You know you’re in deep trouble when this sort of thing comes out about you.

The Article: Money shocker! Hillary Clinton’s campaign debt soars to $31 million (Via Los Angeles Times)

No wonder Sen. Hillary Clinton was so late filing her required campaign financial reports Tuesday night. Her political team didn’t want the shocking news in it to overshadow her lopsided thumping of Sen. Barack Obama in Kentucky.

Now comes the morning after, pay-up time. Clinton’s campaign debt has now soared to nearly $31 million, according to numbers crunched early this morning by The Times’ campaign finance guru, Dan Morain.

She added another $9.5 million in unpaid bills to venders this past month alone, pushing her total debt to venders and herself to the new astronomical figure, about a 50% debt increase in one month.

According to a campaign release put out Tuesday evening as election returns revealed her big win in Kentucky and loss in Oregon, Clinton raised "approximately $22 million" from other people in April. The release also touted that $10 million had poured in within 48 hours of another lopsided Clinton victory over Obama, that one in Pennsylvania, and said it was the second best fundraising month of her entire campaign.

But the number collected is actually closer to $21 million and the release also neglected to mention that she spent $28.9 million, nearly $8 million more than she took in. She used personal loans to make up part of the difference. She also delayed payments to consultants. Including the $9.5 million in unpaid bills from April, she owes consultants and other venders $19.5 million.

Not to mention the total $11.4 million she has loaned herself.

You know, I just thought about it, and this is totally mind boggling… Hillary Clinton owes as much money as Barack Obama raised last quarter. Good Lord. Rolling Eyes All this, so she might be able to score a V.P. Spot on his ticket. I tend to believe that when Carly Simon wrote that song, you know the one about being vain, she was writing it about Hillary. Hee hee 

I’m just saying……..

(*UPDATE: Due to a mathematical error, Hillary Clinton’s loans to herself were added twice in the calculation of this item.  Her total debts are about $20 million, not $31 million.  A corrected item will be published shortly.)
