Clinton has seen an influx in campaign cash since winning the Pennsylvania primary.
Clinton has seen an influx in campaign cash since winning the Pennsylvania primary.

NEW YORK (CNN) — Sen. Hillary Clinton's Pennsylvania victory seems to be helping her regain ground financially against rival Barack Obama, who has outraised her by tens of millions of dollars.

The day that followed Clinton's Pennsylvania win was the biggest day in the history of her campaign, according to Terry McAuliffe, her campaign chairman.

The New York senator raised $10 million through the Internet and had 80,000 new donors, he said.

Compare that to two months ago, when Clinton could not afford to pay staffers and even lent her campaign $5 million from her own pocket.

So now she can pay what she owes, or does she continue to stiff those she leaves in her wake?

Tamika   April 24th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

Why isnt CNN(the most watched news channel in my opinon)covering where Mr. and Mrs. Clinton are going to be tomarrow and why? Are you afraid of them like everyone else is..why isnt anyone covering "The Hillary Movie".. if this were Obama.. it would be OVER!!!!! you all should be ashamed of yourself as journalists…I am sure you wont be posting this!..people go to you tube and see the movie(full)for yourselves and wake up!!!!.. google Clinton V Paul (California April 25th 2008)…

If i get this posted it would be a miracle…and then you'd remain my MOST watched news channel(maybe)

Lawrence   April 24th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

Is she finally going to pay her bills?

rj   April 24th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

I believe it would leave her with 1 million once she pays off her debt.

Alice   April 24th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

oh, great… now this highly informative process that is helping the Democrats regain the White House can continue for another few months . . . :(

Independent   April 24th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

Hopefully she can pay some of those vendors now. And pay for her campaign's health insurance.

will   April 24th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

and that new money is paying for an ad on CNN's main political page. So much for a fair and balanced media. You should be ashamed.

Chriss   April 24th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

OK, so now she MIGHT be able to pay off SOME of her DEBT and pay for her employees health care.

She is STILL in the financial HOLE.

Come on Indiana, North Carolina, Oregon, et al, give Hillary the break she so desparately needs!

Her Royal Clintoness tires easily, causing her to lie about her name, her daughter and 9/11, Bosnia sniper fire, Rose Law Firm files, opposing the pre-emptive war with Iraq before she voted for the bill, how she made a lot of money on Wall street, her brothers being paid to get pardons, opposing NAFTA, accepting "donations" greater than the legal limit from Peter Paul, …

Giver her a gift - time off!

She needs to take a nice, long vacation and get some rest.

Obama '08

Tony Z- MD   April 24th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

Can we get an independent account? She has been known to lie. Does not matter just less than two weeks.

Scott C   April 24th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

Cool, she can pay back her vendors, her staffers and whoever else loaned her money.

Funny thing to note… She didn't GIVE her campaign 5 million, she lent her campaign 5 million… She intends to pay herself back.

She can TAKE the money from common Americans but HER money is just a loan.

This new money is going to get her out of debt, but almost zero out…

She can't afford to compete with Obama, because he has more support.

Fly Boy for Obama   April 24th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

How can you TRUST her website. Maybe she is counting all of her Monopoly money too.

Can't TRUST a LIAR & a CHEATER.

Charlotte   April 24th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

I donated yesterday… We, the over sixty females, are guilty of creating this mess. We went to work to make a better life for ourselves and our children. We worked for less pay than our male counterparts. We saw promotions based on gender rather than ability. We worked 8 or more hours per day and still had all the housework to do. We wanted our own car. We wanted our own money. We wanted to be more than the Mrs. Cleavers of the world. We did it all, and tried to teach our boys that it is ok to help around the house. You are still a man if you change a diaper. You are still a man if you help your wife clean house. The male EGO is very fragile. They have more muscles then we do, but we know how to use what we do have to the best advantage. Physically, they are the stronger of the sexes. The age of modern conviences makes muscle less important then it once was. We are finally at a time when women can do it all with relative ease. The male EGO is still very fragile and makes them resent the success of the female gender. Sorry boys, were here to stay. Hillary all the way….

Jack in ND   April 24th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

So is she going to use it to pay off old debts before incurring new ones, or is she writing off all the working Americans who provided her campaign with quality goods and services and continueher starring role in the coast to coast "I'm a Hypocrite!" show?

honkey white guy from cali   April 24th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

Yea and 4.5 million of that went straight in the pocket of a very large Washington lobbyist company oh could it be the one that mark Penn worked for Yes it was! and now even with all the extra cash she is still several million in debt! I do not believe the figures she is pushing from her website either! I will when she files the official report with the governement but I think she will not release the results like last month to hide her problems. cover up and deceit that is the Clinton game.

Hope And Change that is the Obama game lets get this done

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can!!

Rob   April 24th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

Note:

They had bundlers set up to donate through internet.

and PS. Obama camp has gotten 70,000 donations.

whoop-de-do   April 24th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

the way she has been mismanaging funds, it will all be gone by the end of the month; and even sooner if she starts paying her bills

X in Ann Arbor   April 24th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

On the one hand I like to see the enthusiasm of Democrats in general. But we shouldn't be wasting the money on this battle which is already over. The battle is in November, let's put the money where it is needed.

Hillary or Obama, '08 and '12!

charles   April 24th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

CNN stop protecting your ever lying Queen. Were is the story about Clinton lying about Newzealand Prime Minister. calling her as former when she is still in office. Isnt that the worst foreign experience some one can have.is that what she has after 35 years, to make matters worse the Newzealand Prime minister responded to clinton lies by telling her that actualy she met former President Bill two weeks ago. What a shame CNN. show show some guts and report fairly had it been Obama who said this it would have been headlines already. SHAME ON YOU CNN

truth be told   April 24th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

let's see - she raised $10 million, she needs to pay herself the $5 million she lent her campaign, she needs to pay her creditors, what, $2+ million? that leaves her $3 million give or take to use for the may 6 primaries and beyond if she refuse to concede after that date. sounds like a campaign desperately gasping for air that may not be there for much too long.

Marc in DeKalb, IL   April 24th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Well, uhm, she's 10 million in the hole.

That 10 million now goes to debt.

Oh wait… paying our debts isn't important, right Hillary?

