Is there Financial Trouble in HillaryLand ? There is an issue that I have not heard covered covered in the Media, it is being covered in Blogatopia with great scrutiny.

The other day I watched Andrea Mitchell question Terry McCaulliffe about Hillary's Fundraising and Money on hand for the next states. During this exchange it came out that there might indeed be problems. BIG Problems that might indeed be part of the "Panic" that was being felt over at her Campaign Compound.

Andrea asked HOW MUCH did her Campaign have before Iowa ? He said over 100 Million. She asked How Much was left when they came to New Hampshire, he said, "28 MILLION" ( Sadly it turns out that his math is rather fuzzy).Tim Edsell has the MATH over at Huffington Post, and It is NOT even 28 Million. It is somewhere between 10-15 Million , with "about" 10 Million left for the next Surge of her campaign.

Here's the thing, the one thing we have learned, it is VERY important to have a President that can and does Manage Money, and understands it, Bush taught us this like no other president. But as someone that lives on a tight budget, I look at this very concerned. HOW did the Hillary Campaign Blow through over 75 Million in Iowa. Iowa???? Her supporters and all Voters really need to think about that , it is too bad the MSM does not think it is worth investigating or covering. Maybe there was more to the Crying Game then we know.

well Clif...you have pointed out some big worries....and Hill will try to fearmonger the Rich with this ? who knows...

I wrote today about her campaign coffers' problem....10 Milion to go forward...that would be enough to make anyone to cry..."

Enigma, wont more money be flowing into Hillary's coffers now that she won New Hampshire?

I think the thing Hillary NEEDS to worry about is Michael Bloomberg...............Bloomberg entering the race would hurt Hillary MORE than any other candidate and that could affect the thinking of the Super Delegates, as I dont think Bloomberg would enter if it was an Obama vs McCaine matchup.

wow Mike...you raised about three different issues that all are on my mind....

But I don't know if the money is flowing in...time will tell...

but 10 Million for some really BIG states...how is she going to do that...

( I got THREE emails from her asking for money...I have NO idea WHY I am on her list...I wrote her three times to take me off..I am on Edwards and Obama lists....and I do follow them...but I thought that was amazing that she and Bill sent me MORE emails WANTING MORE MONEY BECAUSE THEY WON...IT FELT REALLY STRANGE..."Hey, we won so now give us money"....yuck...)

Maybe Bill beeds to hit his corporate cronies up for more money instead of stirring up racial strife.

I think it might be too late for that...
( you read what happened when he came to Ohio for dinner and fundraising...- you saw that post right?)

BTW I am watching Eli Stone Tonight....and this week they are doing Immigration issues.....holy cow)
