impacted by all those things they're fighting to have heard and addressed. Btw ........ there are millions of older adults also supporting him. You may want to look into it.

What about that private-prison lobbyist money, you never answered that?

Clinton may need Obama's help with her campaign debt

"The ultimate winner often helps the penultimate winner repay debt," said Chris Lehane, a former Clinton White House aide, who is not part of Sen. Clinton's campaign. "I'm not aware of anyone having those conversations. But historically, candidates have helped others deal with their debt."

Her opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, told reporters in Oregon recently that he intended to have "a broad-ranging discussion with Sen. Clinton about how I could make her feel good about the process and have her on the team." He has said he doubts Clinton is remaining in the race because of any financial incentive.

But Obama is the unquestioned fundraising leader of the 2008 campaign, having raised more than $240 million. At the end of March, he had $51 million in the bank. He cannot transfer money to Clinton, but he could request that his contributors donate to her to help pay her debts. Some Obama donors said they would consider helping.

With her campaign now officially suspended, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is confronting still another challenge: whittling down what is believed to be the largest presidential campaign debt in history.

Besides the $11.4 million of her own money that Mrs. Clinton lent her campaign, she had about $9.5 million in unpaid bills to vendors at the end of April, according to her most recent filing with the Federal Election Commission.

It is unclear how much debt she will ultimately report, because the campaign is still adding up the figures for May, which it must file to the commission by June 20. But Mo Elleithee, a campaign spokesman, said, “We don’t expect the debt number to look significantly different than it did on our last report.”

Other, far more affluent candidates have poured more of their own money into their presidential bids, like Mitt Romney, who spent more than $44 million in an unsuccessful run for the Republican nomination this year. His money was technically classified by his campaign as a loan, but it was clear from the beginning that he was simply self-financing a large part of his campaign.
