How much debt will the Clinton campaign disclose tomorrow?
The NYT just posted a piece for tomorrow's paper previewing Clinton's money woes.

Official fundraising numbers for March are due to the FEC tomorrow. My guess is that, even with the 20 million the campaign says it raised last month, the Clinton campaign will report less than ten million cash on hand for the primary, and will have debts of over 10 million (excluding the 5 million she loaned herself).

Any other guesses?

3. We can't even begin to calculate the ethical deficit the Clintons
have run up in the last three months.

And it saddens me, because there was a time when I considered the Clintons to be the Democratic Party's "first family".

4. It can't be good, or she wouldn't be waiting until the last day to announce it.
I won't be surprised at all if she has continued to spend more than she is bringing in.

5. We will see another loan next month
I'm betting she waited till April Fool's day to fork over some more cash ala Romney. The sad thing is, after this is over people will donate to help her pay off her campaigns debts.

6. I was actually wondering if she can use the $21 million currently
in the Clinton bank for the General Election to cover debts or does she have to return it to the donors.

Any ideas?
