Clinton loans herself $6.4 million

WASHINGTON (CNN) - Democrat Hillary Clinton has loaned her presidential race $6.4 million over the last month, bringing the total amount of money she has lent herself to $11.4 million.

And she is willing to lend herself more money, top adviser Howard Wolfson told reporters Wednesday, a day after Clinton eked out a narrow victory over Sen. Barack Obama in Indiana's Democratic primary but lost to him by a landslide in North Carolina.

The $11.4 million she has lent her campaign this year is about the same as the amount she earned from book sales and her Senate salary, Wolfson said.

On a conference call with reporters, Wolfson said the loan proves Clinton is committed to staying in the presidential race.

"The loans are a sign of her commitment to continuing the race, her commitment to continuing the process and her commitment to staying competitive with Senator Obama on television and other areas," he said.

"The campaign continues to raise a lot of money, but Senator Obama, to his credit, is also raising a lot of money."

Clinton loaned herself $5 million on April 11, $1 million on May 1 and $425,000 since then, the campaign said Wednesday. The senator from New York loaned her campaign $5 million in February.

Clinton began the month of April with close to $32 million in cash on hand, but only $9 million of that total could be spent during the primary season, according to the most recent campaign reports filed with the Federal Election Commission.

The report also showed that Clinton owed more than $10 million, meaning she was in the red even before she heavily stepped up television advertising ahead of the Pennsylvania primary in late April.

The day after her convincing Pennsylvania win on April 22, the Clinton campaign said it raised $10 million on the Internet. The campaign has not said how much it has raised since her close win in Indiana and her North Carolina loss Tuesday.

    Ouch. Might as well just throw the money away.

    Clinton –
    Please bow out gracefully. I believe she is staying in this campaign to pay off her debt. earlier this year she loaned campaign 5 million. Now this, just end this and start uniting the party.

    Boy, I wish I had that kind of money. What happened to all that money she got after PA? Was that another mis-speak? Stop the blood letting and drop out. Help to heal not tear apart.

    So, did she raise the ten million she said she did after the Pennsylvania primary? She had debt to pay off. It's time the DNC steps in and says enough is enough.

    CNN your reporting is so below par. Is this $6.4 million in addition to the $5 million she lent her campaign in feb???

    May 7, 2008 09:23 am at 9:23 am |
  8. Philadelphia, PA.

    And yet she still won't bow out graciously. This power hungry woman is delusional. This is an indication of how she will run our economy folks. Pay real close attention. This says about all.

    omg....Clinton supporters....its time....enough!!! Now do you see what she is all about??

    I'm a Republican – I support Obama...and there are many more non-Democrats who also support him...we need to join the country – not divide it....Hillary is not the answer (unless the question was "who lied more than any politician...while simultaneously being attacked by artificial snipers")

    Obama will make a deal with Hillary to pay off her debts in order for her to go away quietly. How sad that she can't handle her money and will need Barack to pay off her debts for her.

    This just further proves she's a lunatic! She will stoop to any low to try and get herself elected! She can't win, not against Barack and not against McCain!

    SUPERS – SEND HER HOME NOW!

    ROFLMAO.....lost her support so she has to loan herself money.....AGAIN.

    There is wisdom in knowing when to call it a day. Clearly Hillary does not have that.

    Hang it up kiddo....your time has come and gone.

    I heard recently the amount of money she made online may be questionable. This may seem to confirm this. Great example of what happens when special interest money runs out!

    LOL... what else can she do?!?!?

    She has no choice.

    Who is the Elitist now with the type of money to LOAN HERSELF.... hmmm

  19. Bob (PA)

    Senator Clinton has proven time and time again that she is willing to invest in her campaign because she believes in helping Americans have a better life.

    But if she loses we (Clinton supporters) will have to find hope in a better America by voting for McCain.

    I really thought the Democrats had this election won. Maybe next time.

    AGAIN?????? Last time it was 5 million. What a looser. She is willing to spend what little money you HILLBOTS give her on a lost cause, what kind of leadership is that?? Not what I would call good judgement.

    This speaks volumes to me and it should to you too. That was the first thing out of her mouth last night. "I need money!!!"

    So, the writing is on the wall people, we just need to stay strong and whoever the nom is, we have to support to beat mccbush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I guess that how that "$10,000,000" in donations reported came about. She ran a good race, but it's over. No jokes, no negativity.

  23. Fazio

    Just think think for a moment: If this is how she is managing her campaign – having to loan herself money – How would she be to manage the country as a President? Would she loan the country money? Would you cut salaries for stop-gap measures?

    Sorry, Hillary, your track record does not inspire confidence.

  24. CNN for McCain?

    Will CNN give this same type of attention to Obama is he secures the nomination and competes against McCain?

    In my opinion, CNN has handled this election poorly and unfair in terms of coverage.

    Today is the beginning of the end of Hillary. If she was such a great candidate why can't she raise the money need to run her campain?

    May 7, 2008 09:26 am at 9:26 am |
  26. nina

    Is that allowed? What happened to the 10 million she made after the PA primary?

    And just an added note. I thought last night, as I did in her victory speech in PA, that it is absolutely disgraceful to ask for money in her speech.
    It reminds me of hearing the big TV pastors trying to spread the word of God, with their hand out.
    There are many ways to raise money, but asking the very people to whom you've just stated are hurting from gas prices, and can't buy groceries, is just lame.
    Sorry, but it sounds pathetic. And I would say that about any candidate who did that.

    May 7, 2008 09:27 am at 9:27 am |
  27. Go Obama

    My goodness.. she is blowing her own money on nothing? She really wants to divide this party.. its either win or die with her.

    Howard Dean do something.. this is getting way out of hand!!

    If this goes on much farther... we will lose the Presidential election!! Is she that dumb that she doesnt see she wont win? Or is it the fact that she wants it so badly she is willing to do ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING to get it? Its obvious she cant take a loss lightly.

    I bet she has something up her sleeve to bring Rev Wright back into the media like she did the last time.

    Keep on Hillary. Obama has not closed the deal with me! In fact, he may never close the deal with me.

    What kind of “non”-elitist has $6.4 million to loan her campaign?

    May 7, 2008 09:27 am at 9:27 am |
  31. Debbie

    Where are all her supporters that believe in Hillary? They certainly are not supporting her financially. I think this shows that despite her Penn. win she didn't really raise that much after that primary, Operation Chaos needs to take credit for some of her victories lately and most of those that say they will not support Obama are actual Republicans. Look what theyRepublicans) did in Florida in Michigan , they moved the primaries but Obama is getting the rap for that. Republicans know with Bush's last 7 years and McCain the nom, Operation Chaos is the only way to win.

