if there's no evidence of hillary working with limbugh, than why did bill clinton agree to do an interview, with rush, after the ohio/texas primaries? hillary donors, watch hillary drop huge sums on the big shots in her campagin right before she drops out. penn has already received $10 mil. than watch how the big shots will make huge donations to the clinton library, and wa-la, your hard earned donations wind up right in the clintons lap. wise up america.

[zebstar]

Well I'll have to give another $100 to Hillary. The new goal is 6 million.

[iPolitics]

$3m in 24 hours. Obama did that for the whole month give or take a few dollars

[independentrepublicrat]

Obama raised $55 million in February to her $35 million (less $15 million in debts owed). We will fund our candidate until this last straggling dog is dead.

[hazmaq]

We''ll call AND raise you another 55 MILLION DOLLARS!!

Obama raised 55 Mil. in February, and he didn't have to cry , or whine,. or complain or attack or pander to get one dime of it. 'Inspiration' does have it's finer points.

And just a few days ago the RNCC said, "Oh we've got 25 million and we'll be fine? HA!

[BionicWoman]

Actually, it is $4 million. Money is coming in so fast that the media can't keep up.

[Didi47]

Bravo Hillary! America has finally been allowed to get a glimpse of the truth and are letting you know loud and clear they trust you!!

Go Hillary !

[willhunter]

How much is she getting from lobbyists and PACs? Is the donor list available somewhere?

[independentrepublicrat]

80%

[Didi47]

Sure willhunter:

Right after YOU supply Obama's lobbyist and PAC's donor list.

[V4Vigilance]

Don't forget Rush Limbaugh and mAnn Coulter...

Did Mark Penn need more doughnuts??

[brwnizofmine]

Some talking points for you Barack!

Bill Clinton has taken lots of money from the Dubai government, but he is still an American, as far as I know.

Bill Clinton lobbied to put our U.S. ports in the hands of the United Arab Emirates, but he is not a traitor, as far as I know.

The $5 million Hillary and Bill loaned her campaign was certainly money from Arabs, but it wasn't from Osama Bin Laden, as far as I know.

Hillary endorsed McCain over Obama, but she is still a Democrat, as far as I know.

Hillary is fighting to destroy the Democratic Party and ensure a Republican victory in the fall, but she is a good person, as far as I know.

BREAKING:

Here' the 'inside' story on how she did it!!

The Shrew raises $3MM: SO!

[AjicNYC]

I was a big fan of hers and own 2 of her books. What happened why are you losing a fan? Your site is so skewed to obama with your guided hand to blame. America’s vote is pretty much split around 10 million each, right? With obama up by 400-600 thousand. But this post acts like America has voted 20 million for obama and like 2 people for Hill, this post does not represent America nor does it represent fair news. So continue to loose the voice of American’s diversity and Embrace your one sided “yes men” bloggers. I will not vote for Obama! And granted I was in favor of Hill from the start but huffpo really turned me off Obama

[dm92]

Fine, then neither of them will be president - those high negatives you've heard about forever - guess what - they're still here.

[nochickenhawk]

Good riddance, and I hope your comment was your swan song on HuffPo. It's not likely, though, you'll be back. This site is so "skewed" that it allows Clinton herself to post here and all kinds of diatribe by her supporters like Taylor Marsh and Joseph Wilson. (I thank God BTW that I never made the donation I was considering to the Wilson/Plame defense fund.)

[MarkieBee001]

Don't forget the hack Earl Hutchison. Still trying to peg that dude's credentials down. They're about as hard to find as Hillary's tax returns from 2000-2006.

[BionicWoman]

AjicNYC: I agree - I am a big fan of Hillary's and if she looses I will change party and vote for McCain. Experience matters. These moronic sexist jerks on the HuffPo website and ready to hand Iraq over to BozObama. They gladly hand the lives of our brave young men and women to this guy who does not have a clue about war. All the generals are standing with Hillary. They are just shaking their heads at Obama. She may have made on mistake in her vote for the war - these horrible monsters posting on this website are ready to murder our soldiers and masacre the Iraqi public. Cowards and scum.

What a pleasure it will be to watch Hillary destroy this jerk and all his despicable followers.

[V4Vigilance]

Nice to see the GOP trolls come out to fan the flames of Hillary's "me or McCain" rhetoric.

OBAMA '08

[V4Vigilance]

It's amusing to see all you Clintonistas avoid like the plague "the word that shall not be spoken"...

