Clinton faces deadline for loan repayment
An obscure provision of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law means Hillary Clinton has until the convention to recoup what she's lent her campaign.
Alex Koppelman [2008-05-12]

  • According to TPM the max amount the Obama campaign could give is $2,000

    The Obama campaign can only give the Clinton campaign $2000, not even the $2300 permitted by individuals.

    So why keep raising this issue, especially since it's obvious that the people who support Obama do not support Clinton's Quixotic candidacy and would not want their money diverted to her? Perhaps it's a purposeful strategy by the Clinton camp (not that they ever circulate rumors), a way to try to slow down the Obama fundraising juggernaut, to make people think twice before giving him another $25 or $50?