    May 7, 2008 09:27 am at 9:27 am |

    6.4 Million !! –geez what an Elitist. She better start making a myspace page or something. She doesn't have any ground to ask anyone for money at this point. Clinton, just gracefully step down.

    What is wrong with this lady,someone needs to give her her meds. and sit down and tell her it is over.This is a character flaw in which she sees the world through unrealistic ideals.

  38. Michael in NC

    Is her campaign going back into debt again? That's not a good sign. If she becomes president, how is she going to manage our crippled economy? Maybe she plans to keep paying for her mistakes from her own purse. How long is that $100 million going to last, Hillary?

    I was going to post here to encourage Hillary to step down, but now that I think about it, there's a certain symetry to her borrowing herself into a financial bankruptcy to match her new political and moral ones.

    So now we know where most of that 10 million she "raised" after the PA primary came from!! HER BANK!!

    She can afford it. No big deal.

    But seriously fellow Democrats...I've bashed Hillary during some of my comments and I'm done with doing that. One thing I know is that all of us democrats will have to come together to win in Nov, because we cannot afford McCain.

    Ouch... Overspending on a fruitless, desperate campaign will not get you anywhere.

    You know, I find it hilarious that Clinton supporters think they're damaging Obama by saying that they're voting for McCain. The only people they're really damaging are themselves, and they don't even realize it. It's looking more like, "This will hurt me more than it hurts you."

    I just really wonder if this will make the news stories today. To me it seems like the media is trying thier best to keep questioning stuff like this out of the main steam news. Does this mean that she is trying to buy the White house?

    First it was $5mil now $6.4? Hillary, stop wasting your supporter's money. Please just let go, you will feel better when you accept the inevitable. This is not healthy for your or the party.

    What else does she need the $107 million for anyway?

    Go Billary continue to destroy the democratic party so OBAMA doesn't get elected. Since you already prepared your speech for November "see I told you Barack is not electable and I had nothing to do with it!".

    Hillary Clinton is done she is flat broke that brings her debt up to about 12 Million dollars this thing is over Democrat Unite around the strongest canidate and that is clealy Obama.

  55. It's Time To Give It Up

    Hillery, it is time to give it up. You have ran a good hard race, but you can't win at this point. You have now loaned you camp 11.5 million dollars – you don't even have enough money to continue on in the other races. I just want to know why are you doing this? Please step back and take a hard look at what you are doing, please use this time to help unify the party.

    Electable, but broke? I wish I had that kind of "elite" cash running around. I think her loan is worth ~5 times Obama's net worth. $109 million has put her out of touch.

    Done!! Charred, Grilled, Baked !!! How many ways can I say finished!!! To think that many is still trying to deem her as leader but I am sure that CNN and other media pundits will began to feel sorry for her and began to SPIN the what if SCENARIOS. LOL What a joke.

    If this would have been the other way around and Obama had been loosing, the DNC would have been pushing him strongly to drop out. Lets be real about that and yes once again Race would have been a HIDDEN reason.

    Someone's got to cover those debts. Hillary should really bow out gracefully and help unite the democratic party so that we can beat McCain in the general election. Who knows, maybe Obama will find a cabinet position for her but definetly not VP.

    This "im a fighter to the end" speech for her has grown tiresome. She will continute to talk bout these "disenfranchised voters" who are not disenfranchised. They voted. Their votes do not count. DNC has rules and regulations. Florida and Michigan disobeyed the law and had full disclosure of what the consequences would be. It would be unfair and make a mockery of the Democratic party if they allowed, in any way, their votes to be counted or to be seated at the convention.

    Hillarys camp needs to move forward and stop trying to beat this dead horse. But as we all know, she wont bow out. She will drag this out

    ouch..this is really bad...Just when you think the Clinton's can't get any lower, they have always managed to break the dam.

  68. Joe

    This is getting ridiculous. It's clearly a fund raising tactic. She's done it before and supporters flock to give her more money. At this point, she's a bad investment. It's essentially Game Over for her.

    Hillary if you're listening, JUST QUIT gracefully and allow the democrats to focus on beating John McCain.

    May 7, 2008 09:33 am at 9:33 am |

    She is soooooo done. Her is ego is way too big for her to concede defeat, and the one thing that is making this fun is to see how deep of a hole she's going to dig herself before she bows out.

    Hillary please bow out gracefully. You have now lent your campaign $11.5 millon dollars. Why put the party through this. Please use this time now to help unify the party.

    Hillary it's time you had a chat with Mitt Romney. Maybe you'll learn why self-financing your campaign doesn't work. Besides your $15 million in the red and Obama is $700,000 in the red.

    She is probably having a fit that she is paying for her campaign out of her won money- now to the tune of 11.4 million dollars. What doesn't she understand? She should have gone a longgggggg time ago!

    That is nice that she was willing to put her own money on the line to win. Hillary has been mighty impressive during this election. No matter the outcome. The "inevitable candidate" title was a kiss of death bc every time she loss it was a killer. I am proud of this strong woman and hopes that she will find happiness in whatever she chooses to pursue next.

    Go Hillary Go !!!

    This shows that she has absolutely no judgment. She cannot understand that she is wasting time, money and energy in a cause that is not gonna go anywhere for her. And she wants to govern the White house??? She would drive us directly through a bigger recession.

    May 7, 2008 09:42 am at 9:42 am |
  88. Fletch

    I wonder if this is a fundraising ploy on the part of her campaign. We've seen this before. After she loaned herself 5 million a few months ago, she got a big outpouring of donations from her supporters that viewed her campaign as strapped for cash. Will it work this time around?

    Now we see who the true elitist is. Hillary, if you really care about this country, you should now bow out gracefully.

    Why not loan herself money? She probably makes more in interest off her supporters than she does in any other investment.

    It is over for Clinton!!! PLEASE do the party a favor and gracefully walk off the stage and announce your support for the eventual nominee. It was a good run, but it is over. It has to end at some point.

    This is killing the party. Hillary fans please unite behind Obama. Their policies are similar. Hillary would make a great sec of state in an Obama administration!!!

    This is getting ridiculous. Even though I'm an Obama supporter, its sad to see Hillary's campaign burning in flames. Honestly I think she should bow out gracefully. There's no reason to keep loaning your campaign money, if your on the losing end.

    It is obvious that this woman is out for herself. You can't buy an election. Not in the US of A. What is wrong with her. Why won't the superdelegates and DNC stop this madness. SHe is only hurting the party. THe people are voting and we don't want her. How else can you interpret the numbers.

