Wow, Clinton will not release her March Fundraising numbers until LEGAL deadline, 4/20!

[KansasVoter]

She will not release the numbers until 2 days before the PA elections!!

Something tells me the Hillary Political Machine did not raise much money in March.

If the numbers were good she would release them to show she is still a viable candidate!!

Why, with all of her supporters, are they not willing to make small donations to her?

Obama supporters are donating under a $100 each. Hillary, if she really had support, could also.

Very telling to me.

1. they don't want to frighten their vendors... then they'll be eating cheese whiz and crackers

[NDambi]

9. Ha Ha..funny

[KansasVoter]

42. LOL (eom)

[hedgehog]

2. They got the fundraising numbers mixed up with her tax returns and

it's going to take that long to get everything sorted out!

[rocktivity]

3. And she's not releasing her tax records until three days before the PA primary

Which just happens to fall on the "news dump" weekend before...Cue ominous chord...

:scared:
rocknation

[dkf]

4. They said under $20 million, but maybe a bunch of that is

GE funds too.

The next disclosure might show she is even more in the red than in February.

She's beginning to look like she is not viable.

Which makes me wonder...how does she think she can fund a primary campaign in Florida and Michigan? I think maybe she is full of it.

[virtualobserver]

7. and maybe $11 million is "just under" $20 million

[NightWatcher]

5. just like with her taxes, the 'transparency' continues

:sarcasm:

per HuffPo, they've got some money

The Clinton Tax Returns: What Will They Reveal?
An ABC News Review Has Found the Clintons Have Made More Than $50 Million Since Leaving the White House

Hillary Clinton has been pulling out all the stops to win the Democratic nomination for president -- but one: she still has not released her family's tax returns.

The campaign says they will release the documents sometime before April 15. Without them, many questions remain about how the Clintons made tens of millions of dollars -- and whether they used arcane tax loopholes available to the super-rich, an expert says. A Clinton campaign spokesman says the couple has paid all U.S. taxes at ordinary income tax rates

[meow mix]

6. hoping everyone will be too high to read?

:shrug:

[VolcanoJen]

18. ROFL!!!!

:smoke: :smoke: :smoke:

[Independent-Voter]

8. What a fucking clown. Her campaign has been a trainwreck from day one.

[NDambi]

13. Yep. They blew all that money on donuts, helicopters and hotel rooms

[Debi]

31. You forgot Mark Penn, Howard Wolfson and Mandy Grunwald

:crazy: and Poland.

[BigD_95]

10. u have to be joking

I think she is hoping that a big win in PA will bring in money but if Obama gets it close its probably over.

If Obama goes on and wins Indiana & NC after a close PA race there wont be any money left or reason to keep going on.

I just wish PA voters would come to their senses and put a end to this and vote for Obama. For the good of the party lets end this thing!

[KittyWampus]

11. look for the numbers to be fudged when they DO come out. She'll mix GE & Primary donations

into one figure. This gives her the headlines and the truth won't come out until after the election in PA.

[dkf]

21. If the GE plus Primary number looked good they would have released it.

Makes me think that even her maxed out Primary donors aren't contributing for the GE.

And the GE funds are refundable if she doesn't make it anyway...

Collapse of confidence perhaps?

Maybe her big donors have given up.

[Debi]

32. You mean like February's # lies? She said she had $33 million COH

when really she only had $11 million (w/$8.7 million in debts + the $5 million loan owed to her)?

Yeah, she'll lie - it's a Clinton family trait.

[Tatiana]

12. We already know which campaign is more responsive to releasing of information.

Of course, it helps when the information is positive. But, every step of the way, the Obama campaign has been out front whether in the release of tax returns or fundraising numbers.

I am looking forward to a more open government and the end of the mentality of secrecy that currently permeates our government.

[Erin Elizabeth]

14. Yeah I have no doubt if her numbers were good

her campaign would be yelling about it from the rooftops. This tells me the numbers aren't good at all. I guess people are figuring it out. She's dead in the water.

[Adelante]

15. They are afraid their contributors will bolt

I think this is a bad move. Hiding the performance may end up making it look worse than it even is, and it's already looking pretty bad.

[bunnies]

24. My thoughts exactly.

Must be less than 20 mil if they're allowing that number to float around, but they dont want to confirm it as it will increase calls for her to get out.

Though... its not as if we dont all know the reason they're hiding the numbers. Whats the logic in keeping quiet on a big number? None that I know.

[riskpeace]

16. Did you say 420?

:evilgrin:

[Boz]

17. I wonder if someone asked if she had to loan her campaign money if she would tell the truth?

I mean they are saying they are not realeasing the info, but would she answer a diect question?

[Debi]

35. She kept it under wraps until the media called her on it before

remember, she loaned the $5 million to 'inspire' supporters to waste $33 million more :crazy:

[MadBadger]

19. She's going to Dump the Tax Returns on Friday, so nobody talks about it over the weekend.

[goclark]

20. If this is what she does during the campaign

Help us all if she is elected.

:scared:

[JimGinPA]

22. I'm Donating To Mrs. Clinton Now...

I'm sending an empty suitcase with a bus ticket to NY.

[mythyc]

23. 4/20 hmmm? don't bogart that joint return, my friend

someone had to say it

:smoke:

[snooper2]

25. All of her coporate sponsers..

are tapped out :rofl:

[Bullet1987]

26. I wouldn't be surprised if they raised less than $20 million...

Which is horrible news coming off her two BIG "wins" in Texas and Ohio (I used parenthesis because back then she was still considered the winner in TX...not so much anymore).

[oviedodem]

27. By releasing that late it will have little effect on pennsylvania. As a matter of fact

this is why she is releasing the taxes as close as well. All it does is lessen the time btw the primary and the scrutiny.

[karynnj]

28. Not sure - if they are awful -

Wouldn't 2 days before PA be worse?

[Bullet1987]

29. That's what I'm thinking...

It could be bad if a lot of voters make up their minds in the last 3 days and then they here about her aweful fundraising numbers.

[wileedog]

36. The problem is if they announce today

and the numbers are awful, people start writing her off now, and the donations from now until 4/20 dry up.

She obviously still needs a lot of money if she is going to have any chance to hit the numbers she needs in PA.

[karynnj]

37. Good points - I think you're right

There is already so much pushing her into that final downward spiral - that it could do it.

[Debi]

30. I'll be keeping an eye on her debt load - has she paid Iowa's bills yet

or did she just add some PA/IN/NC bills to the mix :crazy:

[crankychatter]

33. Nobody wants to invest in Failure - The Enron of Presidential Campaigns?

we'll soon know

[anigbrowl]

34. Because they're cowards, that's why

Just like they conveniently let the news of her $5 million campaign loan come out after Super Tuesday, because they knew voters would have recoiled if they had known how badly she managed her finances. Now she's trying to pull the same trick on Pennsylvanians and hope they'll be too caught up in campaign fever close to election day to pay attention.

Truly pathetic.

[NoodleyAppendage]

38. Just wait until the news hits of her OFFSHORE TAX HAVEN ACCOUNTS. n/t

[KansasVoter]

43. I hope!

[SoonerPride]

39. 4/20? What, is she high?

Word

[TTUBatfan2008]

40. And what about Obama?

I'm sure it won't be $55 million, but I'm hoping for at least $35ish million, perhaps even $40 million or so. This month will likely be bigger for both of them since the PA primary is towards the end of the month.

[anigbrowl]

41. $40 million, announced this morning

44. Maybe a ploy to ask for more money!!!