60 years old White Lady   April 24th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Raise how much money you can't you will still behind.. You won't get my vote.As longer you stay in this race more you divide and damage the party and American people. You are SELFISH HILLARY

Tell It Like It Is   April 24th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Put it on a credit card and wait to see if your interest rates sky rocket.
Be Aware… some unscrupulous credit card companies are penalizing their paying customers with higher rates to recoup losses on their default customers.
HILLARY VOTED TO ALLOW C.C. Companies to charge up to 30%.
WHY?

W PA   April 24th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Isn't she $10 million in debt? enough to pay her bills maybe…

Nanc, MN   April 24th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Hey, CNN - NYT already has the article about the Rev. Wright interview up. Skip Jenna Bush and catch up on the new stuff. Please?

Vanchav   April 24th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Why aren't there reports of Obama recieving 100,000 + new donors

Grif   April 24th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

The Million Dollar Woman.

Oregon has Hope and wants change   April 24th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

total lies……………….

prove it

Come on Huckabee Hillary

more fuzzy math, just like you won the popular vote Huh?????

If the cuacuses were broken down by popular votes Obama would be way ahead of you….

And you didn't win PA by double digits you won by 9%

stop the lies please

Give it up Huckabee Hillary

Jen-0-palooza   April 24th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

I'll be sending more money to Obama.
Hillary can't even run a campaign given to her on a silver platter, let alone the country!

Anthony-Minneapolis,MN   April 24th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

CNN make them prove it instead of accepting McAulliffe claim that they raised this money. I don't buy it at all.

Josh, LA   April 24th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Even $1 trillion contributions a day will not save her. Obama is the nominee. Being an ex Clinton supporter I'm sick and tired of her.

ART in TX   April 24th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Good for Hillary! I'm sending $100 now…to Barack Obama.

Alex in TX   April 24th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Save your money, there is a recession looming. No point flushing good hard cash down the toilet.

proud army and navy mom   April 24th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

so by my calculations, old girl has broken even at $0 dollars. she was 10 million dollars in debt. If she uses the new money to pay her outstanding debts, she will be broke, just like her chances of winning the nomination.

Barack the Vote in RI   April 24th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

……just a drop in the bucket. She still has to campaign in 10 remaining states and he still ended March with a $42M surplus to her measley $8M. What "influx"????

Tx4HILLARY   April 24th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

YES SHE WILL!

If Obama has verified one thing that GW Bush proved, money can buy the presidency.

And paying off superdelegates.. which he has donated more $$ to than any other candidate through PAC's.

Its unfortunate that Hillary is forced to raise this much money to compete. That $50 mil of Obama's could easily go to fighting the ills of this world.. yet we're helping to run TV ads?

Hillary is getting ANOTHER donation from this "typical, under-educated" single female entrepreneur!

Peter R   April 24th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

Pain-sylavnia thank you for continuing this joke!

Seth (FL)   April 24th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

Too little, too late. Obama has already won mathematically and fairly. Her delegate gain in PA? Wiped out by his delegate gain in NC. She might barely win in Indiana (maybe), and naturally, her campaign will spin that victory and say she has momentum. All she's doing is delaying the inevitable - the super delegates are not going to buck the popular vote and delegate lead just because she got a tiny bit more popular at the end of the fight due to her negative tactics. Voters WILL get behind whomever the Democratic nominee is, because we don't want another four years of terrible policy and decision-making.

Marie   April 24th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

Hillary Clinton et al should all just go away. Begging her supporter,many of whom can't afford the money to give to her "change the rules as she goes tactics.' It's so Clintonian but Iam sure Clinton News Network or as often called Corporate News Network (CNN). I just can't understand why she can't give herself the money afterall she earned at least $109m. Give the world a break.

Rick in Florida   April 24th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

McAuliffe says they have 80,000 new donors. Hillary's website says they have 100,000 new donors. Does ANYONE believe ANYTHING that comes out of her, or her campaign, ANYMORE ??? Once you get tagged as someone who will lie, distort, twist, and completely make-up stuff, CREDIBILITY is a casualty. NO ONE trusts her. GO AWAY !!

bdc   April 24th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

$10 million is impressive… that's good news. Hopefully she uses it to pay her $10,000,000+ campaign debt so all the small businesses aren't out what she owes them.

Bridgette   April 24th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

That has already been proven a lie. She has only raised 3.5 million. So now that just means she is 5.5 million in debt.

Cynthia   April 24th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

She needs it.

mitch from ark.   April 24th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

is she still in debt?why waste more money?she can't win.its a bad bet.

noemi in los angeles   April 24th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

Bunch of old folks and lobbyist contributing to her camp… maybe she's donating to her own camp again? Who believes her!!

BAKERSFIELD   April 24th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

HELP HER OUT EVERYBODY, GIVE ANYTHING $ 5.00

Taking My Vacation in Denver - In August!!!   April 24th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

Well., I guess her supporters can't do simple algebra either. Darned that No Child Left Behind Act…… They are hoping, scheming and fantasizing that Sen Obama will trip up or that some devistating thing happens. THAT IS WHAT SHE IS HEDGING ON.

Meanwhile, she is throwing mud and dirt every which way. Senator Obama doesn't need to engage in that mess with her. All that he needs to do is continue focusing on his message, and let the race run out. She is done.

IF, IF the DNC thinks that the Superdelegates can give the nomination to her if the numbers continue to trend in the way that they have, they are insane. There are Tour Bus trips being planned all over the country for DESTINATION DENVER already.

Lee WV   April 24th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

Probably coming from her own accounts.Who is stupid enough to invest in such a losing cause.Maybe James Carville

noemi in los angeles   April 24th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

OBAMA 08

jaci in oregon   April 24th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

no doubt half of that money for hillary comes from mccain supporters!!!!

and i have to comment on jenna bush here: i am so glad to see that there is actually a bush with a brain, integrity, and the ability to have their OWN thoughts. i've always felt so bad for those girls having him for a father.

mama4obama   April 24th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

I see another Peter Paul vs Clinton shaping up.

new donors….from what country Hillary?

What country are out jobs going to go to this time?

Tired of you pulling the rug out from under the American people.

Obama for President   April 24th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

Good….pay your $1 million debt!

if you can't manage a campaign how are you going to run a country?

jake   April 24th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

People sending donations for Hillary are just as stupid as she is ……………… Remeber Whtie water and travel gate and Vince foster and The Mcdougals that died in jail for her…….

