WOW donors money used to pay off others peoples debts. CHANGE you CANNOT believe in.

Sure Vanessa because it is okay to compromise your values to get your candidate in office.

I call it an investment. This country is in serious need of change. Paying off several millions and in exchange for the white house will do.

We can't afford 4 more years of Bush policies.

We can't afford 4 years of any attention seeking zealot who doesn't know what he is doing either. I want a president not an icon with groupies like Scarlett Johanson, and Donatella Versace.

I think Obama will ask his fat cats to give Hillary money in exchange of her fat cats giving money to him.

Obama is basically paying her to campaign for him for the next 5 months. Looking across a lot of polls Obama generally needs to be pulling in 10-15% more of the democratic base then he is right now to get him up to 85-90% of the party and an easy win November. If she can deliver that than $10 million dollars is a steal.

They'll probably end up doing a bunch of joint fundraisers splitting the money raised, or he'll write her a nice letter. It's unlikely that he'll just cut her a check, and pretty unnecessary - why bother ticking off folks still sore at her when he can just ask other folks to help her in the interests of a united party?

WHENIT COMES TO CAMPAIGNING SHE KNOWS HOW TO GET THE POINT ACROSS TO THE VOTERS IF HE OBAMA DOESN'T TAKE HER AS VICE PRESIDENT THEN I KNOW HE HAS HIS BRAINS IN HIS FEET OR IS SITTING ON THEMSHE SHOULD BEE THE CANDIDATE NOT HIM

How sickening. Mr. "Man-of-the-people" is going to defer millions in 'donations' meant for his campaign to Hillary's debt? And you liberals condone that?

You people are such hypocrites.

The point is there is no point to all the bantering. Either you have two experienced people who will make changes in this country, or you will get the same crap we've had for the past 8 years. It's no wonder we're in a mess....it's called denial and hiding your head in the sand until a crisis, then you pull your head out of your butt and get blinded by the sudden beam of light that overtakes your fuzzy brain.

So stop bickering about Obama and Clinton he said, she said and just go to the damn polls and vote out the dimwits that have been screwing us for the first decade of the 21st century.

thank you.

Chris McMullen,

Obama cannot defer his donations directly to Hillary. That's illegal.

He can ask his donors to donate additional funds directly to Clinton. And his donors can choose whether they want to or not. And Obama can attend events to help Hillary raise funds.

People have gave according to candidates totals are over one-half a billion dollars. I wonder what has come of all that money in campaigning. While people which I am one are giving to help the candidates most can not afford it. So the candidates live like kings while we are paying over $4.00 a gallon for gas. After whoever gets into office the tax payers pay them a big salary and pay for their expenses. What do we get in return. A lot of promises but hardly ever any resulte.

As a democrat, I believe that unity is strength. Though Obama was and still is my choice for president, Hillary can help him to win the election. They should therefore map out a strategy that could help paying that debt off. After all Hillary spent the money a historic political process that has impacted democracy greatly in the history of US

Another Dem for Mccain I cold not have put it better myself. More power to PUMA

Very EXCITED about this UNITY rally on Friday!!!

Hey, can you guys "retire" by debt while you're at it?

Why are all of these comments negative. Are you guys a bunch of whiners? of course you are! Shut Up!

I am still waiting for Obama to earn my vote- this is a good start. Hillary as VP should be next.

If the roles were reversed Obama and his supporters would demand all of this and more.

Various news/media outlets have been putting the story out there that Hillary and Barack Obama are going to be making several campaign appearances together! What's more, these same outlets (i.e., CNN, MSNBC, Newsweek, NYTimes, Washington Post, Mark Halperin, Eugene Robinson,... OK, you get the picture) are gleefully reporting that the two campaigns are coming together nicely for the higher purpose of doing everything that possibly can be done to elect the chosen nominee of the Democratic Party!

Wow!, I've been getting that thrilling sensation running up my leg since hearing the news. I just can't wait for the first Tuesday in November to hurry up and get here so I can run to my polling place and vote vote vote, for Barack Obama. Gee, now that Hillary is going to make campaign appearances with him, I've suddenly become so excited about this election!

On second thought.., Yah Right!!