    May 7, 2008 09:44 am at 9:44 am |
  97. A.K.

    What kind of math is this? Why would she need to loan her campaign 6.4 million if she raised 10 after Penn? Was that used to repay the 10 million she was already in debt?

    Hillary can spend her 6.4 million as she likes, just so the DNC doesn't have to pay it back. I'm worried how I will spend my $30-$40 federal gas tax savings.

    Campaign aide says Hillary Rodham Clinton loaned herself $6.4 million in the past month. someone needs to give her her meds. and sit down and tell her it is over. What kind of “non”-elitist has $6.4 million to loan her campaign. Rush Limbaugh (the only reason she won Indiana – by less then 2 points mind you) can give her some more cash

    May 7, 2008 09:46 am at 9:46 am |
  106. Kevin Leo (Jonesboro, GA)

    So far she has lent her campaign over 11 million dollars and she still has the audacity to claim Barack is the elitist?!

    I am still skeptical about the whole 10 million that Hillary's campaign stated that she raised after the PA primary because they have been very silent since then. The next news of her finances is that she lent her campaign more money?!?!?! Very fishy!

    May 7, 2008 09:46 am at 9:46 am |
  107. NOMORE OBAMA BITTER

    Obama said "Hillary will win Pennsylvania. I will win North Carolina. Indiana will be the tie-breaker". Now, what is Obama talking about?
    Hillary should be the one moving on to November. If Obama will be the nominee, Mccain will be the president. Moreover, if Florida and Michigan votes will not be counted ACCORDING TO THE RESULTS. Let's the backlash to Obama come November if he is the nominee. Millions of Hillary votes will swing to Mccain. Mccain should be happy about it. Truly, Obama is the weaker candidates and is less electable. Obama is only winning states where there is a portion of African-American population. The question is he cannot win on the rural areas. Remember that Hillary trounced him in Los Angeles, CA by more than hundred of thousand of votes (URBAN). That's why obama suporter should be good to Hillary suporter. Without us, obama cannot win the presidency. Mccain for president !!!!! (Hillary supporter).

    Her continued struggles with her own campaign finances and the need to continually loan don't really paint a pretty picture of a candidate that can deal with a struggling economy and unbalanced federal budget.

    When will more people see through the lies and insanity of this self appointed wanna be? She's a liar and anything she has "achieved" has come as a result of deceit and divisive fear mongering. This is not what this country needs.

    McCain and Obama are honorable men with totally different points of view. Let them have an honest contest and debates, and let's bring some decency and integrity back to the office of the Presidency of the United States of America.

    7 % of the people in indiana was part of the operation chaos

    read this
    In an e-mail entitled “The Limbaugh Effect in Indiana = 7 percent,” Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton wrote: “According to the latest exit polling data, 17 percent of voters in the Indiana primary today said they would vote for John McCain in a Clinton/McCain match-up. Forty-one percent of that number is constituted by people who voted Clinton in the primary but also indicated they will vote for McCain in the general election. That comes out to just under 7 percent of the primary electorate the number that may be attributed to a Limbaugh Effect

  114. George, Mason NH

    "The Presidency or Bust seems" to be the new Clinton campaign slogan.

    Regardless, I love how everyone claims that CNN is unfair when their candidate is targeted for a tough news item.

    One day its the Clinton voters swearing the the formerly known Clinton News Network (CNN), is unfair and biased.

    The next day, my fellow Obama supporters are claiming CNN is unfair.

    The only thing unfair, is that regardless of who wins the Democratic Nomination, Senator McCain will win the Presidency.

    Because many "Democrats" voting this primary aren't really "Democrats". They are wither Conservatives, or they are so attached to their candidates, that they literally will bite off their own noses to spite their own stupid faces.

  115. Ex-pat in London

    Hillary is like the women in the King Solomon story from the Bible. In his infinite wisdom, King Solomon tried to determine who was the true mother of the child of the two women in front of him (Obama and Clinton). He says " the only fair thing is to cut the baby (the democratic party) in half, give one half to you and one half to you..." the evil, selfish, self-serving woman who was not fit nor in actuality the mother of the child said this was fine...where as the true mother pleaded to keep the child whole at the very least." Its so clear that Hillary will do anything, even split the party in half in the process to get what she wants, or maybe to prevent the man who is most qualified to be president....come on hillary, this should be so clear now, move on, it wont seem as if you are giving up, but rather that you are a person who truly cares for your party.

    For the past six months, Hillary has been getting more and more delusional, displaying a split personality–it is beyond ridiculous at this point. Certainly someone as self-serving as herself can see that by staying in, she is not only bashing the Democratic party (which she obviously doesn't care about), but she is completely ruining her political career and any credibility she may have had with her supporters (she never had any with me to begin with). This kind of blind determination is exactly the brand with which Bush has crippled this country.

    I hope she doesn't think Obama is going to pick up her debt and pay it off. She needs to stop loaning and start paying off the debt. I'm wondering where she's getting this money from. Could it be the Peter Paul vs Clinton funds?

    Does anyone really think these people really care about anyone other than themselves?

    i mean if they did.. and their "campaign" was generating millions of dollars a month.. if you really cared.. I mean you can open a hell of alot of 'soup kitchens' in every state with the monthly income of these campaigns... you can give every abused kid in a shelter.. a home.. with the money that is generated in these campaigns.. you can probably fulfill all the wishes from the make a wish foundation..

    there are so many hugely good causes that could be done that would make a huge direct impact by donating 1 month of campaign proceeds.. the fact is .. all these eleetist care about is themselfves and what they can "get" from you.. its like "robert tilton" just a different industry and different slogan.

    Well...NO SHE CAN'T!!!

    All of her ridiculous arguments and antics are null and void! I don't even believe that she believes it anymore (as if she ever did). Now we learn she just loaned herself 6.4 million dollars. She surely won't raise any substantial money after last night. Well, unless she gets the oil companies to pay for it just like the gas tax. LOL!!!!

    Let's get real; even when you throw in Florida and Michigan now, she no longer has the popular vote argument! There is 0% possibility for her to win the majority of states, popular vote, or delegates.

    Bye, bye Sillary Clinton. Silly rabbit! Tricks are for Clintons. Now I guess they'll get back to getting millions of donations to the Clinton Museum from questionable Middle East donors.

    She will keep punching with torn gloves till she goes broke. We shall never surrender?

    There is no shame in an honorable defeat..........and no glory in a dishonorable victory.

    91% NC, 92% IN, those are Obamas African American support percentages. Wake up and smell the racism. He's neither done or said anything to earn this, he's black so he gets the votes.

