Why Clinton Stands to Lose Millions

Nevada Convention- free lunch for all Clinton Delegates, free transportation and rooms for at least some of her delegates.
Colorado Convention - her campaign handed out an 'unlimited' number of $5.00 food and beverage coupons to her delegates.
Good God, I dread the thought of how she would spend our money if she were POTUS

If, after Clinton has gracefully conceded her loss and pledged to campaign for Obama, and encouraged her supporters to do the same, the Obama campaign calls and asks me if I would like to give a few bucks to pay down her debt, I would not be upset. I might even consider doing so. In the end I probably would decline, because I think she's made her bed and should lie in it, and as many have said above there are many other causes that could use my money and attention. But I wouldn't feel offended or betrayed.
And to Dean: While I agree with you, I think the issue is not that people are ignorant (uneducated, sure), but that they are afraid. We've seen 8 years of steady decline in this country in basically every area, and the stakes for this election couldn't be higher. If people are willing to spout malicious lies about Obama being a fanatical Muslim spy, it just speaks to how effective the Bush administration has been at spreading lies and fear in this country.
When Obama didn't campaign in WV, people there said they felt left out. While there are people who don't want to know the truth, there are just as many who do. Everyone in this country is important, and over the next few months the Obama campaign (and I'd argue all Democrats) should make it a point to reach out to them.

After reading the comments above, I am again totally amazed at the number of uneducated and ignorant people there are in this country. The fact that anyone would say the Obama hates the US, tells me that people will believe anything. Has anyone read either of his 2 books? My feeling is that if Hillary wants to spend her own money on her campaign, let her. But, it should be her responsibility if she loses. I don't think she should be bailed out by anyone. It was her idea to run, and her idea(or lack of fund raising) to use her own money, so it should be her debt. My biggest problem with her is that she changes her stance over and over again. Since the time the race started, she has gone from pretty far left to a much more moderate position. She really doesn't have any specific plan for the economy and her plan for national health care will cost this country billions of dollars.

Mother Day Reflection on Election Campaign 2008 :
Obama and Black supportors reminisced wrestlers whose matches are pre-arranged and play by hitting under the belt theatric causing economic downturn just to win. So, stop watching American games. Obama's white supportors are insulting their own race as incompetent and incapable of managing their own country . Whether Obama will be elected his "super delegates", who endorsed at other's expense, must be sentenced to live in Black neighborhoods for more than four years to find out what they are really like. The democratic governor of Oklahoma who had just endorsed Obama must be executed for causing their supernatural tornadoes. The communication media of the U. S. are circus clowns not worth commenting on because they have never given any honest election comments. Hillary Clinton, best American candidate in history, can be identified with a unspoiling mother who has wasted her own $10 mllion just to warn her stubborn and ignorance daughter not to date strangers in the street. American voters in general are "blind" to good judgement. Happy Mother Day!

HILLARY'S PLAN: Hillary know she cant win but she wants to ruin Obamas chances. Why?
So she can tell people I told you so, and four years from now she can run again, after 12 yrs of republican presidents, she will be the President!

Hell no! Obama should not give her a red cent!. The Billary made Karl Rove look like an angel with their nasty gutter politics. Let Big Fat Bill go sell his soul to the highest bidders as he has probably been doing all along, which is one reason we are not able to get close to his cheap talk list of speech donors. Lets close the chapter on the Clintons. Go Obama!

Our country is in for a bad time if either demaCROOK gets in. Obama hates the USA and hilliary only wants to be in power no matter what the cost. She dont care about the country, just her power. Obama couldn't lead a snake out of a garden path. Bet he could help muslims take over though. wake up country, get rid of these two people who wants so desperately to be in total power, use a veteran who has ben in service and knows whats going on.

If Democrats wish to re-take power, Hillary must face-up to reality and accept defeat. Barack Obama clearly is leading the way and Hillary should step aside and campaign for him. Her campaign debts are rather significant and despite her personal wealth, I doubt she is willing to pour in more cash from her own account, yet I could be wrong as she has surprised us all many times before. Her campaign has made many mistakes and underestimated Barack Obama. The Bush's and Clinton's must and need to step aside in order for this country to bounce back on its feet.
