Politico is saying Obama wins delegates 847-830; Clinton may be self-financing campaign now
From Sludge (take it for what it's worth)

CLINTONS MAY NOW BE USING THEIR OWN MONEY TO FINANCE HILLARY'S RUN... When asked if Clintons were dipping into their personal wealth, communications director Howard Wolfson said: 'I don't know'...Developing...




BTW, the delegate counts are www.politico.com

5. Probably true
Yet it seems that the crap Drudge stories flow that way into the mainstream media at large. Drudge Report to NBC.

13. "I don't know" was spun into "maybe" - sounds like a logical conclusion
If the Clinton communications director says "I don't know", it makes sense to conclude that it is possible, which is what "maybe" means.

12. Yep, I heard it.......
even when Hillary wins it is not really a win because she only won by 10 or 14 points and Obama managed that with only a week. It is amusing.

7. Why won't the Clintons release their 2006 tax returns? What are they hiding?
they better not be self-funding if they still refuse to release their taxes.
