I have a lot of respect for Hillary, but she knew if she continued to stay and campaign (even after it was clear she would lose), that she would contribute to her debt…25 million in debt is highly noticable and she showed stubborness by staying in…she hurt herself AS WELL AS the democratic party…I love her to death but I must say she absolutely deserves the consequences for her actions…IT'S YOUR PARTY FIRST!!! No room for Selfishness!!!

Obama/Sebelius 08′

HA ha. Hillary, you cannot handle money for your own campaign so how did you ever intend on being President? You are a millionaire with all that debt. Good job. I am truly impressed. Your followers would be smart to vote for their best interests and not sulk around for you anymore.

Lynn - The DNC requested the football field, not Obama, get your facts right.

Make sure that you spend that $2300 wisely, you'll wish you had kept if the republicans make it back into office.

I am required to pay off my own debt. She should be required too also.

I find it curious that so many of the posters here are referencing the PUMA movement. It seems like every third poster mentions the PUMAs. Odd.

Just listening to Gloria Borger. OMG, what a "flake", trying to explain away why McCain will not name a VP candidate now, like someone in the McCain campaign would give her some very 'hush hush" information.She is so boring, it makes you want to go to the cartoon stations. Oh, I forgot that's CNN!

A man can live in a cave for 50 years and tell you all there is to know about it, but it's still just a cave. Existence doesn't mean experience.

Well another of my comments went somewhere. It did not even show up on the screen. It was mildly critical of the "chosen one", but that is what is now expected from CNN. Sad, so sad!

I encourage all you Obama idiots to keep on talking trash about Hillary and her supporters. Please keep it going. Your only helping McCain be our next president.

She saw the math would not be possible for her to win months before she decided to get out of the race, and she chose to stay in anyway - asking for money at every speech. All this info was available to everyone. Her supporters chose to invest themselves and their money in her - in spite of the math.

Don't throw good after bad. Keep your money and MOVE ON. But vote on issues rather than personalities. Your ONE VOTE is a hard fought for privilege. Use it for ISSUES rather than personal spite. There are too many people out there hurting - It is TOO IMPORTANT TO MESS THIS ONE UP!

Everyone talks so much trash. I lost my wallet, waiting on my replacement credit cards, and debit card then I will be sending in what I can for Hillary, hopefully this week, Obama I am not sure his supporters feel the don't need Hillary supporters so I am sure he will do fine without me.

Lynn, honestly it is not about liking a candidate personally but about what they can do for this country. You talk about experience, it seems that the experience you are holding on to is in terms of length in office. If it is about what Obama has done in office, I urge you to go to the library of congress and you can see for yourself what this community organizer has been doing in that short time.

I agree there are more serious problems that we are facing, that's why I had to say something about the plane comment. If you notice, I was not bashing Senator Clinton and have the utmost respect for her. The problem is the serious problems we are talking about are the same reason she is supporting Senator Obama.

Unbelievable that she wanted to be POTUS yet ran that kind of financial operation with her campaign. Time for her so called 18 millions supporters to each give her a one dollar. Perhaps that will cover her debt.

Hard for me to contribute to a millionaire and to make things worse a millionaire who is after her own interest first when the odds are clearly against her. Fighting spirit but no back up plan…so much for a president-wanna-be.

Linda 31 - I have been a Hillary supporter since she was First Lady. I have donated to her NY Senate race. This is about the all boys club and some women like Pelosi etc. plus Obama does not have the experience to be President. From a community organizer to President. Really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What about all the experience in between that he does not have. To tell you the truth I don't like either candidate. Even if Hillary was not in the primary. I would be writing this about Obama. About the plane issue who really cares about it. There are more serious problems America is facing.

I don't feel sorry for hillary, but I do feel sorry for the vendors and I think the vendors should take her to court for their monies.

I would really like to know what is going on with the bush administration? all of this is just a smoke screen for them.

