10. Queen Hillary thinks it better that we no know about her..
Contributions, nor her tax returns for the last 7 years,

She'll be the judge of how much information the American public should have before the elections.

That's a QUEEN's prerogative?

31. According to TIME, she raised $20 mil in March
"As of Tuesday night, the Clinton campaign had not released its March totals. But one Clinton campaign adviser hinted that the New York Senator's total for the month will come close to $20 million. That estimate could not be independently confirmed."

40. Yeah, BUT ... how much is GE money that she can't spend in the primary?
A lot of it is, just as it was in Feb. Cuz, she's got far fewer donors than Obama and they have maxed out so they can only give to the GE fund. That's why she's not divulging the details until the legal deadline on the 20th. She is tanking contribution-wise. Ouch.

12. Oh the horror of it all... those people voting and endorsing..
When will anyone give Hillary a break and give her the nomination she feel so ENTITLED to have?

This voting and election stuff is not important, only Hillary is important.

Yeah.

11. And yet Hillary says "He can't win."
Good Gawd, these fundraising numbers coming out of Team Obama have got to be scaring the shite out of McCain and the GOP!

And this, in March, his worst political month.

GOBAMA!!!!!!!!!

37. Same here
I hope the media gets the message. My family and friends donated as much as they could in March when the Wright stuff starting coming out. I'm sure the MSM was hoping against hope that either McCain or Hillary's donations were higher. Too bad for them that the people stand behind Obama. I don't even watch MSM anymore. I catch Keith and call it a day.

Obama raises $40 million in March

WASHINGTON - Sen. Barack Obama has raised more than $40 million in March with the help of more than 218,000 new donors.

The amount is less than the record $55 million he raised in February, but still a sizable amount that sustains his place as the fundraising leader among all presidential candidates.

Clinton is expected to have raised about $20 million in March, but her campaign has not announced any totals. Details of their March fundraising will be made public in official reports filed with the Federal Election Commission April 20.


Go rank it up!

Obamanos!

39. I made my first contribution to him in March
Right after the "race" speech. I'm encouraging people to give, even if it's only $5-10. This ups his donor list and makes him look even more formidable as a nominee.
