I don''t want to say I told you so....

Call me ''old school'', but I believe that a candidate should run on NO money. Let the government divide the $3.00 a piece(since they say that it won''t effect our return anyway) split it up between the foes and let them battle it out! When the monies are gone, oh well!
It would insure that everything would be equal accross the board.

Obviously, Mrs. Clintons ''hillrithmatics'' forgot to add in the x=HRP. H. Ross Perot. Money doesn''t buy a presidency.

I asked my self why Bill & Hill Clinton were not the same persons that I supported for so many years. These people are very savy politicos. I believe that they knew they had no chance and I believe that they saw the greater good to build our party. These primaries have raised more money, registered thousands of new Democrats and gave us exposure that is priceless to get our message out. I want to believe that the Clintons did what they did for patriotic reasons and to make sure that our party succeeds this time. I hope I am right because this will allow me to forgive them for some of their tactics.

This kind of spending should NOT be allowed.
People starving, people not being able to afford
to pay their bills and her tossing money
like confetti.

We still have obligations to the world such as feeding those in Africa and many other endeavors, but we shouldn''t ignore our own either.

If that is the case, I sure hope ethanol is nutritious.

I remember when Paul Tsongas dropped out, for running out of funds.

If I were to vote SOLELY based on how they''d run the country based on how they financed their campaigns, Clinton and McCain would be out. We need to make inroads on repaying the debt, which would only improve things for our country AND the world.

However, that doesn''t mean a person going overboard with wanting the job automatically meaning, should they get elected, they''d be just as overzealous.

I also disagree with the idea she will wreck things, solely to run again in 2012. That simply makes no sense; if she genuinely was ruining things now, would not people remember in 2012 and not vote based on that perception?

We still have obligations to the world such as feeding those in Africa and many other endeavors, but we shouldn''t ignore our own either.

(psssst: It might still be a good idea to send Clinton $0.01 for her campaign, on the off chance that the "business as usual" crowd throws the nomination her way.

She is spending like a madwoman to buy the Presidency, and should she succeed in buying the Presidency or have it bought for her, being on her donor list might save you from being the "''em" in "Screw ''em".)

Hillary LOST BOTH states!!!. The 22000 margin she got in Indiana is far less than votes she got from cross-over republicans intended to prolong the fight.

BTW, too bad that Obama does not want to engage in a negative campaign. He could have shown the Hillary Bosnia lie footage over and ever again as she did to him on his %u201Cbitter%u201D comments. If he did, she would be crushed a long time ago.

The Clintons are such sleezebags! They multiplied their fortune 1000 fold just by being "public servants". We all wish we could get gubmint jobs that paid like that. Now Bill is a *** for corporations and foreign governments.

NC: WHITES, BLACKS, HISPANICS, ASIANS & INDEPENDENTS VOTED FOR OBAMA...

30% OF THE POPULATION CANNOT WIN YOU A PRESIDENTIAL RACE. IT CAN HELP YOU, BUT IF YOU DONT HAVE LARGE WHITE SUPPORT, A PERSON RUNNING IS DOOMED !!

THATS WHY HILLARY GOT HER A$$ HANDED TO HER IN OVERALL & UNDISPUTED FASHION...A *** LANDSLIDE VICTORY.

WHEN HILLARY WON (PA) DID YOU HEAR OBAMAS CAMP CLAMOUR ABOUT HER WHITE MAJORITY VOTES...NO

HE MADE INROADS, WHAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A 20 POINT WIN, BECAME A 9.6 POINT WIN AND HILLARY FOR MONTHS WAS SUPPOSE TO WIN BY BIG NUMBERS...SHE WON, BUT NOT BY THE 20 POINTS !!

SHES LENDING HER CAMP MONEY AFTER GARNERING 10 MILLION ONLINE AND WAS ON THE PODIUM BEGGING AGAIN FOR MONEY....

SHE CANT RUN HER OWN CAMPAIGN AND SHE WILL NOT RUN THIS COUNTRY...

WE HAD 8 YEARS OF GEORGE BUSHS ''FUZZY MATHEMATICS'' AND WE WILL NOT ENDURE ''HILLARY CLINTONS MATHMATICS''

ITS OVER, ALL SHE HAS TO DO IS...QUIT

Hillary Clinton has raised more then $198 million dollars for her campaign and yet is $15 million in debt.

This goes to show why she is unfit to be President.
$15 million in debt and she claims to have passed the Steward of the Economy test.

But Hillary made LOANS to her campaign and now she will want that money repaid so all you Hillary Supporters like RowdyTexan, you better increase your donations to Hillarys campaign.

But please remember Hillary will get ALL her money back, because its a LOAN; you however will only have your memories and a smaller bank balance.

Hillary relies on suckers like you to GIVE your money, while she cleverly LOANS hers.

When this is over she will have a bath in 100 dollar bills because all her 110 million dollar fortune is still there ! But don%u2019t worry she will be thinking of you and your kind donations !

She had her chance to step aside for the good of the party, but she apparently has decided that her blind ambition trumps that. Now it''s become obvious that the only reason she''s staying in the race, since she knows she can''t overtake Obama, is to do as much damage to the Democratic party as possible to make sure McCain wins in the fall, so she can run again in 2012. She has given up the last shred of dignity and is now just lashing out like a spoiled child. She should be ashamed of herself and she should be kicked out of the Democratic party.

Clinton supporters should say, that there money was only a loan also--and she can expect to pay all of them back, before she pays herself back. if she is so sure of what she is doing, why "lend" her campaign the money? Invest in yourself HRC--GIVE your campaign the money--then do the honorable thing and pay all of your creditors.

THAT''s why she asked for more contributions in her speech yesterday. To get her money back.
