Hsu Do You Think You Are Kidding Mrs Clinton?

Hillary Clinton is leading Barack Obama in the polls for the Democratic nomination. Now, for the first time, she raised more campaign cash.
Her campaign announced this morning that it raised $27 million during the third quarter and drew 100,000 new donors -- its best quarter yet.
"This is the moment when you showed that America is ready for change and that you are ready to make history. This is the moment when your dedication defied the skeptics," Patti Solis Doyle, Clinton's campaign manager, said in a statement headlined "Our Fundraising is Through the Roof" and posted on the campaign website.
Obama's campaign reported Monday that it had raised more than $20 million and attracted 93,000 new donors.
Of the $27 million Clinton's campaign said it raised during July, August, and September, $22 million is for the primary season and the other $5 million would be for the general election if she wins the nomination.
In money just for the primaries, Clinton still trails Obama with about $62 million total, compared to about $75 million for Obama. But she has raised nearly $18 million for the general election campaign, compared to about $4 million for Obama. Clinton also has $10 million she transferred from her US Senate account.

Sky’s the limit when you break all the rules.
1. Mitt Romney - $10 million
2. Fred Thompson - $8 million (+$3 million, raised earlier)
3. John McCain - $5 million
Rudolph Giuliani - not yet announced
will the MSM holler as loud when she has to give half of it back as they are in announcing her gathering it in?
I wouldn’t expect anything less from Satan.
Wow! Those poor people of the left sure found alot of money
for her highness.
“Clinton reports raising $27 million, BEATING Obama”
Hate crime!!!
The figures you give are media speculation. None of the candidates you list have announced their totals.
she won’t give any back.
Hillary’s really tickling their nipples...
The peoples army from Communist China funneling money for the down payment on Taiwan?
I wonder if she just suddenly found the money on a table(like those tax records of political opponents she was never supposed to have).
That’s pretty pathetic, really, given that she has over a billion Chinese donors to choose from....
...taking millions from MoveOn.Org to combat the “big money” special interests in politics.
It would be a shame if these millionaires had to spend their own money for their campaigns.
Please give now. :D
“......sources also indicate that when the total contributions from illegal Chinese entities are subtracted, the campaign is left with an available balance of $4.28.”
Okay, but just because the article didn’t really say that doesn’t mean it’s not true.
Notice there are NO negative comments by the media on all this dirty, sleazy, special interest money being raised by democrats, at a 2-1 rate over the GOP? Only when the GOP leads in fundraisng does the media treat it as a negative thing. Now they report it with glee and excitement.
Our guys are getting totally left behind. This is pretty troubling.
See why this nation is falling to a banana republic level. See why these Muslims who killed all of the monks are going to take over this world because we, the hard working, honest people rule out being as ruthless as they are, let politcal correctness rule. When The Hildabeast & her crew get done 9 yrs from now we may not have a republic. All because we sat on our a$$es, convinced ourselves that there was nothing we could do & let them ruin this great nation.
Can't quite put my finger on it, but somehow this brings to mind the way that corrupt, big-city Democrat political machines have been known to hold out on reporting their ballot counts until they know for sure how many votes they need to manufacture to ensure a win...
