The New York Times Thursday said that top Clinton fundraisers had internally declared Clinton's bid "all but over."

As adamant as Mrs. Clinton appeared on Wednesday, several advisers said that how long she would stay in the race was an open question. Some top Clinton fund-raisers said that the campaign was all but over and suggested that she was simply buying time on Wednesday to determine if she could raise enough money and still win over superdelegates, the elected officials and party leaders who could essentially hand Mr. Obama the nomination.

Clinton advisers said they were concerned that the candidate’s online fund-raising, which boomed after her victory in the Ohio primary in March and in Pennsylvania in April, had slowed by comparison on Tuesday night and Wednesday, and that her donor base was either tightening somewhat or playing wait-and-see, despite her public appeal for money on Tuesday night. Clinton aides did not send out the near-hourly e-mail blasts bragging about online donations that came after previous successes.

1. Cool, just reminded me...

Another $50.00 to Obama!

2. But I thought she was staying in to spare young Obama the embarrassment of losing WV and KY

:shrug:

Could this mean *gulp* that she is just full of s&^t and sticking around for no other reason that to get some money back and to spite the pundits (Russert) who called her done Wednesday morning?

It was reported yesterday that she decided to go to WV at 2 AM after seeing Russert and the rest of the pundits called her campaign over early Wednesday morning. See she is still inconsistent ....she should have waited for the 3 AM call.

3. Boomed? Really?

"Clinton advisers said they were concerned that the candidate’s online fund-raising, which boomed after her victory in the Ohio primary in March and in Pennsylvania in April, had slowed by comparison on Tuesday night and Wednesday"

They must have a completely different definition of boomed than I do. If it truly "boomed" why did she have to loan her campaign $6.4 million in April?
