Hallelujah! The first sign that the DNC is not full of a bunch of fools.

What does Hillary have to lose. She has no money. Maybe she can use this to pay her bills.

Barack, make sure you hire a food taster. You can never be too careful!

unreal!!!!

so he's bailing her out and she is trying to steal the nomination from him. he is very honorable and this should go to his character!!!

I'm sure most Americans have no problem contributing to the fund - as long as NONE of those funds end up in the Clinton pockets to help offset her self created $20 million dollar debt.

thats good and everything but is the dnc going to let florida and michigan to participate or we only count here in florida when the dnc needs money?

as

My only question is this some kind of means for Hillary to pay off her 20+ million dollar debt?!

Also to steal some thunder - a report is out saying that the Barack Obama team is making a "major announcement" tonight at 7PM when they expect to get a big superdelegate pickup.

None other than……………………………………John Edwards.

Count it! And the foul

This is just a way to get obama supporters to pay for clinton's campaign debts. Not my money…..she has more money than i do.

To Hillary Supporters who won't vote for Obama if he is the Nominee:

You have the choice to vote for OBama or vote for the 3rd term of BUSH; War for 100 years; Worse economy; Jobs loss; High groceries and gas prices… Just choose what you want…

I don't care about the Old , non-educated people voting for Hillary… I am old, but I care about the future for my children , grand children.. We need Change… No more BUSH-CLINTON…; Why you old -white , keep voting for the same people? Do you want the same politicover and over again?

I'll donate when Hillary exits the race.

THIS is the stuff CNN should be emphasizing. This is the news that puts aside canidate commitment and makes people see that we need to look past the names of Hillary and Obama in order to really achieve something.

Democrats United in November!

That is fine, but I don't want my Obama money going to Clinton's campaign.

I respect Clinton, but I feel we have a nominee now and I don't want my money being used to combat the nominee!!!

Please keep your comments respectful, democrats!

I'm loving the unity that HRC seems to be showcasing today. I think she has turned over a new leaf. Hope it lasts and she has resolved within herself that she can't continue on her current path.

*Still have a feeling I'll be eating these words later*

But I will give respect where it's due.

Obama '08
YES WE CAN!

The unity is nice, but I still will not vote for Obama..

Barack will be a net contributor. Hillary always spends more than she brings in.

the dnc chairman will be the blue guy in the corner waiting for monies from my organization or self…I have contributed to my candidate because she has kept trying to make my vote and 3 million other votes in florida count…

Great job, folks!

Obama/Nunn in 2008!

I wouldn't put one penny in a fund that might go to help the left wing radical racist hypocrite lying arrogant condescending obama.

Oh boy, another tear ! I can see the headlines now, "Pres Hillary has a good cry before addressing the international crisis, then tries to cover up to the american people."

Is this to help pay off her debts?

VERY ENCOURAGING AND GOOD NEWS.

word

Please don't lie to the American people and call this a "Democratic White House Victory Fund" and its really a fund to pay the Clintons back. I'd rather wait until there's a nominee like the Rep. did.

I don't want Hillary to use my contribution… I don't want her in the White house. DNC this is not fair… Are you triying to help out Hillary…?

Obama for President and Hillary for V.P.

It will be an unbeatable team, and they will both change America forever. The first Black President and Female V.P will be the most incredible team in the history of the United States.

Unite and Fix the United States, All of the world needs this.

Good Luck

"Obama and the DNC had come to an agreement several weeks ago." So what you are saying is that HC agreed just recently when her campaign, which will benefit, is now 20 million in the red.

Also, my next question is will any of this money go towards resolving the MI and FL issues?

Economy back on track? Hire more government employees? I can't wait to see how their economy boosts are going to hurt my wallet with new taxes. Good-bye summer vacation!!!!!

THAT'S IT!

If Obama wins Oregon by double digits, Hillary will be dropping out! The Obama campaign is not cash strapped! There is no need for Obama enter into such an agreement unless Hillary will be exiting the race soon and wanted to make sure she can pay for primary campaign debts and loans.

…but wait what about Jeremiah Wright?

Oh yes, we're over it now, you know except the white people who are scared of the darky

boo, he's coming to get you, boo

scared yet?

your house just got forclosed, you lost your job, cant even declare bankruptcy any more, your kid just got sick (oh yeah you lost your health insurance with your job), but don't worry about it you cant go anywhere becasue the price of gas is 5 dollars a gallon, am I missing anything?

