"A Chain Reaction"
Hillary Clinton said she was excited and gratified that her campaign raised $35M in February, its highest monthly total to date, and had attracted some 200,000 new donors, many of them small donors.
"I think it says a lot," she said. "People demonstrate their support for a candidate in a number of ways. Obviously, they come out to events, they make phone calls, they hold signs, they are actively involved in supporting us, but contributions are another way of judging and when people found out that we didn't have the resources to compete, and I did put my own money in, it just set off a chain reaction across the country of hundreds of thousands of people saying 'Wait a minute, we want this campaign to go on.'"
Clinton said her campaign had not paid back the $5 million she had loaned it.

Really? This LA Times story says the loan was already paid back.

Maybe she's going to pay herself back twice. She IS a Clinton after all.