DELEGATES

LOL

Everybody knows that there's a better chance that Bush & Cheney will divorce their spouses and elope to MA than HRC will make an appreciable dent in Obama's delegate lead, let alone catch and pass him.

Recent history shows the folly of relying on the popular vote in presidential politics but what the hey, let's talk popular vote. I'll even use your undocumented numbers and the low end of the range you cite. OBAMA 10.2M of 20M votes = 51%. Say isn't that the percentage that HRC got in the TX primary she's crowing about winning this week?

Lastly, if you're looking for a place where you'll fit in and won't have to worry about people challenging the Clinton campaign's slimy race-baiting, fear-mongering and "politics as usual", here you go.

OBAMA '08

[Didi47]

V4Villigance:

And it's 'disturbing' to continue to NOT SEE any Obama questions answered. No laughing matter, I might add. Not only have the delegates been duped - more importantly so has the public and it's time for the TRUTH to be told.

What IS OBAMA HIDING? Why does the media continue to avoid subjecting him to any kind of scrutiny?

Why are you guys on this blog, not answering any questions about Obama?

America doesn't need a mystery man as President. If he and Michelle can't be subjected to the SAME SCRUTINY Bill and Hillary have.... then he's not TOUGH enough to be President.

So let's see what he's made of. Let's see if he CAN Change and open himself to the public, like HIllary has.

[Didi47]

V4Vigilance:

Count Florida and Hillary is ahead is Delegates! And Obama even ran ads in Florida. I can't wait for a redo!!

[Didi47]

AjicNYC:

I agree too and I hope you'll let as many people know as you possibly can. Another real irony is, Huff Posts and CNN & MSNBC's pundits and announcers seem to be quoting each other's anti Hillary 'catch phrases' and smears... from exactly the same page. It's like they all get a written scipt in the morning and then go on a deliberate anti Hillary smear campaign throughout the day and deep into the night, hoping the public won't notice.

What they are still avoiding though.... is subjecting Obama to any scrutiny whatsoever! And that is their goal and has been all along. it's extremely disturbing to witness what the media - that we trusted to bring us the truth - has become a publicity machine for Obama and the Republicans.
They obviously have nothing but contempt for their viewers and readers even though the public is demanding this Hillary witch hunt cease.... and that they report ethically and fairly.
Last night on CNN ..Cooper 360 I heard him announce they would report on both Hillary and Obama. Well once again they didn't.. They ran their typical Obama commercial, disguised as
a report, with the same pro Obama " political panel" parroting the same anti Hillary message. And this supposed neutral panel.... then went on a 20 minute give Obama advice spree ... that was stunning to behold! Then Anderson Cooper announces that coming up after the commercial they would 'cover Hillary'. Well I tell you..... I waited and waited... and nothing... just more advice to Obama on how he could beat Hillary! Then off to cover McCain.... and that was it! Just disgusting.... and then they go on to ridicule the people for objecting their bias!!
Enough to make one vomit!

[hazmaq]

Ready to lead -to where exactly? She boasts about her position on the Armed Services Committee doesn't she. And she surely is attentive and is PRESENT at each and every meeting -YES??

Then why has she not stood up and said one damn word about the troops STILL having to scrounge for equipment?? And that applies only to those with money. The vast majority of deaths -as we top 4000 -are from the very very young.
http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0306/p03s06-usmi.html

Let her spend those funds to appeal to the limited base of the same dumb f***s that voted Bush back into office in 2004. She will never ever make it to the White House.
The people of the United States are awake, this time.

[Tankan]

I never saw so many dollars wasted so badly!

[pollster08]

Is this supposed to impress someone?? If she raised 3....I'm certain Obama raised double that....lol.

[butchie65]

Hillary had to ask the people to give her money at the speech she gave the other night. How sad is that ? Obama doesn't have to ask and we donate. What is three million, if she is so great, she should have gotten more.

[Mack1124]

I am on Obama and Hillary Clinton's campaign list. They BOTH ask for money all the time. To say that Obama, a politican, don't ask for money is laughable.

If he was so great he would have knocked her out of this campaign after Iowa, after SC, after his 11 state win streak but he didn't.

[AnninCA]

It's good that you do, since he seems to need to spend 4 times more than her in all of the states. Heaven knows how badly he would have lost Texas had it not been for the massive amount of money he spent.

[Didi47]

butchie65:

If you guys have so much money to donate to Obama, how about donating to the patients thrown out of the non profit hospital Michelle works for. It would help the poor and uninsured who were thrown out into the street after being charged 3 times the normal rate; while Michelle got a $200,000.00 raise in salary a week after Obama was elected to the Senate.

