I really think the Clinton's were expecting a "coronation" and weren't prepared for a long nomination process. Poor planning on many levels IMO.

From IndyStar.com: Associated Press Posted: May 23, 2008 BLOOMINGTON, Ind. —Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign has moved on from Indiana, leaving behind $55,000 in unpaid bills for campaign events at Indiana University.

The debts are for appearances made by Clinton, former President Bill Clinton and their daughter, Chelsea, during March and April leading up to Indiana’s May 6 primary.

Barack Obama’s campaign, meanwhile, has already paid the $108,142 it owed IU for two Assembly Hall events—a rally featuring the Illinois senator and an Obama-sponsored concert by Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds.

The university charged the campaigns for sound equipment, security and other needs for their events, but school officials knew there was a risk that the bills would not be paid, IU spokesman Larry MacIntyre said.

“We are very happy that we were able to have both Democratic candidates here,” MacIntyre said. “We feel it was a great thing for the students, and we don’t have any regrets. We’d like to get paid, and certainly we believe that ultimately, we will be paid.”

A message seeking comment was left Friday at Clinton’s campaign headquarters.

In spending reports filed this week, Clinton listed $19.5 million in debts, including $10 million she has lent her campaign.

Clinton and Obama both spend millions of dollars on television ads, campaign offices and staffs and events around Indiana for more than a month before the primary, which Clinton narrowly won.

The Clinton campaign report listed several smaller debts around the state through the end of April, including about $900 to Kim Brand’s company for setting up the computers at Clinton’s state headquarters in downtown Indianapolis. Brand said he was paid after making repeated phone calls to the campaign.

“We didn’t want to let it get too far out because then memories fade, relationships lapse,” he said.

MacIntyre said he was not sure what IU would do to pursue the Clinton debt if the campaign did not pay the bills.

“She owes $20 million. I suspect we’re probably not going to get paid in a timely manner,” MacIntyre said. “But what a great opportunity for students. They had, for free, a chance to be up close and personal with both Senator Obama and Senator Clinton.”

wow. Wonder how she's going to pay it all? I guess it will have to come out of her pocket.

Obama could offer to pay her debts if she'd get out now....

If Obama uses the money donated to him to help her, I think he'll have trouble raising money again in the future.

I didn't donate to him so he could bail out a woman who's made 100 million dollars over the past eight years.

I thought it was illegal for him to do that anyway?

I was actually joking about that.

I think that'd be called a bribe...

I wonder, now that Hillary's colors are showing so much, if there are people saying, "No wonder Bill went looking elsewhere..."

Yikes!

Poor Hilary. I think she was thinking this was going to be a cakewalk to the White House and is shocked, simply unprepared for the resistance she is getting in achieving her goal. It will be interesting to see how long she can keep up at this pace.

I agree and she's just imploding. Friday was her Macaca moment. She thought the road to the WH would be strewn with red roses for her and she'd waltz into the nomination and beat anyone in November. Reality bites.

Oh, so, it's ok for a husband to cheat on his wife if she's a harpie/nag/B*tch?


Frankly, I agree w/ usnamom. This isn't or hasn't been the cakewalk the Hillary camp thought it would be...

I don't care for some of the things she's said and done during the campaign, but I've never connected that to "Bill looking elsewhere".
I'd still vote for her if she were the Democratic nominee.

I, too, believe that she thought this would be a cakewalk, thus did not prepare monetarily.

Didn't Romney loan himself about 35-40 million?

Personally, I think after all is said and done, the Clintons will be just fine financially.

Actually, no, it's not, but I can see how the argument could be made. Many people who supported him wholeheartedly don't seem to support her much at all, and that's interesting because you hear people refer to the years of his presidency fondly... and yet I'm not hearing much coming out of *her* mouth that wasn't part of *his* agenda, as well... yet when it's *her* wanting to be in charge of doing those same things, she gets the cold shoulder from the public.

So it must be a personality issue with her, huh?
