The Swamp:

More than $20 million in the hole and finding reluctance among Sen. Barack Obama’s supporters to help retire her campaign debt, Sen. Hillary Clinton urged her backers to help her out by buying a t-shirt.

Not just any t-shirt. A $50 “limited edition” t-shirt, the winner in a contest launched in May when Clinton was still very much an active candidate for the Democratic nomination for the presidency against Obama.

“While the primary race may be over, I think the winning t-shirt — and it won by a landslide — still makes a wonderful statement about everything you and I accomplished in this historic race and our determination to keep fighting for what we believe in,” Clinton wrote supporters in an e-mail today.

“If you contribute $50 today you’ll get a t-shirt with the winning design and continue to help me pay down our campaign debt,” she wrote, thanking “Denitza of Weehawken, New Jersey” for submitting the best of 125,000 entries.

The t-shirts with white lettering are available in a variety of sizes, up to XXXL–appropriate for an oversize campaign debt.

On the black shirts, a white profile of the pants-suited New York senator appears along with words echoing a refrain from her unsuccessful campaign:

“For everyone who’s ever been counted out but refused to be knocked out and for everyone who works hard and never gives up, this one is for you!”

Clinton’s pitch comes after a variety of New York-based news outlets reported that during a joint appearance in Manhattan last night by Obama and Clinton, the Illinois senator was forced to interrupt the event’s closing music and hastily rush back on stage because he forgot to make a pitch to help retire the New York senator’s debt.
