Clinton Campaign: $10 Million In 24 Hours

Hillary Clinton has scored another double-digit victory of sorts—this one related to cash flow rather than votes.

The Clinton campaign reports that is has raised $10 million in the 24 hours since winning the Pennsylvania primary.

Campaign Spokesman Mo Elleithee told the AP that the impressive haul came from 100,000 donors who were inspired to open up their pocketbooks after Clinton's big Pennsylvania win.

The money couldn't have come at a more important time for the relatively cash-strapped Clinton campaign, which could use the extra funds in the upcoming May 6 primaries in Indiana and North Carolina.

Indiana is generally thought to be the more important of the two states, as polls show a tight race there, but Clinton doesn't appear ready to totally concede North Carolina to Obama, who holds a comfortable double-digit lead there in the polls.

CBS News' John Bentley reports that the Clinton campaign's North Carolina strategy is to replicate what Obama did in Pennsylvania by narrowing her opponent's wide lead in order to claim a moral victory.

Bentley reports that Clinton is focusing on North Carolina's smaller towns and rural areas, where she hopes to make up some of the ground she appears certain to lose in the state's cities.

I''m convinced the obamabots posting here are either here on a visa and greencard or... they''re illegals.

It is well known the Muslim community is frantically funding their man. Soft muslim money...

Hillary lies again.

The Federal Election Commission has just reported that her campaign debt is $15 million and not $10 million as the Clinton camp reported because she failed to list her $5 million loan among the debts.

This means that even after her new surge of fundraising, she is still $5 million in debt; but Hillary is still smiling; why? Because she knows that her $110 million fortune is nice and safe. It%u2019s the ordinary person on the street who is tricked into losing money on a campaign that is doomed to fail.

Mitt Romney put $42 million of his own money into his campaign, why doesn%u2019t Hillary show she has complete confidence in her campaign and put in some of her own millions. Why? Because she knows it%u2019s a lost cause.

Those of you who are fooled into contributing to her campaign ask yourself why she LOANS her own money but wants you to GIVE your money?

You have to remember that Hillary did nothing to win in Penna, except to show up for her FUND RAISERS. It should come as little surprise that the Old Guard Rendell, Clinton polictics dominate the rather inflexible DEMO population of Penna. The Status Quo prejudice polictics is dominant.

I''''ve grown up here in Penna. and sad to say that there is a rather intolerant side to the Demo Party to real change & acceptance that is needed. To the Rendell, Clinton crowd, they thrive on this common knowledge, and is little wonder that Hillary came into Pa. with a 30 point lead and expected to win by at least 25 points.

Senator Obama refused to give up on the People. With the mocking, cackling old show Clintons in the background as he gave his message of Hope, Change and the need for this Country to get past the negative polictics and get back to doing the work of the People.

AS for Hillary, This is all about ME - Wheeeeeee this is fun! I''''m just warming up. $110,000,000 year is MY money. Send me MORE of YOUR money. CACKLE CACKLE CACKLE.... Sooooo SAD!

Hillary''s lead is 1/2 of 1 percent, if you include Florida and Michigan (which HRC agreed in advance not to count, and Obama was not on the Michigan ballot).

I''m sure if Obama was on the ballot HRC''s 1/2 of 1 percent would vanish in a hurry. Nice try by HRC to sway super delegates that she''s leading in something (but since Michigan and Florida don''t count her "lead" is fiction). We see through it.

But she''s gotten more votes than Obama! And that''s what wins the general election!

Obama fell like a cheap suit, caught lying six times in one night! His lie record is worse than Bush/Cheney!

libra127,

So, we meet again. Just cannot resist borrowing from President Reagan and saying, "There you go again"...of course, lil'' missy is trying to but the White House. Unfortunately for her, the presidency isn''t for sale. Raise all the money she wants, raise cain, raise hell, raise the Titanic, but that girl cannot win. Somebody ought to tell lil'' missy that terrorist don''t play softball.

All the Obama-bots sound like Richardson "She barely won in my state" when he tried to justify going against the will of the voters in his state. Pathetic!!

Bad Obama-Bots!! No Kool-Aid for you!!

all the political news analysts on election night generally agreed that Hillary must beat Obama by double-digits if she wanted to make her case to continue on.
Posted by YardoKnowsBe at 03:16 PM : Apr 24, 2008

No, they didn''''t. Some were even saying "a win is a win". Even Obama said "a win is a win". Stop being so petty. Hillary won a big, solid win!

She did win...But it certainly wasn''t as Big as she wants everyone to think it was. In fact it was practically meaningless. I wonder how many supporters would have donated their hard-earned money if they knew the truth on election night, that while Hillary "won" , she did not do so by "double-digits" as was incorretctly advertised.

Thank You

Please, do us all a favor. Go to official PA election returns website run by State of PA to see that Hillary did not win Primary by a so-called "Double-digit" Lead. Currently, the returns are showing a 9.2% lead...AND more votes are still to be counted. The votes that have yet to be counted are from Counties that OBama led Hillary on election night...so it''s very likely that when all those votes are finally counted, the lead Hillary has for PA over Obama will be LESS THAN 9%, which is certainly only single-digit.

Why is this difference important when it is seemingly insignificant??? Because all the political news analysts on election night generally agreed that Hillary must beat Obama by double-digits if she wanted to make her case to continue on. She didn''t, but none of the newslines appears to know this.

It''s likely that all the votes will finally be released much later than now, when they think it may no longer matter. But when they are, Hillary%u2019s lead will only be a little more than 8%.


The official PA website run by PA Dept od State is:
