Clinton was in debt at the end of February and at the end of March. We heard a lot about all the money Clinton was raising in April, although most of that probably just paid Mark Penn's bill, which totaled over $4.5 million.
That makes this nugget from Ben Smith a lot more interesting:
I asked Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe just now whether Clinton had given or loaned her campaign more money in the run-up to North Carolina and Indiana.Anyone who has watched Terry McAuliffe doing his over-the-top, rah-rah spin routine knows that he is never the bearer of bad news. If he had good news, he'd be ramming it down our throats. (McAuliffe is definitely on the list of Clintonistas who we hopefully won't have to see on t.v. too much longer.) So, we're waiting for those fundraising details tomorrow.
"Might be. Might not be," McAuliffe said, adding that the campaign would release more fundraising details tomorrow.
In the past, Clinton aides have denied a second Clinton loan, but McAuliffe said tonight his policy is not to talk about fundraising details.
The big loss tonight won't help with her fundraising.
