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.

the bank of hillary... can I perhaps refinance my mortgage at a lower rate?
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.
Obama '08
And she wants to reform our economic situation.
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???
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.
Deck chairs. Titanic.
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!
OBAMA 08!
AND HER SUPPORTERS WILL HAVE TO PAY HER BACK.
Ouch, talk about a bad investment.
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.
OBAMA 08
I wonder where she got the money???? Release your taxes Hillary!!!
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
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.
Talk about an ELITIST!
Barack Obama 08!
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.
Obama 08
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.
Obama '08
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?
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.
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.
Hillary 2008/2012>>>>>>>>>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe her pal Rush Limbaugh (the only reason she won Indiana – by less then 2 points mind you) can give her some more cash.
What kind of “non”-elitist has $6.4 million to loan her campaign?
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.
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.
lol........Blue collar who?
Go away Hillary!!
You lost!
Funding her own VANITY. LOL
GO HOME HillBilly, it's OVER
put a fork in it, billary, you're finished!
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.
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 do not want to say it but I remember requesting the media to investigate when she came out to lay that she got 10 M after PA.
This woman is unbelievable...what a joke
Hillary,
Get out now before you spend all that White water money and Peter Pauls money as well. You are gonna need it for Lawyers etc...Sink or swim which one will it be!!!!!!!!!
IF SHE DIDNT HOW ELSE SHE WAS GOING TO PAY HER PEOPLE .AND HER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR FREE FOR A LONG TIME
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!!
Holy cow lady. This is now sad.
Oh...poor hillary..
Honey please don't get into more trouble..ur campaign has already broken..bow out gracefully
LOL...Just get out the race and save yourself $6.4 Million. What happened, your supporters aren't giving you any money?
THE CLINTON'S WILL BE BANCKRUPT BEFORE THIS IS OVER....... SO SAD ALL SHE HAS TO DO IS GRACEFULLY EXIT... HOWEVER SHE IS NOT A GRACEFUL WOMAN........
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.
Obama 08,12
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!".
One more Mitt Romney story.
Its over Hillary. Get out...
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.
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.
This is ridiculous, just call it quit Senator Hilary Clinton
We already have a President that is in denial. We don't need another one.
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.
looks like Bill have to give more speeches in favor of China, Columbia etc. to maintain $110 millions.
no other intelligent person would
A gambler sliding into abyss.
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.
Just quit Hillary. The math does not add up. Lets see how many supers are going to flock to Obama this week. Time to unite the party
I have a feeling the heat from hillary supporters is about to simmer down now!
I hope the super delegates will move decisively now and end the circus. I expect the worst kitchen sink now. There can only be one motivation for her. Destroy Obama at whatever cost!
So that's how she managed to take in $10 million in 24 hours after the PA primary!
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.
Is this not a sign of fiscal irresponsibility? How can anyone vote for somebody who makes such terrible investment decisions?
Too bad the common person affected by the economy that she supposedly cares so much about, can't loan themselves 6.4 million!! Talk about forked tongue!!
I think this turkey is done!
Well, it's her money. Where's the criticism for Obama spending so much money campaigning. It is disgraceful the amount of money he has spent.
I was hoping she would make a graceful exit from the race; but the way things are going she may end up worse-off at the end! May common sense prevail!
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.
OBAMA '08!
when you are cheap enough to take dishes from the white house, you certainly don't loan yourself money – without someone else paying it back
I just looked up 'bad investment' in the dictionary and...
OMG!!! and the rich keep getting richer......maybe she will use those millions to solve the country's health insurance woes....YEAH, RIGHT!
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.
Was that $6.4 million a part of the $10 million she claimed to have raised after the Pennsylvania Primary?
Wow. She might really be like millions of us when this is over. . . poor and no job
Voters are making it clear who they support! The Clinton camp is finished!
hillaty clinton is hillarious. why is she hurting DNC?. she knows that she cannot win.
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!
Yihaaaaa!!!!
How does President Obama sound? Mighty sweet to me!
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.
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.
Anyone that would contribute to her at this point is throwing their money away. She'll be out of the race by end of May!
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!!!
LMAO at the Obamanites....now they say CNN is favoring McCain!!
CNN doesn't have to favor McCain...he will win by a landslide if Obama is the democratic nominee!!!
GO Hillary!!
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.
Hillary can’t even run her campaign in the black, how does she expect run the country?
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.
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?
Easy on the lady folks...I am of the school of thought that believes no need kicking someone who is already down. But I do agree that the time has come for her to throw in the towel....really.
Go Hillary !! Dig up some more dirt on him, he's not fit to lead .......!!
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.
Come on Hillary! Let go and support your fellow democrat for President. It is over for you and you are going broke trying to save a sinking ship. It is time to start thinking about how we can keep the republicans out of the White House.
Keep Fighting Hillary!!
Disunity!
Hillary 08!!
Why is she "loaning" it to her campaign? With $109 million in income, she should "give" it to her campaign if she wants the job so bad!
CAN'T RUN A CAMPAIGN. CAN'T RUN A COUNTRY.
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
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!
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).
Oh Hilary if you can't afford to stay in the race, get out of the kitchen.
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.
At this rate she is going to be a working Jane after all. Just joking. =)
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
Laugh all you want but it will probably be the Obama supporters who have to pay for Hillary's debts.
"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.
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.
The filly came in second, broke legs and has to be EUTHANIZED! Let's go SuperDels, it's time to put this horse out of OUR misery.
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?
The rich try to buy the election again. Hillary – this is absolutely pathetic and goes against the spirit of democracy. I am thrilled that this time your kind lost.
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.
this day just keeps getting better and better.
OBAMA!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, I didn't finish this thought.....if Hillary has loaned her campaign 6.4 million dollars...I am stuck on the word LOAN. All candidates request donations, and a donation is not expected to be paid back. She is making loans to herself. Who will pay that loan back to her?
Wouldn't it be sumtin' if it turns out that they lied about getting the $10 million. Naw, they would do sumtin' like that–pshh!
And she claims that she'll be able to effectively manage this country's economy! PLEASE!!! She can't even budget her own darn campaign!!
I will be giving Hillary more money today. I will NEVER vote for Obama. He and his wife are destroying the country. He is not electable and almost 50% of Hillary supporters will NOT vote for Obama!!! No matter how MSNBC pushes the Obamas in our face the media should not decide our elections. Just wait sometime between now and October Obama will be exposed!
Oh my...Hillary..you would rather bleed your bank than step down and exit stage left??? WOW you are a very desperate woman..I think it's over for you honey...
The news media has carried a headline about Limbaugh's so-called Operation Chaos. Right to vote is a constitutional right. Fraudulent voting practices is a federal criminal offense. This goon is interferring with a federal process and why is the media facilitating this corruption by analyzing and giving credence to this mess.
i am over adding to the divide.
i will say though that this is a sad day for Hil and I feel for her.
will she continue on – limping – needing to figure out monies, etc? YES she will and she is allowed the right to do so – as she will probably do well in KY and WV – but it is putting off the inevitable and only she can see that...
This lady needs to go to Gambler's Anonymous. Seriously. The more the odds are against her, the more she doubles down.
If I was Chelsea I'd be pissed ....she's blowing her inheritance.
I really think this woman has fell and bumped her head. Does she have scally legs. Something is not right with her. She hardly acknownledge her husband. I fell for the daughter,can she find a husband,not a father firgue and get married and move away from them two crazy eggheads.
I would like to congratulate BARACK OBAMA for a convincing victory in North Carolina and almost winning Indiana! Even though this article is about Hillary, Barack Obama deserves praises for running a great campaign and I would like to thank the millions of fellow supporters who have offerd money instead of him loaning himself money!
Obama 2008-2012
RUNNING HER CAMPAIGN THE WAY
GEORGE IS RUNNING OUR COUNTRY, IN THE RED.
Re Name this article
"Saudi Arabia trying to buy another president"
FOREVER! SHAME ON YOU CNN!! SHAME ON YOU... Why don't you report on BARACK HUSEIN OBAMA!! AAAHHHH!
NOW THAT IS DEDICATION AND LOVE FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE! ANYONE THAT DOESN'T HELP HER OUT WILL DESERVE WHAT GETS FORCED ON THEM....RADICAL, FLAG-HATING,WHITE-RACIST CHURCH GOING ,BAHAMA OBAMA. HIS IDEA OF FOREIGN RELATIONS WILL BE VACATIONING ALL OVER THE WORLD AT THE TAX PAYERS EXPENSE.