BUT JEREMIAH WRIGHT SCARES YOU, YOU DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB MAN

I am a Hillary supporter who will never donate to the DNC. They have managed to create a monster. Obama will not get my vote in November. I am a Reagan Democrat, I vote for the person I think can do the better job. I will write in Hillary Clinton and if that helps McCain so be it. McCain is more moderate then most republicans, and he has tried to cross the aisle on numerious occasions, and Kerry did approached him as a running mate, so he can't be all bad.

Awesome!! Just wait and see how Obama will win !

Hillary needs money, I just hope people are not dumb enough to donate to her, you know to pay her own debts.

OUTSTANDING ! ! ! !

DEMS UNITE ! ! !

Obama can win all the primaries, he will not win the general. I am sure he will fall like Dukakis,Kerry etc. He is too liberal for us Reagan Democrats, who vote for the person rather than the party. We tend to be blue collar white people, who work hard and did not go to college. I am glad to hear all the blacks went to college and make loads of money. We should have more money in the states with that major improvement. Could Obama be pandering with the flag pin? Nah, he is above that.

This is good news provided there are no strings attached, such as making it compulsory for them to be on a joint ticket when the nomination is sorted one way or the other.

So this is the loophole of choice to make sure Clinton gets her $12 million loan back after her campaign goes bankrupt? I will NOT donate to the DNC if they are going to use it to pay Hillary's "loan". She chose to use her own money. It's not my fault she can't run a campaign.

Can this fund be used to pay off Clinton's debts?

Thank you FINALLY for this show of unity. Are you divisive mother(love)rs listening to this?

If you're candidate didn't win, they didn't win. Get over it. It shows nothing regarding race, gender, Michigan, Florida,or anything else, it was a simple show of hands. You think the election was "stolen"?

Stop living in the past. It WILL be Obama v. McCain now. Whether you were for Hillary, Edwards, Paul, or whoever else, you now have 2 (4 if you count Barr and Nader) choices. Stop being hurt and just go for the person who supports you on the issues you care about. For me, it's Obama. I would've gone for Hillary.

If you can't get over it, you look like a child. Age and maturity have practically nothing to do with each other. It's how you handle the experiences you're faced with. You now have a new experience. Choose based on your thoughts, not your feelings.

The world IS watching. You want the world to think the majority of us are 2-year olds who can't handle it when mommy says "no"?

Why does Howard Dean always look like his undershorts are on too tight?

Dean, you really think Clinton is going to try to raise money for the DNC when she can't even raise money for herself! Clinton knows the race is over….they are now campaigning to pay off their huge debt, and guess who will help them do that….you blue collar white americans! You poor fools!

as long as it is legal, i'm with it

Im just wondering how the Hillary campaign is going to manage to fundraise money when they are in debt!! HMmm that should be interesting to see

DEMOCRATS BEWARE!!!

A lot of Repubs posing as Democrats are posting hate mail. They're trying to drive a wedge between us!

RESIST THE REPUB HATE MACHINE!

this is the best news I have heard all day!!!! win back the house

The party will pay for hillary's debts. That's how she keeps going so someone will pay her debts. No money will donate to Obama if he pays her debts.

I will not give anymore money now….Hillary will not get one cent of my money period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK. Obama is the winner!

Almost time to take off our boxing gloves and take a chill and put the gloves back on to wip Mc Cain!

HA! HA!

Sen. Clinton caved in to settle her DEBTS, this is what this is all about. She has conceded to Sen. Obama and he's offered to help pay her debts off for her.

What a revelation, this news break clearly says it all. Sen. Clinton does NOT have the backing nor the support of the Super Delegates to go on and she KNOWS it.

This agreement just marks the official END of the Clinton era. They are now just going through the "motions" to provide Sen. Clinton with an honorable exit. Bottom line.

I've worked at the White House for (25 years) and KNOW this is nothing more than an agreed "exit strategy" for Sen. Clinton.

I'm sorry, but if Hillary was really for unifying the party, she would have conceded a while ago and allowed Obama to move forward, but this constant ride until the end and i'm not stopping now and i'm not quitting, and i'm the better candidate and send me more money, and so on and so on doesn't show unity. It shows division. It's not about everyone getting their vote heard or counted because we have never had this type of primary before. Prolonging the election is only causing harm, because now both candidates followers are vowing to vote mccain or stay home and the feelings are growing deeper. I believe that there will be a large # of voters that will spitfefully vote for mccain regardless of who the nominee is out of anger.

Cash strapped DNC?? How could that be possible under the great leadership of Dr. Dean?? Something is amiss……..

Obama/Nagel 2008/2012

I guess they think that us little people are stupid.This is a quiet way for Obama supporters to pay off some of Hillary's debts.She is already making statements to her supporters to not pick Mccain over Obama.Mabye I'll actually get some work done soon instead of doing this all day.

