Clinton now DUPING her supporters to repay her $11 million loan?
What other possible reason is there for her to continue campaigning? Pledges or no pledges, she's most likely now "fighting on" to squeeze her supporters of her "loaned" $11 million......

Perhaps if she had acknowledged reality after super Tuesday, she wouldn't have to mislead her supporters into thinking she's fundraising to win at this point.

And please don't ask me to take a silence pledge - this is a campaign, not Sunday School.

2. If she does drop out, the deal will..
include the Obama campaign paying off her debts.

18. No deals IMO.
No VP slot, no Majority Leader, no paying off their lavish hotel bills, nothing. Just drop out and go away Hillary.

The Clintons will be okay, even 12 million down.

5. I think that she is in serious distress mode with respect to reallity... She needs...
Edited on Wed May-07-08 10:50 AM by LakeSamish706
some professional help and someone in her family or campaign needs to realize this... It would not surprise me to see her go into serious melt down once she does realize the realliy here.

8. That would be pretty low.
Hey you there, the one that can't make ends meet...yeah I need a little help with this 11 million dollar debt I ran up. No, i'm not going to be the nominee, but could you spare a buck? I don't want my net worth going under 100 million!

10. Better them than Obama & his supporters, like me.
Hillary Supporters - send her cash NOW, and LOTS of it, so she can retire her campaign debt w/out dumping it on the rest of The Party.

11. Comment last night on MSNBC: Hillary wasted loads of money in the beginning....
..when she was unopposed, doing these press events in different states, showing up with full regalia. It was compared to the kind of regalia one would see from a visiting incumbent president.

Then there's also the whole deal about her buying a new airplane so she wouldn't have to walk by the press corps to go to the head.

I think it's tacky for her to put the pinch on her supporters like this. She's not going to win, money is tight for most folks, and I think it's a testimony to Hillary's selfishness that she's trying to get even more money from her supporters now.

12. Thats because she thought the same thing everyone else did
even me...who was pretty much anyone but Hillary when this all started. Everyone, even those running thought at the outset that she'd most likely be the nominee so she used everything she was given the same way a high school teen would use their parents credit card. In the end she defeated herself.

13. She could send Bill out to make a speech...
He gets paid horrendous amounts, unless things have changed since his booboos on the campaign trail.

15. This is exactly right, it's about $$ now.
there's no way in the world she will win the nomination fairly. Her supporters are being duped.

17. All Kinds Of Funny Things Come To My Mind Now......
Hillary will fight for the Gas Tax Holiday if you send her the $28 you save to defray her campaign expenses.

You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time - I guess the latter would be the Clinton supporters).

Then there's this clip: http://www.vidiac.com/video/3097ac6c-ea74-40db-aff4-3e45d7dec79e.htm

20. I'm so sick of her whining about being out spent....
3 to 1. She's had name recognition and one of a handful of actual living presidents and an icon of the democratic party out stumping for her since day one. That seems like an advantage to me....Well, never mind.

21. Hillary has about $15 million in her general election fund
If she drops out, can't she repay herself with that?

24. They were actually talking about this on MSNBC last night...
Edited on Wed May-07-08 12:09 PM by Barrymores Ghost
...and Dan Abrams was incredulous when one of his political analysts stated that the only reason Hillary will stay in the race is to shake as much pocket change from her desperate cult members as she can, while she can.
