Clinton Cash Crunch

The Clinton campaign is running low on funds as Obama continues to outspend Hillary. And now Hillary Clinton has acknowledged that she has loaned the campaign $5 million out of her own pocket in addition the $13.5 million that was raised in the month of January. Compare that to the $32 million that Obama has raised in the same month. They're also on pace to raise $30 for February.

This is why Clinton would like to have a weekly debate for the next four weeks: free advertising.

I love this though:

The Clinton camp was eager to take the luster off of Obama's status as a "movement candidate" who has generated unprecedented activism and fundraising through the Internet. Clinton strategists went out of their way to label him an "establishment candidate" and worked to pitch her message to online activists.
So what is it? Is he inexperienced or is the "establishment" candidate? You can't have it both ways, Hillary. And have you noticed how she's mentioning her website multiple times in every speech now? I think Mark Penn's figured out there's money to be made by the little donors on the internet. Too little, too late.
