Washington - Hillary Clinton loaned her White House campaign $6.4m over the last month from her personal fortune, aides said on Wednesday, in the latest sign of woe for her fading presidential hopes.

Clinton, who loaned $5m to her campaign for the Democratic party's presidential nomination in January, was trounced by big-spending rival Barack Obama in North Carolina and took only a narrow win in Indiana in key nominating contests on Tuesday.

The performance, which fell well short of her hopes for a "game-changer" result, left the New York Senator facing predictions that her chances of winning the Democratic nomination had all but disappeared.

Clinton loaned her effort $5m on April 11, eleven days before her win in the Pennsylvania primary rescued her campaign and unleashed a new spurt of fundraising.

She funnelled another $1m into the campaign account on May 1, and injected $425&nsbp;000 more on Monday, the aides said.
