True fact: Obama has 38M on hand, Hillary has 17M on hand. |
|
Obama also has 660K in debt, and Hillary has over 10M in debt.
Who do you really trust to be your PRESIDENT?!
I leave that question to your hands.
And I bid you a good night!

1. It will be far worse once the next report comes out. |
|
She has likely had to empty the warchest to slow Obama in PA. And while she will pick up donations after PA. It will not make up for stunning amounts of drain on the warchest.
She is going to be going into May QUITE weak.

I read right there 51 mill. He raised 42 mill in March. I already posted the real numbers, they're down the page a little.
edit: see post 11

3. That Shows How Deperate Obama's Become |
|
He feels that he needs to have all of that cash on hand to beat Clinton.
:sarcasm:, OK?

5. $8 million for the primary available at the beginning of April. Debts of $10.3 million |
|
Edited on Mon Apr-21-08 12:14 AM by dkf
She is in the red $2 million at the beginning of April plus her $5 million loan. I bet she needed to do another loan to fund April ads. http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hcoilzhWtvfWBl2MqCAEW8J3UQKgD9061TIO0

13. She has to win the primary or she can't pay her loan back |
|
That's why she won't drop out. She has $5 million on the line!

6. AP is reporting that he has $42 million, she $8 million. |
|
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/04/20/campaign.finance.ap/index.htmlIs this wrong? I don't understand the discrepancy. Did they deduct her debt or something?

The amount on hand is $17 million, but she has over 10M.. so they thoughtfully deducted all her debt load from the cash on hand to around 7m, and they spun it up to 8M.
See? I can figure out AP's logic.
And yet, they're wrong.

15. How did they get a higher number for Obama than you did? |
|
That's still confusing me.

16. 8 million left after you deduct GE funds right.. |
|
I don't think 8 million is counting debt.

11. Those are amounts available to spend on the primary |
|
Obama has 51 mill cash on hand, 9 mill specifically for GE
Hillary has 31 mill cash on hand, 23 mill specifically for GE
I guess a lot of Hillary's supporters are maxed out already :)

I would like to point out that, coincidentally, so far in the primaries, 38 million people have voted for a Democratic candidate and 17 million have voted for a Repub. The media have been very careful not to emphasize the huge disparity in the overall vote. That's why it is so obvious that they will try to steal the vote again. The polls would want us to believe that McCain is neck-in-neck with either of the Dems. Statistically impossible. And believe me, the Republicans are spending a HUGE amount of money to influence the polls.
