1. Hillary has ALMOST enough to pay off her debt.

The total doesn't include her personal loans, but cash on hand appears to be enough to wipe out the other obligations.

3. I think that's her GE COH that can't be used.

I read that her debt increased by $3M.

2. I suck @Math

So McCain has roughly 32 million on hand and Obama has roughly 43 million?

5. This seems to break it down

McCain raised $21 million in May and ended the month with $31.6 million in the bank. Of Obama's cash on hand, $10 million is available only for the general election, leaving him with about $33 million to use between now and the party conventions in late summer. Obama reported debts of $304,000; McCain had debts of $1.3 million.


Clinton, who bowed out of the Democratic contest on June 7, reported a $22.5 million debt at the end of May, more than half of which came from personal loans to her presidential campaign. The former first lady lent her campaign nearly $2.2 million during the month, bringing her total personal investment in the campaign to $12.175 million. She had $3.4 million cash on hand left for primary spending. She also had more than $23 million for the general election, money her campaign cannot use to pay off her debts.

First, however, Clinton needs substantial help retiring her debt. Many of her loyal donors have already contributed the maximum to her campaign, so she needs some new sources of money. That's where Obama comes in -- his donors help her out, her donors help him.

"It's far more productive for Obama to have Hillary 100 percent focused and engaged on campaigning and raising money for him in the fall rather than having to do fundraisers at the same time to retire her debt," said Hassan Nemazee, a Clinton national finance chairman.

4. McSame's two biggest debts are to AmEx and VISA. He's running

his campaign on credit cards? Seems like that would be a good way to hide his expenses. Do they have to submit those debts to show where the money was actually spent? A lot of his other debts are to various media outlets...CNN, NBC, CBS, Southwest Publishing, New York Times, etc. Is this for advertising?

6. And Obama's got Bank of America up there.

7. Is McCaint paying a lot of people/organizations to 'raise' money?

A lot of his disbursements seem odd. Big bucks to lots of individuals (?? 'fund raisers' who get most of the money they 'raised' back ??); payments to IRS (what are they selling, that they pay taxes?); . . . Pinnacle List Company ($226,998), RST MARKETING (126,211), SOUTHWEST PUBLISHING (289,624), STACY DAVIS & ASSOCIATES (79,034), STRATEGIC FUNDRAISING INC (316,263), . . .

I'm wondering, how much did McCaint pay to raise his big bucks?
