Is Hillary out?

Is it over? Has the Hillary Clinton camp privately begun
throwing in the towel?
To wit: Sneed hears a Hillary Clinton fund-raiser starring
hubby Bill Clinton here Thursday will only ask for cash
they don't have to give back.
Translation: the $1,000-a-ticket event at the Palmer House
Hilton will only ask donors for money covering her primary
campaign.
Further translation: It's a big administrative hassle to
refund general election cash -- but you don't have to give
back money donated to the primary campaign. Hillary has
already infused her war chest with $9 million-plus of
her personal funds.
$$$$$: Donors can give $2,300 for the primary and $2,300
for the general election, and often get hit up for the
full $4,600 at these fund-raisers.
The buckshot: "This is the first time I've ever seen a
federal campaign ask only for primary dollars. The fact
is the fat lady is standing at the microphone -- and
will be singing soon," according top a Dem fund-raiser.
