Clinton Makes Second Loan to Campaign

Tonight, Cnn's Bob Constantini relayed unconfirmed and undisputed reports that Senator Hillary Clinton gave her campaign for the Democratic nomination another infusion of cash.

Senator Clinton is locked in a tight race for the Democratic nomination that many believe will be largely determined tonight in the primary contests in Indiana and North Carolina.

The Clinton campaign has suffered through staff shake-ups and financial woes, spending the last few months in the red on their balance sheet. It has been reported widely that the campaign has had problems paying vendors and and finding enough funds to compete in television advertising, although staffers have claimed the earlier Pennsylvania contest, won by Clinton, produced record breaking donations through the campaigns website. Financial data is expected in the upcoming days.

Reports have circled the campaign for months, painting the culture of staff as divided and contentious. Long-time friend Patti Solis-Doyle was widely believed to have been forced out, and trusted director Mark Penn had to step down in early April after supporting a free trade deal with Columbia that was against the position of Senator Clinton.

At the time of this report the numbers of the contests are still being counted. It appears that it will go as expected: a strong win to Senator Obama in North Carolina and a narrower win for Senator Clinton in Indiana.
