since leaving the White House, she just wants the little people of America, in unimportant states, that are too small to matter, to give her the money so she won't have to use any of those millions already in her bank accounts, and also, who knows how that money ended up in their bank accounts. Maybe some of it's from her slumlord grandmother from Pennsylvania.
Here's what's so funny: Hillary's is unable to raise the same amount of money to be even close to Obama even though she had all the "fat cats" in her corner. Her fundraising effort is so poor that her campaign is not paying all their bills and Hillary and company are now being called "deadbeats." This is same Hillary who kicked off the campaign and considered herself the Democratic Preisidential Nominee Incarnate. This is same Hillary who was going to end Obama's campaign on Super Tuesday on February 5th. This was the same Hillary who led Obama in PA by 20 points in February and now is done to 9 points with three weeks to go.
It dosent matter all his money didnt get his victory in Penn. I dont believe money does really anything .
Drop. Out. Now. Lady.
You are not ready for this regardless of what you say.
You don't have the leadership skills.
You are the worst money manager. Ever.
I was never a supporter of Hillary. I have always seen her and Bill's true colors. I think she should just bow out gracefully. I am not saying that because I support Obama, but she should just stop thinking of herself at this point. Let Obama focus on McCain, it is going to be a bloody fight. If she bows out I think I would respect her more.
In other words, beware small business owners in states that still have primaries to go. If she can not raise enough money to pay her bills, when the election is over and Obama is finally named the winner, Hillary will not be able to pay you! Demand the money up front, or expect to take a loss because she can not spend the money that is for the General election to pay the bills that she will still owe for the primary.
I can't believe people are scoffing at $20M. Most of Hillary's supporters are low wage earners so the fact that she can raise $20M is amazing.
Keep fighting Hillary!!! Mrs. Edwards stated on "Morning Joe" that your health care plan is better than Obama's.
For those of you who believe Ophra has donated all the funds read the ad. Obama had over 216,000 new donators just for the month of March. So, trust me he has more than Ophra backing him. To bad we can't say the same for Hillary. It looks like she lost the big wigs and some.
Dina, Obama raised $60M in February and "only" $40M in March so let me ask the same question "I wonder why?"
What's really sad is the majority of this money will go to pay good for nothing consultants like Mark Penn, Carville,Wolfson and Singer.
They have run an abysmal campaign and done nothing but piss the Super delegates off with their high minded manner.
Seriously these guys were planning a coronation and not a nomination battle.
I don't blame Hillary supporters for not contributing as much, theres no sense of fiscal responsibility from this campaign.
This story has inaccurate facts. She really rasied 10 milion last month. After she pays her debts from the campaign she only has 10 milion remaining. Do the math CNN.
Nobama is running so many ads in PA that we are already tired of him and his ads. Wasting money and annoying the voters in a state he will not win.
Why is Obama raising so much more money? More small donors who give often and more new donors. The Superdelegates are beginning to catch on that people feel part of the campaign THEY are funding. Obama calls for personal responsibility, and we, his loyal donors, phone volunteers, etc., feel responsible for helping to bring about the new political reality we want, by working for and paying for OUR campaign. We expect Barack to push for changes, and we will be VERY sure other elected officials know we expect them to help move the country forward. My generation helped end an unpopular war and extend voting and other civil rights. Now we get to help this generation impact the country's agenda!
There IS a new day coming!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nancy, 64 from Tennessee
Give it up FAT LADY!!!!
Florida for Hillary. They may not want to count the votes we cast for Hillary, but they have no choice but to count our dollars. i challenge each floridian who voted fror Hillary to give just $10 to her campaign. lets show Dean that he will not keep us silent any longer.
The reason that Hillary got more votes in FL is because we want her to be our next president. We live in one of the richest states in the union, lets show how much we support our favorite candidate.
Hillary '08
If Rev. Wright was Hillary's pastor for 20 years, will you vote for her ? Knowing that he hate this country and is racist.
WAY TO GO HILLARY!
HALF THE MONEY AND STILL LEADING!!!!!!!
GOOD POLL NUMBERS!!!!!!!
FL AND MI SUPPORT YOU HILLARY!!!!!!!
Hillary supporters are all whiners.
Wake up! You're losing in every category
How can Hillary make any statements about the financial institutions that have hurt homeowners, when she is hurting many small businesses, Mom and Pop businesses, by not paying her bills? If she only raised $20 million, and had $13 million in debt left from February, then she will not have enough money to run her campaign and still be able to pay the small businesses. If she is insisting on continuing to run and put everything on "credit" with the small business owners, when all is said and done, she will not be paying the small business owners. Her campaign is broke, but she doesn't care because it won't come out of her pocket, it will come out of the pocket of all those left holding the bag.
The TRUTH shall set you free Billary.......FREE!!!!!
Its done..... she claims she knows how to answer the "red phone" at 3 AM for foreign and economic crisis.
