For Sale: Another American Dream
WASHINGTON (AP) — A campaign aide says Hillary Rodham Clinton lent herself $6.4 million in the past month.
Politically wounded and financially strapped, Clinton plunged back into the presidential campaign Wednesday even as Barack Obama declared that Tuesday's primary results left him with a "clear path to victory."
Obama beat Clinton soundly in North Carolina and fell just short in an Indiana cliffhanger, a rebound for the Illinois senator that presented Clinton with fast-dwindling chances to deny him the Democratic presidential nomination.
The loan more than doubles Clinton's personal investment in her bid for the Democratic nomination. She gave her campaign $5 million earlier this year.
Clinton has been struggling financially behind the record fundraising of her Democratic rival, Barack Obama.
Obama has routinely outspent her in primary after primary. Clinton's campaign reported raising $10 million online after her victory April 22 in Pennsylvania. But Obama has shown little difficulty tapping his vast network of donors. He spent more than $7 million on advertising head of Tuesday's primaries in North Carolina and Indiana to her nearly $4 million. . . .

It seems if you have enough money, you can buy the Presidency. Doesn't seem right, does it.
...shhh...keep silent...no, don't write that!...silence...Well, I thin...NO! don't write that!...be smart...be quiet...keep it to yourself...shhh...move on to the next blog........check back later....that would be better...good...now use the mouse and go visit someone else for
awhile...
two things come to mind - neither original -
1. it ain't over 'till it's over - in the final analysis, the people of this great country will cast the votes (popular, electoral, and/or super delegate) and the decision will be made on who will run and who will then win the presidency. It is ashame that money is so important - that is one of the characteristics of our times -
However, thank God - that neither Harry Reasoner nor any of the would be political pundits choose the candidate.... and so we get to 2 - that is why they play the game!!!
cheers, john
