WASHINGTON - Resisting calls from Barack Obama to release her income tax returns, Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday she would only do so if she secures the Democratic presidential nomination and contended her rival had been less than candid about his relationship with major campaign contributors.

After the former first lady acknowledged she had lent her campaign $5 million in personal funds, Sen. Obama suggested she release her tax records as he has done to give voters a better accounting of where her money comes from.

The Clintons have become wealthy since leaving the White House in 2001, largely through Bill Clinton's consulting and speaking fees and the couple's lucrative book deals.

Obama spokesman Bill Burton noted that Sen. Clinton had co-sponsored the nuclear regulatory legislation she now criticizes.

"Instead of playing the same Washington games that people are sick of, Senator Clinton should prove how fully vetted she is by finally releasing her tax returns so that voters can see where the millions of dollars she's dropped into her campaign are coming from," Burton said.

Clinton gave the interview on the eve of the so-called "Potomac Primary," in which Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia hold contests. She is expected to lose all three to Obama, adding to her weekend losses to him in contests in Nebraska, Washington state, Louisiana, Maine and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

In the interview, Clinton also was asked whether a "business or personal scandal" involving her husband could emerge and derail her candidacy.

"That's not going to happen," she said, adding "None of us can predict the future ... I'm very confident that will not happen.

Earlier Monday, the New York senator denied that her campaign is in trouble after the string of losses and her campaign manager's departure.

"I'm still ahead in the popular vote and in delegates," Clinton said, though the numbers do not fully support that statement.

An Associated Press tally shows Clinton with a slim lead among delegates — 1,147, compared to 1,124 for Obama. But an initial tabulation of the total popular vote showed Obama likely to pull ahead once the results of states that held caucuses are fully counted.

What is Hillary Clinton hiding?

I wonder if she wrote off the Foster "suicide" as a business expense...

I wonder if your parents write off your "hand cream" as a medical expense.

You haven't typed a single original or clever thought, since you started trolling here.

Bet you can't.

And yeah, my parents had kids that lived. And unlike your parents? Their kids live without the need for helmets and drool cups.

I havent "typed" an original thought here because I wanted to fit in...

I guess you envy the kids your parents had and lived. If only there was universal healthcare - then your parents could AFFORD helmets and drool cups...

If only they didn't use their food stamps for crack, that is.

Admit it. At least to yourself. You don't have the stones.

You're a fairly stupid kid. Do you think you invented this? That thing where you try to build your self-esteem trolling tough talk on a message board?

It won't fill that aching void, you know. We can all already see what a pussy you are.

I just LOVE making liberals like yourself sputter...Funny how they always revert to attacking. How amusing to see you attempt to delve into my psyche when you have trouble navigating a bowl of tapioca.

You call me a troll simply because I present an opposing point of view.

Sorry Donny, but you're going to have to try harder. Kanesdickhead can't do it with his phony "street-cred" (does anybody REALLY say "fuckstick"??) and you can't do it with your "smarter than thou" attitude.

Best for you to go back and wring your hands over "stolen elections".

Sputter? You don't make me sputter. And neither I nor the tapioca is particularly proud that we're smarter than thou, little fella. It ain't rocket science.

And don't bother crying about being attacked, you're getting what you came looking for.

I call you a troll, because you're a troll. And navigating your psyche is SO fucking easy, because there just isn't that much to it.

I know you think you're badass, but you're just repeating the same song and dance that every angry little neo-con feeb comes around with. Every sentence predictable, every word a bleated chant from somewhere else. It's ALL been done. And even with the bar as low as it is? You're still not very good at it.

Enjoy your rant, and your tough talk. The end of the day? Still a pussy.

While it amuses me? I'll keep slapping you around. But you're not showing me much.

I save my good stuff for heavyweights - of which YOU aren't. I don't NEED to complain about being attacked - this entire wretched thread proves my point.

Slapping me? I think not - your hands are too busy in other areas.

You see, the predictable one here is you - YOU take the intellectual high-ground when the fact is that you only rent, not own it, and you're in arrears.

Go on thinking you're the intelligent one - THAT'S what's predicatable. Gore did it. Kerry did it. Clinton and Obama do it. It hasn't worked, but go right ahead, try again and again.

Maybe SOMEDAY you'll get the message.
