Donations are flooding in to HillaryClinton.com tonight---more than ever during this primary season.

[Maddy McCall]

On MSNBC,Tim Russert just said that donations are pouring in to www.hillaryclinton.com ...that those donations started before her speech and continued through her speech...that she's receiving more donations than at any previous time in this primary.

Hillary's candidacy is NOT dead. Not by a long shot. The Obama supporters and pundits who hoped to sound the death knell tonight must be disappointed.


Woohoo! Go, Americans!!! :woohoo:

[krawhitham]

1. Or so they claim

[avrdream]

97. Here is a copy of my receipt.

XXXXXXX CA 95677

Pertinent details omitted, of course.

2 doctors I work with just sent the maximum allowed today.

[datopbanana]

98. What a weird post. Why did you feel the need to submit proof?

[NightWatcher]

2. she was begging like a tv preacher

[sorrybushisfromtexas]

7. He will outraise her 2 -3 times this month.

She's broke.

poor Hillary.

Turn out the lights, the party's over.

[Secret_Society]

24. Money can only buy so much

We saw that tonight

[sorrybushisfromtexas]

31. How can she win the states he is ahead in

He brought down the margin to single digits with money.

She is broke.

Sorry,

She can't win.

[blm]

82. And Hillary's $$ can't BUY the math. She's working for BushInc to get McCain in, now.

.

[bridgit]

52. If he intends to keep out spenig her 3 ~ 4:1, he'll *have* to...

[blm]

84. She can spend 5:1 at this point and STILL not buy the MATH. BushInc told her to protect McCain

and she's doing what Clintons always do - whatever BushInc needs.

[bridgit]

88. Stop reading those tabloids in the grocery store check out ...

It's not good for your nerve sheath in the long run :spank:

[blm]

99. Try reading the National Security Archives.

INSTEAD of Clinton fan sites.

[bridgit]

105. I have the link right here in my favs, you Obama people aren't capable of much more

than the most vapid presumptions-------------->you = :dunce:

[trueblue2007]

43. You're a liar. She was not BEGGING.

Just a little comment about donating. Big Whoop!!!

Donating to Hillary is a good cause.

[krawhitham]

70. She was begging

[krkaufman]

72. Requesting donations during a victory speech is the equivalent.

No, she wasn't on her knees, but it's definitely a desperate sign.

[bridgit]

51. Pft-Bhwuhahahahahaha, XXX-cellent...

to see someone so comfortable whistling past the graveyard

[Melinda]

3. Hey Maddy -- congrats on Hillary's victory tonight.

I am happy for you and all HRC supporters (but mostly for you) ;):hug:

[Maddy McCall]

14. Awww....thank you so much, Melinda.

You are such a sweetheart. Such a considerate person. :loveya: :hug:

[juajen]

35. Thank you so much from this Hillary supporter.

I appreciate your post and sincerity.

[trueblue2007]

40. I'm donating as much as I can. 25 bucks tomorrow. ~I wish I was employed~

I would give more.

[rodeodance]

56. your's mean much --it is from the heart. Thank you.

[Melinda]

47. Thanks for that, juan! We'll all come back together once we have a nominee...

cause afterall, once our crazy passions for our candidate subsides, we are all democrats and together we will have a democratic POTUS in 2008. toast:

[TTUBatfan2008]

4. Go Americans?

Typical cheap shot at Obama. Pathetic really.

[Kittycat]

11. Bomb Bomb McClinton's entire campaign offends one's conscious

I can't fucking wait for my ignore to come back.

[aquart]

55. Yes, ignorance IS bliss for Obama supporters, isn't it?

[rodeodance]

59. Rude and immature behavior. and tacky.

[Maddy McCall]

18. Um...you're imagining something. I have no idea what.

:eyes:

[TTUBatfan2008]

27. Then why did you use that phrase?

What was the intent of saying "Go Americans" in this thread? Both candidates are Americans. Both candidates' supporters are Americans. Why does one winning automatically ring the bell, "Go Americans" to you? You typed it. Now explain it.

