      Hillary Raises Big Money for Obama

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton has raised more than $8 million since July for Barack Obama, USA Today reports, and has hit 40 Obama campaign events in the past 2 months. She’ll headline two more Obama fundraisers this month, plus 11 events for other Democratic candidates. But while she’s raising money for others, her own campaign still owes $9 million to various vendors. More »

      Why the Rift Isn't Healing

      (Newser) - A little more than a month after the joint rally in Unity, NH, the Obama-Clinton relationship is still chilly, writes Howard Fineman, who faults both sides for letting their continuing squabble turn what should be a slam-dunk election year for the Democrats into a squeaker. For someone who’s running partly on the claim that his knack for diplomacy will heal the world, Obama has done surprisingly little to reach out to his former rivals. More »

      Clinton Lends Campaign $1M as Debts Mount

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton lent her suspended presidential campaign an additional $1 million at the end of last month, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission. The newest self-loan—the New York senator has now lent herself $13.2 million—underscores how much difficulty she is facing in retiring her mountain of debt.

      Obama Backers Cool to Clinton Debt Relief

      (Newser) - Supporters of Barack Obama have yet to ante up any substantial sums to help retire the record-breaking debt Hillary Clinton accrued during her failed campaign, the New York Times reports. Many Obama backers scoff at the idea of writing a check for an opponent so eager to disparage their man, while others only want their money used to help beat John McCain. More »

      Barack Writes Campaign Check to Hillary

      (Newser) - Barack Obama made a personal $4,600 donation to Hillary Clinton's campaign—a gesture to win over her supporters as the Democratic party tries to unify following the divisive campaign for the nomination. Obama told a meeting of 200 top Clinton fundraisers he's encouraging his donors to help pay off Clinton's $20 million campaign debt. "I'm going to need Hillary by my side campaigning during his election, and I'm going to need you," Obama said. More »

The Democratic party is slowly recovering from its bruising primary fight with the aid of Robert Barnett, who brokered book deals for Obama and both Clintons, the New York Times reports. More »

      Campaign Debt? What Campaign Debt?

      (Newser) - Some clever and mostly legal accounting tricks could minimize Clinton's big campaign debt and leave her with cash on hand for king-making or another future campaign, reports Politico. Hillary could reclassify her own loans to the campaign as contributions, ask donors to redirect their cash to her Senate campaign, and take it slow on repaying understanding debtors. More »