All you Obama supporters need to open your eyes, he is not suited to run this country. what in the world is wrong with you??!!!!!! For gosh sakes he wont even honor the American Flag, are you all nuts??!!!! He is never going to win, if he is the Dem nom., McCain will win and then we have another Rep., in the White House. Hillary is the only one that can win again McCain. And you mention her money..WHERE DO YOU REALLY THINK ALL HIS MONEY IS COMING FROM????? IT IS NOT FROM HIS YOUNG COLLEGE KIDS AND HIS OTHER SUPPORTERS, IT HAS TO BE COMING FROM OTHER SOURCES...FIGURE IT OUT!!!!
VOTE HILLARY
DEMOCRATS, IT IS TIME TO UNITE!!!
The superdelegates will start coming out for Obama now. We need to UNITE. Let us now forget the bitter fight and stand tall for our party, for the country, for the American people.
Don't forget... after last night, she can no longer claim more popular vote count... even if she counts Michigan and Florida (and zero votes for Obama in Michigan) she still trails in popular vote! (This from realclearpolitics.com popular vote totals).
Save yourself some money... drop out...
This just proves people have lost their faith in her. She should withdraw from the race and help to repair the rift amongst the Democratic party, by showing her support for Obama.
Obama '08
Somebody take off the ruby red slippers and let's move on...
Is this who we want running our economy?
Do all you Obama Fanatics really think he's going to be President?..... No Way!
WAY TO GO OBOMA. COME ON SUPER DELEGATES LETS GET THIS OVER WITH OBOMA NEEDS TIME TO GET HIS GENERAL ELECTION TOGETHER.
Wonder why they won't release the total fund raising since last night?? I doubt anyone would be impressed with a number that probably doesn't reach 6 figures.
Lesbians for Billary 08!
So sad, one of the three will be elected. I think I will become a Hermit for a few years and then see if the counrty is still here. None of the above looks beter as an answer every day.....Thats an idea, maybe no Pres for four years..we might decide we do not need one and just save the time and effort.
Can she really be this fixated on buying the White House? And for someone to be able to loan their own campaign millions at a time seems very much to fit the elietest mold she tried to throw on the guy who just paid off his college tuition a year ago. Shes out of touch. The fat lady has sung.
Obama 08
Maybe she can sell some of the furniture and dishes she STOLE from the White House when she and Bill left.
Put a fork in her. She's done!
Now she is begging for money. I she needs is the sign...Will Govern for Food. I am sure that all the people who have lost their jobs because of NAFTA will let her use theirs.
Obama should donate some of his money to her campaign. He will look like the gentleman he always is, win over some of her supporters, yet make NO difference to his nomination. Hee hee hee.
OBAMA 08! Woooh Hoooo!
I hear the fat lady preparing to sing.... let's hope this skinny _____ can sing along with her!
omg, she won't go away. i will supply the mirror and the garlic. my neighbor will supply the wooden stake and the cross
Hillary truly is a fighter with a whole lot of heart. My hat's off to her. Let's hope last night's results mean we're finished with the negativity from Obama and Clinton, and we're ready to take on McCain as a united party. THE STAKES ARE TOO HIGH!!!! We can't survive another four years of the Republicans!
Wow. She is slipping, folks. She keeps loaning her campaign money and can't even pay off vendors. This woman does NOT need to be in control of the US economy!
I'm a true Obama supporter and I hope Hillary is on the TICKET. Obama/Clinton 08 &12. The only way for real change, she has earned her way in this party.
OBAMA/CLINTON 08
Why Obama can’t close the deal ?
Obama spent 4-to -1 in Indiana
Last weekend he was campaign with family in Indiana
He work hard
He know he can win in North Carolina he won big margin that was expected
But he said Indiana is tie breaker then why he didn’t win Indiana
Some thing wrong some ware
Obama is what is not healthy for the party, if he takes the nomination then McCain is president, it is that simple. Where Hillary won they will not vote for Obama, that is clear enough.
Change, Hope, Change Hope and all you Obamafanatics buy into it, I don't.
Hey Hill!!! Turn out the lights ... the party's over!!!
To quote a few lines from some old tunes:
"–turn out the lights, the party's over"
"Money can't buy me love"
Now Hillary, Bill, and James Carville can apply for those jobs at Fox Network.
Tacky, tacky, begging for funds the way she did last night at the start of her post primary speech.
Democrats dont get divide, its clear that Obama going to get the nomination, now, please unite and see that democrats win the white house, not mcbush. We cant afford war for 100 years.
Let me ask you folks this; in an NFL game when the score is 50 to 7 and 30 seconds are left, why do they still go through the snaps? Simple, its not over till the clock reads 00:00. You can't win until you compete, so let Hillary compete until she can no longer compete wheteher because she runs out of her money, or its time for the Democratic National Convention.
'Its not the size of the Dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the Dog'.
give it up you disgraceful lady.
if you really cared for the poor as you are telling the media, you would give your stash away.
stop your lieing.
go away.
go to your kitchen and see how hot it really gets in there.
President Obama
Will you give your money to a candidate who can not even manage her campaign efficiently?
She is married to a slick willie who can talk poor old women and rural folks into voting for her, but money? No. They don't think they can trust her with their money!
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.
$6.4million?This is a shame.Why didn't you just ask Obama to teach how to raise money?
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.
Go Hillary – it's your money (and some of mine), it's legal – so whatzi problem?
it is time for Hillary to end this...Let's move on to support Barak in his presidency bid.
Wow thought her voters stood behind her..... So what happened to the 10 millions you got in one day HC ???
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.
Hopefully she'll pay her debts, once she either drops out... or, more likely, is forced out...
Hillary,
Will you loan me money so I can buy some gas? I know how much you care! LOL !
Its over the Hill now use your own money to help those in need instead of on yourself and your campaign which will never now get the nomination.
Hillary last night you knew it was over and we know aswell.
Why is it okay for Obama supporters to say nasty , sexist and racist things about Hillary and her appearance and Nothing is Ever said about Obama's appearance or that of his wife?
If you are the only one contributing to your campaign, take a hint.
The fat lady is humming loudly! The writing is on the wall!
Well, she is making history, win or lose, so I can see why she is staying in. The further she puses the easier it will be for the next woman candidate.
Hillary, Please save your money for the trial in the $17 million fraud suit that aims to expose an alleged culture of widespread corruption by the Clintons and the Democratic Party. Hillary! Uncensored – 6 Million Internet Views Stopped Hillary's Juggernaut on Google. You will need it badly.
Desperation is Expensive
She should keep her money or better yet donate it to a worthy cause that would resonate with her blue collar worker constituancy. Throwing good money after bad at a hopeless proposition does not make sense for such a smart lady. Obama 08'
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.
Wait, Hillary can afford to lend her campaign 11.4 mil and Obama is the elitist? I wonder how she's going to spin this?
How does she anticipate paying all this money off? Certainly not on the official Presidential salary! Further, Why does she want the office so badly? She's not getting my vote that's for sure.
Sen Obama`s impressive win last night was a repudiation of politics of personal destruction that the Clintons and Rethugs and MSM used against Obama through this campaign season.
Just get it, YOU CAN`T STOP THE SUNRISE.
It is light over darkness. It is hope over fear.
The world is waiting for the next POTUS .
SEN OBAMA IS THE ONE
Would people please stop complaining so much about biased coverage? This comes from all sides, and it's no more than transparent whining.
I really feel like this is the beginning of the end for her. I wanted to see her step aside but now I almost pity her. Good run, Clinton, but now is the time to heal the party.
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.
I am proud to support Hillary Clinton.
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.
she damaged her credibility with the gas vacation tactic – another "lie" to the American people.
good-by Hillary. leave now & save yourself big bucks.
Obama 2008
Sasha, give her a hundred bucks for me too! make it a thousand.!!
The time has come for her to throw in the white towel. The undecided Super Delegates need to cast their votes now so we can re-group as a party and take on the Republican Machine.
Yes we can!
Obama 08
Were the terms of her loan sub-prime?
Ya Blue Collar Hillary loans herself millions of dollars for a losing campaign... real fiscal responsibility in the tradition of Bush...
GO AWAY, HILLARY... YOU LOST
You have lost:
Money,
Votes,
NC,
your big edge in IN,
and any gain you made in PA.
Get Out, GET NOW! YOU SELFESS LITTLE PERSON!
she lost. get over it.
OH MY GOD!!! IT IS OVER HILLBILLY GO TO SLEEP. OBAMA 08 AND HILLARY OH NEVER.
We've tolerated her prolonged run in this race long enough. Now it is time for Hillary to drop out of the race. At this point, if she continues, she is only hurting the Democrat Party and her political career.
It's over for Hillary Clinton.
And her supporters think Hillary is a good candidate to handle our economy? She has proven the opposite by not being to handle the economics of running a campaign.
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.
Blowing it all away especially when she's obviously not wanted as President and when there are so many people floundering in today's economy. I'd grow on iota of respect for her if she would admit defeat and leave on her own.
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.
