Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton raised a stunning $3.5 million last night within hours of winning Pennsylvania, and her campaign says today's total may reach $10 million, giving her run a needed boost as she tries to knock Sen. Barack Obama from his front-runner perch.
The two campaigns are up with their spin this morning, with each focusing on the next races and arguing they can win in November.
Mr. Obama won a new endorsement from Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry and may roll out a group of superdelegates who support him today.
But Team Clinton fueled with new money after significantly trailing Mr. Obama in cash raised so far this year insists "the tide is turning." Campaign aides said her 9.7 point Pennsylvania victory is "fresh evidence" she's the better candidate to beat Republican Sen. John McCain in the fall.
"Despite making an unprecedented financial investment in his Pennsylvania campaign, including millions on negative ads in the closing days of the race, Sen. Obama again failed to win a state that will be vital to a Democratic victory in November and spurred new questions about his ability to beat John McCain," the Clinton campaign outlined in a memo today. "No candidate has ever had more resources or enjoyed the kind of momentum that Sen. Obama had in Pennsylvania."

There must be a saying having to do with playing with fire and getting burned. Money may insulate like asbestos so, it really doesn't matter to some who gets elected, "somebody's getting burned, but it ain't gonna be me".
Two flaming, surrender monkey, Marxists running against an aged Amnesty Internationale, media whore has rekindled my interest in survivalism. I've never started a fire by rubbing two sticks together. Perhaps I'll give it a try.
No way will she pull in 10 million. They are lying & trying to create momentum
Hillarious! Is that Carol Burnett on the left?
That Little Webbette
I think only in a Doomsday scenario. If Obama wins Indiana she's gone. If she wins Indiana she stays in - IF her money holds, and goes to the convention behind.
It's 50/50 then whether she'll go postal at the convention. I hope she does.
She still loses, but I hope she does damage all through Denver. More likely she drops out before.
Hearing a final 'good-bye' to the Clintons would be nectar on the ear-hole.
“Formally nicotine stained.”
Wonder what Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter (CHAOS supporters)will wear to the inaugaration?

RED CHINESE CONFIDENCE BOLSTERED AFTER CLINTON WIN IN PA
Um. No.
Hillary does poorly with white men, and married women. And if she steals the nomination from Obama, she’ll have a tough time getting strong support from black voters.
Something she will desperately need to win in places like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Missouri and Wisconsin.
You are missing the point, I have no doubt the money is real but it didn't come from legitimate donors.
I'll bet she had Chinese or Dubai money set up to inject into her campaign through Norman Hsu type shell donors ahead of time.
She knew she would win in PA and is using it as a smokescreen to launder in more money to her campaign.
It' getting near the end of this campaign, you don't think she had tapped up every possible legitimate donor by now?
There is massive corruption going on here, it should be investigated.
What did I say to make you think that? I contend Obama is easier to defeat. If Hillary gets in all bets are off.
Frankly I'm not happy with any of the three people up for president. But out of the three I have to go with McCain.
Something in black would be in order.
LOL It’s not really funny, though. I try to laugh, but I can’t. Ever since Texas and the KAOS crap started, I can’t sleep well. I’m worried now we may be in for eight more years-and The Clintons and their entire machine are laughing their asses off right now at the realization the people who (allegedly)hate them the most may be handing them back the keys to the White House.
This what I don't understand. Clinton and Obama were going to butt heads no matter what because Bill And The witch want the power back so bad they can taste it. Switching registration to vote for Hillary made no sense in light of that fact.
All operation chaos will accomplish is to increase, However slightly, the chance that we have The Clintons for four more years. I wonder if Rush is ready for that hangover. I'm not.
My thoughts exactly!
