"We WILL HAVE the resources that we need to compete," said Wolfson.
From Bigleaf's post here
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5391217&mesg_id=5391217


I bring this up because we've suddenly reached the end of another month (and the start of another money-maniacal news cycle)--and only by looking back at February can we see how bleak March looks for Clinton. As usual, her financial fate doesn't seem particularly dire on its face. According to the Politico's Ben Smith, a Clinton campaign source says the candidate raised about $20 million for the month--her second-best finish to date, which isn't shabby for period largely lacking in competitive primaries. But if February's tally revealed anything, it's that Clinton has been unable to expand her donor base far enough beyond the traditional networks of wealthy Democrats; the $23 million gap between primary and general election funds proved that many of these contributors had long given the $2,300 maximum donation for the primary, and were now providing an additional $2,300 for the general only to inflate Clinton's monthly total and spur positive coverage. Assuming the pattern holds, it's unlikely that Clinton raised more than $7 million that she can actually use against Obama--less, you'll notice, than last month's debt, which is probably still outstanding. (And that's not even counting the $5 million Clinton loaned her campaign at the end of January.) In any case, we won't know for sure until--you guessed it--April 20. On a conference call this morning, Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson refused to confirm the $20 million figure and reminded reporters that the campaign would not release its numbers until required by law. "We will have the resources that we need to compete," said Wolfson. Not exactly a confidence booster.

5. Of course they have the resources if the Clintons are sitting
on tens of millions of dollars in personal wealth. If they REALLY want it, they can dip into the family fortune the way Romney did.

7. Would you WASTE millions of your own dollars knowing you might as well flush them down the toilet?
She's done and she knows it, her inner circle knows it and on the 20th everyone will know it.

9. Dipping into the family fortune would be the moment of truth, wouldn't it?
If she believes in herself so much, she shouldn't ask some poor slob who can barely fill his tank with gas for money, she ought to use her own money.