Hillary and Bush is two of a kind. They don't see thing as they are, but as the want them to be. Everybody with good sense know it is over. GET OUT Hillary!!!
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!!!
Folks, please, let's not spend time tearing down anyone.
Obama supporters admire and respect Obama for being able to adhere to a higher standard of character. Shouldn't the same philosophy and character be required of his supporters?
You're creating the same divisiveness you blame HRC for and it's not necessary.
Please think about the double standard you're creating.
Peace-
Obama 08
Husband was the former 'good times' president, the kitchen sink, the Bosnia lie, her first loan to the campaign, the awful Philly debate, the out of touch elitist remark, the gas tax stunt, another loan... and to think she could've run and won on name recognition alone! Seems "it's wiser to remain silent and be presumed a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt'"
Barackudaaaaaah!
How will her campaign pay her back? From the people's contribution??? And then she postulates concern for POOR people...I think her lobbyists freind will send the money for her campaign to pay her???/
What's with the loaning nonsense. If she believes in herself, she should spend the money herself.
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.
P.S You Obama supporter are great! Let's keep the American dream.
I guess money can and will but anything. Maybe if the supposedly Super Delegates were for a Democratic government then maybe they should speak up and end this farce. By the way, what makes their vote better than mine. Why do we (USA) push Democracy down the throats of other countries and we have to sit through this B.S.......
Obama: please give her 6.4 millions and let her go home
This is a risky behavious. Similar to voting for Iraq war or destroying Iran.
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.
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?
Maybe we need a HILLARY HOLIDAY !!!!!!!!
OBAMA 08
Romney funded his entire campaign . . .so what's the issue here?
Let this election play out.
HILLARY continue on . .you've got my money to finish this campaign to the end.
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.....
Wow!
She lacks judgement not to notice she can't win the nomination.
Lets all come together now. WE CANT HAVE MCCAIN(BUSH) policies. Hill gave it a good try and now we need to beat up Mccain. Please see the real story here and take this country away from the Corporate greed administration we have. GET WITH IT.
If she can't manage her campaign's budget properly, how does she expect me to believe that she would be able to manage America's money?
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).
Obama '08
Hillary please get of the race ,Please have a little common decency to give Obama credit for the kind of campaign he has ran. You loss NC and needed to win it to prove your point, 2 points is such a narrow win in IN that it did not make any statement. Rally around the front-runner please don't be selfish for once!!!
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. Anyone with a brain has already defected to the Obama camp. Evidently these loyalists aren't qualified to do the job. Sounds like the Bush administration.
she wants to manage the nation's money but can't manage her campaign's money. She needs to listen to the economists. Ready on day one! Broke on day 2!
Limbaugh is just a silly drug addict on the radio if anyone listens to him there on drugs
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.
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.
Poor Billary-she's able to come up with 6 mil and don't we all believe she feels the pain at the pump and the ignominy of home disclosure.
More phoniness and flim flam from the Mistress of Mendacity. It's over Billary--pack up your fraudulent schtick, divorce Bubba and ride off into the sunset with your lesbian lover.
Loan is a noun. Lend is a verb. Why do various news organizations not understand this?
Can you imagine what she would be saying if Obama was continuing to purchase his viability for candidacy?
An Obama-Sebelius ticket could help move this whole business forward. How about a discussion on looking forward, and dealing with the world issues the next President will face, while letting Hillary tour the remaining five states and Puerto Rico.
IT IS OVER LADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!!!!
Ding Dong....the witch is gone....which old witch?..the wicked witch! If she can't manage her own campaign finances, how does she think she is going to manage the country's? With a loan from Bill?
I said it before and I'll say it again, Clinton supporters make Dubya supporters look like Rhodes scholars.
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.
Why does she LOAN, why not GIVE like she has her supporters give her? At the end of the day the american people will have to pay her back that money. Shame on you Clinton.
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.
Good grief woman have you paid your campaign debts yet or is this just more money already spent?
And SHE wanted to manage the budget of this country.
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.
As someone else stated Where is Obama getting his money while gas is approaching $200 a barrel? Not broke college kids. Terrorist oil money over the internet. It's not rocket science to figure out how to make hidden online donations.
THERE YOU GO AGAIN. All you morons calling for Hillary to get out. I am so sick and tired of you that if OBAMA does win the election I will never vote Democrat again. 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. I'll tell you a man not fit to be president of these United States. DROP OUT OBAMA NOW BEFORE YOU ARE FOUND OUT TO BE WHAT YOU ARE. Osama Bin Laden man. HILLARY 08
I would like to loan her campaign a few bucks, what is
the interest rate on this type of loan?
I'm sure she's good on paying back her loans:)
Don't mind what these STUPID OBAMA people say about you, Hillary. He's NEVER going to win the general election. Rev. Wright, his pastor of 20 years, will resurface and then what will he do? Crumble.
Hillary is the best candidate to beat McCain. She will continue to fight.
Where are all of Hillary's supporters? Hillary probably never thought Obama would give her a run for money therefore all her big $ contributors maxed out in the beginning. Now as for the ordinary working people I have cant figure this one out.
OBAMA '08
I think this kills any credibility she may have had regarding economics. We don't need a president that doesn't know any better than to throw 6.4 million down a rat hole.
hillary needs to drop out and put those millions toward her campaight debt and get ready for the court (fraud case against peterpaul) in nov.
congraudulations barack
That is what happenes when you dont listen to economists and experts.
CANT RUN A CAMPAIGN, CANT RUN A COUNTRY !
Wow i feel pity for her ............. with you as Obama's VP he will clear your debt .....
TIME FOR US DEMOCRATS TO UNITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If she can't run her campaign, how is she going to run the country? Hillary, please go home now! Do we want Bill Clinton back in the Washington chasing interns?
Oh wow, this is not good. Some one speculated Senator H was haveing financial troubles.
Sounds like that money would have been better spent giving every one of her supporters 18 cents per gallon towards their gas purchases during the summer. That's the closest they'll ever get to a "gas tax holiday."
Obama will be the Dem Presidental Candidate and Billary will be the VP. His enormous, historical funds will cover her expenses for the remainder of the race (June-Nov)and she can pay herself back with the money she collects from June to Nov.
Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): A Win Win for the American people!
You people are morons. How you manage to type with drool on your keyboards is a mystery, but it probably explains the atrocious spelling and grammar.
Not going support obama. I call all Clinton supporters to vote McCain.
The dnc robed Hillary over MI and FL.
Has The Gimmick candidate announced she and Bill will travel to Iraq to suck up the oil, store it in their cheeks to get through Customs to help save the American people .0005 cents yet?
Hillary Clinton, The Gimmick Candidate
Bill and Hillary, The Gimmick Family
Do and Say Anything ‘08
She is like one of those zomies in a living dead movie. She just keeps coming at you even though her head is chopped off and her arms are missing.
David Chu,
What an excellent point!!!
Yeah, why doesn't she "donate" to the campaign like she keeps asking us to do?
ahem....I think this is appropriate....na na na na...na na na...hey hey hey...goodbye. Or if you prefer...another one bites the dust? Time to pack it in Clintonites!
She can still win, dont kid yourself people. It's dawnting, really steep climb to the sumit, but still possibe! Amazing how Barack had a great run, huge momentum BUT still behind in the ever so important Super Delegates. They will decide it, and it will be close.
I can't figure out who is more delusional, Senator Clinton or her supporters on this site.
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.
it isorth. I just gave her $500.00 more.
I am registred democrat. As long as she kills Obama I am happy.
Obama will be another disaster (like Bush) we do not need extreme president.
Whether she gets nomination or not. She is winner. Liberal media tried to kill her since begining. Media and democrats liberals will cry in Nov 08 When John Mccain is going to be President.
Hillary 08 or 12 ; Jonh M 08
LOANED HERSELF $6M?
WHO LOANS THEMSELF $6M? AN ELITEST!!
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!!!
GO OBAMA '08!!!!
What concerns me greatly about Clinton is that she is unable to run her campaign on a balanced budget.
Do we need a Commander in Chief who would have to lend herself $6.4 million when the 3 a.m. call comes?
She won indiana on a slim margin off of the rush limbaugh votes. she should step down.
to expat in London:
Obama does the same! He is dividing the country too! And reignited the racism.
I'm sure her 6 million will magically replenish itself after a few backroom deals.
That indicates she is a fighter.
She would make a good, strong president.
She is not a quitter.
She is experienced.
Hillary 08
Wow! I just made a $25 contribution....to Obama.
Obama'08
Never Surrender Hillary. Anomination for BHO is my vote for John McCain even if Hillary campaigns for the slimy slug
Eileen, Hillary in her dellusional world, where she wins the nomination then the presidency, will use an earmark to allocate funds out of the federal budget to pay her personal debt...now thats a good economic policy!!!