The 18 millions supporters will show up at the polls in November to either vote for McCain or write in Hillary. So not voting for the Koolaid man. He's got a whole lot of sugar to pour from is mouth in speeches but not much more nutrition to fix the country's problems. Talk is cheap. NOBAMA!!! PUMA all the way!

Wisconsin July 21st, 2008 7:04 pm ET

We cant forget the most important thing here and thats beating McWar!

______________________________________________________

Wisconsin…you are so right. i have to apologize for my other post…i will donate to Hill's debt in spite of the PUMA people. why? two reasons a) i like the Clintons and most importantly b) John S. Mccain CAN NOT BE PRESIDENT….the caps are for the Texas Dog.
dumpmccain.com (texas trail dog go look for yourself)

Why don't all those disillusioned Clinton voters, all 18 million of them, each pony up a dollar each and then we will not have to spend time writing about this anymore!!! They were so supportive of her in the primary, now they abandon her when she needs your help. We Obama folks don't need you fair weather folks. If you cannot stick with the party, even when your candidate looses, then we don't need you now. Go vote for McCain and see what your lives will be like four years from now under him. I don't want to hear you complaining then. You have your chance now, do something about it and vote Obama, support the Democratic party and contribute to Hillary's debt and move on with your life.

PUMA! He, he, he.

Where are all the Hillary supporters that absolutely loooove her so much? (insert cricket sound) Now that she needs you, you are nowhere in sight. Wow! You guys are all talk. Action speaks louder than words you know.

Wow Texas Trail Dog you are really a work of art, grammar/spelling and all. This Obama supporter will pray for you and I've already gladly sent Sen Clinton a donation.

HRC NEEDS TO PAY THIS DEBT OFF WITH HER OWN MONEY. SHE SHOULD HAVE SUSPENDED HER RUN WEEKS BEFORE SHE ACTUALLY DID. OH WELL CHANEL

What happened to those 18 million Hillary supporters? All they had to do was send one dollar each. Guess they weren't her supporters afterall. Thanks for showing us your business sense Hillary.

Obama '08

IF THE SUPERDELEGATES CHEAT OBAMBA OUT OF THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY, IT WILL CAUSE A RACE WAR. HIILLARY LOST, END OF STORY, OBAMA WILL BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES FO AMERICA.

HOW DID AN INEXPERIENCE SENATOR DEFEAT HILLARY, IT'S NOT BASED ON YEARS YOU HAVE SPEND SERVING, IT'S ALL ABOUT WISDOM AND OBAMA GOT IT.

MCCAIN IS SAYING STUFF THAT OBAMA SAID MANY MONTHS AGO, MORE TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN AND SITTING DOWN SPEAKING WITH FOREIGN LEADERS, HILLARY AND MCCAIN BASED ON THEIR JUDGMENT IS INEXPERIENCE.

YOU THINK THE ECONOMY IS MESSED UP NOW, IMAGING HILLARY BEING PRESIDENT, SHE COULDNT RUN A CAMPAIGN WITH FEW PEOPLE, HOW CAN SHE HELP MILLIONS.

We appreciate Hillary campaigning with us, but my goodness, don't add fuel to the fire it's her debt and she can afford, she just doesn't want to pay for it, Give her an inch and she'll take a mile

Obama will help Clinton.

As a blue collar American, I wouldn't be able to loan myself millions or incur debt in the millions. If Hilliary's supporters are threatening to vote for McCain out of spite instead of issues, then why should the Obama supporters bail out Hilliary when she and Bill earned over $100 million in 7 years — I don't know any blue collar American who can rake in that kind of money.

Also, why is it that under Hilliary's health care plan a person goes to jail for not paying for health care insurance and Hillary failed to pay for health care insurance for her campaign employees and nothing happened to her…are the rules different for Hilliary no matter what?

Wasn't Obama just begging for money last week?

SEE GOD DONT LIKE UGLY THEM 18MILLION CRACKS SHOULD MAKE IT RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

At least Hillary was gracious enough to donate to her own campaign. Obama in a million years will never donate a red cent to the American people.

Has Obama ever given to charity before?