I'd love to see anyone saying that they aren't trying to work together, or are splitting the part to say say it now.

I know you wont post this..but

I really really wanted to donate again to Barack Obamas campaign..but…………I will not give my "hard earned" money to a fund that will help Hillary Clinton to pay off more than 20,000,000$ that she is in debt, because she doesnt know when to exit for the good of the party. I work very hard for my money and would gladly give some for a worthy cause..but She is not one of those worthy causes on my "to do " list. Again, I am sorry for the way I honestly feel.

Older White Female Voter…..struggling

As always, cash is king.

Will some of the money some of you gave Obama now go to retire Hillary's bills??????

This is funny.

That's great but i was hoping this would be about florida and michigan. I'm for Obama but I think we need to heal some wounds there, let them have a revote, so many didn't vote, HIllary and Obama supporters alike who thought it wouldn't count. Let them do this the democratic way, have their vote, they didn't want there vote to count early on, well now it's not early on, and lets get this party healed, some things are more important and healing this party, if it means all voice's must be heard, then let it be!

Looks like Clinton's efforts to have someone else pay for her debts has paid off. At least it's the DNC & not Obama. Looks like I won't be contributing to that fund.

WOW!!!!!!!!
THAT WAS QUITE THE THUMPING LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!

I LOVE IT!!!!!!

WHY CAN'T OBAMA WIN THESE STATES?

BECAUSE HE IS A FAKE!!!!!!

GO HILLARY GO!!!!!!!!

Now if we can stay focused on the issues and McCain….

Signing agreements don't mean anything to Clinton..

She signed an agreement not to count MI and FL votes but now that she needs and wants all of them( no matter who they voted for ) she wants to break that signed agreement.

Can't trust a Clinton ever!!

I guess that means they need Obama to fundraise for, because Hillary, nor the DNC are raising money. Everyone ought to thank the Obama supporters we are carrying this thing on our shoulders. My question is, will there be any money left after Hillary finishes running her campaign? How much welfare does she get? Can we say "bail out"?

it's about time they agree to something. Now let's get this party unified!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To heck with unifying the party. Any ticket with Obama on it will not get my vote. Obama is a Democratic disaster waiting to happen.

If not Cinton/McCain in 08!!!!

That is a good agreement

Hillary we love you and support you all the way!!!
We need a Clinton to restore our broken economy

FLA and Michigan must count, they are Americans

Obama can be your VP until he learns how to do the job. He might eventually be ready in the future.

Hillary 08 - Yes you will!!!
Puerto Rico, Florida, Michigan, West Virginia, Kentucky & Oregon for Clinton!!!
Vote Democrat- Vote for Clinton

good news, party unification is key

Wait, does this mean Clinton gets the DNC to pay off her $20 million debt with funds Obama helps to raise? Sounds like rule-bending to me!

So, the bottom line is that the American people are bailing out the multi millionaire who badly handled her campaign funds? Un-freakin-believeable!!!

Is Hillary will pay her own debt, 20 millions dollars?

I have been a republican in the state of Florida. I am 62 years old and well educated. I would change my vote to Hillary in a heart beat. I admire her steadfast personality and what she believes in. She goes right to the heart of the problems that we as a nation are facing. Northwest Florida in my opinion would vote for her. In the past our area has been republican all the way. Not this year! If she were on a independent ticket I would vote for her. I think my views are very prominent in this area of the country. Fred Northwest Florida

Unified ….really ? As well as on a revote for Florida and Michigan…

This should read "HRC turns back on supporters for $20M buyout". We (Obama fans) tried to tell you guys this lady is bad news. Now that you know what she thinks you're worth, come on over to Team Obama and let's take our government back from special interest and crooked politicians!!

Let's ask why Cindy McCain will not release her tax returns. Seems pretty easy for someone to send a check to her account so that John can do a little "special influence" for their company. Why not?? He said he's against special interest, but his campaign is managed by lobbyists. And, Cindy is now selling mutual funds from companies that invested in the Sudan. Hmmmm???

It's funny how John Dean keeps the road to the White House coming back through Hillary Clinton. Dean is just as CNN, aka "Clinton National News."

I don't care if Hillary endorses Obama or campaigns for him, if she's not the nominee I WILL vote for McCain, the lesser of the two evils.

This is wrong. Clinton should shoulder the responsibility of the financial ineptness of her campaign. The mismanagement of funds to the tune of $20,000,000 should not be borne out by the general election DNC funds. We have a race to win. AND, I made substantial donations to Obama that should NOT be used to fund a campaign of Hillary Clinton without my agreement.

I want to know if this helps her get out of debt (READ: pay herself back for the money she wasted, I mean loaned herself trying to steal an election)….

