What happens with Obama's left over funds? Do they go back into DNC coffers?

[Happyhippychick]

Anybody?

I'm hoping that they'll be several million left over to help out in 2010 with the House and Senate races. Is this a reality?

1. I suppose he can

save it for his re-election bid.

2. That's what Kerry did with his

Obama keeps the money and decides where it goes. Kerry gave a bunch to the DNC which helped fund the 50 state strategy. And I think a million to the 2006 races. I don't remember what all. But Obama can do the same in 2010. We're in good shape for a while.

3. I was wondering who funds transition-team work - goodness knows

there's a lot to gear up to do in January.

5. I think the government provides funds for the transition

Obama's campaign keeps the money. He can fund other campaigns and save it for his 2012 re-election.

But a nationwide pizza party for Obama supporters would be nice. :silly:

6. I hope he spends every dime in a full frontal advertising assault!

[Thrill]

7. Hopefully he spends it on this election. Why doesn't he have more hard hitting ads out??

[endarkenment]

9. The only thing they should have left over is a bankroll for legal challenges.

I am assuming that they are going to spend everything else that they have. Why not?

[Parker CA]

11. Yes. Anything leftover should be directed to combat election fraud if it occurs. Otherwise, pie.

[WeDidIt]

12. There's a lot he can do with it.

DNC,

Form a PAC,

lot's of stuff.

in a style to which they have become accustomed, about $150,000 each!

14. He should blow it all on

paying Van Halen to perform at his inauguration.
