Clinton has loaned her campaign a total of $11.4 million.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

the bank of hillary… can I perhaps refinance my mortgage at a lower rate?

Justin   May 7th, 2008 9:21 am ET

Ouch. Might as well just throw the money away.

American Girl   May 7th, 2008 9:22 am ET

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

Tony Z- MD   May 7th, 2008 9:22 am ET

And she wants to reform our economic situation.

Marshall in Nebraska   May 7th, 2008 9:22 am ET

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.

rj   May 7th, 2008 9:23 am ET

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.

Jay Shah   May 7th, 2008 9:23 am ET

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

Philadelphia, PA.   May 7th, 2008 9:24 am ET

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.

Jeff D, South Bend, IN   May 7th, 2008 9:24 am ET

Deck chairs. Titanic.

Chris, Middletown, CT   May 7th, 2008 9:24 am ET

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")

Rebecca   May 7th, 2008 9:24 am ET

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.

MI White Woman 4 Barack   May 7th, 2008 9:24 am ET

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!

Tee   May 7th, 2008 9:24 am ET

AND HER SUPPORTERS WILL HAVE TO PAY HER BACK.

Superdelegate   May 7th, 2008 9:24 am ET

Ouch, talk about a bad investment.

mama4obama   May 7th, 2008 9:24 am ET

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

Ian   May 7th, 2008 9:25 am ET

I wonder where she got the money???? Release your taxes Hillary!!!

Will c   May 7th, 2008 9:25 am ET

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!

Tiachi   May 7th, 2008 9:25 am ET

LOL… what else can she do?!?!?

She has no choice.

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

Bob (PA)   May 7th, 2008 9:25 am ET

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.

MI White Woman 4 Barack   May 7th, 2008 9:26 am ET

Talk about an ELITIST!

Barack Obama 08!

Johnny Boy   May 7th, 2008 9:26 am ET

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cammi317   May 7th, 2008 9:26 am ET

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

Fazio   May 7th, 2008 9:26 am ET

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

CNN for McCain?   May 7th, 2008 9:26 am ET

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.

wes   May 7th, 2008 9:26 am ET

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?

nina   May 7th, 2008 9:27 am ET

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.

Go Obama   May 7th, 2008 9:27 am ET

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.

LifeLongDemocrat   May 7th, 2008 9:27 am ET

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

Hillary 2008/2012>>>>>>>>>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mcd   May 7th, 2008 9:27 am ET

Maybe her pal Rush Limbaugh (the only reason she won Indiana - by less then 2 points mind you) can give her some more cash.

Right wing conspiracy   May 7th, 2008 9:27 am ET

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

Debbie   May 7th, 2008 9:27 am ET

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.

Zoey   May 7th, 2008 9:27 am ET

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.

wow   May 7th, 2008 9:27 am ET

lol……..Blue collar who?

Kimberly in Texas   May 7th, 2008 9:27 am ET

Go away Hillary!!
You lost!

Judy   May 7th, 2008 9:28 am ET

Funding her own VANITY. LOL

GO HOME HillBilly, it's OVER

monica   May 7th, 2008 9:28 am ET

put a fork in it, billary, you're finished!

Eddie   May 7th, 2008 9:28 am ET

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.

Michael in NC   May 7th, 2008 9:28 am ET

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?

kobs   May 7th, 2008 9:28 am ET

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.

Nikki, Florida   May 7th, 2008 9:28 am ET

This woman is unbelievable…what a joke

Hilton   May 7th, 2008 9:29 am ET

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!!!!!!!!!

brian bernard   May 7th, 2008 9:29 am ET

IF SHE DIDNT HOW ELSE SHE WAS GOING TO PAY HER PEOPLE .AND HER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR FREE FOR A LONG TIME

fontapa   May 7th, 2008 9:29 am ET

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.

Sue   May 7th, 2008 9:29 am ET

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.

