Is Hillary broke? BY MICHAEL SNEED

Scoop du jour? Sneed hears major money problems in the Clinton camp may soon become a coroner knocking on her campaign door.
• To wit: Word is the cash feeding into Hillary Clinton’s campaign coffers has not only slowed down in a big way, undisclosed campaign debts that have yet to be made public could signal the end and have insiders biting their nails.
• Translation: “It won’t necessarily be politics which may force her out of the race,” said a top Dem source. “There is no hanky panky going on, but Hillary needs to raise money to stay alive . . . and word is she may not be able to climb out of the money hole.”
• The buckshot: “I think it’s safe to say Hillary’s not going to dip into her pocket again,” the source added. “And if her employees start taking pay cuts while chasing the dream . . . it’s usually the beginning of the body becoming totally cold.”
The flip side . . .
Word is former Dem presidential hopeful John Edwards is now leaning toward endorsing Hillary . . . but it’s still a wait and see.
• Translation: Sneed hears Edwards’ wife, cancer survivor Elizabeth Edwards, does NOT favor Barack Obama’s candidacy . . . but NOT because of racism. “She feels her husband should have been the man in the center of the presidential sweepstakes, rather than Obama,” a source said.
The flip side, again . . .
A top Obama source tells Sneed he feels GOP presidential contender John McCain will beat Barack Obama — unless Obama increases his coalition. Stay tuned.