HIllary is preparing to step down. This 'deal' helps her recoup some of the millions she's sunk into her own campaign.

HIllary's quitting.

So does this mean Hillary gets paid back the the money she lent her campaign, even when she loses? I think that is a crazy deal for the Dems to make, as she rips the party apart by staying in far longer than she should have. Go ahead and self destruct the party and pay Hillary for doing it. She really is a schemer and the leadership dumb enough to agree to a deal like this deserves the mess they've allowed.

Looks like Hillary will be paid back some of the loans she made her campaign. Her and Bill are multi-millionaires and should be able to pay their own bills, it was her decision to loan the money to her campaign, she should not be reimbursed.

If the DNC is really interested in getting us back on track, then how a bout stopping ads that are based on 6 month old comments made by Mc Cain and taken out of context.
As a democrat, I'm ashamed of Howie and his cronies and the image they are presenting of our party! You would think they were using Karl Rove as an advisor.

Would this contest bind the two candidates to run together for the general election? Would this pay off Hillary's debt?

We need more details, CNN.

i hope it doesnt benefit witchlarry

I don't think so-Hillary is going independent. she's taking along (me included) her 17 million voters.

This is called C.Y.A……

The DNC has been emailing me for donations to the DNCC and I have responded that I will donate after I see what they do on May 31 regarding Michigan and Florida.

I believe in our society we reward those who follows the rules and punishes or at the very least discourage those who breaks the rules. IF in fact they break the rules to favor Senator Clinton, they can write off my votes forever. I am not committed to a party, I am committed to the Constitution of the United States.

Well, we all know which candidate will have the finances to conribute to the fund, and which one can't : )

OBAMA, 2008!!!

OK…. Chelsea 2012!!!

So…..is this how her 20 mil debt gets paid?
And they trust her to support Obama?
I am curious how she is going to explain 'she has the experience, McCain has the experience, but Obama has a speech!'. That should be tricky.
I personally would just pay her debt, and shake her hand, thank her, wish her well, and hope she goes and becomes a college administrator. She plays way to dirty. I would not want her on my team, I would not be able to trust her, Clintons have never been trust worthy.
Everything that comes out of theirs mouths are lies or stretched truths, spun to their favor. Out of the Karl Rove handbook. I do not like her. Half of America does not like her…and she is WHITE.

senator clinton agreed because she knows she needs help! watch how later she defies these rules. talk of committment to unifying her party. givve me a break!

Good deal

Obama/Clinton 08/ 12
YES WE CAN YES WE WILL

whats the matter dean did you spend all your money buying off the supper delagates for obama i hope you get beat for the whitehouse you need to be replaced your a poor excuise for leaded of the dem. party. VOTE REPUBLICAN they don,t turn there backs on you. HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT.

I will donate a $100 every two weeks until this election is over. The money will start rolling once Obama gets this done on June 3rd.

Howard Dean will be shocked. It will be McCain/Bush top 10 percent verses the Obama's 90 percent of neglected Americans.

Now we are acting like adults.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This equals if you are nice HRC we will pay your debt.

"for the cash-strapped DNC"….

Again - if the dems can't manage their own campaign or party - WHY would we EVER give them the reigns to healthcare????

I wish that I could be more enthusiastic about this move on the part of the front-runner who has raised tons of money for his campaign. I hope this isn't a way to say when the time comes to choose the nominee, oh sorry Barack but we feel that Hillary will have the best chance to win the White House this fall. If I were Barack, that deal would have been brokered after the nominee was chosen. Who knows it may be legit but I have suspicions that he will raise money to pay off Clinton's debts and she will still be the nominee. I have been contributing to Obama's campaign online and this is my queue to cut off my funds until a nominee is chosen.

If paying of Hill's election debt will bring this to an end quicker then I'm all for it. I'll pay anything to get her out of the race!

Dean- you still look as crazy as you did when running for president.

Good for them. As for me, I find Obama to be a "fatally flawed" candidate and, although I've supported Hillary throughout the primaries, I'll shift to McCain if Obama is the nominee.

I'm a Democrat but I have very little in the way of so-called party loyalty. Instead, I support the candidate I believe will be the best person for the job, regardless of party affiliation.

Obama flunked.

I smell a dream team!

Obama don't sign until after you are the nominee.

DNC should fire Howard Dean

hm…..I don't know…Obama better be careful, when it has anything to do with a Clinton it's hard to trust what they do. Obama, you better watch you money….

Does that mean Obama-Clinton ticket?

Well, Howard Dean don't hold your breath. Didn't Hillary sign an agreement not to count (seat ) Flordia and Michigan? Supposedly she was unified on that agreement. Unification is not Clinton's strong point.