Bosnia showed us what she would do at 3 AM. She would be "sleep deprived" and comment about snipers in the hills. Next up, nuclear war to take them and Sinbad out.... while she rides the unicorn to the next dream world.
NAFTA and her campaign finances show us how she would handle economic crisis. She isnt paying small vendors, can not raise cash and keeps charging it because she has "hope" that it will take care of it self. As American as that is these days with the housing and credit crisis, it is NOT the leadership by example we need.
And how dare her say Obama can't win. People say never underestimate a Clinton. What they should be saying is don't underestimate Barack Obama. He gets stronger everyday. She needs to call it quits. He has run a much better campaign and the sooner she leaves the campaign trail the better for all of us.
HILLARY. WAKE UP. IT'S OVER. BE A DEMOCRAT AND SUPPORT OBAMA.
Running. On. Fumes.
Hillary, you pledged to release your tax returns within a week – that was back on March 25! Since when did 10 days go for a week?
I have no problem with you waiting till Aprill 15 or after, but if you say a week, then please make it a week. It's the American way.
Will you pull the troops out as promissed in 1 year (52 weeks of 10 days weeks) too?
520 plus days is not 1 year in my book.
and she still is winning in PA despite being outspent 2:1. Way to manage Oprah's money, Barack. Yes we can throw our money at Mr. Blank Screen. woohoo.... anyway, 5th or 6th anti-hussein message I've sent in that won't get posted.
Hillary, stop the three ring circus you are putting Americans through, do one thing if you possibly can. Bow out gracefully!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good for her! She will win, I believe! Shut up , those said "yes, we can!".
Oh well...this is enough evidence for her to step down.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! she just got half of what Obama got in the same time frame, she is done, she just wanted to pull a Hickupbee and stay around to be an annoyance to everyone. LOSER!
Just wait for the indictment of Illinois State Gov. Rod Blageovich in the Rezko trial any day now, headlines in Sun Times today. Our gov. is a super delegate for Obama. I guess our governor made some "bone-headed" mistakes too being aligned with slumlord Rezko. All the campaign $$ won't wash that away. Have fun with that Obamination.
Time to think of the country, not our seld interests Hitlery! Get out now and do us all a favor.
screw you obama supporters i wont vote for obama ever. Nor should Clinton supporters.
Any contributions to Clinton's campaign ought to carry the condition that service providers, staff and staff health insurance policies should be paid in full before any more money be allocated to ads and running up more campaign bills with small businesses and staff.
Ask for the votes of ordinary working people and stiff them at the same time.
My comment for the 3rd time (it was removed twice already):
Hillary supporters are "blue collars". It's no surprise if she can beat Obama in this regard.
Tom,
What Mr Integrity will do is sleep with one of his workers as he did with his current wives while he was married that is how much intergrity Mr. McSane has. Obama08!
YOU posters are sad. All you hate and bitter words. It's not Obama or Hillary that are tearing the party apart, it's YOU ALL
I am still dumbfounded by this perception of the Clintons fighting for the small guys, yet they boast over 50million in personal wealth, invest in tax havens, have the most influential movers and shakers of Wallstreet on their side and yet dont pay the small vendors.
But truth has a way of floating to the top after all the skimming. Watch that community organizer fellow who only recently finished paying his student loan and is worth less than 2 million in personal wealth. He is plugged in to fellow survivors and like the reeds in the sea they are taking any hit, with a sway and getting right back
After another Bush presidency wreaked things so bad for everyone for so long everywhere, what we need right now is another Clinton to FIX THE MESS and put the US back in track to prosperity JUST LIKE when Bill Clinton became president. This time IT IS JOBS AND THE ECONMY STUPID.
Get the money from the library
Hillary
Obamas money is based on effective internet networks among young people and kids. It tells nothing about sympathy.
Too bad billary! What goes around comes around.
Hillary didn't want to show she is not being supported by her followers.
It's possible that HRC could be understating her funds in order to bolster her underdog status and, in the event that she doesn't win the nomination, skim the rest for her personal accounts.
THE CLINTONS HAVE MONEY DONT GET ME WRONG. BUT SHE CAN NOT LEND HER SELF MONEY ANY MORE AND HER HAVING PROBLEM RAISING MONEY SHOWS THAT SHE HAS LOST THIS RACE. BOTTOM LINE WHO EVER CAN RAISE MORE MONEY WINS
This is one Clinton supporter that will never vote for Obama. You people are sick. Do any of you remember how good thing where with Clinton in the white house. The whole country was great & now you all spit on Clinton. If this is what you call uniting the country god help you all. This Obama is power hungry, ever since he got elected his has been running for a hier office & you say Clinton is power hungry. Give me a break, what a laugh. All the Dems I know are voted for Mccain, no one will vote for your new god. GOD HELP THIS PEOPLE
I think that Hillary should continue her quest for the nomination, because I truly believe that this fall racism will raise its ugly head and Barak Obama will lose about as bad as George Mcgovern... As ugly as racism is we must be real and somehow put both of these candidates on the same ticket.......Go HILLARY
Rumor has it the Clinton campaign "burn rate" is $500,000/day, which means she spent at least $15 million in March while raising $20 mill. But we don't know how much of that $20 mill was for the general election; it could easily be $5 million or more because we were hearing way back before Super Tuesday that a large fraction of her contributors had already maxed out on their $2300 limit for the primaries. Conclusion: cash on hand available for the primaries must be close to zero. No wonder they're stiffing vendors and skimping on media buys in Pennsylvania and foregoing them entirely in Indiana and North Carolina.
