Expect to see Debt-gate starting tomorrow.

Guaran-damn-teed.

She cannot continue to sustain her campaign. I bet she's already HEAVILY into debt by another 15 million on top of what she already owes and does not have the funds in place.

That will be Clinton's undoing, and will have to drop by April 24th if she cannot win PA by the baseline number of 18%.

Fundraising would have to be tighter than a nun's asshole from this point on - if EVERYONE knows that Clinton can't even manage the money properly.

Apologies to nuns (or ex-nuns) who read this OP.

1. Everyone loves the underdog.

[Tatiana]

Will everyone donate to the underdog is the question. n/t

[thoughtcrime1984]

13. I don't think a candidate in debt is endearing to the SD's. It doesn't show strength

or a responsible campaign.

[GarbagemanLB]

3. as long as the underdog can pay her bills...

[Ichingcarpenter]

5. But when the dog has terminal symptoms

you sometimes need to put it down sadly.

[quantass]

7. .

[intaglio]

24. Wrong - most people seem to despise Hillary n/t

[virtualobserver]

2. Hillary will spin it as proof that she understands what the average american is going through

she is even more in debt....and therefore feels the pain of the American people.

[babylonsister]

8. This cracked me up! Yep, that's the ticket! nt

[Arugula Latte]

11. but, simultaneously, she's the one to get those pesky national deficits under control

[krkaufman]

19. hillarious. n/t

[writes3000]

4. That's why the waited until the last minute to submit. They're trying to minimize the damage.

Monday is going to be a news feast on this, I suspect.

[Barack_America]

17. Yep. They waited until the papers went to press...

Unfortunately, that just means that this will be the front-page headline on election day.

This really looks bad.

[DJ13]

6. Well, that depends

The MSM is rooting for Clinton in order to

A) Keep the race going for ratings

and

B) Because they really want to give McCain another 3 months running uncontested to help him overcome the disadvantage any Republican that supports Bush will have in the GE


In a just world, with a truly unbiased MSM, you would be right as it IS news.

But dont expect them to do much reporting of Clinton's finances, as that defeats both points above.

[babylonsister]

12. I think they have no choice. I hope. As witnessed on DU, people have

been waiting for the numbers. We shall see when asshole Joe spins in the a.m.

[virtualobserver]

15. as much as they love horse races, they love airplane crashes even more

and Air Hillary just hit the tarmac, taken down by her own sniper fire.

[thewiseguy]

14. I beg to differ

I think this is going to get good converage on MSM tomorrow.

To them it is about ratings. This story will get alot of attention.

[DJ13]

18. I hope you're right, but I no longer trust the media to tell the truth

Too often they prefer to keep Clinton (and McCain) failures out of the public eye, especially a day before Hillary's last hope in staying in the race.

[thoughtcrime1984]

9. I would think the MSM would downplay it

Time for some more Wrightbitterfingersnubcanadiannaftarezkosweetieweathermananythinghesaysanddoesgate! Put it on an endless loop, God damn America!

[tammywammy]

10. $10 million in debt

20. What, exactly, is the news.

No one posts a report or link to whatever story is being referenced.

[spinbaby]

21. It's on the morning news already

Channel 4, Pittsburgh: Obama has 42 million, HIllary over 10 million in debt.

[AtomicKitten]

22. She has tried spinning it into fundraising; don't know if it will work anymore.

[SoCalDem]

23. ONE HUNDRED AND NINE MILLION DOLLARS

but apparently she's not willing to risk more than 5M of her own money.. that says a lot.. Even Mittens was willing to (and did) spend more that that of his own money..

She's perfectly willing to spend other people's money, and profligately at that,...but she's keeping her own money oout of it.. notice she LOANED the campaign her own money...Her minions will be donating to pay her back :)

[datopbanana]

25. DONATE TO HILLARY NOW! WE GOT TO PAY OFF HER DEBT B4 SHE QUITS

[woolldog]

26. According to the reports she has plenty of cash

on hand 31 million and only 10 million of debts. So I don't think she'll drop out because of financial reasons. Or is most of the cash on hand reserved for the GE?