Jeff - Dallas   April 24th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

Uh-huh. All that 10 ml did was buy out the debt that she had accumulated. It's as if she has zero dollars in her account at this point. Is this how she intends to run the Federal Government? Spend more than they take in? I think we have that now.
We need change. I'm a 50 year old college educated white Texan for Obama.

CaliPeach   April 24th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

Great so that means her donors helped her pay her $10 million debt. Now, she needs more donors to compete. Where are her lunch bucket workers???

For Obama   April 24th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

There you go again. Clinton is lying about her cash and we all know she is in serious dept. Obama will always double what she raises, and I just donated the third time in this moth to his campaign.

Obama 08!

Sam, Muncie, Ind.   April 24th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

I bet she has. Since she doesn't have to prove it, and we all know she's a habitual liar, I don't believe this for a second.

Johnny Boy   April 24th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

I find this funny, Obama has 6 times the amount of money she has. I expect this tide to last 2-3days and then back to the money trickle for the queen. Again, every month since Iowa, she can only muster about 10-20 million(all rich, lobby people, WAL-MART, PAC) what I mean here is that the queen's money does not come from the average american, unlike Obama who has the support of MOST americans. All of my 35 years of life I have watched people in washington promise this and promise that. and nothing ever changes. I AM READY TO THROW OFF SUCH GUARDS, all of them. To bad most americans are "fat and happy" to atleast try to change washington. Do you really feel that this goverement will help you in that time of need? No way, this govereremnt is about how to RULE OVER PEOPLE vice GOVERENING the people.

I think it is time people: It is our duty to THROW OF SUCH GUARDS!! This system is broke and outdated.

Veterans For Obama   April 24th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

You are fiscally irresponsible….

How many numbskulls are there that think you have a chance at this.

America save your money, we are in a recession.

Young & Educated for Obama   April 24th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

Lent herself $5 Million from her pocket of $109 million, $800,000.00 of which was from the Columbians and tons of other special interest groups and lobbyist!
Poor folks being tricked by Hillary into thinkin she has a chance to win!
This the kind of Trickery and Politics we DONT need in the White House!
Stop the Drama VOTE OBAMA!!!!!
Yes We Can!!

jason   April 24th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

wonderful!

now, if she would only work on the fact that she's a conservative, I wouldn't vote nader, should she steal the nomination.

Send her more money, girls! She's got to bribe the superdelegates with something!

Obama is a GODSEND   April 24th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

Obama will still raise more, plus he has much more in reserves already.

He has already started his TV campaign in NC, Oregan and Indiana.

He knows how to manage $$$$$$$$$$$$$

Sam, Muncie, Ind.   April 24th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

She raised only $20M in all of March and we're supposed to believe she raised half that in 24 hours?! Seriously?!

WHAT A LIAR.

Nikki   April 24th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

49 more delegates (all from John Edward's campaign) were picked up by Obama yesterday…WHY AREN'T YOU REPORTING THIS CNN??????????

John Smith   April 24th, 2008 2:02 pm ET

As someone in statistics and probability, and an active supporter of Hillary, I have come to conclude that Hillary simply cannot get this nomination. Her chances decrease after each major vote, including PA. Therefore, I can no longer waste my vote or money on Hillary. I care more about the party than the individual. To vote for Hillary is to vote for a major "split" in the democractic party. My conscience will not allow me do so!!!

Overall, I also concluded that "folks" in small towns and states are "smarter and more educated" than folks in the BIG states!! Hillary is from NY–

NY, PA, FL, CA etc. (except TX), continue to amaze us! Just look at the "wisdom" of the smaller states– Indianna, NC, Iowa etc.– . Left to them, this madness would have been over with before now!!

Ken   April 24th, 2008 2:03 pm ET

Here is a candidate that can not only beat Obama, but who can also beat McCain.

Obama, with all of his "blind" followers, and out spending Hillary by a 3 to 1 margin, still CANNOT beat her. What does that tell everyone, that she is the one person that has the talent, skills, knowledge and experience to become our next President.

More and more people are seeing Obama for what he is, the "Pied Piper" leading so many "blind" people, that CANNOT take out Hillary Clinton!

More and more new donors will come to the aid of Hillary, to make sure that she is the nominee of the Democrat party, and that she will go on to beat McCain in November!

Thanks go out to all of the people that believe in Hillary Clinton, and want her to win this fight!

Tom Swift, Shopton USA   April 24th, 2008 2:03 pm ET

'

Go, Hillary, GO !! All this new cash should help you take your campaign all the way to the convention floor. We are counting on you… don't let us down!

McCain '08

Kevin Leo (Jonesboro, GA)   April 24th, 2008 2:03 pm ET

Stop being a deadbeat and pay your bills!!! For all of Hillary's voiced concerns about blue collar workers and small businesses, the longer she continues to not pay hr vendors, the worse it gets for them and their staff.

Pay attention to what Hillary does as much as what she says!!!

End is coming   April 24th, 2008 2:04 pm ET

Too late,
Obama needs less than 300 delegates to secure the nomination now.
Hard luck
You can try again in 2016. Obama will help you then as he did in your senate election. However, I will never do…

Proud to be a Clinton Democrat   April 24th, 2008 2:04 pm ET

The Obamabots need to stop hating on Hillary. That why I will vote for mccain before I vote for that loser.

I love the Clinton's

Educated Voter = Not Hillary   April 24th, 2008 2:04 pm ET

In step with the rest of her campaign, this is a lie. $125 each on average for "new-time donors"? Hillarious Clinton has done it again, ladies and gentleman…it's hard to believe anything that comes out of her mouth these days–she could "misspeak" at any moment.

Ready for Change   April 24th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

I just maxed out and got two other people to max out online too!!!! Hillary has the most votes and the best chance to win in November.

Hillary 08 !!!!!!

Michael Templer   April 24th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

Obama good or bad = ratings for CNN

if your ready on day one

how do you mismanage 180mm and be 9mm in debt

most of the money was spent on or before Iowa.

Who has managed their campaign better?

and how can anyone verify that she raised 10mm

vendors get your cash upfront

Billy   April 24th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

It's OK I guess for thousands of people to contribute $5-10-20-50

to Obama, and most of those people are on food stamps and welfare,

so therefore I guess the Hillary supporters are basically paying

for Obama with our tax dollars.

I'm sure CNN will Never post this one.

no bandwagon   April 24th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

Hillary is the best.

I hope it is not too late to undo the damage done by the DNC and the democratic party to their own best candidate.

