Campaign funding is subject to a myriad of federal law. During the campaign I know the Clintons loaned her campaign 11.3 + million. There was millions in debt left over when she finally dropped out in 2008. Romney had alot of campaign debt, too, from his unsuccessful campaign, he loaned himself like $44 million. That's not unusual. Obama was the unusual one, declining public campaign funding during his Presidential bid.
They are not asking "voters" to pay for the debt, they are asking their political supporters to continue helping them. Political supporters are limited in how much they can donate to candidates - and that includes how much a candidate can use of their own private funds to pay for their own campaign.
