      *INDIANAPOLIS (AP) ¯ Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton lent her presidential campaign $6.4 million over the past month, her campaign said Wednesday, underscoring the financial advantage held by her rival, Barack Obama.

      The money more than doubled Clinton's personal investment in her bid for the Democratic nomination. She gave her campaign $5 million earlier this year.

      Clinton lost to Obama by a wide margin in North Carolina and managed only a slim win in Indiana, a victory that she held out as evidence that she still has staying power in the race.

      Clinton made a direct fundraising appeal to backers to help her compete against Obama's better-financed operation - unusual remarks at a victory party.

      "I need your help to continue our journey," Clinton said in her speech. "This has always been your campaign, and this is your victory because your support has meant the difference between winning and losing."

      "I hope you will go to HillaryClinton.com and support our campaign," she added.
