16. First Read: AP reports John McCain raised $18 million with nearly $22 million cash on hand.
By comparison, the AP is reporting that McCain raised $18 million in April and has nearly $22 million cash on hand.

The Clinton campaign has yet to release its April fundraising numbers.

She's dropped the ads for KY to save but... how much?

to try to stem a landslide victory.

20. I have a special gift just for you....
NEW YORK - Top Democratic fund-raiser Norman Hsu, once a prized supporter of Hillary Clinton, is talking with the government to try to settle charges that he cheated investors out of millions of dollars and made illegal donations to politicians, his lawyer told a judge.

US District Judge Victor Marrero granted the delay request, moving the hearing to May 23.

21. Big number is 200,000 NEW donors and the other one is 91$ dollors.
91 keeps the donation list to himself and he doesn't have to share which is a big hammer he can use at the convention or with any other dem congress person going froward.

200,000 JUST LAST MONTH ALONE * 198 = 40 million a month if he can keep the donations up.

Out of the 2 million donors Obama will have after HRC drops out I bet you dog on well 200,000 of those people can give 198 a month.

That's MORE than enough money for 50 state strategy.
