I wonder how much of the $20 million Clinton raised can only be used in general election.

4. She 8 million in debt?
Bet the vendors in Iowa are thrilled at the possibility of they may yet get paid for services rendered.

5. I'll be suprised if she can use even half of that for the primary.

7. You're happy about raising less than 2/3 what your opponent raised?

10. I find it sick that we use the word ONLY in front of the figure $20 million.
The costs of these elections are disgusting. I'm sure you would agree as well.

18. It is what it is...... fundraising is one measure of the support a candidate has....
...and Obama has much broader support than any candidate in history.


2,000,000 individual donors. Unheard of.


That's how much America wants this guy to be President.


It's a measure of the enthusiasm for his candidacy.

28. Oh come off it - first you celebrate, now it's 'disgusting'
Some folks here get disgusted so easily I wonder how they manage to get through to lunchtime without visiting a therapist. The total cost of the presidential election cycle to the USA is about $1/year per person.

9. She raised since Saturday over $3M
That to me is proof that she still has plenty of support. Obama outraises her and that's just fine. But, considering that she's now the underdog, that she is constantly being bashed by the media, that some of the Obama supporters like Richardson and Leahy are urging her to quit the race and she still manages to raise $3.2 million in three days mainly from small donations, tells me that she has plenty of loyal people who believe in her and support her cause.

Go Hillary, don't let the turkeys get you down!!!!!!

:bounce:

13. How about you stop posting in my view such bs and ask her to start paying the debts.
Edited on Tue Apr-01-08 11:50 PM by Zachstar
If she is getting 20 million she has more than enough to pay back the people she owes money to.

6. ONLY 20 Million?
What the fuck is wrong with you people?

You should be disgusted that so much money needs to be raised in the first place -- by either of the candidates.

8. It says she raised "close to 20 million" so less than that. And the rumor was Obama was close to 40
million. It looks like he didn't make the 40 mark, in the 30s somewhere.


This plays out to Obama raising close to double Clinton's total for March, and she won Ohio and spun Texas into a win also.

If he is still out fund raising her 2-1 when this was his worst month then it is great news for him.

19. I would hope so
Stiffing schools, fair grounds, police, fire departments and health care companies isn't very wise.
