Reply #67: She raised $13.5 million in January [View All]

That's far less than Obama but its far more than is needed to sustain a campaign. At the end of the third week in January, McCain had only raised $7 million.

What the folks at Huffington Post aren't telling us is that on December 31, 2007 Hillary had $38 million in cash on hand while Obama only had $18.6 million.

So adding previous cash to donations for January: Obama has $50.6 million and Hillary has $51.5 million.

Huffington Post offers no evidence that Hillary is broke, just wild speculation. I don't know how much the candidates spent in January but if last year is a guide Hillary is more frugal than Obama.

Huffington Post speculates that Hillary won't be able to raise any more money. No proof is offered. There is nothing preventing new donors from giving to Hillary. Even if she continues at $13.5 million a month that's enough to run a viable campaign.
