Edited on Wed May-21-08 10:00 AM by rateyes
Perhaps, this is the reason that Hillary is pushing for the number 2 slot on the ticket---to legally get the Obama campaign to pay off her campaign debt. Hillary talks about "fighting for the working class." Well, Hillary, the part of the working class that have set up chairs, printed your campaign banners/t-shirts/buttons, cleaned up after your events, etc. are owed $9.5 million dollars by your campaign for this month alone. How much more has gone unpaid in the past 15 months? THEY NEED THEIR MONEY! Pay up.

8. Problem is, a lot of the vendors can't pay their bills
until Hillary pays hers. People are hurting out there, and they aren't getting their money.

9. Absolutely. Hillary needs to stop the spending, and just focus on repaying her debts.

13. Wonder how much she has racked up in late fees?
I'd be turning the debt over to the debt collectors.

24. Good news! Of the $9.5million owing, 5 million is to Penn.
Edited on Wed May-21-08 12:16 PM by Buck Rabbit
I looked at the detail breakdown of the filing.

Another 1 million of it is to a Washington DC llC for "printing".

3. Or perhaps it's the real reason she's hanging on until the bitter end
Edited on Wed May-21-08 10:01 AM by rocknation
Once she pulls out, she can't ask for any more donations.

10. In Obama's speech last night, he didn't ask for donations.
I don't think I've ever heard him ask for donations in a speech after a primary, etc. Hillary has said it so much that the crowds say the line before she says it---"Go to Hillary Clinton dot com and make a donation."

4. A perfect example
Of why she she "NOT" be on the ticket, period! She could have paid these debts, but she didn't, and she keeps on asking for more money, and she keeps on stiffing the people that she owes. Not a good example of someone who should be on the ticket!

18. Agreed.
This is one thing that REALLY bugs me about this situation. I feel bad for the small business owners and whoever basically has gotten screwed, so far, out of their rightful earnings. That's just not right at ALL as far as I'm concerned.

19. Pay as you go.
Paygo is what the Dems called it in Congress when it came to the budget. She needs to pay the vendors FIRST before she spends any more money.

25. A lot of it appears to be new debt. If you compare
Debts by Vendor on the April and May reports, many of the smaller vendors that were owed $ on the former were paid. She can stiff Penn, et al - that's OK with me.
