Hillary's Debt

hillarydebt

Here’s the form Hillary Clinton supporters are asked to fill out when donating money to help retire her campaign debt.

The form was sent to me this morning by a reader who received it recently. It reads in part, “I hereby designate my contribution to be used towards 2008 primary election debt retirement for Hillary Clinton for President. I am making this contribution with my own personal funds and not with funds provided by any other person."

One question to think about is how many of Clinton's donors are even eligible to help her out. After all, wasn't one of the reasons she fell behind Barack Obama in the money game the fact that she relied on wealthy donors who maxed out -- contributing $2,300 to her primary and general election funds? Those supporters, no matter how much they may want to, can't now give her more money.
