Reports say she loaned her campaign 5 million last month. Obama is rolling in the dough....can hillary keep up the pace if this drags out for a few more months...

an amazing story is obama can get this nomination..a year ago this scenario would have been unthinkable. he won more delegates yesterday but super tuesday has been reported as a clinton victory because she won new york and california. i have a hard time believing she will be able to keep up. i beleive the remaining electorate states favor obama..
 
Honest question from a political n00b...since this is a loan how and when does she get paid back? And I read her net worth is 30+ million, how does she have so much money?
 
At this point she is badly trailing Obama in finances and it doesn't look to get any better, given the nature of their fund raising. This is why she is asking for 1 debate a week. That we she could get free TV time.
 
I don't believe this is true-Hillary raised more earlier, Obama raised more in January. This might signal the money is following the front-runner, though. It doesn't mean the HRC campaign is "out of money," by any means.
 
Obama has been a money machine for awhile now...and he just crushed her in the important Jan cycle

Hillary cannot keep up money wise no matter how many favors she may can call

They were saying last night that for basically every dollar Hillary can raise that Obama raises 3.

Obama has all the resources to push hard the next month or two...even all the way to the convention if needed.

Thats one of the reasons why Obama is in great shape with this race going longer....that doesnt favor Hillary

Thats why she is asking for once a week debates....she cannot afford the media time Obama can buy

Hillary cannot outspend him....and I saw a quote today from somebody in her campaign that even admitted that
 
You Hillary haters never stop, I'll grant you that.
Obama outraised Hillary 3 to 1 in January, not overall, not any other period. If that means that is how it will be from now on, granted that would be meaningful. But it isn't necessarily the case. Time will tell.
 
Not according to CNN - she still has more money than Obama...

EDIT - just realized it doesn't include January - so it's probably pretty even now...
 
One thing to remember when talking about donations is the source of them. Hillary has fewer people giving larger amounts, Obama has a much larger number of people donating smaller amounts. Because of this, Obama will have a much easier time raising money in the long run, you can hit up smaller donors time and time again, something that's hard to do when someone gave you a big chunk of change the first time.
 
Hilary is tapped out for the primaries from here existing base of donors. This was a problem that was identified earlier this Fall. She does NOT have broad appeal.

Obama should do a debate a month ---saying his schedule does not allow for a debate per week.
 
I doubt Obama will agree to 1 debate per week suggestion, esp given that he is competing hard at all the states between now and March 4. Hillary is concentrating on the March 4 primaries.
 
Unreal.

In less than 30 min. it's gone from $4.4 million to $4.955.

It has more to do with more people giving less, not less giving more. Obama has got a ton of people coast to coast and everywhere in between hitting him with nickels and dimes.

God I'm gonna love this month.

Look, bottom line is her campaign had a Maginot Line strategy, and Obama's campaign utilized their organizational advantage and mobility to simply outflank it. She's falling back now, hoping to regroup and establish another defensible position in Texas and Ohio, but he's gotten her top-heavy forces out in the open field, away from their fortresses, where he has a decided advantage.

Penn and McAuliffe have been playing checkers (King me!!) , while Plouffe and Axelrod were playing chess (Check).
 
Ha ha. Hillary has to donate her own 5 million....with staff going without pay

yet Obama has almost gone a million above that in just one day

its almost at 6 mil right now
 
So back on the topic of Hillary's money. Can anyone explain to me how this "loaning money to the campaign" works? How does the campaign repay the loan?
