HALPERIN'S TAKE: Why Did the Clintons Loan Their Own Money to Her Campaign All of a Sudden?

1. They were spooked by Obama's Internet fundraising potency.

2. An old rule they learned in Arkansas: never lose an election because you are outspent on TV ads.

3. They have more personal wealth than ever before.

4. They knew that a bad Super Tuesday could have ended her campaign.

5. The pool of wealthy donors not infected with Clinton Fatigue is largely maxed out and tapped out.

6. Because they are from the Al Davis school of politics: Just win, baby.
