There has been a lot of gnashing of teeth over Obama paying down Hillary's debt out of our donations to his campaign. As we know this is not a new idea and in fact it has happened many time before so it has some historical precedent. However, we also know that this campaign has broken all the historical paradigms for funding and running a campaign.
So is there a possible solution that is a win win? I think there is.
Here's the idea. The Obama campaign sets up a separate donation page on their web site for the sole purpose of paying down Hillay's debt. By doing this those Obama supporters can either select to donate a certain amount out of the funds they have already donated to go to Hillary's debt or donate new money. Also the Clinton Campaign can put a link on their site to the Obama page so that Clinton supporters may also donate.
I think this accomplishes two things. Obama supporters who have no problem with donating to monies if it gets Hillary off the stage can do so. Next, it starts to get Hillary's supporters involved in the Obama campaign in a positive way.
One caveat - I have absolutely no idea if this is even possible under FEC, IRS etc rules.
