    Makes you wonder why they didn't push their supporters harder in the past.

    •  Perhaps because they had a lot of donations (0+ / 0-)

      and wanted to use that first.  Based on the 2004 primary, you have to admit that incredible amounts of money are being spent this time around.  I'm frankly stunned, and hoping that Dems have enough money left over for the GE.

        has gone into for her after the primary fight.  Both Obama and she have war chest money for that.  

        According to capitol eye as of 01/31
        Obama had raised
        General election:  5,200,248
        Primary: 96,970,420
        Money Left for Primaries: $13,426,000

        Hillary Clinton
        General Election:  $20,055,591

        Primary:  $95,596,770

        Money left for Primaries:  $17,892,283

        These amounts were from information electrically taken from FEC statements 01/31/07.

        I don't think you can take money raised for the general election and put it into the pool for primaries. I could be wrong though...maybe someone else will come along who knows.  

        All I know is if money is all it takes to win a nomination, Mitt Romney wouldn't be bowing out right now.

    •  Yes, good for them. $1 million more and... (0+ / 0-)

      They will be able to pay back Hillary and start accumulating funds they can use moving forward.
