Just like Romney, Hillary is going to self-finance her campaign run
No wonder Bill recently cashed-out nearly $20 million from his private equity company recently.

I wonder how the public will react to this.

4. Kerry loaned his campaign his own money in 2004
Turned out to be a very smart move on his part.

It would be a shame to lose a campaign for anybody because their opponent raised more dough...

7. Once again, we are judging the worthiness of a candidate by the amount
of money they raise.

That is simply not a good meter of ability, nor does it indicate how they will perform once in office.

Money = bad. Everyone should understand this by now. :eyes:

11. Oh, but it changes regularly
Hillary was raising a lot of money, therefore she was the money machine candidate.
Now she's not raising as much as Obama, so she's the loser who can't raise money.

9. No evidence once so ever to back up the OP.
They asked Wolfson if Clinton was going to finance her own campaign, and he said "I don't know"

The Obama supporters are spinning that as "Yes"

Go figure! It's spin day on DU!

12. Even If They Spend Their Own Money I Don't Have A Problem
It would be a shame to lose a race just because you were outspent...

The difference between Romney's spending and Clintons' spending is at least they are seeing a return on their investment...
