who leaked information, you have to ask yourself, who does it help?

Does it help Hillary for people to think she can't fundraise?

No, it helps Obama.

And BTW, I may need to remind folks that McCain had a horrible time in fundraising....

this happens all the time, Hillary's debt is known by all.

eventually a reporter would ask if they were willing to pay, and a staffer somewhere said yes they would probably do it if he ended the primaries faster.

you can't really keep it secret the public finds out eventually so why would the Obama campaign lie if they really are willing to do it?

Umm... pretty sure that we already know that she is struggling with money.

Do you really think that we only know about this because the Obama campaign may pay off her debts?

Wolffson for one. (none / 0) (#72)

He's the one who talked about the 6.5 million dollar personal loan.  If she's 25 million in the hole, including 11 million out of her pocket, seems like paying off her debt is helping her quite a bit.

on MSNBC earlier about the state of her campaign finances after alluding it (the campaign) was in trouble. He dismissed the "rumor" saying that although the campaign had not raised as much as BO, it had raised more than enough to fund the rest of the campaign's events leading to the nomination. In the meantime, there is quite a dynamic contribution process at hillaryclinton.com , we the Hillary stalwarts will not let her down, it's been done before, it will continue to be done, until she says so.

I Think It Would Put obama's Camp In A Bad (none / 0) (#175)

light...or at least it should, but who knows with the way they spin everything to death.  It makes him look weak and trying to buy his way into one more office.