I'm sure they would really appreciate the help. Being sick and living on the street, is not what I imagine they expected after helping Obama get elected, ya think?

[Macready]

what do these people see in hillary clinton? she voted for the invasion of Iraq and has not taken responsibility for her vote, she is still blaming the chimp . .. when the chimp called the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organisation; she chimed right in . . she was the only Democratic senator to support kyl/lieberman; she may be a woman but more feminists are against her than are for her . . . is her appeal bill . . . she has only shown herself to be a follower . . . a go-alonger with the bush administration for the most part . .. she has repeatedly shown poor judgement .. . she isn't even a progressive . .. neither Senators Kennedy nor Dodd two very well respected and experienced members of Congress won't back her . .. why are you guys supporting her? Her 3am ad was totally disengenous and her support for mccain was totally disgusting . . .wake up she and bill are repbulican lite . . .

[m4rk0]

For all we know she lent her campaign the $3M using Bill's shady business dealings.

[harrisjb]

Shady business dealings? You mean like raising money to fight AIDS in Africa and raising money to help the victims of the Tsunami and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita? You mean working with state governments, governors and mayors to begin the Greening of America, bypassing our Embarrassment in Chief? You mean raising money to help urban and underprivledged communities the economic stimulus they really need?

Educate yourself on what Bill Clinton really does with his time and money. He is, they are, NOT the people you think they are. http://www.clintonfoundation.org/index.htm

Also: Rezko, Rezko, Rezko. Your candidate is not flawless, my friend. Stop this nonsense.

[hank48188]

well I gave her $300 to prevent the next Jimmy Carter, I wonder how much money Obama is taking in now that his supporters are hearing about all his dirty laundry, Rezko, being friends with the WEATHERMEN TERRORISTS that Bombed the PENTAGON and that Church he belongs to that honored Louis Farrakhan.

[frustratedinohio]

She has courage under fire. More of it than I've ever seen in one person. I want that in a President.

[hazmaq]

Courage under fire? Where and when? Is that how you vote - just ignore the facts? then you're an irresponsible coward.
She's a pathetic bought and paid for brown noser -and here's one of dozens of good examples YOU should know about: not long ago Senator Feinstein tried to pass legislation to place a moratorium on the use of cluster bombing of civilian populations . The majority of the Democratic party -including Obama, and every humanitarian agency in the world including the Red Cross was behind the Democrats efforts. But Hillary said NO. And joined with all of the Republicans to defeat the bill.
Hillary --the Children's Defense Fund leader, Hillary the poor weeping helpless woman, Hillary the mother --voted to drop thousand of toylike child maiming cluster bomblets in areas where children play -and they stay in the soil for decades -like little land mines.

There's your 'courage' - to deliberately maim helpless people in a manner equal to the horrors of napalm.

[dm92]

I know lots of women who've had to show courage when their husbands cheat - does that qualify her tobe president?

[AnninCA]

First of all, she was asked which vote she most regretted in the last debate. Her answer was the Iraq vote. Russert looked surprised. He said, "You regret that?" She looked surprised back and said, "I've never said otherwise!" So unless you are just going to be unfair, the claims she has not apologized are now dead in the water.

Second, I have absolutely been waiting for Hillary to run for president. I've always admired her a lot. I definitely am proud to be a supporter.

Third, she is winning a large portion of women's votes, so I haven't a clue as to how you decided that women are against her.

Fourth, she has, indeed, demonstrated an ability to work in a nonpartisan fashion, something that Obama says he can do better. On this issue, she's got the actual proof of her actions to show she''s been doing it while he was dreaming up his campaign slogan to promise that.

And Finally, that ad may have been a key factor in her wins on Tuesday as people seemed to really take a closer look at Obama and agree with her that she'd be the better Commander in Chief.

Raising 3 million is just a start in momentum.

We're in this all the way to the convention now. Get used to is.

[MarkieBee001]

what proof Ann or her bipartisan triumphs? Once again, I challenge you to show me one substantive bill in the senate that she has AUTHORED and had signed into law. Just one Ann. I've challenged you, oh I don't know, for the past three months to answer my challenge as you haven't and you can't. Her experience is being on a bunch of boards, including Wal- Mart - the most virulent anti-union company in America today. What did she accomplish while a board member at WalMart for six years? She helped with Schip - great - and Laura Bush has helped with a bunch of literacy projects. Great Laura Bush 2012! The only chance we have to compare Obama and Clinton fairly is head-to-head in what they've accomplished as senators. Obama has accomplished much more in half the time. Your challenge has been issued. Get to work.