Good thing that Hillary won't be running the U.S. economy!!!

So where oh where have her 18 million supporters gone????
And this is the woman you puma's want to run the country? Sorry but I will take Obama's judgment over hillary's so called experience any day. Obama ran a brilliant campaigne With Honesty, Insperation, and sound policy's.

BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!

BARACK / SEBELIS 08

Frankly, I don't want to talk about Senator Clinton's debt anymore. I could make snide comments about her supporters paying for it, about financial mismanagement, about hypocritcal arrogance gone bad, about people angry at others when they should be focused in the mirror, but frankly, it's not worth it.

Senator Clinton is a good public servant. She ran a race and happened not to win. Happens every year,. Not a big deal. She was fortunate enough to have money to loan herself and supporters and friends that will help her out. Wish I could say the same for the candidates for city council or school board. Wish I could say the same for my neighbors who were foreclosed on.

I say back to current reality and the task at hand.

Lynn, check out McCain's plane before you comment about Obama. Also by supporting McCain, you more or less spit in Senator Clinton's face. I guess you don't listen to your candidate. Oh wait, you do……John McCain.

THE CLINTONS CAN STOP WHINNING ANYTIME ABOUT THIS DEBT. PAY IT AND SHUT UP THEN TAKE THE LOSS OFF YOU TAXES WHICH BY THE WAY THE GENERAL PUBLIC CAN NOT DO.

YOU WILL JUST MAKE MORE MONEY BY PAYING LESS TAXES

Why can't her supporters in WV and KY send her a couple of dollars each?

Puma come one PUMA give up your republican wealth for Hillary !!!

Looks like America is united against McCain and Bush

didn't the clintons make $109m over the last eight or so years? and me, making less than $30 thousand a year, i'm supposed to give her money?
seems to me that she's got enough to pay off her own debt without any help from anyone else. by the way, saw video of a PUMA rally, which was about 10 middle aged women. it was hillariously pathetic.

I am not going to make a comment about Senator Clinton's supporters, only to ask that they help her out. The money that Senator Obama has is due to the support he gets from everyday people.

Shirley - She was my candidate and I am very close to the limit. Then I am sending my money to McCain. Obama is using your money to repaint his campaign plane to take off the American flag and pay for his coronation at the stadium instead of being humble and have it at the Pepsi Center.

The PUMA people are hurting Clinton in many ways. The nasty comments about Obama "stealing" the election etc. just enrage other Democrats and they refuse to contribute to her campaign. I am an Obama supporter, but I think Sen. Clinton is a smart woman who will be included in the Obama administration and it infuriates me when the nasty bloggers make condecending Obama remarks. Try a little kindness. What goes around comes around.

Glad them PUMA's aren't on Obana's side…with friends like them helping? who'd need an enemy as the saying go. Come on mouths…open your wallets an at least pay the vendors. Losers!

Wow what a chunk of change. I really don't understand how you can have 18 million voters and be so far in debt. I would really like to know if it is because her supporters did not give her donations, or her campaign just didn't manage thier money well.

I have seen some blogs that say she put her country first and that is how come she is in so much debt. Well if no one was asking for help to repay this debt then that would be true. However when you rack up that kind of debt and then ask for help repaying it, that dosn't seem to be putting the country first.

If Obama inheriates this mess of economy and others, he is going to be cleaning up one of the biggest messes in American history. I think he will be brused up pretty badly by the end of his first term and Hillary will run against him in 2012. For that reason, I hope Obama will pick her as VP because it is going to take more than four years to clean up after the Bush mess.

A "secret" $1M to boot?

I would think her 18 million voters could pony up a buck apiece and put this to bed quickly.

Especially the COUGARS, I mean PUMAs that have her back … especially the wealthy Ms. Rothchild.

Please go to hillaryclinton.com. You can purchase a limited edition T-shirt for $50.00 to help defray the Clinton campaign debt. I have alread ordered a couple and hope to order a few more. Obama needs to hurry up decide who he's going to pick for VP so we can start the write-inHRC campaign before the August convention and help pay off her debt before.