    If Obama is the nominee, get ready to hear on every media outlet come November, "This morning, President-Elect McCain..."

    I making another contribution to Clinton today.

    Could the vendors and creditors stop her from abusing the peoples money ???? Some one please give her some advisor's, on how to run the economy.. And she is going to run America, give me a break...

    Is she trying to buy herself to the nomination ???

    Why anyone (even herself) would continue to fund her campaign at this point is beyond me. It's like throwing away money. It's stupid and makes no sense whatsoever.

    Hillary, you're done. do this country (and the democratic party) a favor and graciously concede that you are not going to win this. just end it for everyone's sake.

    Why would anyone want a President that has such a distorted view of reality? The rest of the world has realized Hillary has lost the nomination... now we're just waiting around for Hillary to figure it out. Sort of reminds me of how everyone knows Iraq and the economy is in shambles, but we have a President that refuses to see the reality of the situation.

    Well, let's see, Elitism has NOTHING to do with bank account total. If I had 4 bil I would not be an elitist. Actually, it is the latte elitists who have made Obama so rich that he has unlimited funds.

    HIllary will continue and we will see what happens next! Maybe Obama will hit something even worse than the Wright speed bump.

    Is he electable in November? Many question it, but then. we will wait and see.

    how much more will she have to loan herself to make it through the primaries? geesh. She will not able to raise the $ she needs after so narrowly winning IN, and losing NC so big.

    You know, the race SHOULD come down to experienced candidates - Clinton vs. McCain. But the Democrats seem bent on destroying themselves in yet another election by voting in Barack Obama. Hello???? Polls state 50% of Clinton voters will not vote for Obama if he gets in office. What that means is 50% of Clinton voters WILL VOTE for McCain, should Obama be the nominee. Statistically, there is no way for Obama to win if 50% of Clinton voters swing over to McCain.

    In addition, Clinton pulled in the superdelegates, meaning the big states. No candidate can win without them. Oh well. Fine with me. I was voting McCain anyways.

    Is Hillary overly optimistic, in it just for herself, or just delusional? I listened to her "victory" speech last night. Only she could turn a 14 point defeat in North Carolina and a mere 2 point win in Indiana into a victory run to the White House.

    What I find funny is that now her campaign owes her that money PLUS interest... She is making money off this... So she will need to go to Win KY and WV in order to get the money she needs to pay her debts and herself.

    This woman will go to all means to win. Actually, I think that she is psychotic. She cannot handle losing. Bill Richardson said that the Clintons feel that the nomination should be handed to them. Just who do they think they are? Hillary cannot handle the finances of her campaign, let alone a country. She is so desperate that she will drive her family to getting food stamps ibefore it is all over. We do not need a psychotic like this in the White House. Hillary, save face and step down gracefully (if you actually can at this point), and not be dragged by the hair and thrown out. OBAMA is our man. Maybe 2016 will be your year (if you are able to get any votes after at this point).

    How is this legal? I thought before a candidate provided more than 100K to their campaign it had to go through a screening process or something.

    Anyway, this has got to stop. I am originally from New York and people in NYC hate her and people in Albany (where I went to Grad school) are not to happy with her either. Hence, she basically has lost NY because of these negative ads. Cut it out Hill! Remember, it's not about YOU and OBAMA...Its about US!!!

    How pathethic! Now we know how she raised $10 mill on the night of her PA win: she loaned herself the money. Can she she stoop any lower. It's really disheartening to see the Clintons like this. However, they brought it on to themselves. I voted for Bill twice in the past. Now it's time to move on. In spite of all the distractions, I would like to Hillary as VP if Bill would stay out of the White House.

    This woman has made it harder for the next woman to seek the Highest Office in the land. She is a joke, and the people that supports her are setting themselves up for failure. I knew she would not win my home state of North Carolina because the people there are smarter than those in Indiana and Pennsylvania combine. She is destroying herself and the Democratic Party at the same time. know matter what, John McCain will not beat Obama. The Republicans created this mess they call war in Iraq, they destroyed the U.S. Economy, and they got Americans fighting among themselves so how do Hillary Clinton feel that she is the one to unite the country? Please give me a break. This woman is about money and power and making sure that Chelsea can run for President on day. I think her and Bill Clinton is addicted to power and wealth. He was broke when he left the White house now he is worth $109 million dollars. Maybe, I should start giving speeches.

  216. Clinton Campaign stole my money

    I contributed to the Clinton campaign in January a one time donation of $50 and they took unauthorized amounts of $50 out of my banking account for February, March and April, totaling $150. I contacted the campaign by phone multiple times about the unauthorized fund transfer and each time I was blown off and put into a voice mail box that was full and could not take accept any messages. The same thing happened to my bank when customer service tried to contact the campaign. I also sent 5 emails and did not receive a single response. I eventually had to close down my account to prevent the campaign from taking anymore money out. The bank refunded me my $150. I have yet to hear back from the Clinton campaign.

    My question is: How many other people this has happened to?

    Hillary,

    As the Blue Collar Candidate, we are glad to see that you reached into your cookie jar, under the matress and hit up the in-laws for over $11 million. You can obvously understand how the hard working families in America, struggling to fill up their gas tanks, pay utilities and buy grocerys are suffering. I guess you will have to get your lazy husband off the couch and have him get a job, maybe he could do a few half hour speaches and make it possible for you to continue your futile campaign. It seems that you are bewildered that Americans would vote for someone else. It is almost like a spoiled ($100M) child that does not get her way. Or is it like a dictator that asks the poor to finance a new palace, "that they deserve".
    You Carpet-bagged" your way to the NY Senate seat on Bill's name, by supporting his adultery, now you covet thy neighbor's votes.....

    This is a sad day in our Democratic party. Hillary has run a valiant campaign and now it is time to let this go and unite the party to run against McShame and the Repugs. Please Clinton supporters and Obama supports, unite, lets stop the infighting. We need each other to make sure that we don't have another 4 yrs of GWB. If you have comments, let's make them about issues, personal attacks and fear mongering has no place in American politics and Obama is trying to champion that cause. Let's start by being more polite and cordial toward those who have different view and different thoughts, different backgrounds and different upbringings, because we all have the same hope. Hope that one day, we can live out the American dream and that our government will no longer hold us back, but actually help us along the way as we help ourselves. WE have to do this together!! UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL (and allow McShame and the Repugs to win).

