So much for the spin. Obama outraised her almost 4 to 1 last month.

1. 4 to 1
If you deduct $5M from her totals in January - isn't that how it works? I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure - unless the 13M she raised somehow didn't include her personal loan.

8. Yep, and conveniently failed to mention that ... maybe even worked to hide that fact?

<snip>

Russert: Last month. You guys raised 10 million.

McAuliffe: We won the fourth quarter and the third quarter. We actually raised more in '07 than Barack Obama did.

Russert: How's your money holding up?

McAuliffe: It's good. I mean, he -- you said 10. We actually about did about 13 1/2, which I was very proud of. We had more cash on hand at the end of '07. He had a great January. Hats off. I've been raising money for a long time. All the compliments in the world to the Obama campaign. They raised a lot of money on the internet. I heard over 25 million on the internet. Congratulations to them. No one should be worried about Hillary Clinton, though. We will always have our resources to get our message out.

7. Let's not forget that she also transfered $10 million from her Senate campaign
funds to her Presidential campaign funds last quarter as well.
