So the Democratic Party said it's now paying the approximately $100,000 tab for the Clinton visit, including his airfare, security, rentals and other expenses.

OK .. let me see if I have this right .. The DNC has to PAY Clinton $100,000 to come in town to raise money for them???

Yeah, that's the typical DEM logic of how to spend money. Let's keep Bubba living and travelling in high style while the locals are scrapping for campaign cash!

Two possible reasons: Direct contributions (of this magnitude) to a local candidates election are illegal, but if Bill can get locals to pony up legal amounts even though he gets paid with the trip can skirt limits.

The real answer, though, was this was just to get out the vote, pure and simple.