    From Looking at this Race from the outside its amazing how the American people are easily fooled. Isn't this the same woman that rasied 10 million and was running such a well organized campaign with momentum? Please she is done lets put this race to rest she is runing the democrats chance of a victory in the general election, she is too predictable, go negative and lie about Obama when she faces defeat and lie about how much off an angle and an ordinary person she is when the odds are in her favor. Are American's that predictable, she is done support Obama and allow him to lead the country to its utmost potential

    I don't understand how someone who says they love the Democratic party an continue to fight so hard for a nomination she will not get. She is damaging herself financial. She has taken a campaign - Obama - based on hope and inclusion - one that generated excited that could have swept a Democratic president == amd a nmber of congressman and official in state contest into office. She is only thinking of herself. SHE doesn't want the party to win. She want's to win. If she doesn't she would prefer McCain win over Obama so she can get another shot at the Presidency in four years. I am so disappointed and disgusted with Hillary and Bill.

    The fact that Hillary Romney has to loan her campaign money speaks volumns about her executive ablity, it's bad. Hillary and Bill's loyalists are the only ones left.

    It is really astounding that she and her shills are actually claiming they had a good night. Closer in NC than predicted (was 20%, down to ONLY 16%) and "won" the "tiebreaker" in Indiana. Let's ride that wave to the White House!!!

    It shows me the thinks she is entitled to the office even if the results CLEARLY show she is not winning and won't win. Why stay in unless you're ready to pull some shenanigans at the last minute?

    The 6.4 Mil would be better spent if she gave it to charity and bowed out of the race. But I am sure that is the LAST thing on her mind. She is going to kick and scream all the way to November and try to drag the party down with her. What a gal.

    May 7, 2008 09:58 am at 9:58 am |
  232. Hillary-ious

    Let's sum up what this means-

    Hillary has been stiffing people along the campaign trail, not paying her debts to event organizers and other contractors. She had already loaned herself five million, now has loaned herself another 6.4 million. At the same time, she is begging her supporters to donate more money to her campaign. The sad thing is to think about where all of this money is going- It is going toward increasingly negative attack ads, and efforts to destroy, discredit, and damage Obama, who by all accounts is looking like our eventual nominee. Why would any democrat in their right mind want to contribute money to that cause?

    I've said this before, and I'll say it again- Hillary cannot win. She cannot win the pledged delegate total and she cannot win the popular vote total. Her entire campaign now rests on the ludicrous proposition that we should count FL and MI for some reason. Anyone who knows the facts about why FL and MI are not being counted realizes what a crazy notion it is to seat those delegates as is. Obama was not even on the ballot in Michigan, largely because it was made perfectly clear that MI and FL were NOT going to count. Since it was so abundantly clear that these were meaningless primaries, the media had taken to calling them "beauty contests". Who's to say that many people who really wanted to vote didn't decide not to waste their time since it was a meaningless primary? The bottom line is that there is no possible way that the results from those two states can be considered fair. EVERYONE agreed that they would be stripped of their delegates, including the Clinton campaign. You cannot take that back, or undo the impact the decision had on this race. The one option which cannot be considered is using the results from those "beauty contests". Redo the elections if the states want to ( which they apparently don't, since both states voted to not redo their elections) but we cannot count the results unless they are either fair, or agreed upon by both campaigns.

    Yesterday was your last real chance to steal the election from Obama and you lost!!!!! The people have spoken and we do NOT want a queen for this country. You will have to go and find a new population of people to rule over HRC, and I am glad it is NOT this country!!!!!!!!!

    I love the fact that she had to again loan herself money to fight a LOOSING fight and she is willing to drop millions of dollars for nothing……is that who we want in the WH, spend money on lost causes. Let's be frank here, that is what she is doing people.

    I expect to see waterfall of SD start to get in line with Obama in the nect few days.

    Oh and don't worry Hillbots, if your candiate steals this election from Obama, I would still vote for HRC, even though you people won't do that for Obama, atleast the exit polls suggest that. Pretty sad don't you think? And you Hillbots call us the mean one, whatever!!!!

    I dont get this, people talk about Hillary's electibility and yet she keeps loaning her campaign money, Barack is rasing more money and spending more money and winning despite running against two time president and his wife with an established political machine on the ground. The Clinton group wants to raise money for a re- run of the botched Florida and mitchigan election, yet they dont have money to fund their campaign. I believe Hillary is running for herself alone and i hope her selfish ambition will not destroy the democratic party in the fall.

    not that these are original thoughts, but

    1. How can she manage the country's finances if she is this heavily indebted?

    2. How can she possibly accuse anyone of being out of touch with americans if she can just casually loan herself another $6.4 million. That's not in support of Obama, I just hate hypocrisy.

    Well now that is just sad. No wonder she wants those cards and letters coming in with money inside.

    How can she compete against someone who has weekly support from people who "sacrifice" to give. This is why this isn't a democracy! Obama outspent Clinton 4-to-1. Tell me if there isn't something wrong with this picture. Of course she has to loan some of her own money! I would do the same, if it's for something that I believe in!!!

    Since when do we accept a candidate such as Obama to just state "Change is needed", yet overall, he really doesn't present many SOLUTIONS to this "Change" that is needed. He consistently states the negative facts about America and our government, he actually sounds more & more like Reverend Wright when he speaks. Can you hear it?
    Clinton has presented many logical solutions to many of our issues of concern. She really is the better choice for America.

Besides why should she get out. She has won MI & FL and those states better be counted with their delegates and popular vote counting the way the people voted. OBAMA CAMPAIGNED IN FLORIDA SO SHE WON THAT STATE HANDS DOWN. IF OBAMA DIDN'T HAVE SENSE ENOUGH TO KEEP HIS NAME ON The ballot in MI. then this is the idiot you want to put in the White House. You call Hillary a liar. WELL MORONS WHAT DO YOU CALL THE UN-PATROTIC< UN-CHRISTIAN, REZKO SUPPORTED and the biggest gangster-murderer KENNEDY of them all supporting OBAMA. What is OBAMA.

    How can anyone think Hillary would be good for this country when she has run a terrible campaign constantly running out of money. If this is an indication on how she would run the country then we will be no better off than we are with George W. Bush.

    Hillary has called Obama elite, well she is the elite one being able to keep loaning herself millions of dollars to continue in a campaign that she has no chance of winning.

    Clinton's problem now is to figure out how she can exit the race without seeming overly selfish. I think she should have bowed out after Pennsylvania, when she could have commanded any price or concession from Obama that she wanted. Now, it will be much harder for her to make any demands on Obama's presidential campaign, and the longer she keeps going, the more damage she does to her future political viability.

    nina said:
    Is that allowed? What happened to the 10 million she made after the PA primary?

    ======================================================

    Well Nina, the $10M she claims to have gotten in donations went to pay back her other debts that her campaign ran up before. It's amazing to me that, for someone who touts small business and working people of this country, there are stories on the Net about how she hasn't paid some Mom & Pop Donut/Bagel Shop from when she was campaigning in Iowa and NH; she is truly shameless at that. She wants to hold Obama to a standard that she won't abide by.

    Now she's reduced to lending herself money. When other supporters won't lend money to your campaign, isn't that a sign right there? A sign that they don't believe in your message anymore and that you're only in it for the vanity of your own ego? Hillary, for the sake of the party, stop acting like a hardcore Republican and do what's right: suspend your campaign and save what little shred of respect and decency you have left. Maybe Barack will buy you a shot and a beer if you're a good girl??

    Let it be known: the guy on CNN last night, Castellanos, said last night was 'the beginning of the end of the Clinton era'. Let's hope for the future of our country that he's right!!!

Get over yourselves and quit being crybabies about FL and MI! It is funny how the Democrats in those states sat back and did NOTHING until after the DNC enforced their punishment of disallowing their delegates like they threatened they would (come on, my 3 year old behaves much more maturely than FL & MI and all the Hillary supporters who want to use FL & MI to steal the nomination).

    1. How on earth can she begin to solve our economic woes when she can't even manage her campaign? It's not like you can just print more money to bail a country out, though that's probably what she's banking on.

    2. How does she claim to "understand" blue collar workers? I'm college educated and I can't even imagine having millions of dollars. The blue collar workers need to take a look at the facts- see that before Obama went into politics, he worked with people in Chicago to make a better life for them. He had a law degree with no interest in becoming a lawyer because he wanted to make a difference in people's lives from the bottom up. Seriously, people, Hillary has nothing for you.

    Hillary is disgracing her family's name. Enough already!

  320. A.K.

    Anya, that's great, as long as you're not elsewhere claiming that you really need the 30 bucks from Clinton's gas tax holiday. Oh, and you may be a "registred democrat", but you're no Democrat if you're for McCain.

    May 7, 2008 10:20 am at 10:20 am |
  321. F12002M

    Billary.... You aint no Mitt Romney. If you keep putting $12M every 2 months in you campaign you will end up foreclosing your your home and the clinton library. Thats my advice and its free.

  322. Sheila WA

    I think with Obama trouncing Hillary in NC and Hillary's very very narrow win in Indiana (less than 19,000 votes) proves that Obama is electable. It's going to be pretty tough for Hillary to sway the supers to her side by saying he is unelectable .

    May 7, 2008 10:20 am at 10:20 am |
  323. yen

    Greatness is to accept defeat. Hillary and Bill will kill to win. Imagine, Hillary using her own money to run negative campaign to hurt a fellow democrat.And she knows all too well that she cannot win. What happened to bill and hill????????

    May 7, 2008 10:21 am at 10:21 am |
  324. Gail

    CNN: Please post something negative about Obama in the middle of all of these negative Obama supporters.

    You Obama people really aggravate me. Don't you have anything to do except sit around waiting for the next ticker? I will be simply disgusted if Obama is the nominee. It is almost like you are voting and supporting him to spite somone. Wherever it is that Obama gets his money is really surprising. There must be people not eating and feeding their children, just so they can put an African-American in the white house. I will not vote for him and will not vote period if he is the nominee.

    NOTE TO HILLARY:

    It's over. Drop out with some form pride. That is all you have left.

    Last night did nothing but strengthen Obama's campaign. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that.

  330. CA Girl

    Money aside, after last night's results it is time for Hillary to step outside of the Clinton bubble and let the Democratic party move forward.

    Stop with the desperate pleas that will only hurt us: funding your own campaign and pushing for Florida and Michigan revotes after they clearly broke the rules.

    This is an isolated time I would ever praise a republican, but Hillary PLEASE follow Mitt Romney's steps and drop out!

    May 7, 2008 10:22 am at 10:22 am |
  331. AM

    I couldn't even imagine going to the polls to vote and finding out that my vote, or anyone else's in my state doesn't count (Florida & Michigan) This would definately anger me. Everyone's vote should count. How would you feel if they disregarded your vote in particular.

    May 7, 2008 10:23 am at 10:23 am |
  332. Paul B., Gardner, CO

    Having $6.4M to loan her campaign just goes to show how far out of touch Hillary is with the "average voter".

  335. Rich

    Is there any way to prove that Hillary's campaign truly raised $10 million the day after the Pennsylvania primary? Her campaign's saying that was great campaign spin, but I doubt the truthfulness of this claim by a candidate who will do anything and say anything to get elected.

    May 7, 2008 10:24 am at 10:24 am |

    That's the kind of politics the we need to get rid of. Rich people putting themselves in office whether the people want them or not. The people spoke in Iowa. Game over!

    Anya...you might as well have put that $500 beside the toilet and used it as toilet paper...at least then you would have gotten some good use out of it. Don't you know the country is in a recession? You should be making wise choices with the money that you spend.

    Hillary is intransigent because the superdelegates are so incompetent that they cannot take a decision to control her and make her abide by the rules or reason.

    I'd say the loans are less a commitment to continuing the race and more of a sign of her inability to budget or understand economics. And they aren't the only signs of those shortcomings.

    It vwas really sad to hear someone who just revealed that she and her husband made $109,000,000.00 the past 6-7 years preface her election night speech with asking the little guy to send money. This seems extremely elitist, since she knows that she realistically can not win.

  381. Koronin

    Shay, the reporting is not under par. It clearly shows the dates she loaned herself more money, April and May.

    So that's more than 11 millions she's poured into her own campaign.

    11 million orginal dollars and not one original idea, some formula for winning the Nomination.

    oh now I get it, this is why she is pushing so hard for the gas tax holiday, its not really for the poor suffering voters, she needs it herself and to help cut costs of transporting her campaign. Like she says when you are that much in debt 30 dollars is a lot of money.

    I urge all Democrats and Democratic-leading Independents and Republicans that now is the time to rally around the Democratic Presidential Nominee, Barack Obama!

    The Clinton camp has raised every political issue imaginable in the primaries from popular votes to electoral college votes to Republican tactics against the nominee. As an Obama supporter, Democrats need time to heal and unite. All the supporters of the Democratic Party need time off to rest and regain strength in order to take on McBush in November! This Democratic primary season seems more like a general election contest.

    Hillary if you really believe you are the best candidate, finance your own campaign. You have 103 mil left. Your buddy Governor Corzine spent 67 mil of his own money to win a senate seat.

    Don't be so cocky Obama supporters. It's not over. IF he gets the nomination, he would need the rest of us.
    If he is going to believe that half the republican states he won will vote for him, think again. He is in for a rude awakening.

    If this is any indicator of how she would run our country....you can tell a lot about a presidential candidate by how they run their campaign, and it's probably a fairly good indicator of what we could expect if she were to be in the White House next year. Not good, folks. This isn't a sign that she is committed to continuing, it's a sign she's broke.

    I'm also from Florida I really don't care that my vote don't count because my state DIDN'T FOLLOW THE RULES. Simple as that, how about I rob a bank, I shouldn't get arrested because I didn't follow the rule. There is your logic, and don't say its different because that is completely unrelated, to who? Because to me it is the same rules are rules if you break them you pay the consequences.

    We, the people, are so proud of Hillary Rodham Clinton! In our midst is a rare individual who will serve this country with dignity. She is beautifully brilliant on economic policy and a nation builder. Hillary listens and learns and knows America. She is exactly what this country needs. Hillary will be one of America's best presidents.

    If she wants to keep loaning money, maybe she can loan some to the American citizens so we can all afford to fill up our gas tanks.

    "Good grief woman have you paid your campaign debts yet or is this just more money already spent? "

    My guess its just more money she has already spent. I don't know about the rest of you, but I sure as heck don't want this woman trying to balance our country's budget (although from the looks of it she probably won't be any worse at it than Dubya).

    She's rich and its saddens and makes me sick she is trying to 'fight' for the poor. Please!!! $109 million that's all I have to say...ohh and please get out. Save some face. Thank God the Clinton machine is over and whoever wins in November won't be her or her husband. Sickening campaign. As an independent that leans towards democrat I'll rather have McCain than her.

    This is beginning to look really bad for Clinton that she can't raise the money needed for operations. Maybe she should think about withdrawing from the campaign. Given her ego, I don't think that Clinton will do that. I guess it isn't surprising that Clinton started asking for money right after the limited win in IN (saw on First Read from MSNBC). She had to do that right after the PA win as well.

    Don't worry about HIllary, Bill will earn that money back in no time through some questionable deals with foreign companies, and we will never be any the wiser. As to the remarks posted by "Texan for the Naked Truth", you are wrong about Obama-he followed the rules and did not campaign in Florida, and along with other admirable candidates, removed his name from Michigan per party rules.

  423. WE ARE UNITED!!!!

    I truly want to reach out to all Clinton supporters. As a DEMOCRAT first, and an Obama supporter second, this country truly needs a new direction in politics. Now, I know there will be those who will absolutely not vote for Obama, but then there are those who want a Democrat as the next President; like myself. Do what is right for the country, put aside all the hate that has built up over the past couple of months and think about your future, and that of your children/grandchildren. Remember, a vote for McCain is a vote for another 4 years of the HELL this country has faced under George W. Bush, and 4 more years our service men and women will be in Iraq with no exit strategy. Lastly, we are AMERICANS before anything else.

    How much interest is she charging the American public for the loans she made to her campaign? Hillary voted for the war in Iraq and in spite of her professed change of mind went on to say she would 'obliterate' Iran. I expected a woman President would exhaust every avenue before sending our Son's to war. Hillary is not that woman, she is a 'good ole boy' in a pants suite.

    I agree with Nina that it is VERY tacky to ask for campaign money from a crowd that Hillary has been talking to endlessly about working to help them "save" money due to the gas tax holiday she and John McCain are proposing.

    Perhaps she is hoping the $30.00 or so a family might "save" this summer should go to her campaign coffers?

    I watched last night CNN news for Democratic primary election report and commentaries as well Obama and Clinton victory speech. I am very disappointed Obama who is running for the United State president and he thinks he is won the primary. However, I think he does not have a heart for every one in his mind. He did not mention a word about the Cyclone disaster in Burma and thousands of people died and 40,000 peoples are missing from the disaster. I think he does not have a global leader for a the United State president . He also talking about the changes but what is "ISSUE" about change that everybody crazy about him. I am very concerned for the future of US.

    If she is loaning her campaign these funds, how and when does she start paying off her debt? Of the ten million she claims she raised the days following the PA primary, what percentage are her personal funds?

  447. beclear

    Boy, it's sure a good thing she decided not to listen to those economists. Clearly, as someone who is running her campaign into debt over and over and repeatedly having to offer personal loans, SHE knows better than the experts. And surely, as a multi-millionaire, she knows poor people's struggle better than Obama, the elitist who grew up on food stamps and paid his way through college with loans.

    Is this really right? If there is a cap for donation to political campaign fundraising, can a person especially the candidate donate/loan such a money?

But I find it a the terrible thing that these folks also say that rather McCain than Obama. They don't see that they hurt the democratic party, the country and thus themselves! And not just a little bit!

    Wasteful. Thanks to her the democratic party could go down in flames, and she is too foolish to realize it. She would have to win 65% of all primaries and super delegates to win right now, so its virtually impossible. Yet she continues to waste funds, even money she doesn't have, that would be better spent on uniting the party and beating McCain.
    So thanks Hilary for handing the election to McCain on a silver platter.

    How come Sen. Clinton is not being accused of trying to buy the nomination like others before her were accused when they used their own money? I guess she's also still the blue collar champion since most blue collar voters have $11M just hanging around in case they need to buy themselves a job. Not too elitist I guess.

    "On a conference call with reporters, Wolfson said the loan proves Clinton is committed to staying in the presidential race." I love the spin they put on things. The simple fact of the matter is, any well-run campaign should not have to loan their campaign money. For the people, by the people.

    Hillary is so stubborn she can't see clearly. She is amazing to watch and understand. She should get out of the race now, anything else is just selfish on her part. It is so clear she makes bad decisions and refuses to acknowledge them. Hmmm.....who does that remind you of?

    People might call Indiana a victory for Senator Clinton. How ever, could she have won without Rush Limbaugh Operation Chaos? Thus, these RLOC actors will not vote democratic in november. Therefore, Barack Obama is more electable than Senator Clinton.

    This inane person has no clue about anything other than power. Neither economic nor healthcare nor military reality will stop her!

    Stop her from what? Confronting the fact that she doesn't have a clue what to actually do if she achieves the office.

    I admire her persistence – but as the Gambler said, you gotta know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em.

    Hillary, it's time to fold. For the good of the country, for the good of the party.. she needs to stop moving the goalposts, because there's no way she can declare victory.

    I think Clinton needs to get out the race and look for V.P slot in order to unite Democraic Party.If you do the calculation for remaining of the states and give Mrs.Clinton 62% of all delegates and superdeligates,Obama still wins the nomination.So it will be a wise decision to drop out and let us work to bring a Democrate in the White House.

    She should recognize that it's over and start to support the Democratic Party to win the November 2008 Elections.

    McGovern already deflected this morning to OBAMA and at least 2 dozens Superdelegates are expected to deflect to OBAMA.

    The Obama supporters may end up costing the party the General elections by using foul language and baring their ugliness. Hillary is running because other democrats who have not voted want to vote. As a OBAMA backer it is not your money that is being spent by her. The votes of Hillary supporters are crucial to win the in November. If this type of barrage continues from the Obama camp some of the supporters of Hillary will vote for McCain. Obama has not won big states where there are a significant number of non black voters. Black votes have helped in the South – Even if a few hundred Hillary backers may make a difference for Obama's election. So some of you may want to calm down – you may have won the battle but end up losing the war.

    Today is such a grand day! Sen. Obama whipped her butt and almost won in Indiana. She really thought she had it in the bag, poor thing! And for her to declare that she is going to keep going, well she is just delusional. She must like spending money and wasting it! She won't get the nomination and it shouldn't have gone on this long. She NEVER could win, but the media giving false illusions that she actually had a chance! And she's so stupid, she believed her OWN hype! I don't feel sorry for her one bit, after the way she tried to humiliate Sen. Obama with her nasty, dirty self! But the voters have spoken, thank GOD! And for those who support her who say they will vote for McCain, then you are pure fools! You think things are tight now, they will be GONE if he gets in there! And you won't have nobody to blame but yourselves! Sen. Obama beat her fair and square. He didn't steal this election, which is what she is trying to do to him. He didn't humiliate her last night, (he could have) but has always risen above all the dirt that she has tried to throw his way. And to her supporters who have a problem with Sen. Obama being able to attract the black vote, well, they must remember, she HAD the black vote. Blacks didn't come over to Sen. Obama's side until her HUSBAND made that Jesse Jackson remark, offending millions of black voters. And I'm here to tell you, if she thinks she can beat McCain, think again! No democratic presidential nominee has ever gotten into the WHITE HOUSE without the BLACK VOTE! And that includes her HUSBAND! So, go away, now Hillary. I'm tired of looking at your face!

    BTW- The only reason Clition is polling high against Mccain is because the Republicans have not eaten her alive in the media yet. She has already pulled out all they could on Obama. That stuff is old news now. The republicans would love to have Hillary, to drag her name through the mud. Then we could see who would poll high then.

I'm sure the Obama-bots threatening to riot if their nominee is not selected by the superdelegates will play into their decision. We held the O J trail in So. LA, so as to avoid race riots. So much evidence, who would have thought race would over rule? Two hours to deliberate a 9 month long trail. How many of you Obama-bots thought O J was innocent? Obama will most likely lose the general election, fear will not work in his favor in November. He has managed to divide this party more then anyone before him. His supporters spew venom and that reflects on their choice.

    Hey joyce,

    African americans always vote in a large block for candidates that represent their interests. Back in the 90's, African americans got the Clintons elected. But they have change to race baiting, slash and burn monsters that AA's no longer want to support. That's what happened to the vote. Now Hillary receives just as many votes as Bush in the AA community.

    The real shame is the horrible way the Clintons have run this campaign.

    For those who are convinced that Obama cannot defeat McCain: how can Clinton beat McCain if she cannot beat Obama? Let's not forget that there are a lot of skeletons in the Clintons' collective closet, and the republicans will not hesitate to pull them out. I can see the very first TV ad now: footage of Clinton's reception in Bosnia, overlaid with her recent accounts of sniper fire. Then the screen transitions to McCain returning from North Vietnam upon being freed.

    The sad fact of the matter is that these candidates have so fractured the Democratic party that McCain is practically guaranteed to win in November.

    Hillary, it's really time to call it quits. You've fought a good fight (albeit a dirty one), but it's time to call it quits before you destroy everyone's credibility (most of all your own).

    Congrats Obama on locking up something that you essentially had locked up 2 months ago.

    Vote Obama.

    No! She raised $6.4 million in less than 24 hours after her victory in Indiana last night. She will now start saying the truth and being sincere, I guess.

    Good for her. She has 103 millions more to blow off. Please don't ask anyone making less than $100,000 to chip in. It is too costly & unfair for the poor to contribute her egotistic road to nowhere.

    The only reason she put up with Bill's playing around and ran for NY Senator was to become President one day. She will not quit and Bill will support her all the way to the political grave. She is digging that grave not only for herself but her party. I also wonder about the money. Would you risk a million dollars of your own money to be awaded a 4 year , 50,000 dollar contract? Does anyone else smell fish???

    This is hardly the change at the bottom of the pockets of an elitist. I wonder how much money she would lend herself for the general elections. She does not need to ask money to others when everybody knows she is going down the drain anyway.

    Right before she admits defeat she'll pay herself back. That's what money she's begging for now will be used for. That's also why she can't quit yet, her campaign is in the red big time and she hasn't raised enough to pay herself back yet. As soon as she can pay herself back I predict she'll give up.

    Hillary Clinton,
    As a woman, I beg of you, please bow out gracefully with the dignity I know lurks in every woman's heart, from the nomination you cannot win. I honestly believe this would show strength, stature, and purpose helping to restore your reputation. It would be horrible to watch you totally self destruct due to raw ambition, and perhaps poor campaign advice, leaving a soiled memory permanently attached to the Clinton legacy.
    Thank you.

    It is virtually impossible for her to win the nomination, she is using up her own money, what's going on here? Something just doesn't seem right. She's a smart woman and she wouldn't be self-destructing, she must have something to gain from this, but what?

    TIme to use some of that money Bill got for "speaking" from the Columbian govt to help pay for her anti-NAFTA commercials. This would make a good skit next week on SNL

    No wonder Bill looked so sad standing behind her during her speech! She's taking away his allowance.

    If Bob and the rest of the "we'll have to vote McCain" bunch care about this Country as they say they do- prove you're not just for a personality- prove you're Democrats and care about America.
    And they call US the "cultists". Please.

    Tyhe writing is on the wall and although it may be a difficult thing to face , it's time for Hillary to stop the madness. When you become your own best financial supporter it's time to have a time out. There is only one true agent for change and that's Obama.

    She needs to loan herself money, her contributors have given up on the loser.

    Sharon, Sen. Obama's money is coming from people like me, who have faithfully invested in America's future by donating to him every week. Maybe you should have done the same for your candidate

    We should all be so "enriched". Congratulations to her for going forward. Clinton will slug this out on the convention floor and I hope she has a big upset. Obama is as arrogant as they come.

    Ross Perot resurrected! Those who think having the money to throw around equal to having what it takes to lead others.