[Karenina44]

It looks like Mark Penn is getting paid this month.

[harrisjb]

As a firm supporter of Senator Clinton, let me answer your questions:
1. I understand her reasons for her Iraq vote and I forgive her. I think she has has a significantly deeper grasp of foreign policy, not just in the middle east, but on a broad range of issues throughout the world. By the way, I have also forgiven Sen. Obama for voting for the 2005 Energy Plan that gave away BILLIONS to the oil and gas industry. We all make mistakes, but I think she is, by far, the better candidate on foreign policy and her judgment is otherwise excellent.

2. When the chimp called the Iranian Guard a terrorist organization, I agreed with her vote because THEY ARE A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. The Iranian Guard has not only provided, but funded a significant amount of terrorist activity in Iraq as well as Afghanistan and Israel. Lableing them as a terrorist organization allows the justice department to use tools to blunt both the physical and monetary influence of the Iranian Guard. And that is okay by me.

3. She is NOT Bush-Lite or Cheney-lite - You, my fellow progressive, have bought into the Limbaugh bullshit. The reason she has voted "hawkishly" on many national security issues is because she is the SENATOR FROM NEW YORK, and her constituencies want her to keep them safe. But she has cinsistently voted to protect our privacy and she has also fought to protect the rights and increase the benefits of our troops.

4. Why you say she has proven to be a follower is beyond me. The reason the Republicans hate her so much is because she is supposedly a crazy socialist bitch, yet you argue she is as bad as the Republicans. You Obama supporters whine and cry any time Hillary or the press gets tough on your candidate, but do you not think the GOP is will get even more down and dirty if Obama wins? Don't you want to see if he can figure out a way to truly rise above it and overcome those negative attacks? Don't YOU want to make sure he is a fighter??

5. Your problems with Hillary aside, you have to admit that the goal of all liberals should be to make sure John McCain does not win the Presidency. I think the democratic candidate will be able to do that by doing a few things: win FL, OH and NM. To do that, we need to win the latinos, older voters and blue collor voters. Now you tell me which candidate has been consistently winning those groups in LARGE numbers. I know your candidate attracts indies, but don't you think when the GOP attack machine starts, they will abandon him for McCain? Or they won't show up (young ppl where only 16% of the Texas electorate, which is pathetic).

6. The other thing the Dem candidate needs to be is a fighter. I read somewhere yesterday an Obama supporter saying about Hillary's TX and OH victories that someday when Bill and Hillary pass away, people will have to drive steak through their hearts, just to make sure they are really dead. It is an awful thought in reality, but it also has significance to me because the Clinton's are fiery, they are political animals, they are calculating, they are slippery, they are fighter and they NEVER give up, man, NEVER. That is what I want. I want a democratic candidate who will not only reach across the isle, but they will do everything in their power to get things accomplished for the American people. The Clintons know how to do that better than any Democrats in our recent party history.

I don't want to lose in November and I support Hillary because I know she will get the job done. Period.

[Countess]

It is so nice of you to forgive her for helping Bush destroy Iraq and working with racist Limbaugh and your ridiculous fear mongering on Iran. She is not Bush Lite she is Bush Heavy.

[dm92]

Your first two points are HOGWASH - her vote to authorize came from wanting to look tough and where she thought she get the most poll lift.

#3 - New Yorkers want to be safe - blind hawkishness only makes us less safe - enough with the 'I'm tough' rhetoric

#5 - no liberal wins tx in the fall - won't happen

#6 - the clintons are not fiery, they are sleazy - LOTS went undone during Bill's administration because he was such a lightning rod (does anyone remember health care in the '90s). The Clinton's ambitions have not necessarily been a good thing for us liberals and some of us just want them to be gone already. NEXT?

[MarkieBee001]

She promised New York 200,000 jobs but then blamed the net LOSS of 30,000 on Gore for not winning in 2000. Where was your plan B HIllary. Besides, if Gore had been elected president and then 200,000 jobs were created that would be Gore's triumph, not yours. Once again Hillary, you can't have it both ways. Quit latching onto someone else's glory and throwing them under the bus when the going gets rough or doesn' t go your way. How about AUTHORING a bill in the senate that actually means something to Americans. That would be a first for you.

[m4rk0]

Maybe that's enough money to buy her new dentures. The yellow ones she has are difficult to look at.
