Their debt, their problem. I'm not sure why this is newsworthy except maybe it will impact what they have to spend on the next election.

That is basically it, I am not sure why anyone cares, much like I don't know why anyone would care in 2010 when the RNC had a debt. It happens after an expensive election season and is made up for during the down time and in the beginning of the next election season. Both parties go through this cycle from time to time, especially when they go big to win big elections.

So third party anonymous people are worried their bills aren't going to get paid, big deal. I will bet that come 2014 the DNC will see a surplus and will have paid off all their debt and have more than enough to spend on the next election cycle.

Oh, so some random guy who says he is "close to the DNC" said that on the internet, then it must be true. Again, who cares? Come 2014 they will have a surplus of money that will cover this cost and the next election.

As they should, but that doesn't really mean anything for the DNC because like the RNC, they have a surplus of money coming.

Seems like you invest too much belief with "anonymous insiders."

So what do you forecast is going to happen for the DNC? Are they gonna go bankrupt and be the end of the Democrat party or something?

I notice you are ignoring the fact that the article is saying they can not pay their bills. Owing money and not being able to pay it back are two different things.

That's what happens when you promise to your contributors that you are going to end wars but get us involved in more wars instead.
