When you are a candidate for political office, the most important objective - within limits (see: Cahill, Timothy P.) - is to win.
That would be the salve for any surprised supporters of Elizabeth Warren after they learned today that she ended up her recent US Senate campaign in debt - despite raising more than any other congressional candidate in the country this election cycle.

This debt will be dispensed in the same way this remarkable candidate took care of Scott Brown. She will raise it from small donors with little to no contribution from PACS as did the former Senator. The campaign literature and robo calls for Scott Brown landed at my doorstep from Crossroads and other Conservative organizations. They spent millions in Massachusetts. So the supposed most popular politician in the US was defeated by building campaign infrastructure from the ground up and amassing an army of volunteers with a door to door effort. Yes there were ads on TV or in the mail but paid directly by the campaign. As a donor I am proud to say it was worth every penny to retire a Senator who was not doing the business the people of this state supported. He is still slow on the uptake of what the Massachusetts electorate expects of its representatives.
Fiscal responsibility...budget acumen...transparency....seems very lacking here and contrary to the campaign mantras. Perhaps Warren is not the best choice for the Banking Committee after all. Campaigns should be required to pay-as-you-go, not run on credit and borrowing in hopes that someone else will bail you out when it's over. Warren and her husband is a millionaires, how much of the debt she incurred are they going to step up to pay?