Obama people , you weak tards. I declare war on your feeble butts.
Hillary, you should have listened to the economic EXPERTS.
Since you say you do not listen to experts, may I ask who are the incompetent people that you are listening to?
wow, that's sad.....Time to get out while you can Hillary....
GO OBAMA!
She's giving herself a sub-prime mortgage to finance her out-of control campaign. Delusional and destructive. Stop her before she destroys the party's chances of winning the White House.
to 'sand':
Yes, Hillary's money must be coming from 'other sources'... can you say Saudi Arabia? Columbia? Kazakhstan? China??
Hillary is the only canidate! If Obama is the nominee, then this democrat wont vote and encourages others not to accept Obama for president.
NO OBAMA!
I am a Canadian watching these primaries.
Can anybody tell me how Clinton is going to get back the money she lends herself?
an Answe would be greatly appreciated.
The kitchen sink was a boomerang
How much of the $800,000 speaking fee from Columbia is going into Hillary's campaign? Isn't it against the law for a candidate to take money from a foreign government? Didn't they do this before with money they raised from the Buddhist Shrine? Where is the Justice Department?
Okay, it's official my candidate lost, but I won't vote McCain like most of the idiots here that'll cut off their nose to spite their face. I'm voting Democrat this year, the Republicans need to be given a time out to think about what they've done.
If the Obama camp agrees to pay Clinton's campaign debts, will Hillary FINALLY get out of this race?
Her vision proves is she is just like us. Having a hard time getting money to pay all the bills. LOL
She is robbing Peter to pay Paul or should I say robbing Bill to pay Hill.
Guys, this has got to end now. We are risking losing the presidency again. Hillary, you are tearing us apart. Please drop out.
I can't figure out who is more delusional, Senator Obama or his supporters on this site.
Shes behind on delegates and popular vote, she is out of contests, out of money and now she is out of time...
Time to go home Hillary...pick one of the many states you *grew up in *, pack your *carpet bags*, get in your flat bed truck and ride off into the sunset....
GOBAMA!!!!
Oh I am incredulous. I know she wants to be the first female President. But Obama has the team, the people, the funds, the delegates. You know, lets start working on our program to battle McCain.
Hillary, get real. It's time to pack up, dropout, go home.
Sasha, you and the rest of the simple minded Dems that will not vote for Obama, you are not voting against him you are voting against his skin color....STUPID!!
She loans herself the money. What is wrong with it?
Obama would never part with his millions. He just sucks them from people.
Yes you will Hillary!! At least she has it to give herself!!
Where is Obama getting his money????? It isn't from the blacks and the college students!!
Bye bye Hillary – thanks for playing.
Okay, Dems – rally behind Obama and stop this sour grapes "I'm voting for McCain" stuff. There is absolutely no way you want 4 more years of Bush, and you know it.
ANYBODY BUT MCCAIN IN '08!!
What for? This is a losing proposition....Can she just send her money to the victims of the cyclone in Myanmar? It would go a long way towards easing their pain and suffering.
It just seems really sad that she's using the emotions of those that follow her to extend the campaign so that she can pay herself back. Very sad. Clinton supporters unite with Obama supporters to change America.
With the way our economy is how can we expect her to run the country when she cannot keep her own campaign out of the hole.
... where r Hillary's supporters??... It's okey guys... take it easy. ... Barrak is there to pay her debts... But .. did u see her? How power hungry she is?... she still want to continue... shame!!
I think the BEST part of the coverage on CNN last night was watching the faces of all the "Closet Clintonistas" (Wolf especially!) as they had to report on the win of Obama in North Carolina and his closing of the gap in Indiana.. priceless!
Looking at last exit polls. Obama will not be winning in nov.
50% of Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama. I can't wait to see his losing ge speech has he go UH UH UH UH.
Talk about trying to buy your way into the White House
She is a very determined person, the better of the two candidates!
America needs a determined President who will work for the Americans on day one, not an talker!
Hillary makes me sick to my stomach. She has the gull to act like she is one of "us," and then the news comes out that she has lent herself $6.4 million.
I can't believe we have so many uneducated people in this country who fall for her nonsense.
If it weren't for the Republicans, she would have been burnt toast by now.
It is just getting sick how Hillary and her supporters think she is the heir apparent to the presidency and use the fact that Obama can't secure landslide victories against her and can't win the "states that count"...even when she can't win the majority of all the delegates OR the popular vote! 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).
Why doesn't she use her money for something productive?
Clinton supporters need to give it up. It's over. You lost. At least leave with a little bit of pride.
OMG!
SHE IS ADVERTISING HER
WEBSITE ON THE
CNN POLITICAL PAGE
ASKING FOR DONATIONS!
WOW!!!! I know it is hard for woman to give up on things they believe in, but HILL "LET IT GO"... Obama is the man!!!!
It's OK, may be next time.........
If she runs the White House like she runs her campaign the USA will go bankrupt!
MD, what choice had she but to beat Obama at his advertising and money game. She had always enough money to work on when she was a lawyer. She did not have to have the two land deals like Obama with Rezko. So, think deeper and see who is better for America?
i just find it great that despite the media telling everyone that everyone doesn't want obama – people still vote for him.
go people!
LOANED HERSELF $6M?
WHO LOANS THEM SELF $6M? AN ELITIST!!
MY GOODNESS PLEASE
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!
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.
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.
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 .
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????????
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.
Keep going Hillary! It shows your commitment to this country! You are a winner!
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.
I got it! Everyone should send in thier $30 Hillary was going to save you with the gas tax relief....maybe that will help her out!
Better have Bill write another book.
Hopefully the $28 dollars from her purposed Gas Tax Holiday will help her out.
Way to go Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!
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.
Having $6.4M to loan her campaign just goes to show how far out of touch Hillary is with the "average voter".
You Hillary supports think Obama supports owe you something????Please.
sasha: You can do what you want, but in the end I guarantee there won't be 50% of the former Clinton supporters crossing over. We are really tired of your threats. We know who the best candidate is, and we won't be threatened into accepting 2nd best!
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.
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!
Obama '08
Why bother? It ended yesterday.
why people are still voting for Obama? He has so much questionable on him. Wright, Rezko, Canada, and his claims, and hollow promises, hype, hope. Hype – hope =new dance?
The more the odds stack against her, the more she doubles down. That lady seriously needs to go to Gambler's Anonymous.
I want to know how is the $11.4M going to be paid back and at what interest rate? Don't think the American people would be very happy when they realize that she will actually make a profit on her money in the end...at the expense of her donors.
What a waste. Give it up for the good of the party.
Who is the elite now??..how many of us have $6,000,000 in the bank right now?
Thank you Pain-sylvanians and Idiotonians for not ending this sooner!
She is a joke!
Is Hillary staying in the race to hurt Obama's chances in November? It's no secret that McCain and Billary are tight so is that really out of the question?
The things that make you go hmmmm...
. . . . And she wants to be trusted with the country's money?
CNN, you need to shut down the ticker and posting and see if these Obama people will move to the streets with signs. Would probably attack Fox channel web site.
People talk about racism when over 90% of African Americans vote blindly for Obama...
Keep on attacking Hillary, people tend to make wrong choices. We know she is the best candidate...
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.
Obama 08
The Clinton Era is OVER.
Now all Hill needs to do is walk away with her head held high because she did a good job, and do the democratic thing and endorse Obama-Unite the party Hill, be the bigger person.
Obama 08!
Why ... something is fundamentally wrong with this process, her thought process, all the money. Why not just buy a horse farm and watch the horses from the porch?
Here is my thoughts:
Why can't SHE close the deal?
And who gave her the money to loan herself? Is this another way of hiding questionable campaign contributions?
We need the Godfather to end this. Where is Al Gore????
. . . Hillary now has to campaign outside on real stumps because she
didn't budget her money right. Now she wants to handle the country's
budget?
Sasha, what are you talking about? what you said makes no logical sense. Obama and his wife are destroying the country. Are you even in the country saying something as foolish as that. Who's in charge of the white house? who made $800K off some foreign deal? who is saying one things and doing teh other.
Wake up Sasha.....Paul vs. CLinton- check it out after you have some coffee
At this point she wants to buy her way in, this shows a severe case of ego and nothing else.
Give it up Hillary.
Obama has already bought and paid for the nomination.
The superdelagates won't dare vote for you over Obama.
It's called 'affirmative action'.
Hillary and her supporters live in another world. They refuse to accept reality. Funny how her supports won't provide her with financial support. What's up with that Clintonites? Why won't you?
Anya: $500.00??? A fool and her money are soon parted. If anyone else wants to donate $500.00 to Hillary, please donate it to me instead. I can certainly make better use of it than Ms. Clinton. I've said this time and time again since March. This race is over, Obama is the winner and the Clintons need to go away.
