What do you think happened to Hillary’s backers? She had to donate $5 million to her own campaign?



Clinton loaned her campaign $5 million late last month to remain competitive financially with Obama.

Said communications director Howard Wolfson in an email to NBC News: “Late last month Senator Clinton loaned her campaign $5 million. The loan illustrates Sen. Clinton’s commitment to this effort and to ensuring that our campaign has the resources it needs to compete and win across this nation. We have had one of our best fundraising efforts ever on the Web today and our Super Tuesday victories will only help in bringing more support for her candidacy.”

    Hopefully they woke up. Now we need everyone else to so we can strike at the polls and get real candidates.

    No problem for Hilly, she has an almost endless supply of money in her personal accounts thanks to her friend China who needs all the influence in American government they can get.

    It’s over for Hillary, and Huckabee, if you look at the polls.
    But I believe both still have a chance. strangers things have happened.

    She did make the mistake t0 assume that she was invincible—the name Clinton is a household commodity. And really, no one thought that Obama would sweep the Americans off their feet like he did.
    So Clinton had her campaign strategy based on the assumption that she was invincible—and had to learn the hard way that no one was invincible–but by then had she already raked in the maximum legal amounts from big contributors and so now she has to redo her campaign and make efforts in raising funds.
    However, right after she announced that they needed money did donations start to pour in–plus, she “loaned” her own campaign five million(so that she can get her money back out when she got enough funds again!). Her loaning her money to her own campaign has sort of thrown me off of her. She was my first choice, but by now do I not know for sure if she will really be my candidate to vote for….
