Look for Obama to send Hillary some money now to help retire that debt. Hillary can’t want him to win or she will be out in 2012, but leaving the debt affects some of her supporters.

Clinton should do what Mitt did and just write it off, so the fundraising can go to the ticket.

The B—— will be back. She can’t have OB win, then she’s out again in 2012.

Geez, are we still dealing with the issue of Hillary’s campaign debt?
If each of Hillary’s 18 million supporters sent her a dollar, the debt would be paid off.
Or, considering that the Clintons earned $109 million in the almost eight years since they left the White House, they can easily pay off their debts out of their own pocket, and still not have to worry about how to pay their bills. When dealing with such wealthy people, why is the campaign debt a big issue? Hillary lent her campaign most of the money after her campaign was a lost cause. What does that say about her READY ON DAY ONE judgement? Sometimes you have to know when to hold ‘em, and when to fold ‘em.

We’ll know if he coughs up the money.

Surely folks can't expect Barrack and Michelle to mortgate
their humble Chicago home in order to help out Hillary!!!
Those plain folks had to really struggle to pay off their student loans!

Too bad Rezko is in jail. If he wasn’t I am sure Barrack and Michelle could get him to do a fund raiser for Hillary. But times are tight with the Obamas’ now. They don’t even have enough money to send to Obama’s brother that is living in a hut.

She cant have OB win, then shes out again in 2012. Her Senate seat is up for reelection in 2012. Normally, she should be building a war chest for that campaign right now, even though she's unlikely to face any substantial opposition.
So she'll have to write off her $13 million personal loan, raise $35 million to retire the rest of her 2008 campaign debt, raise money for her 2012 Senate campaign, and raise enough money to run for president again.
I'm not sure it's feasible for her to do that.