This is a campaign on artificial life support. Thus the scorched earth, slash-and-burn tactics against Obama. It guarantees she'll get on TV for free, it's her last desperate hope of knocking the nomination out of his grasp, and if that doesn't succeed it at least weakens him for November so McCain can win the presidency and Hillary can come back in 2012 with an "I-told-you-so" campaign against a 76-year-old incumbent still hopelessly bogged down in Iraq. Despicable.
Hi voters of PA. You like Rocky right? I am just like Rocky. I am white, Rocky is white. Obama does not look like Rocky. Obama looks like that bad guy who tried to beat Rocky up. So! Vote for Rocky and Hillary.
Good luck on that unpaid health insurance!
as expected, people simply just dont like her.
You Obama supporters (at least ones on this blog) are a mean-spirited, sanctimonious and hypocritical bunch. Keep up the nasty attacks against the Clintons and her supporters and you've ensured a McCain win in the general election. I never thought I would say this but these so-called Obama supporters are worst than the Republican attack machine. And I never thought I would say this but for the first time I am seriously considering abstain from voting should Obama win the primary. This is not a threat - this is a reflection of how disgusted I am with the election and with the Obama camp in general.
CNN, please publish this so Mr. Obama and his supporters and the high profile, male-dominated surrogates know the anger and resentment among the Clinton supporters. Perhaps, the Obama camp doesn't care and believes Obama can win without the support the other half of the Democratic Party.
TO ALL THE PENNSYLVANIA VOTERS.
Please don't be fooled by Sen. Clinton! She is staying in this race to try to get more donations, in order for her to pay off her outstanding debts.
Sen Clinton cannot pay her debts. Overdue payments include even the small creditors and campaigners. Now that she has collected $20million in donations for the month of March, I hope that she will be able to pay some overdue bills, she did not spend a lot in advertising in PA so where is the money going?
Obama cannot buy this election. If I were him I would be ashamed that I am robbing average Americans of precious dollars in a time of economic crisis. Enough of this fundraising madness!!! Let the people vote on the issues they believe in instead of brainwashing them with nonstop TV ads and asking them for money 10 times a day. For the past few weeks I get 10 emails from the Obama camp. My husband is unemployed and he wants me to donate to his "movement'? From what I see he seems to have enough. I thought Obama wants to the change the campaign finance laws. I am so disapointed on the guy that if he becomes the nominee I will vote McCain this year.
Someone said that Barack is half the man that Hillary is.
I say that's true when I look at her in her pants suit (LOL)
HEY! It isn't over till my vote gets counted.
Hillary for President!
For Obama to be outspending her the way he is and Hillary keeping neck and neck is amazing.
DId you know Barack did not release in his real tax returns
....google it, you will learn something
interesting campaign for the democrats
money raised is what should determine the winner?
keep it up and play into John McCain campaign,
So much for the campaign for change ..............sounds like the same old political game at play.......
I gues the Clinton adviser who said we should hang on for the next 2 weeks for this figure 'MISSPOKE'.
AS USUAL!!!
REALLY, THE disorganized Clinton campaign is a major argument
not to consider her for President.
I do not know what criteria she used to select her staff, but it seems
that the main criteria were Friendship and Gender, instead qualification.
This here is a typical example. Some staffers though that it would be
harmful to admit that she was not able to raise more tan 50% as OBAMA, then saw the reaction of the Media as there was no explanation of the release delay other than bad news and then, probably other staffers or herself decided to release the amont.
PROBABLY THE DELAY OF THE TAX RETURNS HAS THE SAME
EXPLANATION< MEANING BAD DISCLOSURES !!
ALBO
she can always use the money that her husband got from unnamed sources. let's see the tax return, hiding it is worse than showing it, ok, maybe not. well, any way, the penn voters are not going to know before the primary, just like the ohio voters didn't know her lobbying for nafta before its primary.
CYP- Hillary is pro a womens right to choose abortion. That's part of the Democratic platform. Many people believe life begins at conception so that would make Hillary as bad as Obama or any democrat!
you pople are quite disgusting, Ive never been ashamed to be a democrat until seeing some of the trash you obama supporters comes up with, in short come off it because realtiy is going to smack you in the face when myself and million of other democrats refuse to vote for him.
maybe hill aint raising enough money cause of all the SCARE TACTICS shes using during her campaign speeches, shes probably scaring her donors away, COME ON PEOPLE!! READ THE NEWSPAPER ARTICLES (the newspapers arent pro-bama by the way)