Obama was raised up like a God and Hillary was throttled.

Still the people did not buy the hype.

We will vote for the VERY best one possible. That was and is Hillary Clinton.

Should have played fair.

Jodie a white gal from Idaho   April 24th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

Its all those white voters who will do anything to keep from having a black president.

Gallup Daily: Democratic Gap Narrows, Obama Stays Ahead NEW April 24, 2008
Gallup Poll Daily tracking shows a narrowing of the gap in Democratic nomination preferences between Barack Obama (49%) and Hillary Clinton (44%), with Obama maintaining an advantage in the first results to include some post-Pennsylvania primary interviewing. DO THE MATH ALL OVER FOR CLINTON

CL   April 24th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

Before you Obamabots go off the deep end and say she's a liar and a cheat and all the other garbage you spew, just remember that nobody's perfect including Barack Obama, that everybody makes mistakes, that Barack Obama doesn't like being criticized on the issues. Every time his policies are justly criticized he ridicules his opponent by claiming it's unfair, racism, silly season, or that someone is lying. He can't handle Hillary much less the Republicans. This dog won't hunt. He'll make a good VP.

As for Hillary's record, honesty, trustworthiness. What part of $70 million don't you understand?

Tricia   April 24th, 2008 2:06 pm ET

The blue collar workers of PA must be better off than we thought. Or is this another con? I hope it doesn't mean the Clinton's will owe more favors if they regain the White House.

Robert in Albuquerque   April 24th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

the bitterness of these boards is OFF THE CHARTS. You all are sad

thugs   April 24th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

Obama and his thugs should have played fair.

No one likes fixed elections.

Democrats don't like it when you disenfranchise fellow democratic voters.

Democrats do not expect the DNC and the democratic party elites to swiftboat one of their own. Their best candidate ever.

Democrats want equality and justice.

Power to Hillary.

Ready for Change   April 24th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

You said it Charlotte !!!!!!!

Clinton is a liar...   April 24th, 2008 2:08 pm ET

I don't believe anything coming from Clinton, she's a certified pathological liar….however, her debtors owed about $9 Million dollar should line up to collect their money already….

In the meantime, I checked Obama's fund-raising…1,441,960 individual donors..WOW..that guy blows me away and I am so impressed..I would send another donation…maybe a recurring donation..

Meanwhile another superdelegate endorsed Obama…this guys is the future of America but some unprogressive Americans cannot see this…

Adam FL   April 24th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

I contributed!!! Lets go Hillary!

Debbie   April 24th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

Yes, she has an influx of cash - now she needs to pay those small business owners she owes. It is ashame for a presidential candidate to take advantage of the small business owner like she has. Shame on Hillary!

California Girl   April 24th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

Donations are skyrocketing for Hillary because she has a Plan with Solutions for our country. Hillary has the experience for our country and change that we desperately need. Hillary is not going backwards with the Old Guard as Obama. Hillary is going forward and beyond. That what you call CHANGE!

Hillary, the fighter, the best person for the most difficult job in the United States.

v.ananthan   April 24th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

Obama avoids debates…

He can deliver good speeches…

The advantage is that he can bring leaders from Iran, Syria and other countries and give them a lecture…

LOTS OF TIME WILL BE SAVED….

THIS IS THE CHANGE OBAMA IS TALKING ABOUT…

Annamica, OH   April 24th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

Congratulations are in order Sen. Clinton!!!! Way to go :) Don't forget at least half of democratic America is behind you. We will take back the WH from the gop this fall!

voting block   April 24th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

African Americans (12% of the population) are voting as a block for Obama based on race, not the issues.

What if women (52% of the population) united and voted for Hillary as a block based on gender, not the issues.

Wouldn't that be grand?

Patrick from CA   April 24th, 2008 2:11 pm ET

OMG!!!

What is this article doing here. Hurry do an "article post recall" or something.

I did not know you post positive news about Hillary!

Oh I know… you are posting news that she is getting a lot of money but you followed it up with but Obama has outraised her by tens of millions of dollars.

I get it!

You people are unbelievable… Not fair CNN!

I would like to make a suggestion… Please post the authors of your articles and provide us with information if the author is pro Obama or Pro Clinton. This way, we have a choice with reading it or not.

Obama Nuts   April 24th, 2008 2:11 pm ET

Check out how much Obama owes and when is he going to pay his BILLS?????????? Oh thats right the golden boy can't do wrong in all your eye's! He's a nut case just like the rest of Washington.

I bet she will get even more money from the defense industry since she has declared her desire to obliterate Iran.

POWER TO THE PEACEFUL!

Roger   April 24th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Obama supporters are bitter and cling to their computers to post negative posts on blogs about Hillary.

fred   April 24th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Go Hillary, I gave and will give again!!

we wanh hillary, not mccain...screw him.   April 24th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Since Hillary is $10 million in debt, she "miraculously" found $10 million "since Pennsylvania". Ten million minus ten million equals zero. If she's responsible, she'd pay off her debt. If she's irresponsible, she'd continue to ignore her creditors. Either way, she doesn't have what it takes to handle her business. She should step down.

Proud to be a Clinton Democrat   April 24th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

WHY? PLEASE STOP HATING ON HILLARY! YOU OBAMABOTS NEED TO SEE A MENTAL DOCTOR.

Nobama

GO Hillary!

CW in DC   April 24th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

I wouldn't trust Hillary Clinton with holding a cup for a blind man but then again, she has the cup and I guess that makes her supporters blind.

fred   April 24th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Tamika, CNN has pushed Obama down are throats for the last 6 months. It is time for Hillary now!!!

GO HILLARY!!

You are 100% correct California Girl!!!!!

Democrat, NC   April 24th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Thanks for reporting; this motivated me to make a donation to the Obama campaign.

Obama '08

vjh   April 24th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Sorry, I don't believe the claim.

give   April 24th, 2008 2:16 pm ET

Give as much as you can.

The country and your future is at stake.

Hillary will work for ALL Americans.

Obama divided us by race, gender, age, income and education.

American   April 24th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

I gave her 200. My IRS check is coming, that will go for Hillary
Hillary for President.

Decarla   April 24th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

I was of the impression that money doesn't help to win. So why does she need money?

RT   April 24th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

So essentially donating to the Clinton campaign equates to us, the American people, paying off millions of dollars of campaing debt for a person who is already a multi-millionaire. Why are we so stupid?