Anyone that donates their hard earned money to help Clinton retire her debt is a total moron. She and Bill are worth 100 million dollars.

Superdelagates should come to their senses and NOMINATE HILLARY at the convention and send the Rock Star Obama back to the Senate to learn how to do his day job !

It says a lot about how much questionable money she and Bill have made over the last 7 yrs. that she could lend herself that amt. of money.

WHY ISN'T BILL HOLDING ABOUT 20 FUNDRAISERS TO PAY OFF HER DEBT???????? ISN'T FUNDRAISING ONE OF HIS STRENGTHS???????????????????????????

If each of her 18 million supporters would donate a dollar she would be close to goal. Soooo, what's up?

Will continue to donate every week!!!

I am kind of confused as to why her supporters haven't gotten this paid down yet. It's about much more than Hillary - it's about the small business vendors her campaign owes money to who depend on timely payments to survive. Honestly, I don't personally like Hillary at all, but I'm considering donating to her campaign for this reason alone.

"All fired up and, ready to evolve!" -Apachejew'sFinalNerve

Oh you stupid moron Obama supporters. just how sick can you be calling Hillary negative campaigner. look what you, the media, and you're doing again to McCain. COME HILLARY SUPPORTERS PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOU MOUTH IS AND DONATE TO HILLARY SO SHE WON'T HAVE WORRY ABOUT THE STUPID MORONS OF OBAMA AND HIS SUPPORTERS DOING ONE DARN THING FOR HER. At least she will not be drawing welfare checks for her dampaign debt like Obama is. THOSE SAME WELFARE CHECKS ARE OUR TAXES GOING TO PAVE THE WAY FOR HIM GAINING OFFICE. What a shame, shame, shame. when he gains office watch for his to increase these checks to the porch people so they can sip more wine.

Reading this and all the comments on other articles, like the ones about Obama overseas, I have come to a conclusion …

PUMA needs to be spayed.

Where are all the so called PUMA's. What are you doing to retire Hillary's debt? I love it when they say they are 18million strong. The truth is most of them are republican trolls who could care less about Hillary.

if all of her 18 million supporters would just donate $3.00 that would give her everything she needs and more.

We cant forget the most important thing here and thats beating McWar!

I mean really where are those 18mil supporters she raised 2.7mil and then had to loan herself 1mil where the heck are all of those HILLARY SUPPORTERS!

OBAMA 08/12 YES WE CAN & YES WE WILL!!!!!!

PUMA = Punishment Under McCain Administration

Dawn great point!

the problem is that she did not know when to quit despite the fact that she was losing. She should have cut her loss and run.

She wouldnt have been in debt had the super delegates not drunk the koolaid and stuck with her till the end, but alas she is going to pay her venders don't worry about it. All the Obama supporters laughing now and then the next breath talk about pary unity what a joke..

LYNN,

YOUR BI-WEEKLY DONATION WILL NEVER PAY OFF CLINTON DEBT, STOP SENDING YOUR MONEY AND USE IT FOR YOURSELF. THE CLINTONS HAS A LOT OF PROPERTY, THEY CAN SELL SOME AND PAY OF THEIR DEBTS. WHERE IS HER 18 MILLION SUPPORTERS?

And it will keep growing until next election.. when she will use people's contributions to pay the debt. In this process she will loose the nomination and go into debt again with her sick negative campaigning…
OBAMA will win comfortably in 2008 and 2012 and he is the right choice.
OBAMA (2008 -16)

I am wondering how much of Hillary's debt has been paid down? In other words, what's the balance now? Anyone know?

18 million cracks in the ceiling not pouring down money?

glad that Barack, the more experienced and qualified candidate won. 25 million dollar debt? Are you serious? Can you imagine what our national debt would of grown if someone so inexperienced in handling money became in charge?