Join it up Dems…………about time to unite this party.

In other words the DNC is now realizing they shot themselves in the foot regarding Florida and Michigan. Any appeasement is day late dollar short politicking. Also is it me or does Dean look like a ventriloquist dummy in this picture?

Howard Dean has been the worse leader of the Democratic party in decades. He is the reason the nomination has become a joke.

Yeah and who really wins in this deal—- Hillary of course. She's going to fundraise for the DNC? Her campaign is 20 million in debt, she'll probably take a few for herself, you think?

The black man gets the raw end of the stick again!

This is a joke! Dems are a joke! Why is Hillary signing anything. She can't raise money for own campaign. Does she plan to use her own money?

Good.

Hillary will end up winning the nominee

Democrats, stick together,

Where is HRC going to get money to "shoulder some of their primary and general election expenses"? Pray tell!

Oh, sorry, I forgot about the 109 mil!

Why not get a loan from the Clintons; they seem to have money to burn?

Moreover, the Clintons have been
cashing in on their White House days, and playing both sides of trade deals.

This seems much better than Clinton looking for Obama to pay off her debt. She can always move on and stop the deficit. It's hard to believe the Clinton Campaign when they will also brag about how much money they just received from Donors immediately after a Primary Result.

It is either gonna be Clinton will say she now can't pay her debts coz the danations are not coming to her but going to the party or she will hand over her debts to the party!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!
We now have to pay her debts after all the punishment of listening to her devide the party?

Why would putting a democrat in the White House help with the economy, when they have both promised to raise taxes?? Or, after they pull our troops out of the Middle East, they have to be sent back when Al Quaeda swoops into the vacuum???

Would any of this fund be used to cover Hillary Clinton's campaign debt?

Whats she bringing her debt ?????????????

Democrats unite!!!!!!!!!!! C'mon-

Let's get a Democratic Earthquake going in America. Let's take back the White House and turn it into the Right House.

Let the past, hate, prejudice, etc., go and let's bridge the future!

Watch out….you remember the last time Hillary signed an agreement.

Go Obama

I will sure be donating to this fund.

Enough is Enough.

Democrats 08.

Hillary's on board. We cannot let McCain win!!!

Now that wasn't hard was it? See how easy it can be to work together toward a common goal.

It is time to stand together. Obama=Clinton 95% of the time. This is a fact. If you support either Obama or Clinton you have to support them in the Nov.

AMEN TO THAT.

Hillary can't even raise money for her own campaign — this is a trick to securing financing from Obama's donors to pay down Hillary's debt — I say no way!!!

I would not mind contributing to the DNC, but definitely not to Hillary!!

Looks like Obama is going to lose on this deal!

We're not stupid and the DNC should tell the truth. This is nothing more than a deal between Hillary and the DNC which amounts to getting Obama to pay off Hillary's $20 million debt if she stops slinging mud, but not if she quits. I charge the DNC for not taking responsibility in protecting the democrat party and voters prior to destruction done by Hillary.

ok,but i can't contribute anymore to barack,until sen.clinton concedes the nomination.when obama gains the nomination,i will begin donating again.

LIKE THE IDEA

HI sent you a reply to your email asking for contribution for DNC, my reply to your solicitation was short, "NO HILLARY, NO MONEY FOR THE DNC."

Mr. Dean, you won't get one penny from me. I may be the last woman standing but I have my principles to stand on and your new democratic party violates all those principals. You can pay for your own left wing liberal party from now on. Go ask Barack for his money. He's got lots of oil company friends to get him in the white house.

Ok… , is this a nice way to make Obama pay off Clinton's debt? If this is the case, then I want a refund on my $25 I gave to the Obama camp!!!!!!!!!!

The DNC should explain more openly what the fund is going to accomplish and who can dip into it!

LMAO I wouldn't give the DNC a dime!!! Howard Dean and the DNC has screwed this primary totally.

WE WILL NOT UNITE BEHIND OBAMA!!!!

This is finally good to see, after months of divisive bickering on both sides. Best of luck to the Dems in the upcoming campaign!

Well lets see if this works, all I can say it's about time they make this a joint effort. All this digging for dirt has hurt the party, lets get on the same page and make this about the issues that are important to the people.

Just a question. "Shoulder SOME of their primary and general election expenses". If I am not mistaken, it is a personal decision to run for any office, is it not? Then why should I or anyone else give money to this so someone like Hillary can pay off her way too long and devisive campaign? I will GLADLY give ( and already have) to Mr.Obama's campaign but will not offer up one thin dime to pay for Hillary's
self indulgency.

I'll not contribute money to my party when it is becoming extreme far left every minute.

