Washington, June 20 (ANI): New York Senator Hillary Clinton will have to bear the entire 11 million dollars loan she gave her campaign because the fund-raising has dried up.
Hillarys push to retire her debt — more than 20 million dollars including her loan — is going so poorly that getting help to pay it down has become a major point of negotiation with Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, who wants Hillary to help smooth things with angry Clinton die-hards, sources have said.
I have raised nothing since the campaign ended, The Daily News quoted a Hillary fundraiser, as saying.
Sources said the fact that they have all but written off their own loan suggests they’re favouring the local caterers and printers they used for campaign events.
Even the Clintons wouldnt pay themselves back before they pay the little guy in Iowa, a Clinton fund-raiser said. After she quit, the money dried up, the source said.
Another source said that Clintons campaign failed to understand modern fund-raising, in spite of raising a stunning 220 million dollars.
It was a pre-Internet strategy, said a top Democratic official. You go to your big donors and get them to max out. Now it’s almost impossible to get money because it’s over. Why would somebody want to give to retire a debt for somebody who lost?
Clintons best shot at retiring her debt now lies with Obama, who has built the best political cash machine ever seen. Sources said she wants Obama to tap his full grass roots ATM, but negotiations were going on. (ANI)
I'd bet a large amount of Obama's money is coming from overseas.
So she’s hiding in India now?
Wow. A Clintonite accidently told the truth.
Barry Hussein Obama is flush with almost $300,000,000, which he can’t possibly need when McCain has only $85,000,000. Surely BO can show his generous nature and help the less fortunate like Hillary, who only has $100,000,000 left in her bank account.
The Founding Fathers are rolling over in their graves...
And the gander ran away with the gold.
This is the reason, IMHO, that she's holding on tho her delegates. That way, come convention time, she can say..."I'll give you my delegates, if you remove this debt".
Don’t worry, the Clintons will beg for money from their Marxist supporters, like they did during their time in office.
Donations can be sent to the “Poor Bill & Hillary Foundation”. Either that, or she will be forced to sell one of her or Bill’s mansions in New York. Please, do not cause her to do that!
i am sure that the clintoons will find a way to milk the money out of the public and be scandel ridden once again....that is the way they operate....just look at thier record...its just a shame that they always squirm free unlike the common man and woman.......
Or she should trade cattle futures for a week or 2 and she'll be out of debt in no time. She was very successful with that in the past and should still have the skills and expertise to make a fortune.
Personally I would pay to have her just go away.
She owes money and she is taking a one month vacation from her job in our US Senate. Get the money from Bill you leech.
This article appears to have been written by an illiterate chimp.
Not a problem.........she will write it off as a business loss.
couldnt happen to nicer people
It really isn’t a problem.
Does anybody really believe that Hillary won’t be given a 15-20 million guaranteed book deal in advance.
Watch and learn. The liberal elite don’t put their financial well being at stake unless they know they are covered.
Hillary has a history of stiffing people. If they want their money they’ll have to take legal action.
Can the campaign be considered a business enterprise? Can she simply file bankruptcy?
Remember when the Clintons were the darlings of the “Newsmedia” and the Democrat Party? These people would throw their own mothers overboard for a dime or an increment of power. They would send you and me to hell for less. (Not that I feel sorry for the Clintons, mind you.)
Now, lock her up for stealing those FBI files! BIG fine too!!
Isn’t there some “Bad Clintons” legal thing going on that was put off until after the nomination (or election)?
Oh, Boo-Hoo!!!!!!
Leftists are very generous with YOUR money--very stingy with their own.
They love draconian laws to which THEY are exempt!
Well I remember my hippie days, when I rapidly learned the importance of keeping my hand on my wallet when dealing with Leftists "Who Loooooooooooooooove Everybody And Just Want To Do Good in the World and MAKE-A-DIFFERENCE!"
Some of them once handed me a chain letter asking for $10,000, "to keep LOVE alive and growing", and saying that those who don't hand it over are "in to negativity and contracture". I replied: "No. I'm afraid I'm in to negativity and contracture."
Quit complaining, struggling is good exercise, which you could use a lot of, porky :-)
You ask your "friends" to pay it back?
And they should because???
Why the hell are foreign governments paying him millions __________ ?
No other explanation make any sense. Bribes, payoffs, extortion money, blood money or illegal influence peddling. They are all the same to me. Bill and Hill are greedy crooks and everybody knows it.
Apparently Black Whiteguilt Oblack doesn’t know how to make Change??
Pray for W and Our Troops
Between her and Slick they have the money. But they don’t want to spend their money, as usual.
She’ll end up doing it the “John Glenn” way....
Yes, follow the money.
These are people who took a deduction for used underwear.
A bake sale, maybe? She can sell her cookies!
At some point the two compaings will reach an agreement and Obama will tap his big money supporters for max contributions to help retire the Hillary loan portion of the debt.
Her problem started when her best strategy caught the public’s attention and she had to give back a lot of the money. After that, there was too much risk of scrutiny to raise money effectively.
Don't bet the rent money on this one.
The word “struggle” assumes something not in evidence: it assumes the beast worries about paying it back.
Last night I heard that Hillary was going to divorce Bill. She said since her dream didn't come true there was no reason his couldn't come true.
Thats commonly called 'Deferred Compensation'.
FR is swarming today since Hillary will join Obama on the campaign trail. This may be enough for the Conservatives to get out and vote for McCain.
This makes sense if there is not expectation amoung the monied Democrat donors that Hillary will EVER run again. She is of no further use, why donate?
Hillary taking an $11 mil hit? My heart bleeds.
She’s always saying “I this” and “I that”.
Guess now it’s “I O U”
She might have to tap into the Swiss bank account. Oh poor girl. /sarcasm
Bingo! Great minds... and all that.
Terrorist-Loving Barry Hussein will buy The Beast's delegates.
"Why the Hell not?"
I suspect a $12 million book deal in the near future with the 12 mil up front and the book to be penned sometime in the future......distant if at all.
Who would buy the book? Hillary! has lost her power.
.....she will write it off as a business loss......
Her creditors will do the writeoff and then the she will have collection agents on her ass forever.
