Primary/GE was not the question...neither was debt reduction. Donors couldn't use any returned contribtions for debt reduction if they're max'd out for the primary already.
If HRC, as a federal candidate in the general election (for VP) can spend her GE funds running for VP - this is the question. Legally, they won't be combined, just like Obama's and the DNC's will be separate - but can she spend them if she was a federal candidate in the general election?
