The AP is reporting this morning that Sen. Hillary Clinton loaned her presidential campaign another $6.4 million dollars in the past month in an effort to stay afloat in the race for the White House.

You may remember a few months back she loaned herself $5 million after it was apparent that Barack Obama was breaking all kinds of fund-raising records and she needed cash on hand to be able to compete in key markets.

Now that the race is all but over, how does she plan on getting that $10.4 million dollars back? Well, there was word during the MSNBC coverage last night that there could possibly be a deal where Barack Obama would assume the debt of her campaign as part of her dropping out of the race. I have seen no reports on that as of yet, but Tim Russert threw the idea out there during coverage last night.

While I do not think that is likely, the chances of it happening are creditable I suppose.

Obama has been able to raise unbelievable amounts of money throughout this campaign and has outspent Clinton in some markets as much as 4-to-1, while Clinton has not been able to raise the money that she really needed in key contests.

I think this is just one more reason that this race will really be over soon. Her campaign says they will go on, but I imagine that the decision to go on much longer will heavily depend on the money that they can raise this week. It will be hard to ask supporters for more money with the current headlines out there that Obama is the presumptive nominee, but we will keep a close eye on what happens.
