If campaign contributions in PA are an indicator, data shows
According to an article up at Huffinton Post,

"Sen. Barack Obama's political opponents charge that his recent remarks on the economic woes and bitterness of low-income voters put him gravely out of touch with small town Pennsylvanians.

But a review of campaign finance records -- conducted for The Huffington Post by the Spotfire Division of software firm TIBCO -- reveals that it is Obama, not Sen. Hillary Clinton, who has received the majority of donations from these very same Keystone State communities.

Indeed, through the end of February 2008, Obama received nearly $250,000 in contributions from Pennsylvanians residing in zip codes with populations under 30,000 people. That total, which does not include Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and both city's suburbs, was roughly $30,000 more than the amount raised by Clinton: $220,000."

2. Lets see if there is another loan
Or if she waited till April to make it. There is no way she is funding her campaign in 3 states with the cash on hand and what she raised.

3. We haven't heard anything about her finances lately
not since she had the lunch with Murdoch and Scaifle (don't know if I spelled that right) Could that be coincidental? or could she have received some unexpected campaign contributions?

4. I'm 99% sure
She loaned herself between 5-10 million in April. With the ads she's running here, IN, and NC and the FEC report...there is no other way unless she got another 15 million dollars the first week in April
