Sen. Clinton should have let her supporters know that she was hurting
I would have never guessed! I assumed she was raking the cash in hand over fist. I'm sure that's what most people assumed, that she didn't need the money. And I wonder if the money problems were behind the emotional moment back in January?

1. Remember how that secret money situation worked for Howard Dean.
I do admire Howard Dean, but running out of money was a low point.

3. Her campaign was probably afraid of scaring off some voters before Super Tuesday
Being afraid to vote for a candidate that might not have the funds to continue much past Super Tuesday might have lost enough votes to lose one or more close contests.

4. Not a good thing for the frontrunner to admit
Plus, with the exception of this past month, she was raking it in. Not at Obama's levels but still pretty good. Overall, she has still raised more than him since the beginning. So I don't understand how she doesn't have a lot of money in reserve. I know she uses paid canvassers and does a lot of robocalls and stuff but she doesn't have nearly as many offices open as Obama. Leads me to believe they are wasting a lot on high-priced consultants.

7. she has plenty of money, she raised $18.5 million in January with Hillary's loan
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 10:42 PM by Herman Munster
The problem is Obama raised $32 million. It's kind of like a situation where you think raising a $100 million is a lot but if your opponent raises $200 million, what do you have?

8. She has still raised more overall
And I honestly can't see what her campaign has gotten for their money. nt
