On March 20, 2008, Hillary Clinton’s campaign filed its March Monthly FEC Report. This report covers the period of Feb. 1 - Feb. 29, 2008. Here’s the breakdown:
Total Raised In February: $35,826,665.44
Money Spent In February: $31,838,144.63
Cash On Hand At End Of February: $33,174,862.16
—> For Primary: Approx $11,700,000
—> For General Election: $21,00,000
Debts: $8,733,609.11
Although Clinton had a total of $33 million cash on hand at the end of February, a closer look reveals that she only had about $3 million available primary cash at the end of February. Here’s why: of the total cash on hand, $11 million of it was available for primary spending (the remaining amount is only available for general election spending). Once you subtract the campaign’s $8.7 million debt from that figure, a more accurate picture of Sen. Clinton’s finances is present - one that shows that her campaign only had about $3 million in available primary funds at the beginning of this month.
