This caught my eye. Here is a woman who cannot even effectively manage her own campaign finances and resorts to digging into her own bank account to stay in the race, much like Bush, whose friends and family were continually bailing him out of bad business ventures long before he got into office. Do we actually expect people like this to suddenly get an "A" in business and finance when they get into office?


There may be more to it than HRC ignoring the math and continuing her campaign:

$10 million is no small amount of coin, even for high rollers. That's led many in political circles to speculate that the money issue has Clinton carefully considering her options. Fundraising is tough; fundraising for a perceived loser is even tougher. How will the candidate pay off her debt? The best shot, paradoxically, is seeking the help of her chief rival. It's more than probable that she and Obama could work out a deal: She gets out of the race, saving him the millions he would spend in the remaining primaries, and he would help put her campaign back in the black. That could be accomplished by headlining fundraisers for her, and leaning on his donors to cut her a check. "It would be a matter of mending fences," says Scott Thomas, another former FEC chairman. "If his campaign fundraisers are able to help her retire her debt, she's in a much more comfortable position and would be far better disposed (to help him in the general election)." Adds Toner: "That's very common, particularly when you're trying to join ranks to help your defeated colleagues."