[Maddy McCall]

Ummmm.....Because her donors are Americans?

Good god, the tenor of your post makes you sound woefully paranoid.

:eyes:

[TTUBatfan2008]

42. More like I'm sick of all the crap I've seen posted around here...

from supporters of both. It seemed odd to me, that's all. Everyone involved in the campaign is American, including Obama's donors. If it was me, I woulda just put "Go Obama" or something.

[Maddy McCall]

48. Then GTFO of here if it makes you so angry.

:shrug: That seems like the best remedy to your problem.

[TTUBatfan2008]

49. Not angry enough to leave...

most of the time I find it pretty damn amusing quite honestly. Lots of spin from both sides in here. Not as bad (cringe-worthy) as watching the spinmeisters from both sides on TV, so it's a bit more humorous.

[rodeodance]

54. Rec and thanks for the great photos and info.

[MercutioATC]

73. Well, except for Elton John, that is....

...and that's being investigated.

[MonkeyFunk]

37. Why should she have to respond

to your ridiculous objection?

[GetTheRightVote]

5. So sorry to rain on your parade but it is over she just won't accept it

as she should to bad since until I did not dislike her like I do now.

[Ronnie]

81. Is there something wrong with your keyboard?

[DJ13]

6. At $5 apiece?

:rofl:

[Orangepeel]

8. well, good for her. she needed it like a jolt with a defibrillator

Her campaign will live at least 2 more weeks.

[Kittycat]

20. At least she'll be able to pay the hospital bill now... And Penn

[OzarkDem]

People aren't listening to the news media any longer

They realize Clinton really is going to win, in spite of all the media cheerleading for Obama.

[yourguide]

22. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Baghdad ozark dem!

[kevinbgoode]

29. Yes...I keep waiting for someone to ask about her flag lapel pin

[Auntie Bush]

34. Yeah, DU isn't the real world across America.

[rwheeler31]

Yeah let Rupport Murdok finance her.

[MonkeyFunk]

13. I'm going out on a limb

and guessing you're not a proofreader, are you?

[CreekDog]

9. wow, if this keeps up

she may be able to climb to $0. :think:

[bigtree]

10. I just hit that

Act Blue

[SoonerPride]

12. If it keeps up at this pace, she might be debt free by next Monday.

Seriously, she's in debt up to her eyeballs.

[yourguide]

26. you mean by 2009 dont you?

[CoffeeCat]

15. It's all about the pledged delegates...

...everything else is just spin and noise.

Hillary's asking all of us to listen to her spin and noise for a few more weeks, despite the
fact that Obama will be our nominee.

If you can find some kind of misguided hope in that...you go.

I guess people need to come out of denial on their own time.

[kevinbgoode]

16. So, Republicans are finally opening their purses to support their

candidate.

[aquart]

61. It's Obama who said he'll be reaching across that aisle.

I assume he meant into their pockets.

[kevinbgoode]

86. I think it was Rush and Ann Coulter who very publicly endorsed

Clinton - and they are certainly capable of putting their money where their considerable mouths are. . .surely the dittoheads are kicking in some bucks now for their chosen candidate.

[aquart]

91. So you cleverly rushed and did the opposite?

What brilliance!

[yourout]

17. Its like a Jerry Lewis telethon. Very unbecoming.

[aquart]

63. You mean she was honest about needing money? Heaven forfend.

[rodeodance]

65. It is very unbecoming of you to lower yourself to the level of belittling HRC supporters.

[GoldieAZ49]

19. WOOHOO!!!!!!! on to the convention!

:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

[juajen]

21. Great pictures, Maddy.

K & R, baby, K & R

[Maddy McCall]

44. I love them....

they are great photos.

If you've never looked at the Getty daylife website, check it out!

http://www.daylife.com/topic/Hillary_Rodham_Clinton/photos/all

[GoesTo11]

23. How much do you think she'll raise tonight?

$5 x 1 million donors = $5Million?