I love Hillary now, but she took a stomping last night. Don't worry Hillary, you can do it. Its like the Opra, its not over until she sings.
One voting block that is not being talked about is the spanish vote for the general election.After the way the Clintons treated our son, Richardson........whom do you think we would vote for........they called Richrdson Judas.......the bloggers here even insulted him.....????
Lets just say the big state argument held then, will it hold now???
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. Meanwhile MaCain gains grounds everywhere. Today, MacCain is talking convincingly about human trafficking and winning support. A word to the wise is enough.
You have a typo in your article. You Said "Presidential Racie", it shoudl be presidentail race without the i.
Money from the Saudi's is helping Hillary to keep on.
I don't understand
if she say obama out spent her on ads why is she running out of money and not obama.
OBAMA 08
How dare Hillary makes a demand for more campaign money during last nights speech while promoting a gas tax holiday. It sounds like a "giveth and take it away" scheme. Hillary is the ultimate panderer.
She represents the Blue-Collar Workers? How many of them can write three checks totaling $11.4 million?
NOW who's the "Elitist?"
This is not the person I want to steer our National Economy.
I don't see how people can tell Clinton to drop out. Why would you drop out when you're still winning states?
Never in my life did I think I would detest Hillary Clinton. But then, I didn't know she was going to turn into a republican.
Voters., , , , Would you hire this type of accountant to handle your bank
account, and other finances. If she's broke now, what do you think the
country would be in 2 years?
I guess Hillary would have to sell her home to run her campaign. Up Obama. !!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Yet another sign that the time has come for Hillary to fold her tent and go back to the Senate. We all need to join ranks behind our next president – Barack Obama.
It's kinda hard for Hillary to keep up with all that crack money going into the Obama campaign...
I am not prejudice. I love every color of people but I do not like Americans voting for a person because of color.
I'm going to take a page from the Hillary Economic playbook and lend myself $10 for lunch.
She lies, cheats, wants to change the rules, calls others names, then just pulls her checkbook out. She is completely mad. So add to my list elitist, the fact is most of us blue collar workers dont have 11 million dollars to throw away.
Has her campaign paid her back for the $5 million loan a few months ago or is she that much more in the red? Perhaps she'll go broke supporting her campaign?
Clinton supporters, I implore you to see that this race is over. It was a valiant effort on Hillary, but Obama is the nominee.
Her 109 million? She is going to need it for the Paul v. Clintons trial coming up.
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.
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.
Her ego is just too much-I'll bet she votes for McCain in the fall!
Limp, limp, limp. And this woman thinks she can manage our country? She can't even beat a competitor during some of her "best" weeks while he's had his worst. How strong of a candidate is that? I'll take a quarter of a million trouncing by a deserving victor rather than an eeked out win by an ego-driven, delusional millionaire who fakes and panders her representation of the common folks.
Just her way of doing business I guess... is this the way she'll run our economic situations of our country if she was elected? They say that if you want to know how a person treally operates... look at their checkbook!
These "loans" confirm how little she knows about economics. No bank in their right mind would loan money to a company that was so clearly headed down the drain.
Its called DESPERATE.
Please Hillary, save your money girl, it is over!
Between her campaign costs and her legal fees in the pending civil suit, she can't afford to be President!
god help you moron's !!!! how can you people want nobama to lead a nation; if you look at all the up coming countries in the world elect the best possible person. America is going for the guilt concious. And you moron complain why is the country going south. amazing when people decide to go south the real go south. enjoy every bit now as you moron would not have much later lololol.......................
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.
This from the lady who says she won't listen to economists, re the gas tax holidays!
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. I would have a little more confidence in your words if your own $ was at stake, rather than begging the little guy to fund your losing campaign.
Do any of you fools actually believe this woman? She panders to the same Washington politics of the previous few decades – give the Israel lobby anything they want (nuke Iran).
She isn't our President yet and she is already lying to us!! Dodging sniper fire, haaaah!
Ron Paul is our only answer.
Obama is 5 delegates away from having 50%+1 of the total delegates of this primary (Florida and Michigan have been excluded since before everything began and both candidates agreed to this)...it's time for Hillary to step down and start working to save this country.
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.
Also, really question the donors he's getting.
People fro Texas need to stop leaving comments-the "Texan for the naked truth is obviously an idiot...
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.
yikes!
Hillary should reach out to her old friend Norman Hsu for a loan. Hsu's is in jail but should be able to help again with his Chinese connection.
talk about throwing good money after bad! Oh well, she has piles of it, so who cares how she spends it! Maybe she's going to keep all the money she saves from the gas tax and use that for the American people!!
DANG!!!! I guess dreams of being the first "Woman" President cost a lot of money...and I only have to worry about gas money to drive 80 miles back and forth to work to make 19,000 a year. I guess I better sent Sen. Obama another $50 bucks so he can keep up with her.
I guess Mrs. Clinton decided to skip economics 101 while she was at Wellsley!
It's over!
The party is definitely over and the bill collectors are calling.
She gives to her own campaign and Obama gets money from oil company CEOs and drug companies.
Don't kid yourselves. Hillary's so-called "supporters" on this site are actually paid members of Hillary's campaign
Some leader – lousy president. Next topic....
Do we have to wait until the entire $109 million is exhausted?
Someone, please, stop this woman !
Obama-Clinton 08
It's too bad she doesn't have people on welfare throwing the tax payers money in her direction.
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.
Hey Hillary,
Maybe it is time to start listening to those economists?!
She cannnot manage her own campaign, and wants to run the country? It is time to unite behind the real nominee – Barack Obama!
"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.
She could have given 30 dollars to over 200,000 people with that money.
I thought that was what the people needed.
i know alot of people will be crying come nov. 4 more yrs. of bush and you'll asked 4 it. i can not stand to watch cnn when they have that jamal on there. i know that i won't be voting r my family. the reason obama has all that money is oprah
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.
Can you imagine what our economy would be like if Hillary managed to become president? She stated the other day that she doesn't listen to economists, and now she has to borrow millions of dollars to run her own primary campaign.. Hillary, put a lid on it... it's over.......
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.
This is what we in the common sense biz like to call "throwing good money after bad."
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.
Obama needs to bow out gracefully.
When it's all said and done, was it really worth it? Definitely not.
Yikes. She can't even manage her own multi-million campaign? What about the multi-trillion US economy? I don't know about Hill, folks..
Aren't you elitist if you can loan yourself 11.4 mil?
Well, if Obama gets the nomination, count me and my family out. My vote will be for mccain.
Running a campaign on deficit-budget? Well then she might as well be adding deficit to American economy once she is elected president and goes to war with Iran.
I'm getting really turned off by the smug Obama supporters. They remind me of GW Bush and they kind of scare me.
Please bow out now, and divert your efforts to raising money to pay for education in the US.
I am now voting for McCain..so are the people here in Florida.
Power is a powerful aphrodesiac , especially when it leads to " a pot of gold" as Bill Clinton found at the end of his term.
Hillary supporters, I think you should give Hillary some more money. Once you do that,explain how you need some help to pay our bills and keep your homes. If you can afford to keep giving her money go ahead.
OK Obama supporters; Be nice... We have to bring the party together. This fight is over. We are going to get our country back for all of us!
Obama 08
MAN! These Clinton supporters seem so "bitter"! lol
wyoming dem May 7th, 2008 9:48 am ET
If I was Chelsea I'd be pissed ….she's blowing her inheritance.
---------------------
Thanks for the Chuckle
)
obama will never be able 2 beat mccain, then what is going 2 happen 2 all those obama supporters, that r full of hatred. what has become of r country.
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?
OBAMA 08!!!!
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.
concerned citizen
She has only herself to blame.
Go Obama Go!!!
the pundits will never question her about this.
How can she fix the economy when her campaign is in such financial trouble?
Doesn't sound like shehas a good economic plan. Is this how she will solve our county's economic woes?
I guess my previous comment wasn't good enough. Bottomline, McCain gets my vote if Hillary drops out. So stay strong Hillary!
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?
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.
Want to wipe out the national debt? Have the tabloids CNN-MSNBC pay the treasury for all the free publicity they have given Borack Obama.
Go Obama! Break her bank and her back! she probably got all that money she has by ill gotten gains anyway.
Man, Hillary is like a gnat that you just can't keep from buzzing around you! Why won't she just go away! It's over, it's been over.
OBAMA 08
Why wasn't this loan disclosed before yesterdays 2 big electrions? Another coverup try by the Clintons.
why is she wasting her donors money? tsk tsk tsk...so much for fiscal responsibility.
To "Clinton Campaign Stole My Money". You are a liar, shame on you. This blog amazes me, all the hatred. Coming mostly from Obama supporters. This country is extremely sexist.
Game Over!!!!!!
I wish i could lend myself $100.00 dollars.
