Some of the impressions on this thread need to be dispelled.

Clinton campaign opens its inner sanctum

Quote:
A hoarse-voiced Terry McAullife started things off by announcing that the campaign had raised 7.5M online since the beginning of the month and 6.4 million in the last 30 hours. "That has surprised me, and I'm the ultimate optimist," he said.

And, then "Hillary stepped up to the plate," he said, referring to her self-loan of $5M last month.

"By the way, all of our staff are going one hundred percent paid," he said, in reference to news reports that the senior staff had volunteered to work for free.


So she's raised $7.5 this month and $13 or so last month for a total of about $20 million. I'm not sure where McAullife gets the $5 million figure. Other media reports have it at $10 million. So which is correct? Are they now trying to downplay the amount donated? Was the donation a hoax?

Anyone know if Obama's hit $40 million yet?

I'd say $50 million by the end of February.