[ScarletSniper]

36. Paul Begala on CNN said they've raised about 500K...he got it on his Blackberry from the camp

[rainbow4321]

50. So they are now only 9.5 mil in debt Wooo-hooo!

[MercutioATC]

75. So these donations "pouring in" are less than half of Obama's regular pace?

To be generous, let's say she gets $1M in the first 24 hours.

If she can keep up that pace EVERY DAY for the next 29 days, she's still only generating 75% of what Obama does.

[importDavid]

25. I've been waiting...

I've been waiting to donate to Obama's campaign so I just sent him $250.

I'll do that every single primary until she conceeds or the DNC pulls the plug on her.

Gobama!

[stevietheman]

68. I just donated my first money to Obama tonight as well... proof he still has a lot of...

untapped financial support. He'll easily surpass Hillary in fundraising yet again this month.

[cliffordu]

28. You got any numbers??

Is she able to pay those middle schools out west yet??

[BlueIdaho]

30. Just so long as

The Clinton's get to keep their 109 million bucks in the bank where it belongs - Yes they will!

[CreekDog]

32. is she up to $0 yet?

:shrug:

[Obamanaut]

33. Maybe she'll raise enough to pay her bills. nt

[BootinUp]

38. I hope this is true! Thanks Maddy.

:)

I would give more if I could, maybe in a couple weeks.

[TLM]

39. She can raise 10 million tonight..... and that'll just bring her to ZERO! n/t

[file83]

89. And the next 10 million is already spent! Wooo-hoooo!

:sarcasm:

[Honeycombe8]

41. HA! That's because HRC sent an e-mail asking for $5 donations earlier so they could say donations .

are coming in!!!!!!

Notice how they don't say the AMOUNT!????? HAHAHAHAHA.

That is the Clinton campaign for you. All show. No substance. No ethics. No truth. Just flash and show...sing a little song, dance a little dance, give me yer vote, and poof! the real HRC vanishes.

[aquart]

95. Making people feel they could contribute even if they weren't millionaires.

Exactly the kind of small contribution you thought was so wonderful when it was Obama begging for them.

But never mind the hypocrisy. You guys are so funny tonight!

[Honeycombe8]

101. It was predicted BEFORE the win by pundits (who also got her begging e-mail) that the reason...

for the e-mail was so her campaign could claim that the # of people contributing were just FLOODING in!

It turned out to be true.

Obama's contributors were always welcome to contribute $5 (altho I don't think you'll find a post of mine referencing the amount of any "real" contribution, because I didn't ever say such a thing). But the reality is...he had so many contributors that the AMOUNT of money he has gotten has dwarfed ALL OTHER CANDIDATES IN THE HISTORY OF OUR NATION.

The people have spoken. Obama is the nominee. If Clinton cared about the Dems winning in November, she'd gracefully bow out. But if she doesn't get the nomination, she wants McCain to win, so she can run again in 2012. See the kind of person she is? Just like Bush.

[SoCalDem]

45. Aaaw. little lemmings cracking open their piggie banks

how sweet :) I hope they did not give her their credit card numbers..:scared:

[aquart]

57. Oooh, a snide, unexplained insult. Ooooooh.

Were none of you actually toilet trained?

[bridgit]

62. Oooh, Miss Jackson if you're nasty...well you know her supporters are said to be...

under-educated, under 50K/yr, crass, low-base IQ wannabe whiskey swilling beer drinking gun tote'n god clinging dark sided back sliding working poor the dumb bastards you give them way too much credit for even knowing what a piggie bank is ;)

[SoCalDem]

67. Who you talkin' to Willis? Ms Jackson?

:rofl:

just having some fun :)

[bridgit]

69. LOL, you got that right...

:spray: :hi:

[BlueStateGirl]

46. I sent another $50.

[rodeodance]

66. Thanks. Any amount shows her that her supporters believe in her:-)

[RareLubbockDem]

53. Actually, her mouthpiece said that.. and we all know

how reliable they are. He was dodging sniper fire as he said it.

