That idea originated with Tim Russert. It just follows the meme of "why doesn't that bitch just quit." I would think that both Bill and Hillary could pay of that debt easily with speaking engagements and such. But what do I know. I don’t think Hillary or Obama have ever suggested paying off her debt.

So I suppose I'm disagreeing with myself. (My, aren't you persuasive? What are you, a lawyer?) I think <a href="http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/193872.php" rel="nofollow">I agree with Josh Marshall on this</a>: the idea of Obama bailing out Clinton with money that has largely come from small donors (myself included) doesn't really sit right with me. Especially since I think the Clintons definitely have the ability to raise the money themselves to pay off their debts. Sure, it would take longer, but it's not like they don't have that capability. Not that I'm a Clinton-hater or anything, but I didn't give my money to her, I gave it to Obama.

Once she drops out, her campaign cash flow will hit zero, and she'll have trouble getting those personal loans paid back. She's probably hoping to bring in more than she spends from here to the convention. If Obama agreed to pay off her campaign debts, she'd drop out tomorrow. It’s all about the money.