NYC Native   April 24th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

I'm sending another donation to Obama today.

Foreign observer   April 24th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

Obviously there are people in having too much money and willing to throw it out of the window. Being able to count they should know that it´s a wasted effort.

Obama is a GODSEND   April 24th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

Give, Listen to what your saying. I think the divider is clearly Hillary, she is tearing us apart w/ no hope to win this nominee…She just wants a chance at 2012 after she neuters Obama and he loses to Grandpa Munster.

god bless Hill   April 24th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

It is in God's hands now.

The bandwagon boosted Obama and the media bias elevated him to rock star status. I hope it is not too late.

We want the best president, not the most popular American Idol winner.

Marshall   April 24th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

Please just give a ticket home. That is what she really needs.

Goutten   April 24th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

The influx of cash is from The Republican party. Can't you see that the republicans are pusing her to win. Just last night Keith Oberman stated the the head of the RNC wrote a 30 page letter in support on Billary.

Yes we can!   April 24th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

Excuse me Obama Nuts, his bills were recorded and his outstanding debt is about $650,000 and he still has over $40 million left and still getting donations….It's very weird how people will defend the clintons when people are stating they have not gotten paid from being vendors from super tuesday…..if you can't manage your campaign funds, then how are you going to manage the economy…..

Garner   April 24th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

While it's possible that her campaign raised that amount, I will believe it when the FEC reports come out in late May. Her campaign does have a history of exaggerating.

Status QuO.   April 24th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Forget the haters Hillary! Keep it coming people!!!!!

GO HILLARY!
GO DEMOCRATS!

Denis   April 24th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Great!!!! moving forward to the next Primary.

Jaime   April 24th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Google "Kathy Callahan clinton campaign" and find out how Hillary is getting her so called donations. She's stealing it from the people who have previously donated!

Daniel   April 24th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

It was about time to help her to be well prepaired for this battle. She has done well with much less resource that Obama… now, having enogth cash we will all see her good victories.

Hamas   April 24th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

Thank you Jimmy Carter for paving the way for president Obama to negotiate with Hamas.

Where is that story?

Go Obama

JIm   April 24th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

I just went to hillary clinton.com and donated $50.00

drz   April 24th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Hopefully she can pay for more fear mongering ads like the one she showed the night before PA election featuring video of Osama bin Laden. Keep up the Rove tactics, Hillary!

screwed   April 24th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

She would be our nominee now if the party and the DNC and the media had not adored Obama and pandered to him- while screwing Hillary Clinton every which way.

Americans do not like it when you don't play fair, but are willing to win by cheating. No to Obama and his thugs.

She Can't Hide Her Lying Eyes   April 24th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

She'll need it to keep her lies going.

Mike, Indianapolis IN   April 24th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

Isn't it funny that Hillary asks her donors to "give" to her campaign……but yet she's only willing to lend to it??

Oh, that's right. They are un-educated Hillbilly racists.

Zagazaw   April 24th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

Well, what do you know? she has to be using Obama strategy to raise money, what does this tell you about the ecoonmy when Obama become President…. they all are now use His Financial frame work.

OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Steve from California   April 24th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

Political campaign finances must be limited. This is the only way we can keep special interest groups out of politics. Allowing any candidate to spend their way into office is not in the best interests of the country.

david   April 24th, 2008 2:25 pm ET

When this becomes a contest about who can beg the most. I thought money was not important in all of this.

Obama TO WORLD!

Dan from Savannah Ga   April 24th, 2008 2:26 pm ET

I say lets get Hillary to run as an independent and then we will see if Obama can win without the core democratic constituency.

Brother Can You Spare A Dime   April 24th, 2008 2:26 pm ET

Yeah Jim, I'm sure Miss 109 Million Dollar Baby could use your 50. She "loaned" her campaign 5 million and you give away your money, smart.

Jaime   April 24th, 2008 2:27 pm ET

I wonder if she took it from Kathy Callahan's credit card?!?!?!

Oh Brother   April 24th, 2008 2:28 pm ET

LOL, Jim I'm sure your $50. will wind its way straight to Bubba's pockets, then he'll have 110 million.

Ha ha ha ha

PA Red   April 24th, 2008 2:29 pm ET

I've been a redneck all my life. Ya'll I must say, Obama that 50/50 guy got my vote. I am sorry I could done more for him.

Hillary, maybe white but she sold us out to many time to say.

Come back to the Hills Hillary I give you what Bill boy can't.

elm   April 24th, 2008 2:30 pm ET

HRC is not out of money. That is her way of fooling people for donation. That is her pitty song she singing and voters are falling for it.

Texan for What's Right   April 24th, 2008 2:30 pm ET

During this entire campaign and even through their political careers, there is not one thing you could accuse the Clintons of that is not true. Not one thing you could think of or haven't even yet considered.

As Hillary would say to the people of the South "To Hell With Them Bill". Well "To He _ _ with the Clintons!

raw throat   April 24th, 2008 2:30 pm ET

Americans have a sore throat from spitting Obama out.

Boy the DNC and the party elites and the media are relentless in pushing this guy on us.

We want fair play, equality and justice for ALL Americans.

We support Hillary Clinton.

She has held up with the deck stacked against her.

Tom   April 24th, 2008 2:31 pm ET

Hold on… Does the 10 Mil = Clinton math (i.e. Since she is might not be planning to pay back the 9 mil she owes.. is she counting that as donation)..

liar liar, pants on fire   April 24th, 2008 2:31 pm ET

Hillary has stooped to asking supporters for as little as $5. She'll do "whatever it takes". What a shame. What a lack of character and self respect.

Obama's minimum is $25, not $5. Also, her maximum is over $2300, Obama's is not.

Tom   April 24th, 2008 2:32 pm ET

Hold on… Does the 10 Mil = Clinton math (i.e. Since she might not be planning to pay back the 9 mil she owes.. is she counting that as donation)..

Noah   April 24th, 2008 2:32 pm ET

I am so tired of Obama supporters. You do not practice what you preach. You take any chance to tear down Hillary. This is sad. Do any of you go back and read your Obama post and realize that Obama stands for hope and change, not hate and lies. If your his representative, he would do better without you. None of you know what goes on with the Clinton campaign, you can only speculate on on-line rumors. Its great that Hillary's supporters are backing her. Look at the math, she has just as many as Obama.