I hope both campaings will contribute equally to DNC.
And Clintons wouldn't cry that they're already in 20 mill. debt.
Something is suspicious about this.
What are the detailes of this agreement???

This just proves to me that the old DNC isn't getting any donations!!!

Get out Howard Dean and take Obama with you!!!!

WOUDERFUL BALM!

PUHLEASE!

THE DNC ALREADY "SWIFT-BOATED" HILLARY….

THAT ZOONIE HOWARD DEAN COULDN'T RUN F.E.M.A IF HE TRIED.

THE DNC WILL NOT GET 1 RED-CENT OF MY MONEY BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THAT "OBAMA-MONEY"

OREGON
4
HILLARY

Obama and Hillary raising money together?
The V.P. spot?

…and $20 million debt taken care of. Smart move.

Democrats unite behind Obama!!

Any money that Hillary raises has to go towards her mounting debt, the poor people she has schemed during the election and to pay herself back so count her out. Barack however is a totally different story. People believe in him and prove it with their donations.

DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THIS FUND UNTIL A NOMINEE IS CHOSEN!
OTHERWISE MONEY WILL JUST BE USED TO FUND HILLARY's PERSONAL LOAN!

I wont donate to it until after Obama gets the nomination.

I do not want any money I donate to Barack Obama to go to the DNC or Clinton. If it does I will stop giving!!!

My immediate thought is that this joint fund-raising vehicle will be used to pay off HRC's campaign debt. I guess that's o.k. now that Sen. Clinton has taken a much more conciliatory tone. So long as she's saying the right things and instructing her supporters to stick with the Dems instead of going to Sen. McCain, I'm o.k. with it. I just hope that continues. It would be a shame for Obama's supporters to fund the last gasp of the "Clinton kitchen sink".

Excuse me but Hillary is broke and owing $20m. If she can't raise money for her own campaign how the heck is she going to raise any for the DNC? Be careful DNC, Hillary's creditors may come after you to make good what she owes them.

If Howard Dean wants money from Obama he needs to come out with it and stop making it look like Hillary has any fund raising value. Maybe she can call on the appalachia mountaineers, the bitter church going Pennsylvania and Ohio gun lovers and the retired old women who are egging her on to punny up the cash or stop dividing the party.
No way I am donating to anything with Hillary's name on it.

Why does CNN censor Hillary supporter comments?

Unified………..Really ? As well as on a revote for Florida and Michigan

H. Clinton signed this just like she signed the agreement for Michigan and Florida????? Get her out and tell her to get with the D. Party. Give me a break from the wimpy Democratic leaders.

Good move. This paves the way for them to unify and win the White House.

If only the Obama and Hillary supporters can come to an agreement as well . . .

OBAMA 08

Billary don't have any money nor the ability to raise money.

The headlines should read Obama agrees to a joint DNC fund raising

well its obvious Clinton's campaign is broke and in debt so thats why this fund was created

unite the clans! Defeat McBush!

Hillary just wants her $20 mil back.

This is as brilliant an idea as the one about creating "Super Delegates".
This is another step to insulate the party from the people.
Now giving money to a candidate does not even go to the candidate.

Eventually they will need to change their name from Democrat since "the people" are secondary to the "party".

No way we Hillary's supporters will vote for OBAMA. What a silly thought from H. Dean, Nancy Pelosi. Kennedy and other leaders of the DNC to think that after misstreating Senator Clinton during the whole process, showing clear favoritsm, not aasking the media to be fair to both candidates, pressing Clinton to kind of cover Obama's lack of experience and not being vetted, allowing sexism and not steping up against racial issues from Obama's campaing that now we should support Obama.

Obama has not been vetted. Obama is not the different kind of politician he says he is. He has shown that he is an average and vulgar politician, very ambitious that will betrayed his own pastor and friends. WE do not trust him, we do not identify with him.

Senator McCain seems to be a more experienced, honest, with a real record of going bipartisan in so many issues in Congress and will be a much better president for regular and average Americans

This is simply the DNC’s way of exploiting Obama to bail out the heavily indebted Clinton in the wake of her horribly mismanaged campaign.

They will get no more of my money unless Hillary is at the top of the ticket!

Is this a move to refund Hillary her "loans" to her campaign?

Hillary is to blame. The longer she drags it out, the shorter the Democrats' pocket gets. She's put the entire party on hold while we politely wait for her to bow out.

Who's brilliant idea is this?! Howard Dean's? Personally I wouldn't contribute a dime, not as long as hillary is involved.

