Initially, I was definitely against it but I’ve warmed to the idea. With such a close contest and with both of them appealing to different sections of the electorate, I’d rather have her campaigning for him to her supporters than spending her time settling her debt.

Otherwise, Obama would have to spend time and resources reaching out to her supporters who are not yet on board. Big picture is that Obama needs to lock down the democratic base, extend it some, and then reach out to others. If Hillary’s debt is settled, she can work on bringing her half of the base on board while Obama reaches outside the box.

2. I recall telling my friend (Hillary supporter) that I would vote for Mccain if Obama didn’t get the nomination. Truth is, I was just talking nonsense in the heat of the moment. 5 months is long time so my hope is that people are just upset and will have a cool head by November.
