Joining Carville, Begala Helps Erase Clinton Debt

April 20, 2009 | 1:29 PM

Why should James Carville have all the fun? In an email sent today to supporters, Paul Begala also helps Hillary Clinton retire her campaign debt by peddling three donation door prizes. But interestingly, after Carville made a pitch for Clinton over the last couple weeks, the former presidential candidate effectively cleared her debt. With $2.3M outstanding to consulting firm Penn, Schoen and Berland, she reported $2.6M cash on hand at the end of March. It remains to be seen if she'll use that money to pay political advisor Mark Penn's team.

So, readers, why is Begala helping Clinton raise more coin? What money is still outstanding? CNN reports that extra money could be donated to political causes or returned to donors.

Dear Friend,

Imagine yourself walking into an exclusive event in New York accompanied by none other than President Clinton.

Picture yourself in California as part of the live audience of the most hotly anticipated TV finale.

Think about sitting across from James Carville and myself discussing politics in the shadow of our Nation's Capital.

Well you don't have to imagine anymore...you just have to pick. And if it were up to me, I'd pick door number three.

By clicking here and making a contribution of even as low as $5 you could be on your way to one of these three once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. So don't imagine, just click.

Make a $5 contribution today, and you could be on your way to one of these once in a lifetime opportunities!

Your contribution today will mean so much more than just a chance to take part in these fantastic prizes. It will also mean a great deal to our friend, Hillary Clinton.

We've paid off most of Hillary's presidential campaign debt and your gift today will help us get rid of the final bit that remains.

Hillary Clinton has meant so much to me over the years as I know she has to you as well. So when they asked me to take part in this once in a lifetime contest, I was compelled to act. I hope you will be too.

Sincerely,

Paul Begala

P.S. Remember these prizes are only available online and only for a limited time, so please don't delay in acting. Click here to enter today!
