They are rolling in. Pretty much everybody but the ones I was curious about are in. McCain did a little better than I had expected. I Wish i had the extra money to send some to Kucinich to help close out the books.

1. Yowza, looks at Romney's

$44 MILLION IN DEBT!!!

[quakerboy]

2. Somehow I have doubts that that

weighs on his mind the way a mere 4k car loan weighs on mine.

On edit, It looks like 42 million of it is just owed back to himself.

[TexasBushwhacker]

7. Yeah, you're probably right about owing it to himself

No wonder wifey pulled the plug! That's a lotta bling!

[rurallib]

3. Think of the good he COULD have done with that

Well rich men must have hobbies.

[grantcart]

4. Cox puts in a $ 1000 for his VP lol

[berni_mccoy]

5. McCain's Got Twenty Million (after clearing out a million in debt). That's 20 that Clinton doesn't

have.

[Barack_America]

6. Obama's is up.

http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2008/M5/C00431445.html

$47 million cash on hand.

$2 million in debts.

Looking good! Wow is he loaded!

[goclark]

8. Looking good Obama and now if

HC will give us her fake numbers ASAP ~ To morrrow, To morrow it's only a month away!
:puke:

12. The 2 million in debt makes me a bit nerves.

He should pay that down as soon as possible.

[msallied]

25. I agree, but he'll have more than enough to wrap it up

when he becomes the nominee.

[anigbrowl]

26. It's not like he's strapped for cash

It's a short list; half of it is to his direct mail company, all obvious business expenses.

9. 12:00 Eastern, Hers Not Up

[WA98296]

10. Apparently it's on a Need-to-know basis

[slinkerwink]

13. anything else?

[Thrill]

11. 200,000 new donors for Obama? wow

[mcctatas]

14. Am I just missing Hillary's....

or did the dog eat her homework?

[rasputin1952]

15. "Friends of Fred Thompson"...WTF...he has friends????

:D

[WA98296]

16. Well, that IS news!

[Barack_America]

17. That's where the debt comes in.

Friendship with Fred Thompson requires *incentives*

[anigbrowl]

27. ROFL!

[Barack_America]

18. Dear FEC, please update your fucking site.

I'm tired.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Kristi "Hussein" 1696

19. Clinton's up

but there's no data in it!!!!

Empty, M/T, El Blanco...

[WA98296]

20. So is her account.

[Barack_America]

21. Lol. It's almost as if they heard me. Dodd was the other hold up and his has data...

I guess this means Clinton missed the deadline?

[kwenu]

22. Hillary's link doesn't work. What a surprise.

:sarcasm:

[Barack_America]

23. I'm taking that as a non-submission.

What else could it mean?

Dodd was the other late one, but his comes up just fine.

[quakerboy]

24. And we have numbers

Obama started with 51 million. Received 32 million. Spent 36 million. Ended with 47 million. Accounting for 2 million of debt, that is a balance of 45 million in the bank

Hillary started with 32 million. Received 27 million. Spent 29 million. Ended with 30 million. Accounting for 19 million of debt, that is a balance of 11 million in the bank.


I will note once more, the whole "he outspent me" argument is bunk. 36 million VS 29 million. Not 2 to 1, 3 to one, 4 to one, or any other ridiculous number you can pull out of nowhere.
