Good for her if you can by a place on the ticket that is what Obama is doing so If it was ok for Kerry to put up his house then it is ok with me. if she loans her self money. Obama should have beat her good in IN but he can't close the deal.

So when she was runnin' around Indiana and North Carolina plumpin' herself as a Woman of the People and droppin' her g's and raggin' on money grubbers and elite experts, she had actually loaned herself $6 million from her personal bank account. Gee, wouldn't we all like to be such regular folks.

I knew that $10million she was crowing about after the PA primary was bogus.

Obama can close the deal.. FYI votes are still being counted in Indiana.


Hillary only won Texas, Ohio and pennsylvana because of rush limbaugh's assistance.

Even he thinks Sen. Obama will be the nominee, the republicans benefit by the democrats fighting and wounding themselves..

Everyone sees that, except Hillary.


Obama 2008

I think the money trails tell it all. While Rush has convinced people to vote for Hillary - they are not contributing to her campaign. Where people put there money is where you should follow. Obama has 1.5 MILLION donars and has continuted to raise a lot of money and energy!

Yes we can!

Jason: I agree, just another lie for her.

Re: Jason's remark about hillary's claim to have collected $10 million after Pa., that wasn't "bogus." It was a flat-out lie, and she should be held accountable for it.

Boy she really does need the GAS TAX HOLIDAY

We should make note of the republican crossover vote that was significant in Hillary's 'important' wins in Texas, Ohio, PA, and Indiana. Among true democrats Obama is the peoples choice!

So why is the money she puts up a loan,
but the average worker has to donate?

I never thought I'd live to see the day when Ron Paul has more cash on hand than Hilliary... WOW!!! She is finished. You can't spin yourself outta this one.

Obama isn't buying a place on the ticket...the people are buying it for him. If the presidency is to be bought, better that the people buy it than the few wealthy and large companies.

I hope Hillary will run as an independent!

Posted by: josh | May 7, 2008 9:58:06 AM

talib -- "true democrates" are what led to kennedy, dukakis, kerry ... apparently Obama having gone to Harvard is enough to make him one of the Boston crew .... who always loses the election in the end as centrist voters get turned off.

Hillary is invested in this fight. She is spending her own money for the people of America. What has Obama invested?

Low

Its hard to tell the wingnuts from the deadenders. Both groups are posting on the board in favor of Hills.

One group is up to make mischief and the other group is just plain bitter about their loss.

The Truth Hurts, FYI....I am a white middle-class, middle age, male Independent living in North Carolina. I voted for Obama because truth should matter and the Clintons are simply not to be trusted since they have own version of what truth is. And oh by the way, I also voted for Kay Hagan for Senator and Bev Perdue for Governor. So, I have no qualms voting for worthty candidates I can trust be they men, women, blacks, Latinos, or whatever.

Bravo! at least Sen Clinton put her millions where her mouth was.
She is doing this because she really believes that she can win, thats the fighter in Hillary. Her supporters should donate more to her campaign so that she can continue the valiant fight. After all she did promise 30$ for the gas tax rebate and Guam statehood, regardless of the economic situation.and the loss of construction jobs and Highway safety. Sen Clinton will end her candidacy very soon, because the math is the math! Delegates and finances alike.If she wants to continue to fight, maybe she should join the Marines, being that she already had experienc with Sniper Fire.
Hopefully she goes gracefully, why are the candidates always the last to know, when it's over?

The fat lady is backstage and warming up

To all you democrats who will vote for McCain: thank you, thank you, thank you. When the tax cuts become permanent it'll save me some serious money.
