Reporting on MSNBC

Joe Scarborough just reported this. He said that Terry McAuliffe is "scrambling" to find money for Clinton and they are awaiting some type of "response" from the Clinton campaign.

[yourguide]

1. bring it.

11.4 mil total now....wow.

[NotThisTime]

12. Think how many small business debts were not or have not paid off thus far

[sunnystarr]

19. and as a country we upped our $250,000 pledge to Burma

to $3 million in emergency aid. It's really staggering at how much we waste.

[Thrill]

2. Her supporters will take care of it

[Botany]

6.4 + 5.0 = 11.4 million that Hillary has given to her campaign

:rofl:

[powergirl]

6. Which goes to show that this campaign was all about her and not about

America or the Dem party. I hate to say that b/c I really used to like her. But I'm psyched for Obama in the GE!!!

[KittyWampus]

29. except look where their money came from. Bill pimping himself and the office of POTUS out

to foreign nationals.

[powergirl]

30. Even more insidious

:puke:

Obama will wipe the floor wih McSame.

[Daphne08]

3. I heard that, too. n/t

[Boz]

4. Im betting it was the day she "raised" 10 million in one day after PA

They basically lied early in the day, saying they would, then had to make up the difference to not look stupid.

[City Lights]

7. Yup. nt

[high density]

8. I'm thinking the same thing

That $2.. no $5... no $10 million day was a joke.

[yourguide]

14. +1

[powergirl]

17. I always thought that to be the case

when the campaign refused to corroborate their fund raising claim.

[Ichingcarpenter]

25. Yep, which means she raised 3.6 and kicked in 6.4

to make it a 10. Time to send Obama some money

[Aloha Spirit]

5. She doesn't need real money. Bill Clinton can do his travelling salesman pitch through KY and WV.

[JimGinPA]

9. Russert Hinted About A Rumor To That Effect Several Times Last Night....

That's why she didn't release her April figures yet.

[Doityourself]

11. I heard Russert say it too but no one picked up on it..and discussed it

[JimGinPA]

31. I Was Going To Start A Thread About It Last Night, But We Were On Defcon 12 Here

:rofl:

[TexasObserver]

10. She doubled down!! Mikey, you are so money!!

ow

$11 million owies

[oviedodem]

13. Her continuing is about money. At least Romney, who blew loads of cash stopped.

[hokies4ever]

15. No wonder she's continuing

She's got some bills to pay! Who are the suckers that are going to donate to her campaign now? It's just going straight into her coffers. :rofl:

[ProgressiveEconomist]

20. And no wonder she's retreated from racial "dog whistle" attacks on Obama

today (You know, where for example, she screams "Elitist" and her "ethnic racial backlash" demographic hears "Uppity!").

Surely one of the top items on her list for negotiating an end to her quixotic "campaign" is help from Obama with retiring her debt. Otherwise, she and BigDog soon may be dodging bill collectors for 11.4 million dollars.

You don't bite the hand you want to feed you. Every national politician knows that.

[antigop]

16. Hillary supporters, chip in! Now's the time! n/t

[powergirl]

18. Howard Wolfson just said he wouldn't rule out Clinton giving more personal

funds to the campaign. She needs to get resources from actual voters and supporters. What's up with this?

[madrchsod]

22. this is something the super delegates will be looking at

obama has been able to raise millions for the voters while hillary has`t raised enough to keep her out of debt. she`s broke. she has no money to pay off her debts or continue for the rest of the way. she can not buy the air time/advertising nor travel expenses to continue...but she will

[MadBadger]

21. Does the multi millionaire who can lend her campaigns millions still want to call Obama an elitist?

[PBS Poll-435]

23. It's all about attitude, darlin'

[madrchsod]

24. it`s "hillaryworld"

i`m sure all her supporters here and across the country will be sending their hard earned money to pay her bills..

On to Puerto Rico !

[workinclasszero]

26. Wow!

Anyone want to throw money away??

Get in touch with the Hillary for President campaign!

[workinclasszero]

27. Hey these people want to talk with you Hillary!

[curious one]

28. Now we know how she got $10 mil in 24 hours last month

She is going to give herself more loan too.

[Bread and Circus]

32. Annie Oakley, Jane Sixpack loaned her campaign $6.4 million... ugh...

[FredScuttle]

33. She's addicted to campaigning

Meth addicts and crack fiends marvel at her tenacity in chasing the Oval dragon.

[WeDidIt]

34. That's the last nail

The coffin lid is closed.

A woman of large proportion has taken the stage and begun to sing.

[Aloha Spirit]

35. Question--Is it possible she leant herself $$ to transfer the debt into a lower interest rate?

or to consolidate...
I mean, I absolutely doubt it.
I'm pretty sure it was spent on PA, BUT I'll be very curious to see how many of the March debts got paid off in April.

[davidpdx]

36. Unreal

And as usual this comes out the day AFTER a primary. 11 million in the hole and counting. Owch indeed!
