Buying the nomination?

While getting my fill of the news this morning I saw this little ditty about Hillary Clinton negotiating with the Obama camp on her departure from the race. 

It appears that in her state of denial over the past few months her campaign has gotten itself in debt to the tune of $40million.  Thats after already spending upwards of $200million just to lose.   This includes $11million of her own cash she's loaned to her campaign.  

Of course,  no one wants to lose a hard fought campaign and then end up taking a second job in order to pay everyone off, so what's a candidate to do?

Why, sell her endorsement of course!

I'm sure this isn't illegal or anything, otherwise we wouldn't be finding out about it before it actually happens, but it sure does smack of buying the nomination.   $40 million to stop the attack machine and gather up her supporters....sounds like a deal.  

It just sounds shady.

But that's the mindset of the modern liberal.   She made the decision to keep spending money, when the donations aren't there.  She made the decision to keep running her campaign and zipping around the country, but on credit.  And now that it's obvious (and has been for awhile) that she can't win she wants someone else to bail her out of her financial mess of her own making.

Sounds like alot of legislation.  SOMEONE SAVE ME FROM MYSELF!  has become the cry du jour.

But hey, sell your support to the highest bidder.....lobbyists, take note.  

Note to Sen McCain:   Got a spare $45million to garner nearly half the dem vote?  Might be time for a counter offer and buy yourself a presidency.  It seems to be for sale this year.