Mulder   May 7th, 2008 9:29 am ET

Oh…poor hillary..
Honey please don't get into more trouble..ur campaign has already broken..bow out gracefully

kissnahug   May 7th, 2008 9:29 am ET

LOL…Just get out the race and save yourself $6.4 Million. What happened, your supporters aren't giving you any money?

TESAP   May 7th, 2008 9:29 am ET

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……..

WE NEED THE TRUTH   May 7th, 2008 9:29 am ET

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

Ross   May 7th, 2008 9:29 am ET

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."

ron bergman   May 7th, 2008 9:29 am ET

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?

LT for Obama   May 7th, 2008 9:29 am ET

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.

hakeemsdad, Florida   May 7th, 2008 9:30 am ET

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!".

Obama Nation   May 7th, 2008 9:30 am ET

One more Mitt Romney story.

Its over Hillary. Get out…

Jamaal Kansas   May 7th, 2008 9:30 am ET

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.

It's Time To Give It Up   May 7th, 2008 9:30 am ET

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.

silas   May 7th, 2008 9:30 am ET

This is ridiculous, just call it quit Senator Hilary Clinton

ralph tyler   May 7th, 2008 9:32 am ET

We already have a President that is in denial. We don't need another one.

Paul   May 7th, 2008 9:32 am ET

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.

Nora, FLORIDA   May 7th, 2008 9:32 am ET

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.

Niel, NY   May 7th, 2008 9:32 am ET

looks like Bill have to give more speeches in favor of China, Columbia etc. to maintain $110 millions.

Whiskey   May 7th, 2008 9:32 am ET

no other intelligent person would

MC, Pa   May 7th, 2008 9:32 am ET

A gambler sliding into abyss.

Derrick in Houston, TX   May 7th, 2008 9:32 am ET

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

Chris   May 7th, 2008 9:32 am ET

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

Blake   May 7th, 2008 9:33 am ET

I have a feeling the heat from hillary supporters is about to simmer down now!

Sam   May 7th, 2008 9:33 am ET

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!

Bob   May 7th, 2008 9:33 am ET

So that's how she managed to take in $10 million in 24 hours after the PA primary!

Joe   May 7th, 2008 9:33 am ET

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.

Dave   May 7th, 2008 9:33 am ET

Is this not a sign of fiscal irresponsibility? How can anyone vote for somebody who makes such terrible investment decisions?

Tom   May 7th, 2008 9:33 am ET

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!!

calvinator7   May 7th, 2008 9:34 am ET

I think this turkey is done!

Brenda, NC   May 7th, 2008 9:34 am ET

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.

Anonymous   May 7th, 2008 9:35 am ET

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!

Obama mama   May 7th, 2008 9:36 am ET

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!

Jim   May 7th, 2008 9:36 am ET

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

tidho   May 7th, 2008 9:36 am ET

I just looked up 'bad investment' in the dictionary and…

curli   May 7th, 2008 9:37 am ET

OMG!!! and the rich keep getting richer……maybe she will use those millions to solve the country's health insurance woes….YEAH, RIGHT!

WeLuvObama   May 7th, 2008 9:38 am ET

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.

Thomas   May 7th, 2008 9:38 am ET

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.

Dee/Warwick   May 7th, 2008 9:38 am ET

Was that $6.4 million a part of the $10 million she claimed to have raised after the Pennsylvania Primary?

Bobby tray   May 7th, 2008 9:38 am ET

Wow. She might really be like millions of us when this is over. . . poor and no job

Arthur   May 7th, 2008 9:39 am ET

Voters are making it clear who they support! The Clinton camp is finished!

independent   May 7th, 2008 9:40 am ET

hillaty clinton is hillarious. why is she hurting DNC?. she knows that she cannot win.

Independent   May 7th, 2008 9:40 am ET

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!

its Over   May 7th, 2008 9:41 am ET

Yihaaaaa!!!!

How does President Obama sound? Mighty sweet to me!

Ron Paul Supporter   May 7th, 2008 9:42 am ET

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 !!!

Jen   May 7th, 2008 9:42 am ET

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.

Fletch   May 7th, 2008 9:42 am ET

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?