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? Had this been Obama what will the media say about his candidancy and electability? Besides, the amount is loan instead of donation. who is going to pay if she doesn't win?
Please let Hillary make her own decision. I think that she should get out of the race, but she knows better than me about politics. I just want a united Democratic Party.
Superdelegates, where are you? Step up and end her pain. She can't win. Chelsea, she's wasting your inheritance!
Just drop out Clinton. You have no chance. It's mathematically impossible. Unite around Obama and maybe some people may still respect you.
obama 08
This "loan-to-self" is just a reminder of her monomaniacal belief that she will prevail. Who else brought their checkbook to her party?
She might as well loan me $6.4 million–I have just about as much chance of winning as she does.
CNN= Clinton news network. Just say the word CNN,she looks like she is finished. CNN is the only network not putting the word out. "QUIT"
that just shows how much she wants to win and how much she wants to help
Don't worry, Hillary will bounce back. Her supporters will donate their rebate checks in lieu of doing those silly things such as buying food, gas, paying bills, etc. It will all be worth it when they begin seeing that .18 reduction at the pump next month.....NOT.
Stupipd Hillary is her play for power will hand the election to McCain.... what a stupid STUPID woman!
Hillary supporters should understand that soon Hillary will become the strongest supporter of B.O. !!!
So she's the new Mitt Romney. Except (as any smart business person), he knew when to drop out.
Hillary is going to show us how to balance a national budget by bankrupting her own campaign!
Maybe you should listen to some economists.......Oh wait, you already pissed all of them off with your gas tax hoax!
QUIT ALREADY! IT"S OVER!
All this demonstrates is that Senator Clinton is a disillusioned member of the Elite.
Hillary is very similar to Bush in that she will not listen to reason. It's time to bow out gracefully Mrs. Clinton.
It's nice to know that Hillary can relate to the "common" hard working blue collar workers by loaning herself 4.6M to fund her campaign. How many of us can do that?
you know whats reaally sad, how much money they both have waisted, but he waisted 3 times as much as her, i guess money wins and not the person
Today I read an article on the internet regarding Hillary's former pastor being sentenced to three years in prison for inappropiately touching a 7-year old little girl. How about that? Isn't is ironic that this news has NEVER gone nationally? Especially since the media has focused continually on Rev Wright?
It is amazing to me how american people still has that underlined prejudice. Politics in America.
It's like continuing to put money in the slots after you've lost a fortune, hoping you'll come out ahead.
McCain 08
I wonder why the die hard Hillary supporters don't it: She has no idea how to manage a campaign. So how do these folks think she'd be able to manage a country? By lying perhaps! 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.
Earth to Senator Clinton: You've lost.
PS .. We have had enough of a President who can't accept reality.
Put HER in charge of the economy ... But she said she would not listen to 'those' economists. Worked for George Bush after all for seven years.
It's over Hillary. Time to move on. There is an art to being able to bow out of something gracefully. Obviously, you have not figured that out either. Just like your inability to be sincere and honest.
The loans are not a sign of her commitment, they are a sign she should be committed.
Clinton supporters unite behind Obama and help us defeat the Republicans! Your own candidate will support Obama and you should as well!!
Obama 08
A fool and her money are soon parted. Maybe she should talk to Mitt Romney about how well it worked for him.
If she has no sense to get out right now, I don't want her as VP either, and to you Kyles who will not vote for Obama because you're upset Hillary lost, just take your ball and go home.
John McCain is the only one on the Republican ticket....he recieved 70% of the vote. He can't carry his own party. Why would a Democrat jump party lines to vote against their own interests, given that fact?
The loans are a sign of her financial inabilities and, given that she mistrusts economists in general, one could wonder how a Clinton presidency would look like...
To All Obama supporters:
Wow, if the numbers were reversed and BO was behind would you want him to drop out? I like Obama also but his supporters need to STOP HATING.
No more "wimps" in the White House!!!!! Wimps that sell our jobs for personal profit.
It has been reported that Hillary did not report 24 million dollars of their money.
i think it is time for hillary to stop and try pick up the V P position. for obama to raise more money means that she is over exprience to be the president. a woman president will be a problem anyway because when they make mistakes they blame men for it.
I am deeply honored that president and Mrs. Clinton care enough about this country that they would loan this amount of money to her campaign. It shows her committment to the cause of making America a better place for everyone and for future generations.
God bless you Pres. and Mrs. Clinton and thank you for all of the great things you have done for America.
Whoever is posting under my name, just quit it please ! Go get your own name !
Save your millions....there is no way you can catch up unless you destroy the democratic party......
How can someone be so selfish. She lost, now all she can do is waste more money and more time. I don't support Hillary or Obama, but she sure is dvividing that party like it or not.
whenever u are loaning yourself money...its never a good sign
just drop out already
Hillary –
Don't give up! We all know you are a tough fighter. Stay in the race. You deserve it!!! You are the one who can solve the problems for americans!
Hillary 08
This shows her comitment to keep getting donations so she can pay the bills she built up. If you can loan yourself 11.4 million, Im guessing you got more in the bank... a lot more.
Hillary ,Please can I borrow $40,000 from you,I need it to pay my student loan,and you seem to have excess $.
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?
Hey CNN, Sen. McGovern urges Sen. Clinton to get out of race.
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.
What an elitest.
Save your money honey.
McGovern just flipped to Obama.
to Bob (PA):
Why aren't all you Hillary supporters sending her money?
she is so bitter after IL and NC. I bet she was out of touch with Lake County IN.
Hilliary Clinton is a pompus idiot.
Throwing bad money after bad money. Get a clue Hillary.
I would guess the loans are the scorch and burn Obama so she can run in 2012... Power is more important than the people I guess...
hillary boody hand
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 love you Barack Obama! And michelle and the kids too
Hillary time's up....go home.
don't you think the 6.4 million would be better served if she donated it to charity or a worthy cause? There are many in this country that benefit more than a loan to herself...
Hillary "Huckabee" Clinton needs to quit.
HILL-A-REEEE HILL-A-RAAAW HILLAREEEE HILL A HA HA HA HA HA ha ha
Obama 08
Look on the bright side. If this gas tax relief goes through, she can loan herself another $30 bucks. Oh wait a minute, gas prices just went up to $4.25/gallon, there goes that plan.
Hillbilly –
I have $9,000 worth of debt from the lack of work because of this stupid war you voted for. Can you "loan" me some money???
What happened to all the African American votes for Hillary? and everyone else who fared so well in the nineties? I say, " how soon we forget". It's a shame that this has happened to Hillary.
According to Time magazine,George McGovern, who was supporting Clinton, has just announced he will now be supporting Obama and has called for her to drop out. What does that tell you?
It's OVER. Pack up your bags Hillary.
OBAMA 08
stupid woman. get the hell out of this before the Republicans claim 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.
cnn you are not fair.....u have become worst than Fox....
u never talk about mcWar ........
Hillary is really out of touch.
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.
It's really time for Hillary to step out with dignity and enjoy her life.
GOD Bless you all and GOD Bless America
I wish I could loan myself $6.4 million...this lady has no right to call anyone an elitest, are you kidding me?
Good bye. Mrs. Clinton.
Only the elite can loan themselves 11 million bucks.
NOMORE OBAMA BITTER,
I guess you did not get the memo, the people that are voting for Clinton were going to vote Republican in Novemeber anyway. You may have been the only one thinking that you were a democrat in the whole bunch.
To NAKED TRUTH:
The hate in you is amazing. Please get some help before it is too late.
One question obamabots. Name one thing he done in the senate that equals change. Thing is Hillary has the record of working across party lines , not noobama.
This news just came in seconds ago,another formal clinton's super-delegate defecting from clinton to obama,urging clinton to quit the impossible race.
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!
Save your money Hillary.
Ha,ha,ha,ha,ah! I just freaking love it!
I knew she didn't raised $10,000-million dollars after her small win in Penn-State!
Thank you North Carolina and Indiana!
Hillary ONLY WON Indiana by 2%!
Go Obama!
Out here in rural America, we call it throwing money down a rat hole.
Who is going to pay these loans back when she does not win? Stop wasting the DNCs money.
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.
Investigate Barack Obama's donations. Where did all his money come from? Where's the list of donors? Investigate the Gary Indiana voting irregularaties. Investigate Barack Obama's and his pastor subversive activities with Farakahn against the USA.
The vitriole spewing forth from the Obama supporters (or should I just call them Hillary haters) makes me so worred about our country. They seem far more concerned with blocking out a woman candidate, than electing the right person as President.
Its over. Get out and help uniting the party. And all you "life long democratcs" – vote for a democrat, do not talk trash about voting for McCain. Or are you really such democratcs???
americans keep your money in your pockets, the clintons aren't worth a spit.
