How Will the Humiliation Ritual End?

There's been a lot of chatter lately about how/if Clinton will exit the primary race. Like many others, I'm of the opinion that she will not be quitting anytime soon. Which means the real question has become: What does she want?

One thing I've heard multiple times now is that Obama may end up remunerating some of her campaign debt:

Senator Barack Obama said today that he would not rule out the possibility of helping Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton retire her campaign debt to bring her into the fold and unify Democrats. But he said no discussions have taken place yet.
Speaking as an Obama donor, the thought of actually having to pay for Clinton's embarrassing red phone and gas tax ads is more than grating. Here I was thinking that I was having my intelligence insulted for free. And now, I may have to pay for the privilege? Spending my hard-earned tax money to be regularly shamed on a national scale is one of the things I liked least about the Bush administration. No more years!

Honestly, I don't know how/if this campaign is going to end. But like any good Stockholm syndrome victim, I'm sure I'll grow to love my captor again soon.
