Entry 8- The Big Business of Big Politics- Clinton Campaign Desperate For Debt Bailout

I read this was common practice in major political races between two members of the same party, but I had had never been aware of it before now. Clinton and her campaign are over 11 million in debt from borrowing toward her failed bid for Presidency. The Obama campaign has already reached out to try to help her pay a large sum back. Since these are campaign contributions, they must be paid back if the candidate drops out of the race.

Clinton, however, is holding out. She's still out spending the money and spinning her inane campaign propaganda. Most recently, she assured her backers that if she could get out more of the "white vote," the campaign would turn in her favor. People who have been paying attention should be aware that because of the split in populace vote, and because Obama has garnered so much support from both delegates, and "Super delegates" (Super delegates are just like delegates except they have super powers. Like the ability to sway the entire race against popular opinion, or, infrequently, against the will of their own party.)

Clinton is refusing to respond to Obama's generous offer to help her pay off her debt. The Democratic Party is not going to bail her out because when she does drop out of the race (When not If) the party will need money it has collected to throw in for the official Presidential election after the primaries are over. It seems possibly Clinton will play the spoiler card as long as possible. This is a technique during arbitration called stalling. You never name the price of your product. You wait for your customer to name a price, and if it is way over, you agree. If not, you shut your mouth and pretend the customer is speaking to a wall and not to you.

Someone I know said it is fair for Clinton to stay in the race so the remaining states that have not voted in the primary can at least get out to the poles and let their voices be heard. That is fine, except when the Clinton campaign keeps going for the throat and pretending like they still have a chance at winning the bid even though every analyst, among them former Clinton backers, pretty much agree it's over.

And, by the way, in regards to giving every one's voice a chance to be heard; why don't we stroll down to Michigan, or Florida and ask Democratic voters in those two states how they feel about fairness in this Presidential primary.
