Sen. Hillary Clinton dipped into her own finances ahead of this week's Super Tuesday contests, lending her Democratic presidential campaign $5 million in late January, she disclosed Wednesday.
In another development, some senior members of Clinton's campaign staff have agreed to go without pay for a month, CNN has confirmed.
"We had a great month fundraising in January -- broke all records," the New York senator and former first lady told reporters.
"But my opponent was able to raise more money, and we intended to be competitive, and we were, and I think the results last night prove the wisdom of my investment."
Clinton won the biggest Super Tuesday prizes -- New York and California -- along with major Northeastern states New Jersey and Massachusetts and four other primaries in the South and West.

But because of the party's allocation system and Obama's larger number of victories in smaller states, her lead was fewer than 100 of the 1,500-plus delegates awarded to date.
Nice job Hillary. send 5 million into your campaign but let the people who are holding you up high suffer for it...not that any of them are poor or anything - theyre still donating valuable time to you though. i have no words for how much this is going to hurt her image - transforming her into just another washington fatcat.
Yours Truly ~~