I have been an Obama supporter from the outset and we need Clinton for VP. People on both sides are being such babies about this. Clinton and Obama got a combined ~35 million votes in the primary. It is that simple. Not only that they suit each other well (Clinton - National Security, Obama - Economy). People need to grow up, we can't let McCain serve out Bush's 3rd term.

Democratic party needs to help her pay this off and get her COMPLETELY out of the way.

Somehow she'll get all *her* money back (and probably more), but I'm not too sure she'll get around to paying anyone else she owes. I also wouldn't be surprised if the DNC bails her out, in the name of "unity".

What with all the Hillary supporters sending her money, I thought her loan would be paid off by now ?

Oh yea, they didn't send her any.

All they can do is yell about how she was Robbed of winning.

Losers

Actually… I hear since July 4th those crazy old white ladies, also known as PUMAs, have accumulated over $10 million dollars. Enough to erase her debt substantively. This is Clinton's June report. Not her July report. And she doesn't want help on the 13 million she's loaned herself… so that leaves only what? 3 million? It might even be gone by now if they've kept fundraising at this pace.

Please post this CNN.

Why is that Senator Clinton and Bill Clinton has over $ 50 million dollars in the bank why don't they just write a check and stop the stealing and pay your bill please.

I don't leave the store with food and not pay the cashier that stealing.

If I wrote a check that bounce the would have charges against me filed.

If I wrote a check for services render I would have a debtor lean against my property..

I sent you money why didn't you pay your bills???

She has no one to blame, but herself for this mess…….ask your 18 million supporter to help you with it…….

It's a little thing called karma.

maybe PUMA and mcsame could help pay her debt, afterall that is where their votes are going. lol

Perhaps Barack should consider Hillary as his VP. AFTER all her "supporters" pay off her debt.

The PUMAs still have yet to explain how Clinton would've been such a great President for the economy if she's this much in debt.

And frankly, until you PUMAs can explain to me why you aren't contributing more to help her out of debt, then you'll just seem like republicans starting trouble to me. Why not help the woman you fought for? Unless you're really not FOR her, but AGAINST Obama.

To all you gullible enough to follow this mean-spirited movement of pure hate, remember: you could contribute positive dollars to Hillary's debt instead of contributing negative statements to these blogs.

THINK ABOUT IT.

And CNN, THINK about posting this. Please.

PUMA PUMA PUMA ALL Talk no ACTION ….LMAO

And People are saying these people are not republicans in disguise .. LMAO

Democrats 08!!!!!!!!!!

She made her bed and now she has to lay in it.

It will be absolutely shameful and a crime to find out if she were charging interest on that loan.

We are currently undergoing a huge investigation on banks that made 'iffy' loans to unqualified borrowers. Her candidace was LONG over before she pulled out, she was an unqualified borrower, only a moron would lend her something.

Rather ironic that it was she who lent it to herself (perhaps everyone else already knew it was a bad loan destined to certainly fail).

Here comes the bashing…. 3..2..1…

Thank you Hillary for trying to save u, hopefully if Obama wins he will have some place for you. We need ya your witt, and love the fact that you aren't afriad to laugh even if its at your own expense.

This is YOUR debt, Clinton. YOU have to deal with it. That's life. Learn to live it.

Where the heck is PUMA PAC. Please pay off your candidates' debt! Don't you care about Hillary? I'm an Obama supporter and I donated to her campaign!

By the way PUMA, even if you don't vote for Obama, please vote democrat for senate and house. Hillary and Barack both need strong colleagues to work with, regardless of the presidential election.

They call it Dedication…. CNN… When your Country is more valuable to you, than the Enemy on the Horizen…

Yep, late fee's on a $20 million debt must suck.

Amazing!

How come? What did they do that influenced the debt since after she ended her bid for the white house?

Where are Hillary's 18 million supporters? They should be helping her with her debt.

Hill, i got luv for ya but this is a big pill to bite….pheww, that's alot of debt.

On another note I think you would be a great VP and you and Obama will win the election hands down.

Where are her 18 million supporters? Just a buck and a half from each would take care of it.

I will keep on sending my bi-weekly donation.
