Maybe - but I’m wondering who contributed all that money in Dec, Jan and Feb? If she was given over $30 million in Feb contributions alone that means most of it was aimed at the GE. If that’s the case, that means she isn’t getting primary coontributors and it means her big money donors for the primary have topped out for the GE as well. She isn’t popular enough with the “small” donor………this is another reason I feel PA isn’t important. If she shoots her wad in PA then she has effectively minimized the chance for large scale victories in the other states due to finances…and she needs huge victories to even stand a chance. NC is the real lynchpin - if she gets buried there she should pull out.

You have to wonder how Clinton can be perceived as the ultimate capable manager and leader.
Afterall, a candidate is measured by how they run and manage their campaign as an indication of how they would govern and if they can run the country.
I think more should be made of this as it’s the main indicator and it should give many pause about the misperceptions about Hillary.
At the same time, you have Obama’s campaign that has very little debt and who has run a smooth and closely knit campaign. And managed their money very well.
Kinda makes one wonder who actually is the one who would be ready on day one.

One would think that the “Phantom Bosnian Sniper Fire Episode” might have slowed down Hillary’s fundraising in March. She still has a relatively long period of time before the Pennsylvania Primary, and running television and radio ads in Pennsylvania for three more weeks is going to be expensive. If Hillary keeps piling up more campaign debt by refusing to pay campaign vendors, and then spends most of her money on Pennsylvania ad time, her campaign could very well wind up in the Red by the end of April. If that happens, and if more and more campaign vendors start to demand their money up front, then the negative cash-flow would be far more likely to drive her from the race than any statement that the Party elders could make.
