Is it normal for losing candidate to expect winner to bail them out of debt?
The Clintons expect Obama to help them pay their 20 million dollar debt from campaigning. Is this normal? Did the republicans do that? Did McCain campaign to pay off Mitt Romney's debt?
I think it odd, perhaps quite "bold" for the Clintons to expect Obama to help them out. Has this action happened before in previous elections?

Yes, though Senator Clinton's debt is unprecedented. Generally the defeated candidate agrees to campaign actively for the nominee during the general election and help raise funds for the winner's campaign, part of which will later be used to pay off their debt.
I know Reagan did this and it is fairly common, but as I said there has never been a candidate with so much debt before.

It has been done before, but nobody has ever gone in the hole as much as Hillary. Oh maybe Bill, but that is something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