Democratic BS. She doesn't have money and nobody will support her
anymore (except sick very blue color, only sick). She destroyed herself and continue destroying her daughter (morally) and her husband (physically), they are working too hard for her… for what? She started as a great woman and now she is a witch.

not the point, tell hilary to stop her stupid race card and go home

Go away DNC for not counting the votes in Michigan and Florida.

Nobama. I will be voting against my local elected officials their next terms that endorsed him.

I have been waiting all year to hear news like this. It is so refreshing to see the two candidates working together to help either one get to the White House. Although I support Barack Obama, I can finally give Hillary Clinton her due respect for taking that step.

Who knows maybe an Obama/Clinton ticket?

That is a great idea. The Republivan and their swift bost ads that are coming, be it Obama or Clinton will need to be hammered hard by the Democrats to win back the White House

Good!!! Let the healing begin.

A Hillary Supporter/ Dem Voter

Oh great. Now Billary millionaires get to tap into free money to get a refund on their $10 million they stuck into her failing campaign. That's really choice.

SO THAT IS THE WAY THAT CLINTON GETS TO PAY OF HER DEBTS.

That's right. Democrats UNITE!! A vote for McCain is an uninformed vote. He is not doing anything except making empty promises and distorting the facts. Don't fall for the propaganda!! Unless you're one of the 20% who think this country is moving in the right direction, your vote should be for a Dem. or at the very least, a 3rd party candidate in the fall. John McCain has made it clear that he is willing to pander to Republican Conservatives, and the Republican agenda is NOT in the best interest of this country or the majority (read 90%) of her people.

Hillary can't fund her own campaign, this agreement seems ridiculous. I wonder if Obama's funds will start drying up until its official. It doesn't seem like his supporters are interested in funding a Clinton campaign.

How Hillary can raise money for the DNC? She is already in a big hole with 20 $millions debt…. Come on

Democrats unite!!!!!

Thank you…thank you…thank you…now let's go after McCain and defeat him in November so we can get this country back on track!!!!

Howard Dean What a dimwit Thank god he never n\made president

Agreements do not seem to mean much to Clinton. In the end she will probably try to steal most of the money.

Democrats Unite!!!!

Candidates do not need the party anymore to raise their cash. In the heated Dem race, contributors have donated directly to the candidate rather than the party. This is the preview of the death of the political party system. In the future, candidates will all run as independents, having no need for a party to support them financially, as they market themselves via the internet. They also get their funds via internet. The DNC needs Obama and Clinton's support, not the other way around.

Sounds like the DNC might be getting funds to possibly persuade their upcoming decision on the Florida/Michigan primary dilemmas. Howard Dean should be given the boot.

Yeah, you go democrats - bring all the troops home. Pander, pander, pander. Who on earth do you people think you are? You will not have the single-handed power to bring anyone home. NObamaites, just wait and see if he get in what you all will lose as he is the biggest loser of all!! PANDERER? You got it.

Howard Dean : A true leader. Dont give in to Clinton pressure on Florida-Michigan. Stick to your guns.

48 other states are with you Chairman Dean.

This is a good sign. We need a few more of these.

We are ready to unite the party. Wonderful news.

I'm guessing that this is the politically correct way to say that the funds donated will be used to pay-off Hillary's 20 million dollar debt?

If so, then it serves as an excellent example in understanding the phrase that the "rich just keep getting richer".

I am totally amazed at the level of power that the Clinton's still have controlling the democratic party.

Some people will say that 20 million is a small price to pay to unite the party, but look at who intentially divided it up over the past 5 months.

You can count on my contribution! I can't wait to make my first donation. Go Democrats 08!!!!!

how is clinton going to raise funds kor the dnc when her campain is 20 million in debt ? some thing smells awful fishy. think ill wait awhile before i cut a check to obama and the dnc.

Two points;
1. Mrs. Clinton can't even pay for her own campaign, what makes anyone think she'll contribute to this fund.
2. Just because she signed an agreement, that doesn't mean anything either because her signature is worthless; ie, she put her signature on a Pledge that the MI and FL votes would not count.
3. Need I say more?

If you do not believe that race is playing a part in the democrate race give your head a shake.
Just a Canadian viewer.

No matter who the nominee. Exactly, as long as they're a Democrat. It could be Osama or Obama as long as it's a Democrat. To have the title and the world stage is all that matters to any of the crap mongering liberals. God help us if either of these socialists wins. Neither has done a stinking thing for anyone but themselves. And for those of you living under a rock, Howard Dean is mental.

Now that's what I'm talking about. Hillary and Obama watching each others back! No more free ride McCain.

So they are starting — $20 million — in debt from Clinton??

Thanks Senator!

