HRC's $35M Haul In Feb
Terry McAuliffe, Hillary Clinton's national chairman, just announced on a phone call with the campaign's finance team (and reporters) that HRC's crew raised $35M in February, more than double its January take. He said 200K new donors gave this month and that their average contribution was about $100.
Overall, McAuliffe said, the campaign has raised in excess of $167M total, $145M of that has been primary money. HRC's loan to the campaign on Feb. 6, he argued, prompted the flood of cash.
"Our Interent exploded, and it has never stopped," he said.
More McAuliffe: "We have the resources to play in the big states coming up TX, OH, RI, VT and states beyond," he said.
He added: "It’s exciting, and we are in this thing for the long haul."

So the question at this point is what creative way can she waste this money? She blew through $140 million and left herself broke after Super Tuesday. Her supporters, always pitying the poor victim of her own mismanagement, plied on with their own money. And for what? So she could get blown out in 11 primaries in a row and put the race virtually out of reach.
I could see spending tons of money after Iowa to support her, or after New Hampshire in encouragement - or even after Nevada. But after Super Tuesday she showed what a joke of a campaign she's run.
