Clinton campaign needs a loan

From Hillary Clinton.

Some have criticized Mitt Romney for pumping his own money into his campaign--let's see if there's consistency on this point.

By the way, look for the Clintons to start playing rough (again) with Senator Obama, given how close the Democratic race remains after last night. As Maureen Dowd noted today:
"Tuesday’s voting showed only that the voters, like moviegoers, don’t want a pat ending. Even though Hillary reasserted her strength, corraling New York, California and Kennedy country Massachusetts, she and Obama will battle on in chiaroscuro. Her argument to the Democratic base has gone from a subtext of “You owe me,” or more precisely, “Bill owes me and you owe him,” to a subtext of “Obambi will fold at the first punch from the right.” Hillary’s strategist Mark Penn argued last week that because the voters have “very limited information” about Obama, the Republican attack machine would tear him down and he would lose the support of independents. Then Penn tried to point the way to negative information on Obama, just to show that Obama wouldn’t be able to survive Republicans pointing the way to negative information."

It'll only get rougher.