How can you run a country, when you can't run a campaign?

great
it will work out

Let's face it - it's a "sweetner" to get her out of the race!
I don't why any money should be redirected away from Obama to help out the Clinton's - who have over spent considerably, and who are multi, multi millionaires - it's an insult to the hard working people who donated their hard earned cash to Obama - I wouldn't want one cent of my money to help Clinton!
If the Clinton's backers/supporters want to help out - then let them - let's see just how many blue collar, white hard working American's pay for that!

Notice the line "Obama and the DNC had come to an agreement several weeks ago."

Yes, Obama who has the fundraising capability to do so, has come to the agreement with them while Hillary stayed silent.

Hillary's only agreeing to it now in hopesthat she can borrow from it. After all, her fundraising efforts have been less than fruitful.

So they are starting — $20 million — in debt from Clinton??

Thanks Senator!

How can you run a country, when you can't run a campaign?

See? the coming together has already begun.

Now supproters on both sides can take it down a notch.

Lets have a hug and a cry….

And turn our attentions to defeating the republicans in November

LOL…man this women is good……but thats the Clintons for you…make thngs look like its all good when it really is not. Then once the world knows the truth….. then we the people have to clean it up…..like with the NAFA and voting yes on the war……We are still paying for this and at the same time trying to correct these problem and then here she comes with another big bill $20million that is…to pay of….. another Clinton bill…….and CNN has the balls to say the Dem's O's the Clinton something for all they did….and if you ask me looks like the Clinton O's not only the Dem's but America alot in return……..

What you are really saying is that the Obama campaign and the DNC have reached a fundraising agreement. How is Hillary going to help? Isn't her campaign bankrupt?? I am confused!

thats what i am talking abotu UNITY!!!

How can 'Hillary Clinton' be a help to 'Victory Fund' while she is in 20 million dollars in debt at this moment. She is looking at 'Obama' helping her from primaries fund to bail her out of the deficit.

Her participation to make a success for 'Obama' to white house will be greatly appreciated if she compaigns for general election with 'Obama'.

MORE NEW NEWS FROM: HUFFINGTON POST:

The Obama campaign has announced a "major national endorsement" for a rally tonight at 7pm in Michigan, and the rumor mill is swirling that it is none other than Sen. John Edwards. Time's Mark Halperin is teasing as much at his Web site, with a photo of Edwards and the text, "Ready to choose? Ready to hope?"

Edwards has certainly dropped some hints in recent days. He's chided Hillary Clinton over her comments about race, said he can't figure out how Clinton could ever win the nomination, and even said he planned to endorse the person he voted for in North Carolina's primary, using (it seems) the word "him."

This is a charade to save face for Howard Dean and the Democratic Party before the general election. Money what ?

Barack has this endless pipeline of money coming from some source and it smells. Barack needs money from the DNC like the Americans need another four more years of Bush as President.

Smart move, Howard.

I guess this is the price to be paid for Hillary's exit? A joint account to help retire her debts? Not my dime!

Sounds to me that the small ($10) monthly contribution that I was sending to the Obama campaign is now going to be shared with Hillary, the person I dislike and distrust. I am affraid this plan might cause some Obama donors to think twice before contributing to his efforts.

HILLARY, WE LOVE YOU. KEEP GOING HILLARY
USE WHATEVER IT TAKES TO WIN THE WHITEHOUSE - LIES, RACISM, CHANGE THE RULES, GENDER, WHATEVER.

OBAMA IS UNELECTABLE. HE CAN'T WIN.
SAVE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

HILLARY READY ON DAY 1 TO LIE AND CHEAT.

HILLARY'S COUSIN IS MUGABE- ZIMBABWE - THE ELECTION IS NOT FAIR UNLESS SHE WIN.

HILLARY ALL THE WAY

In general, for many reasons, Howard Dean needs to go. He is a disaster!

what a scam! this was just created to cover the Clintons HUGE DEBT with Obama's huge surplus. Well you know what? People who give their money to Obama are giving to OBAMA, not to Hillary.

This is good for the democratic party unity to take back the white house in Nov.

I'm not a Hillary Clinton supporter in any way, shape or form; but I suspect that her "choking up" this time might have been a reality surprise even to her. Chelsea cannot hide her adoration for her mother when she is in the audience or onstage. It literally shines from her face. So if Hillary doesn't win the nomination, which I hope she doesn't and it appears she won't, she will always have something some parents only dream of or get only from the family pet - unconditional love.

Obama shows he's committed to the party's overall good by agreeing to a joint fundraiser, which will help Hillary pay back some of her campaign debt.

Of course, Hillary supporters will only see this as a 'condescending' act by the arrogant Obama.

"…and to help shoulder some of their primary and general election expenses…"

So this is how the 20MM debt gets paid?

One more step in the closure process……..