Also, wanted to post about the double digit win issue also, but it was closed. Why now is the media being so precise on this number. Would this be an issue if they were not looking for something to cause a stir. Its so small, its not even worth reporting. Fact is she won, she is a fighter, and she very well could be our nominee.

So please Obama supporters, and some Clinton supporters also. Stop the hate. Obama supporters especially. Your comments over the past months are out of line, have little to do with real issues and you need to think before you type.

Harvey in Va   April 24th, 2008 2:32 pm ET

This is great news and I am glad to have been a part of it.

Letsgetreal   April 24th, 2008 2:32 pm ET

The $10 million is just enough to pay her debt. There is one thing the Obama's camp managed to do right was to forced Sen. Hillary to spend the money she didn't have in the first place. She has the $10 million now, she has to worry about the money to campaign in Indy and N.C.

White/female/age 55/Texan   April 24th, 2008 2:33 pm ET

Oh my Charlotte ~
It sounds like you are voting for her just because she is a woman and by god it's time to have a woman president. She is not the right woman! The right one will come, please don't vote for her just because she is a woman.

Texan for What's Right   April 24th, 2008 2:33 pm ET

As Hillary said about the voters in the South "To Hell With Them Bill"…well to He _ _ with the Clintons!

There is not one thing you can accuse them of they have not done. Not one thing you could possibly think of that is low enough or anything we haven't even yet considered that is already in play.

You fools send your money. She will blow it like she did the rest of her funds and still owe small businesses and health insurance on her staffers.

rigged for Obama   April 24th, 2008 2:33 pm ET

We love Hillary-
Our champion.
Vote Hill now or write her in in Nov.

Teach the DNC and the party elites that we do not care for bandwagon politics. We care about the issues- not rock star appeal.

Down to election fixing.

No rigged primary will sustain.

W PA   April 24th, 2008 2:33 pm ET

Has she denounced the Republican add running in NC yet to support her Democratic rival???McCain did, not that it did anything to stop it, he has no clout in his own party. But Hillary would have been shouting Barack to denounce and reject. Shows you she is only thinking about her egotistical self while ruining the Democratic Party…

Brendan D, Niles, IL   April 24th, 2008 2:33 pm ET

I'm going to ask Hillary Clinton supporters again: Why do you support her instead of Barack Obama? I have not yet gotten any answers as to why she's BETTER than him — only why he's WORSE. Criticizing Obama is not a way to play up Clinton's strengths.

Oh, and the "more experience" argument is not legitimate, as John McCain was first elected to federal office in 1982 and Clinton was first elected in 2000.

So tell me, Clinton supporters: What is the great reason we should flock to Mrs. Clinton?

California Girl   April 24th, 2008 2:34 pm ET

Fred: Thank you!

Hillary all the WAY!

Marshall in Nebraska   April 24th, 2008 2:34 pm ET

It is sad that we (the US) spend more money just picking our candidates than some small 3rd annual GNP.

What statement are we sending to the world?

I am pretty sure this won't be posted.

And how did she raise this money so quickly, something is fishy!

Tit for tat , silly season in America ,,,, You guys are straight wilding out,

IDIOTS,,, VOTE for OBAMA OR MCCAIN and WAKE THE HELL UP, your future is at stake.

Hillary-ious   April 24th, 2008 2:36 pm ET

Here's a bit of truth for those who are saying that "Obama is disenfranchising FL and MI voters".

Obama is not disenfranchising anyone. Both of those states' legistlatures voted to not redo their primaries. Obama had nothing to do with that. I'm sure people would love to make him a scapegoat for their frustrations, especially since he is the man who is going to beat Hillary Clinton for this nomination, but get your facts straight.

None of you can produce one bit of factual evidence that places the blame for FL and MI not revoting on Obama.

Pat   April 24th, 2008 2:36 pm ET

Does Hillary really thinks she will get over 70% of the remaining votes or convince more than half of the super delegates to over turn the vote of the people. It is so unlikely that either of these things will happen it is really unkind to be giving her supporter false hope and asking them for money.

owl   April 24th, 2008 2:36 pm ET

JAX, Florida   April 24th, 2008 2:37 pm ET

Clinton supporters don' understand they are only helping her pay her bills. She is in debt and she needs to raise money to pay her creditors and her office crews.
It's not money that is going to be used to secure the nomination.

Jay   April 24th, 2008 2:38 pm ET

Billary begging for cash. I can't take any more of this. Please quit.

Reid   April 24th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

This is what is called good money following bad. Typical female behavior, similar to a spoiled child having a temper tantrum and refusing to face reality. Clinton supporters who claim that they will not vote for Obama or vote for McCain in November obviously use the same thoug ht process. Keep spending AND asking for money even though you have already lost and then yell that you are going to "take your vote and run home" if they don't get their way. How ironic that when Roe v. Wade is flushed down the toilet by a 6-3 or 7-2 extremely conservative Supreme Court these fools will be to blame.

Repentant   April 24th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

I gave her so she can pay up the debts and peacefully exit the race without being in the red. But if she makes the mistake of acquiring more debts in a goose chase (Of course she cant win), she will have herself to blame; though not as if it matters much cause, just like Romney, she is sitting on hundreds of $million.

Eddie G   April 24th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

Charlotte…get a clue. This is not about gender. It certainly would be a great time for the first woman or african american to be the president. But Hillary is none of what you described. She is a liar and a cheat that will stop at nothing to be that first woman president. She wants to twist and bend and change the rules. The women over 60 didn't teach that and I hope they don't condone that….so please, if it were a great woman, I would be first in line to vote. Clinton is not, so wait for the right one to come along.

jj   April 24th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

Nasty nasty people, you talk about the money Clinton owes and wastes. Obama spent 3 or 4 times as much and still didn't gain any ground, if people knew in Feb what they know now, he wouldn't have the votes he has. He has the black vote and his supporters have divided the democrates and even more so the country with everything about race pushed down everyones throats. People don't vote for him because they don't trust him. there's a difference between exaggerating something and a continuous belief in racism. Obama and his wife have listened to Wright for 20 years and they are raising their daughters to be racists too. Obama supporters have divided this country and party more than anyone could imagine. They are the racists, they say if you don't vote for him you're a racist. Bull they just don't trust him because too little is known about him except his speeches and his MENTOR. we need to get past this or he will never stand a chance, even once he does get more experience.

