Clinton loaned her campaign $5 million


Senator Hillary Clinton confirmed at a press conference in Virginia this
afternoon that she'd loaned her campaign $5 million, and said, "The results
last night proved the wisdom of my investment.."

Spokesman Howard Wolfson emailed with the news minutes earlier:

Late last month Senator Clinton loaned her campaign $5 million.The loan
illustrates Sen. Clinton's commitment to this effort and to ensuring that
our campaign has the resources it needs to compete and win across this
nation. We have had one of our best fundraising efforts ever on the web
stoday and our Super Tuesday victories will only help in bringing more
support for her candidacy.

As I reported earlier, she's drawing on a pool of personal wealth estimated
to be as much as $41 million, as well as a reported payout to Bill Clinton
of $20 million from the Los Angeles billionaire manager Ron Burkle.

Clinton told reporters that her fundraising was healthy, but that "my
opponent was able to raise more money, and we intended to be competitive,
and we were."

Clinton also emailed supporters today with an ambitious online fundraising
goal: to, over the course of three days, "raise $3 million to fund our
history-making campaign."