Hillary can't get nominated, Obama can't get elected.
Superdelegates should all get behind Hillary and make sure Dems win the election this year.
Maybe she is planning on paying her loan off with her $600 stimulus check.
Well...it looks tha we must start organizing "Democrats for McCain"
The general democratic populace's verdict has been pretty convincing. Is there any........ any bit of reason for Clinton to hang on.
It's time for Democrats to start healing and uniting against McCain.
CNN investigate this please. Are you going to tell me that she is not going to repay back all these loans from the 20+ million she has in cash that she is not allowed to use in the primaries. Is this not the same as using it, which is against the rules?
talk about elitism ... you don't see Senator Obama reaching into his wallet and lending $11 million dollars to his campaign. and oh yeah, Senator Clinton is the "average American" ...
to all hillary supporters; give your money to your favorite charity!!
Hillary is LOANING her campaign the money, to be paid back with interest. She will be hitting up her supporters to pay off her investment.
This race is over...The fat lady is warming up her voice....She'll stick around to fund raise,but you would all be idiots if you gave these crooks any more money....Obama 08 and NO Hillary.
She's loaned herself $11.4 million and HE'S an elitist?
Anybody catch Bill's act during Hillary's speech last night? The guys out in lala land. Give it up Bill, the country doesn't need your ego trip anymore. It's time for a new beginning.
There's a problem if you're the only contributor to your campaign.
Talk about elitist. Not many common folk can pull $6 mil out of their checking account.
listen up all your Hillbillies out there, Barack is tha man!!!
Bob do yourself and everyone else a favor don't call yourself a democrat. the party doesn't need people like you at all.
Her campaign spends about $1 million/day. I hope she has another book in the works as the donations are now in the slim to none column. Maybe she could get a loan or at least some advice on how much to write her own checks for from Mitt Romney. She seems to be on good terms with the GOP and their playbook,
LOL Obama only won NC because of the African American support. If it wasnt for the 33% of them Clinton would have taken NC.
If it's illegal for an individual to give more then $2,300 how can she keep giving herself millions?
is this legal?
Barack Supporters – Let's all take the high road and stop slinging insults at her. She tried and she failed.
The funny thing is if she had just stuck to the issues and stayed on the high road too, she most likely would have won by now. Getting down and dirty in the mud when you see that the public wants to see change does not win you the big prize at the end.
LOL..LOL Imaginary queen has lost it again................
Limbaugh,s Operation Chaos won Indiana for Clinton, without it she would have lost!
What this proves is that she's running out of money. The race is over.
A good indication of support is how much money is being donated to your campaign. Clearly Hillary Clinton is one of the few people that still supports her... It's time to call it what it is Hillary.
And just think... all of her supporters who can't afford gas, food and she is asking for more money!!!
Go Obama!
Where is all this money coming from that Hillary is loaning herself.... There should be some legal documents on this.
The only thing bigger about Hil liar y than her ego is her pantsuit.
Drop out now.
As a one time Clinton enthusiast, there came a point where her campaign gave me a feeling of sadness. The feeling is now starting to turn to pity. In the name of personal dignity, it is time for Hillary Clinton to look reality in the face.
Finally a presidential picture of Hillary gets posted on CNN.
Interesting how she calls Obama an elitist and describes herself as one of the blue collar down home folks! How many blue collar folks have even 1 million dollars never mind 6 million dollars available to loan to yourself. Absurd!
Maybe she can repeal the gas tax to pay for it!
Look at the divide between blacks and whites. Obama is not electable.
Don't give her any more money, it only encourages her.
We need to starve the beast.
I like that she is willing to put her money where her mouth is. Every state should feel that their vote counts. Having her in the race is going to bring even more new voters into the democratic party.
She is brilliant. She knows that she is going to lose, but is willing to invest her own money in order to get more people involved in the process. This is really going to pay off in the GE.
I am amazed at the brilliance and selflisness of this woman.
How is she loading herself $11 million? I know that I don't understand this process at all. Is she expecting someone to pay her back the money that she lend herself? Someone, please enlighten me.
Is she that hungry for power? Everyone knows she can't beat Sen. Obama in delegate count!
What is she doing?
Obama '08
One word and one word only describes her...diabolical!!!!
I know this willl be left in CNN's moderation grave-site, but had to get if off my chest.
Great job to those in NC and Indiana, I say let Hillary continue the madness, maybe she will cut into Chelsea's 600 000 dollar income and ask for a loan. In reality its time for the DNC leader to get the leash and get the pitbull undercontrol!!!!
Hillary is always copying Obama's words!
Her campaign is clearly running out of money and she's not winning! If cant figure out, its time to QUIT, then she is a BAD politician! She is not worried with you! Its ALL about BUSINESS to her! She needs to pay back the lobbists.......thats clear! And if u elect her, then America is the DUMBEST nation in the world and u deserve all u get!
Hillary Clinton should use her tax relief check to give her campaign a boost because she is toast. Lady, you ARE NOT GOING to get the nomination unless you steal it. Have you thought why Senator Obama keeps getting donations of less than $100? Because he is for the people and by the people.
she obviously lied about recieving 10 million $ in donations in 24 hours after PA
no wonder 61% of USA believe she is dishonest
What a waste of money. God forbid she put that money to good use and donate it to a charity or something.
What is she doing. Why is she still in the race? I am sure she has no clue what she is doing
Gotta know when to hold em , know when to fold em!! – Kenny Rodgers, The Gambler
Mc Cains wife loaned/donated money to his ailing campaign and FERC made the campaigh pay it back as even spouses have a limit on what they can "donate" to the cause!
Didn't the "filly" Hillary stated she wanted to win the Derby this past weekend , break both front legs and was euthanized on the tracks?
Can the same be said of her campaign? It needs to be euthanized!
Wow thats a lot of money and a possible waste of money. I have a feeling she's going to end up like Romeny no nomination and no money.
"The total amount of money she has lent herself to $11.4 million." Meanwhile, Barack Obama keeps setting records with the amount of money coming in every month. Here's a clue, Hillary... your campaign is a failure.
Obama again overspent and still loses.
Hillary won consecutively in Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvannia and Indiana while Hillary cut Obama's lead in North Carolina from 20% in February down to 14% only.
Good job Hillary. Wake up superdelegates!
I'm an Obama supporter who is ashamed at the way fellow dems are bashing Hillary and/or threatening to vote for McCain. Have you lost your minds? The enemy is neither Hillary nor Barak, it's McCain and the republican machine. Should you side with him over sour grapes you become as big a threat to living things as he is.
Get a grip!!!
Well, it looks as if we are going to have four more years of the GOP in charge. How sad, in a year we should have won hands down! 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.
This is really INSANE!!! She can do a lot of good with all that waste!
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.
like a Vegas slot machine... odds are down yet she keeps putting the coins in!
(can't learn from her mistakes)
This is just embarrasing and sad to see her stoop to this level.
Just visually looking at that amount of money makes me sick. Yet we're headed towards a recession, gas and food prices are out of control. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer! Sad but true
Nina<
AMEN!! I couldn't agree with you more!!! What nerve to ask for donations from people who are hurting..It only goes to show who this campaign is all about...What a loser!
Only an elitist can loan that type of money.
She's a fraud.
Should have used it for protection against sniper fire.
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.
Chee, wish I had $6.4 million to loan to myself.
honestly, i am impressed by her willingness to put her own money into it. it speaks alot abt how convicted she is abt this race. go hillary!
I will NEVER vote for Obama. Until he has the total delgates needed she should continue to fight!
Wait...she wants to buy herself the presidency...and when she loses she wants Obama to pay off her loan??? That is ludicrous.
I hope suppliers in the next few states make her pay in-cash and up-front before they find themselves out-of-pocket when her campaign finally ends and she declares herself bust. There are still people in Iowa waiting to be paid, 5 months later.
What is it with this woman and her ego that will not allow her to exit gracefully? Now her only motives are to damage Barack – she has no chance of winning – her campaign is broke – what's the point?
Hillary is so desparate for money she's thinking of marrying Mit Romney! Hey, he's a Morman; it could happen!
Hillary is the most qualified to be president.
Voting for Obama is guaranteeing that McCain will win.
Wake up people, there's still time!
Obama does not know what he's doing and is preying on the good natured spirit of Americans and Hillary knows this!
Go Hillary!
2008!
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???
She won't give up. It's all about the power. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.
What is she planning on doing...Buying here way into the White House. She can't manager her "own" campaign. How can she say she can manage the ecomony. Come on Hillary supporter take the blinders off. We need to unite behind Pres. Obama!
Thank god for all the gang money from the Lippo Group.
Hillary, why don't you explain to everyone who the Lippo Group is and how much money they have given you and Bill ?????
