So, I was contacted to help reduce Clinton's debt

Needless to say, I told the person that if HRC is added to the ticket I would hold my nose and vote for the ticket, but in no way would I donate to help pay down her debt (and forget about helping her get reelected should she run again in 2012). The person was disappointed, but I let them know just how hurtful it was to witness the way Obama was treated, and that the race-baiting employed by some surrogates of the campaign, and some random people on the internet is unforgivable.

It may be douchey of me, but I wanted them to bring that message home to the Clinton camp.

1. so, i was talking to someone who answered phones at the o-office.

she said the worst day of the whole campaign was the day the rumor went around that barack was gonna help pay off her debts. she said she got screamed at all day long. and all made a point that they would be triple furious if she was chosen as veep. david zephyr's thread notwithstanding, i just can't see them being that stupid.

i think that some day soon, lo and behold, her debts will be paid off, and no one will be more surprised that she.

3. Couldn't we just offer to pay her debts after the Convention...

IF she's NOT the VP????

Ooops. Is that blackmail?

4. I doubt she'll even come close to being VP

To be honest, she should suck it up, and pay off her debts if need be, and eat her "loan."

AND, no one should feel bad for her.

2. I donated

at first I wasn't going to especially since she accumulated a lot of the debt after she was clearly going to lose. But I really like her so I went ahead and gave a few bucks.

5. i have mixed feelings about this

about helping to pay off her debts.

but one thing i do know is that until the November elections my only focus will be on Obama and others who are running for office and help them win.

can't they deal with the whole debt thing later. can't bill just give a few speeches and pay it off ? is it really that hard ?
