"Clinton aides said late Sunday she would report raising about $20 million in March and that she had more than $8 million for the primary available at the beginning of April." (AP Story)
Now looking at the filled report for March 08 we see:
- From Funds Contributed by State:
District of Columbia $6,996,575.65 (or about 35% of TOTAL March contributions.)

and
- From Funds Contributed by Date:
MARCH 31, 2008 $8,525,621.13

So H. Clinton's campaign says she had ~$8 mil available for the Primary at the start of April. It appears that ALL of that was given on MARCH 31. And where from? It seems we should look to Washington D.C. And please remind me: who lives in Washington D.C. and hands out lots of money? That's right: THE LOBBYISTS.
This needs to be checked further.
