This is interesting......Hillary may be screwed out of 11 million
unless Obama helps her out...


I posted "What does Hillary Want" in LBN

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x3320379


But this snippet from the article is pretty interesting, first I heard of this...speaking of Obama possibly paying off some of her campaign debt...

"There is an urgency to this task: she has only until late August to raise the cash from donors to repay herself more than $11 million she has personally loaned her campaign."


must be something in the campaign finance law I guess


GOBAMA!

11. Obama CAN'T help her out.
The most his campaign could give her campaign is $2,300.

The only thing he COULD do is put out a special request to his donors to contribute to a special fund for Hillary. But why would he do that? He needs our money for the general. Besides, I don't think he'd get too many takers on that request.

The ultimate perfect justice is if they are stuck with that $11 million bill for a FAILED Presidential campaign. $11 million of your own money down the toilet must make them at least a LITTLE queasy. And I LOVE it.

:rofl:

16. He's got much more imprtant issue to take care of
like getting elected. And for the record, she's not screwed out of anything. She has enough wealth that 11 million lost won't hurt her.

12. How do her supporters (the hardworking salt of the earth ones) feel about giving $ so she can pay
herself back the millions she lent her campaign? C'mon, folks! Buck it up! Give till it hurts, so to speak, so that Hillary can continue being a multimillionaire!

15. I had once been a
proponent of Obama absorbing her debt to help her suspend her campaign with a little less pain. Not anymore. Not after her 'hard-working white' comment, her karl rove map reference, her Florida speech. Not this time. Not this year. Not ever again.

30. Obama supporters better raise cash for their candidate...
He has spent more than he has taken in for the past 4 months.

No wonder you guys are so freaked by Hillarys staying in the race.

Politics are the world's most expensive hobby.

34. And yet, he's still comfortably in the black.
Obama has >1/5 million donors, and tfew of them are near the noation limit. There's a lot more support where that came from.

35. She could pay her debts herself if she would STOP spending money.
But her ego is more important. I wont give her a dime.

36. New Clinton campaign video (warning: this is sarcasm)
just in case anyone would take my post seriously.

The Flying Lizards have a song for Hillary on YouTube.

If they want to bring it to the convention...they better pay HRC debts first!

40. It's ok, I'm sure her supporters will be just thrilled to make it up for her
Edited on Thu May-22-08 03:57 PM by TornadoTN
Right?

If I were a supporter of hers, I wouldn't exactly be jumping at the thought of paying her back, especially after seeing her families income statements.

I'm sure Wal-Mart will kick in a few bucks for an old friend as well.