Rick   April 24th, 2008 2:40 pm ET

To Steve from California. Yes, campaign finances (contributions) should be limited. The answer is simple. Limit contributions to only those holding a valid Social Security number. No special interests, no PAC, no Unions, no Corporations, etc. US citizens only.

But here's another $10 million going down the toilet that won't be available for the general election.

Leslie4Hillary   April 24th, 2008 2:40 pm ET

I'm sorry to burst your bubble Obama supporters, I too, like the rest of you was an Obama supporter; I've contributed to his campaign. I was a precint captain for his caucus. The statement of Obama in that PRIVATE FUNDRAISING in San Francisco, made me turned sour against him. He used me as a tool to fulfill his grand ambition. I've overlook the fact he doesn't have any track record or experience to backup his words. I had high hopes on what he said, but it never dawn on me in private he called me a bigot, looking down on me.

I've made amends for the most grieveous mistake that I've committed, I was one of the first time donors to Hillary Clinton campaign after the media announced she was the projected winner. I did not donate just once or twice, but 5 times and I will continue to donate more to her campaign. One thing I cannot stand and leaves a bitter taste in my mouth when a politician with ZERO credentials but wanted us to put faith in his words is to look down on me.

joyce   April 24th, 2008 2:40 pm ET

hillary has plenty of her on and her campaighn is lost. when she breaks you, she will still be rich and you will be straving and she could care less about you. i know the clintons, see i am white = 65- and i live in arkansas and we don't want them back her. our state was corrupted enought by them already

ObamaFan   April 24th, 2008 2:40 pm ET

Between Sideshow Bill and Hillary Jr., criss-crossing the country, and HRC's "momentum" BS, and weasel Terry McAuliffe's "new math", I HAVE HAD ENOUGH. I'm from PA, and I apologize we couldn't have ended this madness on Tuesday. To say that Obama can't carry the big states is riduculous. In the last 4 elections, the Dems have carried all the big states that Her Highness only thinks she can. Why are none of the media reporting that Obama was behind in PA by 20 POINTS six weeks ago, and winnowed down to 9? Why is HRC bemoaning the fact that the votes in Michigan should now count, when she, and the other potential nominees agreed that they wouldn't? Because she needs the votes in a contest she's LOSING!!! Enough of her and Bill, and their perceived notion that the they are ENTITLED to the Presidency.

Bobby   April 24th, 2008 2:43 pm ET

He got thrashed in OH and PA because hard-nosed Blue-Collar voters can’t be won over with simple minded clichés and lofty speeches. His cronies made sure that MI and FL were not counted. Does anyone see those Democrats voting for him in the GE?

90% of African-Americans are Democrats. Therefore, in States where they are only 15-20% of the population, they suddenly become 30-40% of Democratic Primary Voters and won him S Carolina, Georgia, Miss., etc. They will again become 15-20% of General Election voters, and these States will remain Repub.

He's won small White States with large no. of College Students, like Wisconsin and IA. Again, 12% of the pop. translates into a quarter of Primary voters, and will have little effect in the GE.

He's done extremely well in Caucuses, which won't exist in the Fall, although I think he'd take IA.

The MA, CT, RI and NY Primaries are unimportant, since those States are going to remain with Democrats and TX will similarly remain Repub.

Therefore, Barrack in not elect able in the GE.

QED

Steve   April 24th, 2008 2:43 pm ET

Hillary's biggest misstep to this point is her failure to state the obvious - Obama is neither prepared nor qualified to be president.

It may be against ettiquite to attack an opponent from your party that way, but it's honestly what's best for the country.

I could use 10 million   April 24th, 2008 2:43 pm ET

To the very smart people who donated money to a campaign that is statistically over…………I have a new cause I would like for you all to contribute to…………my college tuition bills!!! It is a far better cause considering I will actually get my degree. You gave 10 million to a second place contestant!!!! And all she is doing is making sure the person who will be the democratic nominee less appealing even if by some stroke of luck it is her. We are going to be stuck with a crappy republican in office again. Gas will be $5 a gallon and I still will have to work two jobs to graduate from college and keep a roof over my head. So to the people who keep ebbing her on…………..thanks for nothing!!!

DoneWithDems   April 24th, 2008 2:43 pm ET

This is great news. Keep them cards and letters coming!! Operators standing by……

LH, TX   April 24th, 2008 2:45 pm ET

Obama do not debate with Hillary because the media will keep playing the games she likes to play and not discusss the issues. Keep having townhall meetings so the people will get to know who you really are because in Hillary's townhall meetings people will find out how dishonest she is and that she blows whichever way the wind blows. They are not fooling us with these debates and Hillary is not fooling us with her propaganda. God Bless Obama. OBAMA '08

Sam   April 24th, 2008 2:45 pm ET

I wanted to donate her. But there wasn't any option of dontaing 2 cents.

wolfsbane   April 24th, 2008 2:45 pm ET

Deck stacked against her? Are you serious? She's a former first lady to a two term President, has name recognition, support of the establishment, her husband is a money making spigot with speaking fees, her huge cash advantage at the start…..why isn't she the frontrunner, with such a starting deck in her favor.

Clinton supporters should be asking what happened, how did she fall behind and in debt, and what does this say about her leadership ability?

I call it racist   April 24th, 2008 2:46 pm ET

More people in America have voted for Hillary than they have Obama. Let's look at that math too! If we are a democracy then that is how our president is elected. I don't know what kind of rules our party leaders have made but this is simple. Hillary is ahead in people , American people's votes.

Avoid these Hillary haters. They have no respect fo our country . They only know how to cry "racist" when 92 percent of the African Americans in Penn. voted for Obama. Who are the racist? Americans are not stupid.not all of them anyway.

Venus   April 24th, 2008 2:46 pm ET

This is too funny! Hillary is BROKE!

This race is over!

It's time for the news-media to do what they do and tell the world this race is over and have been since Feb/08 when Obama won 10-states to Hillary's zero!

Not only is Hillary broke but she must pay back every dime so - it's a good thing her and Bill made $109-million dollars.

