HAAAA HAAAA: Hillary "Loans" Self $5M; Obama Gets $6M From The People In 24 Hours

Straight from the Department of Adding Insult To Injury,

Earlier today, the Clinton campaign admitted that she had written her campaign a check for $5M in the month of January, yes the month in which Obama cleared $32M. I don't even want to think of where that loot came from.

On top of this embarrassing news, Obama has raised nearly $6M SINCE THE SUPER TUESDAY POLLS CLOSED YESTERDAY.



This will be an sad headline for HRC tomorrow.

Can I just say this again real quick?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Then again, Jesse Jackson ran a great campaign in 1984 and 1988.

There's two outcomes of this. First is, of course, the sense that Hillary's campaign is losing momentum. That's inside baseball. The second is a reminder to Americans, particularly working-class Americans, that Hillary HAS $5M to loan to her campaign. Or maybe it's Chelsea, since she does work for a hedge fund.

Um, I'm no Hillary fan, but apparently she also raised something like $6 million right after Super Tuesday from independent donors (i.e. not her own bank account). The fact that she has been so bad at getting the word out speaks volumes about the deficiencies in her campaign, but she is raising money out there.
