- hel76, on 02/21/2008, -8/+393is this how Hillary Clinton manages a budget? Scary...
- Maurina, on 02/21/2008, -5/+278Bill needs to take away her credit cards.
- kschramm, on 02/21/2008, -8/+182"Hillary Clinton ended January with $7.6 million in debt – not including the $5 million personal loan she gave to her campaign in the run-up to the critical Super Tuesday elections, according to financial reports released Wednesday."
So she's really $12.6M in debt. Yikes! - jlee2081, on 02/21/2008, -3/+170It's ok Hill -- Obama's plan will make sure your health care is subsidized
- or3n, on 02/21/2008, -12/+111It's only a matter of time before she throws in the towel.
- listrophy, on 02/21/2008, -2/+100but she has a "solution" for the nation's debt problems?
- widgetmaker, on 02/21/2008, -5/+75The Democrats might actually get this race right for once..
- entrophize, on 02/21/2008, -8/+77And I thought *I* had credit problems.
- mlrigsby, on 02/21/2008, -3/+66Hopefully this comes up in the debate. Clinton keeps talking about results vs. rhetoric, but has proven to be utterly incompetent in planning and running a campaign. Meanwhile, Obama's campaign seems to run like a well-oiled machine. Clinton expects us to believe she can run the country when she is dramatically failing this first test?
- AtHomeBoy2000, on 02/21/2008, -4/+54So, she was in debt 7.6 and LOANED (not gave) her campaign 5 million... that makes her 15 million raised in the first 15 days in February even more interesting. Basically, she netted $2.4 million the first half of February.
- gypsi, on 02/21/2008, -2/+48but she needs pant suits!
- skinkaid, on 02/21/2008, -3/+41She can't afford a towel
- NSResponder, on 02/21/2008, -8/+45Ding dong, the witch is broke.
-jcr - CountryTime, on 02/21/2008, -4/+35just imagine what would happen if she had unlimited funds at her disposal as president.
- JPamplin, on 02/21/2008, -1/+32I'm a moderate by trade. Socially progressive and fiscally conservative, as I think most Americans wished their government was. I just have this to say:
All those years in the White House, with all the scandals, bad treatment of White House staff, waffling on issues while in the Senate, leading the pack in earmarks, and the general demeanor of this woman screams the same message -
SHE'S GETTING WHAT SHE DESERVES. - robbob, on 02/21/2008, -3/+32Her ego won't allow it
- wtfpwned98, on 02/21/2008, -4/+32She has spent $33 million dollars on political consultants. The problem is that democrats just aren't crazy about her, or the image of her being created by consultants. Just imagine how much money she'll need to win a general election!!
http://www.digg.com/political_opinion/The_Politico ... - bthug7, on 02/21/2008, -3/+29Watch the debate tonight everyone. I hope Barack goes for the throat instead of going easy on her to protect his image like last time.
- Nougat, on 02/21/2008, -4/+29And there's only one person who needs to be aware of this, and she's apparently not.
- otatop, on 02/21/2008, -0/+25No, it's Calf + Ankles = Cankles.
You idiot. - Enfenestrate, on 02/21/2008, -1/+25Same way the federal government manages a budget. She's using the campaign as a warm-up for the real thing.
- greenlight2001, on 02/21/2008, -0/+23She didn't borrow money FROM her campaign, she loaned money TO her campaign.
- inactive, on 02/21/2008, -1/+24funny, she's been hoarding money any way she can all these years from whatever shady graft and conniving lie-cheat-steal she could find, ***** over anybody it takes, and now she's pissed it all away on this wild crushing failure. FUNNY!! guess she better hurry and find some more bribes. she's like a cornered badger at this point, really want her to throw in the towel but there's no way she isn't going to try every last sneaky desperate trick she can think of right up until her final rancid gasp. I do hope that final puke makes it to youtube.
- megapeg, on 02/21/2008, -7/+30That's because she sucks.
- robbob, on 02/21/2008, -7/+29...Too bad she isn't Kerry's wife.
--"Da Bitch ownes Ketchup!" - DangerCollie, on 02/21/2008, -1/+22Her Texas campaign is in disarray, she's short on cash, momentum has shifted to Obama. The best thing she could do for the party is bow out gracefully. But her staff are some of the most arrogant people on the Beltway, so there's no way she'll quit.
