Hillary On Track To Raise $10 Million Since Polls Closed Yesterday
By Greg Sargent - April 23, 2008, 1:11PM

On MSNBC just now, top Hillary adviser Terry McAuliffe claimed that by the end of today, the Hillary campaign will have raised $10 million since she was declared winner yesterday.

The number of new donors to the campaign, according to McAuliffe: Fifty thousand.

Such numbers won't really shift the underlying financial dynamic of the race, as Obama had over $40 million in cash on hand at the beginning of this month, while the Hillary camp was in the red. Still, such numbers are good for morale, something Hillaryland was in sore need of heading into yesterday.

This is from her filing

April 24, 2008 2,578,730.28
April 25, 2008 787,048.99

1. I think April 24 was apart of the new leap week.
So I think 4/24 was seven days long.

23. I'm sorry for not knowing how this works
but what exactly does this "clearing" typically represent?

I'll put my cards on the table- I very much want you to be right because I loathe her at this point- but I want to make sure you're right.

If clearing means tallying up unaccounted for totals, and she has that number for 4/30, couldn't it mean that they had stuff that banked for 2.5 on 4/24, but that there was more money pledged that only cleared days later?

77. 7 million negative in cash for April!
Receipts 21 million (26 total in the report includes another 5 million loan) vs. Disbursements 28 million.

Not the picture of a winning or even sustainable campaign. I sure wouldn't want to be one of the little guys who put up goods or services along the way.

53. No, it's all up on the FEC wesbite
You just need to know how to read the accounting statements. A few people have been jumping to conclusions and mistakenly adding her personal loans onto her debt, when in fact they're included in that. Not everyone knows how to read the data, it helps if you have a spreadsheet open.

116. Lying is good, especially when it's by our leaders to their constituencies. Let face the facts.
You like being lied to.

In fact you support it.

So no whining when you get lied to. In fact, you need to celebrate it.

Just like the bush supporters, you are human. You hate to be informed of the truth, because it contradicts your view of the world. So you attempt to divert, you attempt to rationalize, and you attempt the "everybody was doing it" defense, and you attempt to discount the information because you believe the messenger is somehow at fault.

No, Dan Rather isn't the problem.

The problem is that the Clinton campaign will lie if they feel it will help them. This is just another of many examples.

26. Where does the loan she made to the campaign come in?
Are they in these numbers?

When Hillary Clinton lent her campaign $5 million in early February, she made it clear that those funds came from her own money. Her pre-tax earnings have totaled about $11 million from her salary as a New York senator and from advances and royalties for her book Living History.

But her last-ditch decision to tap joint funds to remain financially competitive with rival Barack Obama exposes her husband's financial dealings over the last seven years to greater scrutiny.

On Wednesday, when Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson disclosed that she'd lent her campaign $6.4 million more since April 11, he said that the funds came from their shared assets. Wolfson said that Clinton is legally entitled to use up to 50 percent of their jointly held assets for her campaign.

Is that just contributions?

I realize the loans aren't included in her debts, though the way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if she paid herself back first, those poor vendors can fend for themselves.

28. To be fair, if people pledged that amount and then sent in their checks...
Would the pledged amount be reported then or on receipt?

i.e. Are we looking at the credit card donations on April 23 and then the checks rolling in on April 30?

Just an idea.

And where are Obama's "unspecified donations" dumped? It's definitely not Chicago.

Is "no election was supplied" primary money or general? I'm guessing general, considering the low amount there, but all of those combined still don't equal her supposed "cash on hand".

32. She seems to rely upon short memories and gullible natures.
This is the sort of thing that has distanced and hardened people as long as I have been following politics. Its easy to joke about, but there is no excuse for an absolute public lie. No real representative of the people of this country would condone it. Hillary relies upon our stupidity.

Let's see if she fesses up and apologizes for a bald-faced lie.

are donating to Obama. California has been his biggest donor for some time now. He raised almost $4 million from Cali this reporting period.

Can you say buyer's remorse? The DC socialites and true elitists are trying to force a Clinton candidacy on us.

76. technically, it might have been true
The exact quote was "on track". If you raise $1.25 million in 3 hours, then you are "on track" to raise $10 million in 24 hours. As a practical matter though, a 24 hour period is not likely to equal 8 times the total of the best three hours. There's a big block of time, say from 10 PM to 7 AM when most people are sleeping, getting ready to sleep, waking up, taking a shower, and having breakfast, getting dressed for work. Then there's another block of time from 7:30 to 5:30 when most people are working or commuting to work. Granted, there is a 3 hour spread between time zones as well as variations in people's work shifts and sleeping times, but there is still bound to be some fairly dead hours.

78. most of the posts in this thread are uninformed bullshit
And I say that as an Obama supporter.