Adam, Houston, TX   May 7th, 2008 9:43 am ET

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

Terry   May 7th, 2008 9:43 am ET

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!

Dennis, NY   May 7th, 2008 9:43 am ET

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

Florida democrat   May 7th, 2008 9:43 am ET

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!!!

fred   May 7th, 2008 9:43 am ET

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!!

ezaykiel   May 7th, 2008 9:43 am ET

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.

North Carolina   May 7th, 2008 9:43 am ET

Hillary can’t even run her campaign in the black, how does she expect run the country?

Debbie   May 7th, 2008 9:44 am ET

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.

A.K.   May 7th, 2008 9:44 am ET

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?

Too   May 7th, 2008 9:44 am ET

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.

Mr X   May 7th, 2008 9:44 am ET

Go Hillary !! Dig up some more dirt on him, he's not fit to lead …….!!

NormK   May 7th, 2008 9:44 am ET

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.

JC   May 7th, 2008 9:44 am ET

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.

Josh   May 7th, 2008 9:44 am ET

Keep Fighting Hillary!!

Disunity!
Hillary 08!!

Lynn in NM   May 7th, 2008 9:45 am ET

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!

mimi de la cruz for OBAMA   May 7th, 2008 9:46 am ET

CAN'T RUN A CAMPAIGN. CAN'T RUN A COUNTRY.

gerald strother   May 7th, 2008 9:46 am ET

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

Kevin Leo (Jonesboro, GA)   May 7th, 2008 9:46 am ET

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!

Preston   May 7th, 2008 9:46 am ET

Not all Obama supporters are mean and nasty, as many Clinton supporters feel. I have been Pro-Obama for years but have been willing to vote for Clinton if she were to be the nominee as she is more aligned with what we need compared to McCain. If you really want to punish the party, just waste your vote on Nader.

Now it appears Obama has clinched it. Accept it. Further bickering does nothing to solve the situation we're in. I honestly think Obama has been pulling punches and once he gets the nod he will unload on John McCain… who is the real battle we have to fight.

My only question to those who think Obama should pick Clinton as VP, How is she going to explain her stance for the past few months? Claiming he's weak and unelectable, among other things.

I personally hope he picks either Kucinich or Edwards — both of which are more aligned with Obama's message.

NOMORE OBAMA BITTER   May 7th, 2008 9:46 am ET

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).

Sharon   May 7th, 2008 9:46 am ET

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.

Colie Brice   May 7th, 2008 9:46 am ET

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

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

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

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

Jake   May 7th, 2008 9:46 am ET

Laugh all you want but it will probably be the Obama supporters who have to pay for Hillary's debts.

George, Mason NH   May 7th, 2008 9:46 am ET

"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.

Ex-pat in London   May 7th, 2008 9:47 am ET

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.

KH   May 7th, 2008 9:47 am ET

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.

S   May 7th, 2008 9:47 am ET

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?

Jay   May 7th, 2008 9:47 am ET

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.

Allen TX   May 7th, 2008 9:47 am ET

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.

David King   May 7th, 2008 9:47 am ET

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.

Eileen   May 7th, 2008 9:47 am ET

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?

Q   May 7th, 2008 9:47 am ET

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!

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!

Martha   May 7th, 2008 9:47 am ET

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.

lisa in charlotte, NC   May 7th, 2008 9:48 am ET

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…

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…

But he said Indiana is tie breaker then why he didn’t win Indiana
Some thing wrong some ware

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

I am proud to support Hillary Clinton.

t-bone   May 7th, 2008 9:56 am ET

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.

Obama Fan   May 7th, 2008 9:56 am ET

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.

Sam   May 7th, 2008 9:56 am ET

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.

Lindsay   May 7th, 2008 9:56 am ET

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).

Bryan, Scranton PA   May 7th, 2008 9:56 am ET

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!!!

atypical white person   May 7th, 2008 9:56 am ET

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.

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.

Clinton Campaign stole my money   May 7th, 2008 9:56 am ET

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?
