Clinton Campaign "Close To Broke," New Loan From Hillary Suspected
Ben Smith of Politico reported Tuesday night that Hillary Clinton might have made another loan to her campaign:

I asked Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe just now whether Clinton had given or loaned her campaign more money in the run-up to North Carolina and Indiana.
"Might be. Might not be," McAuliffe said, adding that the campaign would release more fundraising details tomorrow.

2. How much do you think she can loan her campaign before Bill throws a fit?

6. I think it will be really hard for her to raise money now
At some point all the money in the world isn't going to change things.

12. They owe it to their supporters to finish... But the nature of the campaign will likely change
Continuing the contest will continue to energize new voters, and democratic voters, who might not turn out in a non-competitive race (just ask the 5 people who actually voted for McCain in Indiana *exageration alert*). What's important is that we proceed with the understanding that Obama is the presumptive nominee. The continued race can be a positive thing, if we allow it to be.

10. It would be a VERY bad idea to put more debt on the campaign.
Defending WV and Kentucky is NOT worth the bad PR and other problems with more loans.