[Phillycat]

58. I heard a report she got 500K already today.

My county went for Obama, but by LESS than 1000 votes, and it was supposed to break heavily for him. (Delaware County). I was glad I contributed to keeping her vote totals up here. His support did NOT extend out of Philly for the most part and the Pittsburgh Obama effort was an epic fail. 10 points up as of right now. I'd say it was a pretty good day. :)

[UALRBSofL]

60. Maddy, thank you for the wonderful post

The photos of the young people looked great. :)

K/R

[cwydro]

64. Thank you Maddy!

I haven't been in here in ages, but just checking in tonight it seems DU has been taken over by some sort of Groupthink.

I am amazed at the vitriol expressed by Obama's supporters. What a shame.

And too bad those of us in Florida found our votes don't count.

[Justitia]

71. Yay! More $$$ for more wars & killing people around the globe!

Not to mention, destroying the Democratic Party in the process - it's the Clintonian way.

[aquart]

93. The only destruction I see is from the totalitarians who follow Obama.

[IndianaGreen]

74. She owes $4 million to Mark Penn

Suckers!

[Stinky The Clown]

76. I envy you your enthusiasm .... but .......

.... not to be snarky, but how can she win the nomination?

I'm not an expert delegate counter (I can't even balance my checkbook), but it seems to be pretty widely accepted that she would have to win at a rate of 60% - 70% for each of the remaining primary states. I really don't think anyone can do that.

[progressoid]

77. She's gonna need it!

A greater concern in the shorter term for Mrs. Clinton is fundraising: She raised $21 million in March, compared with Mr. Obama’s $42 million, and her campaign faces a cash squeeze as unpaid bills mount and she spends more money than she is taking in, according to new campaign finance filings.

Mrs. Clinton currently has $10.3 million in outstanding primary debts but only $9.5 million available to cover them, leaving an $800,000 shortfall at the end of March. In February, the Clinton campaign had unpaid bills of $8.7 million and $11.7 million in cash.

By comparison, Mr. Obama had $43 million in cash for the coming primaries and a campaign debt of less than $660,000 at the end of March. Mr. Obama is spending 75 cents for every dollar he is taking in; Mrs. Clinton is spending $1.10.

[musicblind]

78. I am one of those people! I donated to her during the speech! :)

[donheld]

79. I'm sending 50 cents

Ok so I lie.

[jefferson_dem]

80. I heart this pic of Hillary being interviewed via satellite for Taylor Marsh's podcast...

And this one --

[Emit]

83. Mark Penn thanks you all.

[ruby slippers]

94. she still "owes" Mark Penn...he hasn't been paid yet.

[madrchsod]

85. 2.5 million so far according to her staff

i just read it on huffington`s site....

[RareLubbockDem]

87. and they're sooo trustworthy, right?

I've never seen such a blatant beg for cash in my life. How embarrassing...

[scheming daemons]

90. 2.5 million will last about 3 or 4 days...... what then?

...will she make it to May 6 with *ANY* money left?


Her car just passed Obama's on the highway.... but his tank is full, and hers is empty and she's running on fumes.

[JackBeck]

92. 7 million to go...

[ruby slippers]

96. all the Obama supporters were redirected to her website when

it was "hacked"....

Watch Youtube Video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKjomr1Afq0

[cali]

100. It's dead. She didn't win by enough

and the SDs will stick the fork in, dear. Governor Henry endorsed this morning, despite his earlier pledge to not endorse. And he endorsed Obama- of course.

[Vinca]

102. That's good. Maybe she can pay some of the small businesses

and schools that are on the brink of sending bills to collection.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

103. Those pictures are wonderful! Thanks for posting.

The Senator from NY received some of my hard earned dinero today.

It was a pleasure. :-)

[dionysus]

104. cool, they can afford to pay off that 10 million debt....

:rofl:

[Raffi Ella]

106. WOooooooooooooo!!!!!

RISE HILLARY! RISE!!!!!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[AtomicKitten]

107. Those tax cuts for the rich are fueling Operation Chaos & "support" for your de facto GOP candidate.

You must be so proud.
