A Debt of Attitude

Just in from AP:

WASHINGTON - A campaign aide says Hillary Rodham Clinton loaned herself $6.4 million in the past month.

That’s pretty much all there is at this point.  I’ve got three questions:

1. Did the Clinton campaign really raise $10 million in the day after the Pennsylvania primary as they claimed they did?
   
2. How much did they spend on advertising in Indiana and North Carolina compared to Obama?
   
3. If Hillary keeps this hopeless and ego-driven campaign lurching forward is the expectation that the Obama campaign will bail her out of debt when she finally (and inevitably) drops out?

“Senator Clinton gave the campaign a $5 million loan on April 11th, a $1 million loan on May 1st, and a $425,000 loan on May 5th,” [Hillary spokesperson Howard] Wolfson said, adding that she’d lent the campaign the money to keep pace with Obama’s spending on TV in Pennsylvania, Indiana and North Carolina.

“The loans are a sign of Senator Clinton’s commitment to the race, to continuing the process, and to continuing to be competitive with Senator Obama on television and in other areas,” Wolfson said.

Kevin, coming out of lurker mode to say that’s got to be the best blog title of the day. Very funny and appropriately cruel.

If Obama bails her out with the money I donated to him, I may vote for McCain!

/jj

Todd, I had the same thought, minus the McCain! I don’t want her getting a freaking nickle of my money.

Todd, thanks.

Betty! What a great day, huh?

I think Todd’s “jj” indicated he was joking about McCain, but I understand his apprehension about his money going to Clinton.  I’ve donated to Obama and would hate to think it would go to reward an egomaniacal multimillionaire (elitist?) for foolhardy spending on a poorly-managed campaign.
