Is it possible to be the inevitable presidential nominee of the Democratic Party in America and not have the funds to carry on? That's a question that Hillary Clinton's campaign is facing after she loaned her campaign $5 million. Clinton's staffers are also working without pay, and she loaned her campaign $5 million last month. Shortly after the announcement yesterday, an email went out to her supporters asking for additional funds:

We had a great day yesterday. Now we must keep that momentum going. You have sustained me throughout this journey, and I am calling on you again to give our campaign the resources we need to win critical upcoming races."We had a great month fundraising in January, but my opponent was able to raise more money. We intended to be competitive and we were. I think the results last night proved the wisdom of my investment," Clinton said in a press conference outside her campaign headquarters in Arlington, VA yesterday. According to her campaign, Clinton raised around $13 million last month, excluding the $5 million loan. Obama collected $32 million, according to campaign manager David Plouffe. Adding to Clinton's money woes is a report that Obama's campaign is on track to raise another $30 million this month.I've never asked so much of you as I am now: $3 million in three days. But the need has never been so great.

$3MM in 3 days? That ain't gonna cut it... Obama has raised over $7.5MM just since Tuesday night. (The number seems to be getting updated here: http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/samgrahamfelsen/CGGpp)
That's some serious scratch... I'm guessing she's trying to manage expectations and not give anybody any *ahem* false hope about how much she can raise in that short a period of time.
sounds like it's time for bill to cut a couple more uranium deals
Shows that Hillary isn’t really all about "change", because if she was then she would have been a lot more generous to the banking, insurance, credit card and utility interests as a senator.
I wonder will O’Bama pardon T. Rezko or at least allow him to sneak out of the Country back to Lebanon like Bush did for Osama Bin L's family the day after 9/11?
She's already hit the 3 mil goal and made a new one. RevSlap, you're prolly right. Don't want to make a goal you can't hit.
And the tangled web of Clinton's deception continues...
Man, that drink looks good! What is it???
