On April 1st, the Clinton campaign was at least $6 million in the red! Read below for the full story.

The campaigns filed to the FEC last night, and the FEC has put out the raw data here:

In this diary, I'll try to answer conclusively questions like:

How much money did Clinton receive for the primary race in March?
How big were her expenses?
How much cash on hand does she have?
How big are her remaining debts?
Is the Clinton campaign bankrupt?

I'll explain how to interpret the available data, by presenting some easy to understand hypothetical examples. I'm no accounting expert, but with use of common sense, we should be able to erase any misundstandings and doubts. If there's something in my analysis that is incorrect, please speak up asap. I'll update the diary throughout the day as more observations and conclusions become available.

A superdelegate a day keeps the boogieman away.

I apologize in advance, I know this has already been diaried, sorta. But, this video is hilarious, and I think it has the potential to really make the rounds, with everybody eager to put it up on all sorts of intertube real estate. We just need to push it a little!

There are many different ways to follow or be involved in this primary season. The Daily Kos site is read by a lot of activists who do a great deal of work on behalf of our candidate of choice. Part of this work is trying to bring attention to news and facts that help our candidate. And, subsequently, deriding the media for NOT paying attention to these issues, while they instead prefer to treat the whole primary as a horse race.

Nevertheless, we all look for signs about where this horse race is going. A good poll or news item in the morning is cherished and brought forward to keep the mo going. So, what is the status of the horse race at this moment?
