Hillary Ended April OVER $30 MILLION IN THE RED!
First, here's the closing COH:

Cash on Hand at CLOSE of the Reporting Period 29,666,453.10


Not bad, but then there's debt:

Debts and Obligations Owed BY the Committee 19,480,893.26


Okay, she should still have about $10,000,000, right? WRONG!

19. Loans Received:
(a) Loans Received From or Guaranteed By Candidate 5,000,000.00 10,000,000.00 0.00
(b) Other Loans 0.00 0.00 0.00
(c) Total Loans (19(a) + (b)) 5,000,000.00 10,000,000.00 0.00


So at the end of April, she owed herself $10,000,000 and ends up owing more than she has(and remember, she loaned herself another $6,400,000 in May). But that's not all of the story...

Nearly every penny of what she has on hand in her report CAN ONLY BE USED IN THE GENERAL ELECTION!

That means she's more than $30 million in the hole at the end of April.

And that $10,000,000 in one day after Pennsylvania? A LIE!

Contributions By Date show the following for the period on and around the Pennsylvania primary...

April 20, 2008 58,556.17
April 21, 2008 133,441.71
April 22, 2008 226,294.60
April 23, 2008 1,738,154.61
April 24, 2008 2,578,730.28
April 25, 2008 787,048.99
April 26, 2008 314,722.71
April 27, 2008 126,573.57


No $10,000,000 figure in there at all.

All figures come from the FEC filing

4. Can't she use the G.E money to pay of her debts after this is over?
If she doesn't get the nomination, the G.E. checks get sent back to their donors right? What would stop them from donating to say bill clinton, and then they pay off the debts that way, after this is all over.

19. Why would people want their hard earned money being used to pay back debt?
They did not give to her to pay down debt. They paid for her to use it. It is Clinton who decided to add in tons of debt to that.

5. I am glad that some of the BS coming from the people around clinton is getting picked apart.
30 million is an insane and out of control debt.

16. IT explains why some Hillary Supporters believe she can win
They can't even do the math on a simple FEC filing report.

15. The only people I feel sorry for are the vendors that got screwed over by this.
They may get payment but it will be FAR too late.

31. Hillary doesn't give a shit about the working class or she would pay her damn debts.
These vendors have payrolls and bills to pay. I wonder how many of them have had to borrow money or get rid of employees due to Queen Kong's non-payment.

12. She is so desperate. Obama should not use our money to pay off her debt
just because she wanted to do a Huckabee. Let the "hardworking, whites" work it out for her.

17. As a Democrat, I just want to soak up this moment when being underfunded is a bad thing.
Think about this in the big picture. Everyone is giving money to the Dems. Clinton is in debt cause she's spent a lot of money, but even our in debt candidate has raked in millions more than the top two Republican candidates combined.

I guess she just keeps going to her rich hubby for more.

22. Clearly the Clinton campaign has lied about both
the amount of debt and the amount they raised after PA. You would think that this alone should be enough of a message to Clinton supporters to prove she can't be trusted.

24. The bigger part is to the supers.

They may have thought that they could cut a deal to declare for Obama if he goes with HRC as VP. But now HRC with these "issues" is nothing more than talking points for the republicans.

28. The good news about the debt
Based on a quick comparison of April and May reports, it appears to be new debt. Many of the small vendors have been paid. I looked at the colleges, municipalities, school systems, etc that were on last month's report and they are at zero on May

33. No problem, there are plenty of rubes who will continue to
sell their tricycles and send her the proceeds. Greatest scam in political history.
