Does Clinton have a money problem? (Open Left - Tagaris)

[swag]

How far off is self-funding for Clinton? Are they already there?

. . .

As an internet director, there is one reason candidates drop the URL on television, and it's not because they care if people navigate through the tubes to learn more about your positions on the issues.

It's money. And sign-ups, which equal money.

Believe me, getting a candidate to drop the URL is difficult thing to do. They hate it, they feel stupid doing it, and they think it's demeans the campaign. This has been my near universal experience with any candidate I've worked for.

So after hearing it again, I started doing the math ... 32 > 12 in January. Massive spending in Iowa, NH, and a yesterday's national primary. How much money can she possibly have left over? My guess is not much.

I was set to wake up and write this piece this morning, and you can imagine my shock when I stumbled upon this note in "The Politico" today.

asked this morning whether the Clintons are funding their own campaign.
Clinton aide Howard Wolfson on the morning's conference call said he doesn't know, but he'd ask.

I find it hard to believe he doesn't know ... terribly terribly terribly hard to believe. That should have been a straight up, "NO"

1. I knew she was low on funding, or so I heard

And she could be spending her own money. I also heard on CNN Romney had spent 15 million of his own money.
