1. Is that $10 million on hand after she pays her $10 million in debt?
If not, it means she's technically broke right now.

2. That's cash on hand but what's their debt?
The outstanding bills may stop her campaign in its tracks

3. They owe Mark Penn 4 mil
and themselves 5 mil so they'll be broke tomorrow-except does anybody expect them to PAY those outstanding debts-you know the ones NOT to themselves? Yea me neither...

5. And here we see exactly how Hillary would run the country
...into the ground.

Worst candidate ever.

4. At some point she is going to get in trouble with the FEC
because unpaid debts start to look like illegal campaign contributions.

8. Is that 10 million from the March 31 filing or is that a current figure?
If it is from the March 31 reporting then she is 2 million in debt (not including the loan she gave her campaign). If it is a new figure it is meaningless unless there are also figures showing her expenses during that same time. Either way she is beyond merely broke and is going further and further into debt. Her debt for Feb was around 8 and she added over 1 million to that debt in March.

10. the Obama campaign forced her
to blow her wad in a state where she was going to win anyway-it was supposed to be a 20 point win and ends up not even half that...now she has two weeks before NC and Indiana and mounting debt-while Obama has a new stack of chips to play with and no new debate that she NEEDS to happen and I'm glad they ain't giving it to them-make her spend that money-make the Clintons NOT pay staffers MAKE them loan themselves some more of that 100 million they have.

13. Yes, she could ill afford to spend what she spent in Pennsylvania...
If the expenditure figure of her spending 1 million dollars a day is even close, she would have had to spend a further 15 - 20 million in April, not counting any expenditures she has wrt the upcoming state primaries.

The Clintons will not lend themselves more money, imo. They, if not their supporters, know already that it is simply throwing good money after bad.

The Obama campaign strategy in Pennsylvania was very well played, imo. The intent was to force her to use her meager funds to fight there in hopes of garnering the needed number of delegates while they used their ever-replenished bank balance to narrow her win ergo reduce the number of delegates she would win. They succeeded on both counts it seems. She is even more in debt than ever and garnered, at best, 10 more delegates than before.

It is fascinating to watch two campaigns, one who's strategy from the start was to plan for the long haul and one who's strategy short-term planning in putting all of their eggs in the Super Tuesday basket.

9. grantcart also pointed out that she had a huge addition of $8 million
on March 31st. After raising around $20 million March 1-30. No word on where that money came from. I'd like someone to figure that one out.

14. Obama has much more, but still cannot put her out of the race.
He still lost Pennsylvania.

17. oh but she can
and she must, because Obama cannot beat McCain

Obama can't even beat Hillary with an adoring press

without that he has very little else

we cannot survive a McCain presidency

18. and what exactly IS that path to the nomination?
is she going to blow Obama out 70-30 in the remaining 9 contests? Ya think? And then get 250 of the remaining 300 super delegates to break for her? You want to bet on those odds?
