Obama camp: Clinton not looking for a deal

[sniffa]

Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign rejected suggestions Sunday that Sen. Hillary Clinton is staying in the race in hopes of brokering some kind of agreement with the likely Democratic nominee.

............

Axelrod said Clinton has "competed hard" and is "playing it out as she sees fit. I don't think she's waiting for a cue or a signal from us or an offer of financial assistance. And I think that would demean her to suggest otherwise."

He added, "I don't think even under any scenario ... that we were going to transfer money from the Obama campaign to the Clinton campaign. We obviously need the resources we have. We have a great task ahead of us." He said he believes "there was a misunderstanding out there about that."

Axelrod said he believes Clinton "will have the capacity to retire her debt."

................

Axelrod also denied reports that Obama's wife, Michelle, wants nothing to do with the Clintons, presenting a potential obstacle to what some have called a "dream ticket."

4. Well there we go, that BS about Obama giving Clinton a handout is total bunk

and last week everybody was on here flipping out like crazy as if it had already been done.

5. Not at all. We just asked the campaign to address the concerns

And they have.

9. I think Timmy floated it election night...

and it grew from there. I do not want my donations used to pay off Hillary's debt, and I guess there were others who felt the same way. Obviously it was not done yet, as it was floated as a "Possibility". I guess being offended at the suggestion is "crazy" to some people.