- GhostyBoy, on 02/21/2008, -0/+21Except for Hillary can still screw it up. She is going down like a sore loser and spewing all kinds venom into the democratic party. A divided party is much easier to defeat. She's carrying on like a brat and actually hurting her party's chances.
Then again, I don't really think she cares if the democrats win, only if she does. - sparql, on 02/21/2008, -4/+24She'd probably blow it all on shoes and legwarmers to hide her cankles.
- EtherGnat, on 02/21/2008, -1/+21I was going to digg you up, but your signature with all your comments is annoying. Please stop doing that.
- stellarceltic, on 02/21/2008, -1/+18Quit while my ahead..... what? Go on please.
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -0/+16Honestly, she should just concede and drop out today. She's already millions in the red, and Obama is out-raising her three-fold in small online contributions. He's won twenty-five out of the thirty-six state contests so far, while she's only won eleven. He won over sixty-five percent of the popular vote from Democrats abroad, while she scraped thirty-five. Most Democrats have already decided on their candidate, and they're excited about him.
If she stays in this race through March and all the way to the convention, the only thing it will serve to do is divert campaign time and resources away from the general election. - rficwizard, on 02/21/2008, -0/+15Then why did Bill need Monica?
- rnwen2750, on 02/21/2008, -0/+15Sod off, sir.
- piratehead, on 02/22/2008, -0/+14Good argument - "Obama would be in debt too, if he didn't have income."
- EtherGnat, on 02/21/2008, -0/+13Remember where that attitude got us in 2004.
- Smuikas, on 02/21/2008, -3/+16It's not just that she's running out of money. Her campaign's financial situation mirrors many american's financial situations.
If our government is in debt, and our people are in debt, do we really want a leader whose own campaign she can't keep out of debt?
It shows a great deal about her fiscal responsibility. - stellarceltic, on 02/21/2008, -2/+15Actually not, uneducated one.
- bhartzer, on 02/21/2008, -0/+12Put a fork in her, she's done. Take her off the grill.
- TheJokerV, on 02/22/2008, -0/+12Man, you have got to get that sand out of your vagina.
- digjam, on 02/21/2008, -0/+11I hope she looses by super delegates not supporting her...
- nirav72, on 02/21/2008, -1/+11Ahhh..can't wait till her whole campaign implodes.
- mwolfzorn, on 02/21/2008, -1/+11Hopefully in 4 years the public approves of the direction you are taking the country and you don't need to have a huge spending war to get re-elected.
- kreneskyp, on 02/22/2008, -0/+10kobe had to buy his wife a multimillion dollar necklace. bill has to buy hillary a presidency.
- mntalkase, on 02/21/2008, -0/+9This is getting dugg down because the logic is faulty... it completely ignores the power of incumbency. Yes, someone may need to spend $40 million of their own money to get elected. But once they are elected, it becomes a whole lot easier to raise money for a re-election campaign. People are much more willing to drop thousands of dollars on a re-election campaign of a sitting president than a campaign of a presidential hopeful that has to go through all the primaries and such.
- borez, on 02/21/2008, -6/+15Quit while your ahead.
No..wait - sparql, on 02/21/2008, -0/+9Usually spelled "cankles": A derogatory slang term for fat ankles, where its hard to tell where the ankle starts and the calf ends.

Take your own advice. - EtherGnat, on 02/21/2008, -0/+9Doubtful. The average donation from Hillary supporters is WAY higher than Obama's. In fact a large portion of Hillary's supporters have already given the maximum contribution of $2,300--one of her fund raising problems.
- ricepicker4000, on 02/21/2008, -1/+10I'm not a huge Ron Paul fan, i know lol, booo! But he is the only person who addresses the national debt and takes it seriously
- mntalkase, on 02/21/2008, -0/+9Also, remember that in Presidential campaign politics... it's never really about "getting your money back". It's about winning the Presidency of the United States. Mike Bloomberg is about to drop a quarter of a billion dollars for a shot at it. The presidency is such an institution... there's no price that can be assessed to it. You want to become President, just because. Not because it can make you money.
- TheG2, on 02/21/2008, -0/+9Has anyone else noticed how much YOU'VE spammed this thread? I sure have...now who has the agenda?