We went through the same thing a month ago. The numbers reported on a particular day are not reflective of when the money was donated. Its reflective of when it was reported. That's why Obama's campaign report shows over $12 million on April 1 -- they didn't get all of that pledged on that one day, they simply reported it on that day. Same thing for HRC -- you can't determine when she actually received donations from when they're reported.

Moreover, the fact that DC is listed as the location of many of the donation is, again, a quirk of how the reports are filed. Obama, in April, reported over $12 million as coming from "no state reported". HRC has a very small no state reported, but a large DC donation. I guarantee that reflects how they report the money, not where its from.

This thread should die the death it deserves.

81. I agree with everything except the "state of origin" thing.
I really think that's supposed to reflect the donor's address.

If it reflected, for example, the state of the candidate's headquarters, shouldn't we expect Obama to have an enormous number of donations coming from IL? He actually had just $1,000,000 or so coming from there. And Hillary's headquarters is based out of Virginia, isn't it?

I'm really curious about how these reports work.

91. The Clinton line that they raised 10 million in a single day is an absurd like
On MSNBC just now, top Hillary adviser Terry McAuliffe claimed that by the end of today, the Hillary campaign will have raised $10 million since she was declared winner yesterday.


The previous month they raised roughly 20 million for the entire month and did so again this month.

Regardless of the day that the money was collected the idea that $ 10 million in a 24 hour period is a farce.

The other part of the farce is that they continue the illusion that there was a spontaneous reaction across the country to their web stie. Roughtly 40% of the entire amount was raised from Washington DC.

126. I doubt that they got pledges for $10 million in a day, but the report doesn't prove squat
And if you believe that 40 percent of HRC's money came from DC, then could you explain how HRC could have less than $6000 reported as "no state" while Obama has $12 million "no state reported" donations?

I'd love to hear your explanation.

88. Fuzzy Math And STILL lying?
Edited on Wed May-21-08 02:13 AM by votesomemore
April 23, 2008 1,738,154.61
April 24, 2008 2,578,730.28

In response to your post about our post-PA fundraising, I wanted to help clarify any confusion. During the course of the 24 hours after the race was called for Sen. Clinton, the astonishing pace of contributions led to a series of updates in the press. If you look at the campaign's afternoon press release, Terry McAuliffe's $10 million figure was a projection of where we'd end up by the end of the day. However, the donor number he mentioned was the latest info he had at the time he was speaking to MSNBC, which was around midday. The sequence of updates was as follows: we were at $2.5 million the night of the election, over $3 million when Sen. Clinton went on the morning shows, $5 million before noon, and Terry McAuliffe projected out the rest of the day. The $10 million goal was then announced on the site late last night.
http://www.techpresident.com/blog/entry/24493/the_clinton_obama_money_chase_continues

Although, the conclusion of the blogger is that she DID reach "post PA" donations in the amount of $10M.
Can you look into this?
Don't want to be spreading misinformation.

125. It may seem absurd to you, but these records do not provide
definitive proof that she did not, because a lot of people here may or may not know how to read them. I am not saying she did. I have no idea, but if she did lie about something this big then I am sure that the news media will pick this up the same way they did the Bosnia story.(On a side note I was very, very criticial of Hillary on this story and still am) If they do, then we will most likely know... and if not then it is probably another example of people trying everything in their power to tear her down.

It is the same as people who feel Obama lied about his knowledge regarding Rev Wright. We have no proof that he lied, some think he did, some think he did not, but until they have proof they shouldn't be saying anything.

I personally defended him over Rev. Wright thing by telling my parents that all politicians lie to some degree, that what is more in important is what they lie ABOUT rather than that they have told a half truth.

I feel like a lot of people here are trying to find something to call Hillary out on because I get the feeling some people merely dislike her for personal reasons. Which is sad.

A lot of people do not know how to read this, but are STILL trying to use it as proof to back up a claim just because they believe that claim must be true. That isn't the American way at all. Wait until there is proof before you shoot someone down. I think the mere fact that news heads such as KO or CM are not running with this is a sign. IF however, it gets picked up by mainstream media (not just one or two people with an agenda) then yes, it is probably true and you can go to town saying whatever you feel you need to say to make your candidates win seem bigger in your eyes.


By the way, I am supporting Obama in the GE and think he will make a fine candidate. This has nothing to do with him, but with certain people who seem to have an irrational hate of Hillary Clinton. As Bill Maher said. If you hate Hillary, it says nothing about her but does say a lot about YOU.

115. And in addition, they have stated they aren't worried about the debt.
McCauliff says the debt is no big deal.

"He added that the campaign will wait until after the last primaries on June 3 to address its debts.

“As many of you know, I’ve been involved in a lot of debt situations with the Clintons for a long time,” he said. “It’s never bothered us before, and it won’t bother us in the future.”

He also said Clinton hasn’t loaned her campaign any more money or talked about writing off the $11 million in previous loans as contributions: “She’s not focused on that.”

And this is someone that wants to be responsible for the fiscal health of our country? Not a great idea.
