Clinton has loaned her campaign over $11 million. The last amount
within the last few days. This was in an email from the Obama campaign.

1. goes to show that she has deep faith in her campaign...
or that she has been unable to raise $$$ from her 'broad base'...

2. Wonder how much she expects to collect in interest.
Expect her to continue to try to raise money, without spending it, so she can pay herself back her loan.

3. Yep, it's turning out that she loaned another $6 million
right around when we were hearing about that overnight $10 million dollar gusher.

:crazy:

13. Her statement for March reflected the $5 million loan, so
she had to have loaned herself the additional $6.4 million sometime during the month of April DESPITE the alleged $10 million post-PA bump.

Why would she need to continue to infuse $$$ into her campaign?

Bring on the April FEC filings.

15. Articles in the news today
say she made a 5 million loan a week before the PA primary. Her $10 million day was right AFTER the PA primary.

Ths isn't the first thread pushing this lie, and I doubt it will be the last.

6. Her campaign also said she will continue to make loans as necessary -
from her jointly held assets. WHY???

9. It's a noble sacrifice for the good of the country. Like Mittens.

7. She represents to her campaign the equivalent of 106,000 of Obama's average donors.

8. I find it hard to imagine her being able to raise any more serious funding
She scraped through on Super Tuesday with a $5m loan.
She got through Pennsylvania with another $5m loan.
She loaned herself $1m last week. And $425k on Monday....for a wining margin in IN of about 14,000 votes. With help from Rush Limbaugh, according to exit polls.
Plus the American Leadership Committee running TV ads for a cost of about $1.2m, that attack Obama rather than sticking to an issue as the law requires.

At this point you have to ask if she isn't just buying her right to stay in the race. I'm not comfortable with a Democratic candidate loaning their own campaign such huge amounts of cash. By now she has loaned herself something like 5 times Obama's personal net worth. Could her campaign possibly still be functioning without this $11.4 million?

She keeps saying he's outspent her, but that's largely because he has 1.5 million donors. If she had that money available she'd be spending it too. The next batch of FEC reports are going to be *really* interesting.

10. I wonder how long it will be ...
before Bubba files for divorce after HRC is finally "dragged off the national stage" after humiliating herself via SCORCH THE EARTH (Democratic Party and Obama)? My guess is ONE MONTH. :shrug:

11. That's not cool

Chill out with the personal attacks. I'm not a mod but I play one on the interweb. No seriously - I don't want to be involved in a movement that does that kind of junk.

12. That puts where Bill's money comes from up for grabs, IMO. That has
been totally glossed over in the MSM, but at this point, if she's tapping into "joint funds", where he is earning those funds and the influence that entails is a fair topic.

14. What happened to the $10 million she allegedly raised right after the PA primary?
Oh, yeah, that went to pay off the $10 million in debt she reported on April 20, bringing her balance up to zero.
