Do you think Hillary should keep the democrat race going?

As for Operation Chaos...thanks for making America look like a joke.
Gotta wonder why she is dropping all that money into the race. None of this makes much sense, she is killing her future in the Senate. I don't put anything past the Clintons, They could end up doing a 3rd party campaign.

She is going to stay in the race long enough to get a commitment from the super delegates and Obama that they will help here have dinners and other fund raisers to help pay off her mounting debt. It is time for the Clintons to
find a quiet place and just go away.

You might be right about that and what makes me sick is how much she is worth...she and Bill are very wealthy people. If this is the route they are going to take Obama needs to be very careful. If he were to use his campaign money to pay her off many people, myself included, would be very unhappy.
On a side note, did anyone else watch Hillary's speech last night and notice how red Bill was and how uninterested he was in what his wife had to say?

legally is there a limit as to how much personal money can be used for campaigns? She has almost placed 12 million of her own......

good grief, how much is she willing to lose?

Although young, I will still put my say in.
I feel that Hillary should step out of the race. Most fo what she and Bill promised last time never happened, and I don't see why it will be any different this time around.

I also think that it would be nice to get a middle class person as the presedent who knows what it is like to stuggle in life, and not have everything given to them. I also know that it will probably never happen.

Bill was thinking about those fresh interns that he won't be "briefing" in the oral office.

No limit on personal money use.
Obama can not pay off her debts with money contributed to his campaign
BUT....He can attend dinners/fundraisers whose proceeds go to pay off her debt.

Well, there are ways around those pesky campaign finance laws. How much did that gardener donate to Bill Clinton in 96'

You can do stuff like hiring staff that hasn't been paid in months, buy equipment and donor lists. Part of the debt is likely pre paid advertising time which can also be sold.

then you'll want to look at a 3rd party candidate, because none of these 3 are "middle class".

why? it was a response to independants and democrats crossing over and giving the Republicans a nominee that most Republicans don't want. I think it was a great idea, though I have doubts on how much effect it actually had on anything.

I sure hope all the Obamites are so ready to discuss their hero if he gets the MOST IMPORTANT JOB IN THE FREAKIN' WORLD.
I really don't think at least 60% of this country realizes how important the Prez of the US is. Basically ruler of the free world.
Amazing how easy it's being handed to a anti-American pacifist.

why would anyone want to repay her "personally" ??? I mean, if I were to attend dinners/fundraisers as you stated.....basically to replace campaign donations it would be OK. But to replace her personal wealth........?????
And how would that work? Money going back to her personally vs. to "the campaign" ?
yuck ....... I need a shower !!