Well, the Lippo group is a bunch of thiefs and drug lords that have a habit ( so to speak ) on loaning the Clintons money..........
Voter fraud in IN and NC some black people votes many time need to check it out DNC. Look Lake County some black people live in Chicago
still vote in there this is fraud.
Don't quit Hillary! Don't give up! I will send more money when I can. The hard working, disable and elderly don't have as much money as Obamas supporters but you are our champion! We will NEVER vote for barack obama! We NEED you to keep fighting! You are the ONLY hope for our party! If You quit or lose I will go Republican before supporting the choice of the muslim terrorists!
why not just loan it to hurting hard working americans, give us few cents relief in the gas pump
People,
Enough with the anti Clinton talk. We have won. All you are doing now is angering her supporters. Please try to be more gracious.
Is this amount included in the 10 million they supposedly raised right after Penn? it wouldn't be like them to mislead the public would it?
It must be nice to have that kind of cash on hand, Oh-I forgot, shes 100,000 dollars rich!!!!
She is spending her own money what’s bother you all
Can you all shut up
Hillary 08 or Mc Cain 08
Did she take the loan out against her 401K plan? that's not even vice president material. OBAMA '08!!!!!!
Hilary, dont give up dont give up still fight. Obama is nothing
Hillary should just donate that money to charity instead of her own, doomed campaign. I have never seen that much money WASTED at one time!
Her next big mistake??? She will now press for the vice presidency!!!
Everbody, excpept her, knows that is a stupid idea.
Isn't it about time for Hilly to shed a few more of her phoney tears as she puts on the 'Poor Hillary' act?
To whom it may concern, Please post my last comment, as I have supported Mrs Clinton for many yrs now, and truley believe in her. I think I have made an honest and to point comment. For you to censer me, because you don't agree with my opinion, is not proper. Why would you stop me from posting? last post about 9am pacific time.
This is doing her more harm than good. You look foolish running for the presidency and your campaign finances are in the red.
This is downright foolish at this point!
Yes where Barack gets money of course from mafia
She's kind of like that guy who can't take a hint after he buys you a drink.
She is self centered and is about the only one who believes that she can win.Obama has not had problems raising money.Doesn't that make her an elitist?
Hillary ran a strong campaign. She's not who we want this time. It's time to face reality, I pray we unite and tear down McCain in the fall.
She claims to be strong on the economy yet she can't manage the finances in her own campaign.
Time to go home, Hillary. You've lost.

I'm a democrat who will vote for McCain or not vote at all, because I'm sick of all the nasty comments from the Obama supporters. He has it in the bag, but his supporters continue with their nasty, mean, downright hateful, cruel comments. They should be ashamed of themselves! Now they want the Clinton supporters to forget, forgive, and vote for Obama. Well, that's not going to happen!
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.
Clinton first, McCain second...
CNN is Obama supporters. What do you expect? All comments here have been selected to post from a most biased media! I will not switch to Fox News! Hope your chanel will go down the tube!
It's seems like her incentive to stay in the race at this point is only to get her supporters to pay off her debt.
Go Hillary!
Still won't vote for Obama no matter what happens. Not impressed.
can she lend me this money to start a home for desperate housewives?
Sharon Minnesota : Where did all his money come from?
hahahaha, look at the millions of people donating to Obama. We are everyday people supporting him. Hillary, time to pack it up.
Can we get together and unite. Obama is ready to be the next president. I also heard that Hillary is trying to have as many fundrasiers as possible to regain some of her money back. THis is a shame.
Joyce, I am not African American, but let's not kid ourselves. Prosperity
in the nineties was a result of the Genius of Alan Greenspan, and not
Bill and Hillary.
Please stay with it Hillary....the Republicans will plow Obama under and we will be in the same place for the next four years....Please Please stay with it or go independent in the fall. YOu will win!
she is so obsessed with being in power.
Senator Clinton, you have a problem. Please save your money for retirement.
I Commend Mrs. Clinton for an energetic campaign but I think it time for her to be gracious and bow out .
Can Clinton use the funds that she has raised for the general election to pay herself back?
Clinton is one desperate to loan herself $6.4 mill!!! She is wasting her money!!!
We don't listen to no stinking economists and we don't care about fiscal responsibility. The goal is in sight and we ain't quitting. West Virgina be warned your life depends on voting for Hillary.
WOW....I know Barack wishes he had $6.4 million to loan his campaign. WHO'S THE ELITEST???? Barack will be in the White House and Hillary will still be running. HA HA HA!
At this point, anyone who donates to her campain is only helping her to pay HERSELF back to re-pad the millions in the bank, not to win the nomination.
We're at the point now that watching the Clintons try to continue is like watching a train wreck. It's very painful to see!
Can Clinton use the funds that she has raised for the general election to pay herself back?
Experience to tackle record economic conditions in US history starts with little as a campaign and successful campaign fund management. Obama '08!
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Hillary my contribution is on the way!!!
Nice to see that you are willing to use some of your money on this fight..
I know that when the superdelegates examines what is required to win in November, it is clear that Hillary will be the one.
Hillary will win!!
Wasting an additional $6.4 million in a lost race...what a stupid idiot.
If she believes in herself so much and wants the presidency so bad why is she lending her campaign the money and not just giving it to her own cause? Will she pay herself back with new contributions? Or will she finally quit when she recoups her money. I remember Ross Perot giving millions to his own campaign when he was running.
Obahma is a liar and just another politician who will say whatever he thinks the people want to hear.
Interesting that she "loans" her campaign money while asking everyone else to GIVE money. Doesn't she believe that she should contribute or that it is a good investment?? Guess not if you have more than 100 million and can ask the guy on the street making less than 50 thousand to give up a meal for his kids to make a difference.
All you Obama supporters are extremely short-sighted. He rants about change...anyone can do it; its not rocket science. How knowledgeble are you on his stance on immigration, the Middle East crisis, revamping the education system, huh? Use your mind and stop jumping on the Obama bandwagon.
Its time to go into that goodnight...........
She is spending 6.4 million of her own money, to get a job that pays $400,000 a year??? And then on top of that insanity, she is charging her supporters interest for a loan made to herself, by herself, and for herself?? Maybe Dr. Phil should pay Hillary a visit!
the door is closing billary! catch it befor it close what better way to saw the world you cannot run your own campaign. how in the world you are going to run a usa,the lying and fakery is done stop while you got enough to retire on
The real question is what's next for HRC? Is she brokering for Senate Majority Leader, Chief Justice, Governor of NY? She is pushing the linits of this campaign to broker her next job, there is no other plausible reason. Like her or don't- I don't – but she is intelligent and crafty.
hey, the MEDIA can squeeze more money out of Hillary...keep the circus going.
Billary – the voters have spoken. Sit your elitist self down somewhere. If she somehow wins the nomination (steals it rather), I'm crossing party lines & voting for McCain. I would rather see a another republican in office than her!!!!! So I say proudly "OBAMA 08" !!!!!!!!
This is all about Hillary...not her less-than-genuine concern for the constituency. She desparately wants the power of the office and can't let it go no matter what mess she leaves in her wake
All I know is, if Hillary is not on the ballot in November, then I am voting John McCain. No Husseins in the white house.
Hilary and her campaign have become frivolous.
This is a symptom of campaign death. A sign of the apocalypse for the Clintons.
Hillary has that kind of money and calls Obama 'elitist' ???
Get real Hillary!
You do not represent the average American because the average American is not a millionaire!
Obama, don't make this woman your VP!
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.
She just doesn't get it. This country is done with the devisive nonsense of the Clinton/Bush years.No matter how much money she throws at her campaign, the 'me' generation is getting booted out of presidential politics. THANK GOD
Way to go Hillary I am going to donate again. This clearly shows her dedication to the American people of what this means to her.
Stop... Just stop.... I think we all need to refrain from posting for a day. Just one day..... stop and reflect.
Democrats United '08
Great, more dirty money influencing the process. How did I ever vote for this awful person(Clinton)?Why is she still doing this the election is over?
Sasha, Anya, DCer, and others...just remember you're backing the loser.
This is a once in a life time chance to make real change for all of the people. Hillary will still be campaigning when they are swearing in Barack in January. Bill Clinton ought to be defeating anytime to Barack Obama. YES WE CAN united together.
Isn't it supposed to be all about the people?
Please stop doing this to us, Hillary!
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?
Hillary, stop going in the hole...Drop Out Now! Save yourselve whatever money you have left. People know what you're about and. Let's face it, we don't like you or your tactics.
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.
Clinton I suggest you give up before its to late. You're going to have to back obama sooner or later.
GTFO the race.
OBAMA 08!!
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.
OK let's all admit this race is over. It is time to stop fighting each other and prepare for the democrats victory in November.
Ross Perot resurrected! Those who think having the money to throw around equal to having what it takes to lead others.
