Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y) communications director Howard Wolfson said Monday that the former first lady’s presidential campaign is raising “a considerable amount of money” and that its “cash flow is good.”
Wolfson reacted to reports stating that the campaign was experiencing a cash crunch during the home stretch of the primary season.
“Our cash flow is good. Bills are being paid. We are continuing to raise a considerable amount of money. We had the best fundraising month in the campaign's history last month,” said Wolfson on MSNBC. “We are continuing to do well this month. The support that we’re receiving over the Internet especially is very, very strong.”
However, he noted that the Democratic front-runner, Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.), would again raise more money than Clinton in March and acknowledged that the former first lady is not yet on the air in Indiana and North Carolina, instead focusing on winning Pennsylvania.

From Hillary's site, the distortions:
Fact Check: Sen. Obama Accepts Over $1 Million From Subprime Lending Industry Considering that Sen. Obama has received $1.18 million from subprime lenders and has taken more campaign contributions from the top ten issuers of subprime loans, that attack rings hollow as just words. Sen. Obama has a record of talking about standing up to special interests and then caving to their demands. Hillary has a 35-year record of standing up to special interests and delivering results.
Clinton campaign head made $200,000 with subprime lenderHillary has done this sort of projecting before. Shetried to use Exelon to
disingenuously attack Obama's nuclear plant bill (which she even falsely claims to have helped him introduce; she didn't sign on as a co-sponsor until
12 days later):
Washington, DC – Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) applauded the approval today by a key Senate committee of legislation to require nuclear plant operators to quickly notify the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the state and county in which the plant is located, of any leak of radioactive substances, such as the releases from the spent fuel pools at Indian Point that occurred last August.
Senator Clinton joined Senator Obama in bringing the legislation to the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, where it was unanimously approved today.“Local officials need to know when radioactive materials are leaked from any of New York's nuclear power plants, including Indian Point,” said Senator Clinton. “
This important legislation will ensure prompt notification of any future leaks, and I will be working hard to move it through the full Senate.”

Hillary's latest
distortion. Shouldn't Hillary know this:

THE FACTS: True enough,
Obama does not take money from oil companies. No candidate does. It is illegal for corporations to give money to politicians. Corporations, however, do have political action committees that collect voluntary donations from employees and then donate them to candidates.
Obama doesn't take money from PACs. He also doesn't take money from lobbyists.more ObamaHillaryWhere are Hillary's 2000 to 2006 tax returns?
