Yes, Clinton Raised $10M Off The Net--More people will start placing their money with the winner
http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/04/10.php

Peter Daou, Hillary Clinton's internet director, confirms that, by midnight last night, the campaign had recieved more than $10 million in web-based contributions. efforts. Not pledges. Not promises. But $10 million transferred directly from the credit and debit cards of about 100,000 donors. (The average donation was about $100 -- which means that the campaign steered some bigger donors to the net.)

On television yesterday, Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAullife innoncently projected out the number of $10 million from the roughly $5m the campaign had already recieved. There was a little bit of panic in Clinton land -- would they actually be able to reach the Macker's exuberant projection?

The campaign says that by 11:00 pm ET last night, they had.

So the $10M figure, according to the Clinton campaign, is not a goal. It is, indeed, cash in the bank.

26. Me three. I no longer trust them on this since the loan episode.
And a chunk of the donations she is getting are coming from Republicans. I'm thinking of doing some analysis on the FEC records to see just how many of her donors also donated to a GOP candidate this cycle.

20. The FEC would consider it an illegal donation
Penn can only donate $2,300 max to Hillary's primary campaign.

12. It's sad, really. Poor dupes
Well, at least the small vendors she owes might finally get paid and she won't have to dip into her own $109M.

13. Where were all of these supporters when she was the "inevitable"
candidate? Or is this just right-wing Republicans, at the direction of Rush and Ann Coulter, finally opening their purses?

I think the Clinton debts will wipe out that $10 million pretty fast. We can't expect Hillary and Bill to use her own fortune.

16. "Peter Daou, Hillary Clinton's internet director, confirms that, by midnight last night"
"The campaign says that by 11:00 pm ET last night, they had."

I think they were lying throughout the day, got called on it, and then directed big donors to make it up:

"The average donation was about $100 -- which means that the campaign steered some bigger donors to the net.)

Reports are that these weren't first-time (new) donors as the campaign originally indicated.

22. But doesn't that just pay the $10 million debt she has been carrying.
Now she needs more money to go forward, right?

23. Last I read, her debt was $15 Million ($5 M more than originally stated, including her self-loan)
But since the "people are sending money to the winner" (Obama), I guess it doesn't pay Hillary anything.

Pffft!

28. so effectively that means she'll last about 2 days in Indiana
pushing lies on TV? Two bits says she starts screaming "Debates!!!" since they're Free and that gives her a chance to purse her shriveled lips and cluck at Obama about petty henhouse chickenshit while her media buds make mountains out of molehills to use Killery as their Advertising Cash Cow...

The Idiot doesn't seem to realize that both the Right Wingers and breathless Media Whores are going to jacknife on her if her fantasy of getting the Nom were to happen, and turn her into a fine paste that McCain can suck through a straw since chewing is so much harder for him now..

THAT is what repulses me the most, that she'll be toast and lives in absolute denial, along with the older ignorants that claim to be her base...

31. "Start?" More people have been placing their money on the winner
for quite some time now. Generally at a three to one ratio compared to his opponent.
