Hillary Isn't Going Anywhere

If you're the betting kind, I wouldn't put any chips down on when Hillary will be leaving. Bloomberg.com puts it into perspective today - and it's always as simple as following the money.

Bottom line - Hilldog has put 16 Million (and that's the figure they've disclosed) of the Clinton fortune in to her being able to put all the White House furniture back the way they like it... and in some cases, actually bring pieces of furniture back to the White House that they've been, er, borrowing?

Anyhow - the best part of the article is that it's all John McCain's fault that she will have to stay in it to get her cash back. At least, until the convention.

Clinton loaned her struggling campaign $11 million in recent months. A little-known provision of a 2002 campaign- finance law cosponsored by McCain prevents candidates who drop out of the race from raising money after the nominating conventions to repay themselves for personal loans.

Should Clinton fail to come up with the funds by the Democratic convention in August, she'll be out the $11 million. If she quits the campaign before then, she may find it hard to get people to keep giving cash just so she can retire her debt.

Before you Republicans and Operation Chaos fans start wringing your hands, all of Hilldog's problems go away if Obama just cuts a check.

$11 million? Cheep!
