You know, Judy, if you didn't make stuff up, > people might actually believe what you say once in a while. :) Also from the first article: "The ultimate winner often helps the penultimate winner repay debt," said Chris Lehane, a former Clinton White House aide, who is not part of Sen. Clinton's campaign. >From the second article: It's not unusual for a winner to help a vanquished rival retire campaign debts. >From the third article: A winning candidate often offers to do whatever is legal to help a loser pay down debts. >From the fourth article: "It's not atypical for a winning candidate to assist financially in relieving some of the opposing campaign's debt," said Anthony Corrado, a campaign-finance expert at Colby College in Maine who is not affiliated with a campaign. "I would expect Sen. Obama to extend support." I don't know when or why you decided to become a liar, Sal, but you've become a REEEEEEELY REEEEEEEELY STOOOOOOOPID liar.
