Sorry for the url, I can't figure out the code to post it in a nicer form.  That Guardian story says she's loaning her campaign another $6.4 million to keep going.

I suppose it might be to pay off Mark Penn and some of the other accumulated debts, but somehow I just can't quite believe it.

I read the Guardian story thoroughly, and exactly when Hillary wrote herself a check for $6.4 mill isn't very clear.  I'm reasonably sure it didn't happen between last night and this morning -- I think it's a confirmation that she had written that check recently.

Doesn't make much practical difference, though, I guess.  And I suspect leaking the story is a way of saying, "If my funders finally stop throwing good money after bad,  who cares?"

5 plus 6.4. That still leaves ninety-some million. I'm not feeling any sympathy yet.

Wolfson said it was split among 3 days: April 21, May 1 and May 5th:

"Senator Clinton gave the campaign a $5 million loan on April 11th, a $1 million lona on May 1st, and a $425,000 loan on May 5th," Wolfson said, adding that she'd lent the campaign the money to keep pace with Obama's spending on TV in Pennsylvania, Indiana and North Carolina.

CNN, via Carpetbagger:

Democrat Hillary Clinton has loaned her presidential race $6.4 million over the last month ....

Emphasis mine.

Tip: Here's an easy way to embed your links. Let's assume you wanted to embed this sentence:

"That Guardian story says she's loaning her campaign another $6.4 million to keep going."

Place a [  before the word ["That

After the word going" place your url=http:/.......networkfront

At the end of the url networkfront, place ]     networkfront]

You get this:

That Guardian story says she's loaning her campaign another $6.4 million to keep going.

Well, "You can't vote for war and disown the results"
