WHY HILLARY WON’T QUIT By Dick Morris Hillary Clinton’s campaign currently owes vendors $8 million, exclusive of the $5 million she owes herself. She cannot use general election money to pay for this debt. If she begins to be anything less than certain that she will stay in up to the convention, she won’t raise any money and will be stuck with the debt. She also realizes that it is only by projecting an almost manic air of certainty that she has any chance at all of hanging onto super delegates. The first whiff they get of a withdrawal, they will all run screaming to Obama to get on the late train. Don’t think that Hillary is delusional. She knows she’s lost but she has no choice but to play the rest of the game. To fold now would leave her in an untenable situation.

Give generously to the Hillary Clinton debt relief fund.
There's always cattle futures.
...Both methods yielded similar results, which support the previous findings; that is, of all modern human samples, sub-Saharan Africans again exhibit the closest phenetic similarity to various African Plio-Pleistocene hominins... That will certainly make her demise all the more fun to watch. Anyone have any popcorn?

When candidates drop out, it is customary for the surviving candidate they endorse to pick up their campaign debts. If Bloomberg runs as Obama's VP, then they will have all the money they need to pick up the tab. But even if Bloomberg does not get the veep spot, Obama can finance the deal with his army of online contributorss. Obama would be stupid to take a Jewish Zionist billionaire as his running mate. If he does manage to win the election, the Zionists will kill him for the greater good of Israel.

Maybe he could get someone like Dick Cheney. That worked like an insurance policy for W.
I have my doubts that Obama could directly pay off Clinton's personal $5M loan. He could help her raise funds, but I do not think he could use campaign donations. Perhaps the party could use party funds. www.law.stanford.edu/publ...ce/collection/107.155.pdf McCAIN FEINGOLD Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BRCA) From Section 304:

The nomination for what? The campaign ran out of money and into debt. That happens when they run out of donors. 28 years of a Bush or Clinton on the ticket appears to be at an end.
So could a megabillionaire like Soros persuade her to leave the race by paying off her debt? (Or do campaign finance laws make a maneuver like that impossible?)
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
Wouldn't Bloomberg be interested in the promise of a post like Secretary of the Treasury?

Makes sense. I'm glad she isn't running our economy, she cannot even run a solvent campaign.

Her campaign is not just insolvent, it's incoherent, and full of backbiting and internal conflict.

As opposed to Barack Obama's massive, and extremely solvent and well run campaign.

Typical Clinton. Remember Billy Bob's "nuts and sluts" campaign to silence all the women he'd molested? Now, the same Clinton team is being used to attack people like Bill Richardson.
Apparently the basis of the Clinton camp's charges of "Judas" and "betrayal" against Richardson is that he told them that Obama wasn't ready and couldn't win. Or so at least Time magazine reports (presumably on the basis of what sources in the Clinton camp told the magazine). As though that somehow committed Richardson to supporting Hillary, or meant that he could not change his mind. As a matter of fact, Richardson could still believe what he reportedly said and still come out in support of Obama, for example, because he thought Hillary was even more doomed to lose and/or because he thought the nomination of Hillary would be worse for the future of the Democratic Party or for the country.

She is going to be here Saturday, I am going with a couple of other people as good as heckling as I am to 'welcome' her to Eugene properly. ;-)
Good on you, Ferret Mike.
Laws don't makes things impossible. They just make people be more creative. No one is concerned about Hillary being homeless and destitute anyway. If that one story is true about how they bought their NY mansion and then rented out a cottage on the property for 3/4's of their entire mortgage payment so that SS agents could work out of it while protecting their arses, then it's not like they'll get any sympathy from people who have brains. (That is, 3-5% of the the US population).

I believe a direct arrangement as you infer would be prohibited as a donation-in-kind exceeding the legal limit. However, he could probably finance a Hillary world speaking tour or some such crud.
It lacks the leadership, and good-ol'-boy charm, of candidate Slick Willie. The campaign has raised lots of money, but in larger amounts from fewer donors than Obama. There is a limit on how much from a single donor can be spent in the primary campaign and the overage gets locked up in the general campaign fund, only to be spent later should the candidate participate in the general campaign. It is Hillary's primary campaign fund that has solvency problems while money that cannot be spent sits in her general campaign fund.
interesting, thanks

That's about it. Politicians do not pass laws they cannot circumvent.
The real reason is someone on the "inside" has to keep the DRUG RUNNING "cover up" going.

i want a detailed report, please. ;)
You mean they still have living, talking witnesses? How'd that happen?
great reply
"You can not save the Constitution by destroying it."
Can you imagine inviting Hillary! to be on your ticket, with your heartbeat being the only thing between her and WJC regaining the Presidency? LOL
