Will Hillary release statements about fundraising after her win in WV?

Voided

She raised over 10 million dollars in the 24 hours after Pennsylvania, but was strangly quiet about any funds raised after Indiana. Will her expected win (slaughter) in West Virginia give her a much needed boost, or are people tired of giving her money?

If she somehow does not win WV, this question will be voided.

All questions are settled by Hubdub according to settlement info provided by the question creator.

Settlement details: Settles as yes if one of CNN, NYtimes, MSNBC or the hillaryclinton.com sites report on a surge in fundraising after West Virginia. (A number must be given, i.e. over 10,000 or 1 million)

Settles as no if none of above sources report a surge in fundraising or if none of them report any numbers.

For example any headline in above sources saying:
"Hillary nets additional 3 million in 3 hours after WV" settles as yes.

Comments saying vaguely:
"Hillary expected to increase funds in hours after WV" or "Hillary sees surge in online fundraising after WV" will not be sufficient to settle question.

If she somehow does not win WV, this question will be voided.

Suspend date: Tue 13th May 5pm PDT

Initial likelihoods: Yes: 65%

"Still, West Virginia barely helped her dent Mr. Obama's delegate lead. They'll split 28 delegates, barely more than the 27 superdelegates he collected last week alone, as his spokesman Bill Burton pointed out.

Still, a blowout is a blowout, and Mrs. Clinton used hers to make a fresh plea for donations, glossing over her campaign's $20 million debt, half of it owed to her."

Can this be settled please?

Voided Wed 14th May 3:19pm PDT by ryanj[Admin]: The problem with the market is that it doesn't give a specified time when it is to be settled. How long do we wait? I should've caught this earlier. Also the market question is different then what is described in the settlement details which makes settlement very hard.

The real question is" are any contributions given to Clinton now going to pay off Hillary's debt to herself?"

Apparently she's running out of time to pay off the debt:
