Obama Winning Fundraising Race. Hillary’s Donors Worry.

Filed Under Barack Obama, Democratic Party, Election 2008, Hillary Clinton, politics

The New York Times’ Patrick Healy and Jeff Zeleny report that Hillary Clinton’s donors are worried in light of news about Barack Obama’s ability to pull in huge amounts of money and a loan Hillary Clinton made to her campaign.

Mr. Obama’s fund-raising dominance, especially his announcement on Jan. 31 that he had raised $32 million, has sent jitters through Mrs. Clinton’s donor base. Some of her biggest donors grew even more concerned on Wednesday when her advisers said that she had lent the campaign $5 million of her own money and that some senior aides were working this month without salaries.

Several donors and senior aides said they were not aware of the loan until Wednesday. …

Mr. Obama, speaking to reporters, zeroed in on Mrs. Clinton’s loan and said that her decision not to disclose her income tax returns raised questions about the loan.
