Perhaps she is thinking that a victory in PA will infuse her campaign with some cash. She will probably get some donations if she wins.

Notice that Senator Clinton only had $8 million in cash, so she had $2.3 million less than she would need to pay off the $10.3 million in debt.

In April, she's spent heavily, and she can't have raised more than March. The hole is now as deep or deeper.

That means that even a post-PA infusion of cash might only be enough to pay off her existing debt, not enough to keep campaigning.

Unless, of course, she really wants to do it on her own nickel just to make sure we know which Democrat is the weak one.

So what happens if she does not bring in enough money primary funds to pay the vendors? I think no GE funds can be used for primary debts. So if she pulls out of the primary race and her campaign is effectively broke, can the vendors by law sue her personally since her campaign would cease to exist as an entity?

Roll out Elton John again! She needs more money...

Wow. Thanks for the link.

And Obama still can't seal the deal. Millions more in money and he isn't even close to ending it. One has to wonder how "empty" will fair if he does get the nomination.

No problem. Look at the Clinton Tax filings. Hillary will have no problem getting one of those pay day loans. All she will have to do is show them a copy of Bill's $800,000.00 check from the Columbia Trade Pushers.

So, the real reason Hillary calls it a Red Phone is because she has not paid for it!!!

Let's see....
She can't run a coherent campaign, run a fiscally viable campaign, she can't be civil and uplifting, has no real plan except to stay the course, etc. Am I missing something, or is she using dubaya's play book? Hey, maybe she can get the supreme court to overturn the primary.

McCain/Clinton 2008

I have read several comments over at DKos saying that if she ended her campaign in the red, she could pay off campaign debt with primary campaign funds, as long as the donor gave permission.

Understanding the concept of a "Pyrrhic Victory," Senator Obama has forced Senator You-Know-Her to bankrupt her campaign (for the second time) fighting to win a campaign battle that she thought she could take gratis. Like the Greek King Pyrrhus said after "winning" a battle but losing most of his army doing it: "One more victory like this and we are undone!"

Recognizing that he might well come up short in Pennsylvania, Senator Obama has correctly calculated that significantly raising the costs of "winning" to You-Know-Her will effectively make any likely "win" by her a financial and public-relations disaster. He can afford to "lose" once in awhile while she can't even affford to "win."

I stated earlier today that HRC signature claims to anything managerial...whether healthcare or the management of her campaign have all been complete failures.

At this point why people would even contemplate voting for her considering the evidence of her lack of experience and management skills baffles me.

"I'm running on a lifetime of experience"

HRC

How could he have "sealed the deal?" Here are the facts: Obama has the lead and HRC cannot, under any circumstances, get the nom without super dels who are not scheduled to vote until damn near labor day. Meanwhile, HRC has decided that under no circumstances will she leave the race before the actual casting of the votes at the convention by regular and super dels. How then (and I suggest you seek the aid of a calendar at this point) can he "seal the deal"? Does your definition of "seal the deal" include something beyond HRC having no mathematic or practical chance of getting the nomination?

This has to be the end, unless there has been a sudden flood of small online donors (in which case we would have heard about it 24/7 from the campaign, and also there would have been a national stupid virus epidemic alert). The key factor, I think, is that TV stations require cash up front. So while she can carry millions in debts to other vendors, she can't continue to go on the air without money.

Most likely I think she will win by several digits tomorrow (5? 8? who the heck knows) and limp along into IN and NC -- but given the $ factor even that may no longer be possible. I just have to hope that Obama was saying "we're close" for a darn good reason today, as he enjoyed his waffle and, yes by God, his orange juice.
