Late Update: Wolfson confirms to me that the $13.5 million that Hillary raised in January does not include this $5 million.

7. all that proves is that 13.5 million was not near enough.

she had to give herself well over a third more.

11. Either way..it's not good when a candidate

has to dip into their own cheddar to finance their campaign, it's just not a good sign.

What is she going to do for this month. Howard Fineman of Newsweek said Barack is on pace for another record breaking February.

13. Why didn't her campaign just SAY that when asked?

Why all the smoke and mirrors?

15. Tattle tale..

sssh. ;)

16. 13.5 million is a lot less the Obama raised.

I would not brag about it.

17. wait, which is it?

is your headline wrong? You didn't edit this post, so you knew the headline was wrong. You knew this, and still posted it, k owing some people don't read beyond the headlines. Why did you do that?

18. How about adjusting your thread title to say that she earned $13.5 million

It's a new level of spin to say that she "raised" money that she donated out of her pocket.