I am glad to see this race over with and if I never see Hill and Bill will it be too soon! What a hell-of-a-way to let a rookie beat them! Here's what's really funny ———- Obama used the same games that Bill Clinton did when he ran for president!

alice   April 24th, 2008 2:47 pm ET

people are learning democracy is not free,and running for office is not cheap.Too many just want to complain,or be negative,about America,the people running,the news media,you can read more than one paper or listen to more than one station,that way you get all opinions and decide for yourself. I'm glad Clinton is getting Donations,

Dan (TX)   April 24th, 2008 2:47 pm ET

Now Hillary finally realizes that it is the little donors that will make a difference in her struggling campaign. That's what happens when all of the large special interest donors have given their limit.
Wow, Hillary's campaign leadership is utterly amazing! Nothing like pleading for people to visit your website and contribute during your PA "victory" speech. How tacky!
May as well be one of those less-than-truthful "infomercials" - she's well suited to bending the truth to fit her brazen desires. :)

POOR OBAMA , with his 200 million dollar spending and supposedly millions of supporters (who apparently have nothing better to do other than post nasty comments about Hillary). Mr Obama is UNABLE to close the deal. WHY. WHY CANT he just defeat Hillary for good when he outspends her 3 to 1.

ACCEPT IT obama supporters. There is something seriously missing in your canditate and no amount of money you contribute can buy him that. Also, the "young, educated" obama supporters should probably get a constructive day time activity (like a job maybe!!) instead of spewing hatred against Hillary all day long.

WHO NEEDS a quitter like Obama with his glorious speeches of hope and nothing to show for them. I would not even a hire an office clerk without experience, let alone the most powerful job in the world. So he expects training from day one??!!! We need a leader from day one. A fighter from day one. Not a Rock Star pushed into white house by infatuated young poeple, with no experience like their candidate.

How amazing that she is still fooling some of the people all of the time. Do they ever get smart?

I love watching whiny Obama drones panic. Indiana and North Carolina are going to be fun because he's not even going to be more than a blip in West Virginia and Kentucky following. Puerto Rico should be enjoyable to anyone not following their messianic figure.

For all the women...   April 24th, 2008 2:51 pm ET

TO Charlotte:

Your words touched me. I believe when it comes down to it, everything is about sexism. The very thing that Hillary fights for the most, Human Rights, including Womens Rights, is what is holding her down. All you women that are afraid or jealous of seeing a woman in the White House should go back to when times were really hard and see how much women have progressed throughout the years. Then maybe you would understand. Obama is NOT the right candidate. Maybe he can be in 8 years. Hillary is the right candidate, this is her time and her moment.

Discovery in Paul vs. Clinton civil fraud suit to begin in Spring

As Hillary Clinton’s belief in the inevitability of her 2008 ascension to the Oval Office is being shattered by the voters, the landmark civil fraud suit against Bill Clinton, with Hillary as a material witness, is proceeding to discovery and trial in California this Spring.

Citizens are emboldened by the popular rejection of Hillary’s bid to be the first woman president to support the five year civil fraud suit against her and Bill. The mountain of evidence that has been presented in the pretrial pleadings for defrauding the dot com millionaire Bill convinced to become Hillary’s largest (and secret) donor to Hillary’s Senate campaign.

The collusion of the media, the Department of Justice and the Federal Election Commission in protecting Hillary and Bill Clinton from any accountability whatsoever for felony violations of the Federal Election Law (illegally soliciting and coordinating more than $1.2 million to Hillary’s 2000 Senate campaign) and of the Obstruction of Justice laws, including Title 18 Sec 1001, making false statements to government agencies, provides a public record of a cover up by the media and the government that is greater than Watergate in its scope.

Some of the comments from the radical Obama supporters are beneath contempt. Where were you people born–under a rock? Last I heard, this was a free country and we all get to vote for our best idea of a candidate. You kids must not have parents or grandparents-the way you talk–or they disowned you long ago. And to think great Americans have fought and died so you could have free speech!

At caucus Obama sometimes won by a percentage of one delegate- i.e 1/2 delegate = 1.

Fuzzy caucus math.

$5M dollar LOAN, that's laughable. The audacity she has to loan her campaign money "as an investment". As if $109M wasn't enough.

rigged for Obama   April 24th, 2008 2:53 pm ET

The caucus format was so flawed and undemocratic that Obama gained more delegates for a 109 margin than Clinton did with a 100,000 margin of votes

What a waste of money. Let the corporations and criminals pay for her campaign.

I have contributed to Hillary Clinton and now am finding others to contribute. Contrary to the opinions of the Obama supporters on this blog, I am not a bigot or a hillbilly or an idiot or an uneducated unchangeable idiot. I am supporting the most qualified candidate. I have studied their plans and listened to many speeches. I have concluded that Hillary Clinton is the best choice.

What I find interesting as I read the comments above is how little the Obama supporters say in support of their candidate. They do not support Obama or they would point to some particular position that he has taken which makes him the best choice.

Hillary Clinton has the best plan to achieve universal health care. She has specific plans to provide for investment into alternate energy which not only leads us in the direction of energy independence but also will provide thousands of new jobs which cannot be exported. She specifically has outlined her plans to invest in medical research and provide additional funding for the National Institue of Health. She also will seriously revamp our early education program and eliminate No Child Left Behind.

I know all of these things because I have read her website and have listened to her speak before large rallys and small forums. She has a better grasp of the issues which are most critical to this country. She speaks with specifics and with conviction. Her ideas are original and well reasoned.

I appreciate Sen. Obama and if he is the nominee, I will vote for him in spite of his supporters disdain for me and my candidate. What I do not understand is how do you expect to win in November if you alienate everyone in May? I know my candidate and I respect her and hope she will continue to fight for every vote. The Clinton supporters tell her daily to continue her campaign. Do you really think that you hatefilled Obamanites can convince her to drop out?

GO HILLARY

Edgar - Orlando, Florida   April 24th, 2008 2:54 pm ET

Obama supporters what are you afraid of the process continuing is it because as this process prolong everyone will get off the Obama kool aid and see that he is too new to be President.

His messeage is right on point and we do need a new direction but if that is the case then why did all of you leave Edwards hanging in 2004 and 2008. Edwards messeage also had a movement yet you Obama suporters picked Kerry and look what happen.

Look real good at Obama and you will see that his time is not now its Hillary time and with that being said I am contributing another $5 dollars to Hillary.

John in Iowa   April 24th, 2008 2:54 pm ET

This is because Americans are starting to see the real Obama.

Hillary or McCain '08! NEVER OBAMA!!!!

Jim, Indiana   April 24th, 2008 2:55 pm ET

Way to go Hillary! We will carry you to victory!

You can win all the key states all the big delegate states and you are wining are hearts!

You have proven that only you can beat McCain in November and Obama can't.
