Hillary's campaign is officially broke! (Details inside)
At the end of March, Hillary had 8 million dollars available for the primary.

At the same time her campaign reported debts of up to 10.3 million dollars. That does put her campaign in red numbers.

She also spent 22.5 million dollars in March. I am certain that she has spent more than that in April given the Pennsylvania primary approaching.

6. She is running all those 100% negative ads in PA. That's going to cost a pretty penny.
Where is she going to find the money to pay all these vendors back?

Who is going to be foolish enough to donate to her campaign?

9. Not too many people will donate to her campaign.
That is why he supporters are running around crying about the money disadvantage.

13. That is very sad. They are forcing themselves on this primary.
Her supporters know it too. They know that they wont catch Obama in the delegate count but they expect the SDs to come and hand the nomination to Hillary.

I am sorry but that is now how it works.

How deep in red is she willing to go?

26. That's the point of Obama's heavy campaigning in PA
He's getting her to empty out her warchest defending her home territory so she can't make inroads in NC or Indiana.

11. Hillary raised almost $7,000,000 from Washington, D.C.
That's more than a third of her total and ten time Obama's D.C. receipts.

Obama outraised Clinton in contributions in the reporting period from New York, her home state.

19. HOLY SHIT
Of the 20 million dollars she raised almost half of it was raised on the last day

22. Wait - that means she had only pulled in $12 m for march
including her bump from TX/OH...until she got this $8 million bump on the last day. Talk about a bailout! And she's got $8 million available to spend in the primary...likely just a coincidence (as big donors might have been contributing to the GE fund) but basically her campaign is running on fumes.
