Hillary concedes victory to Obama in dash for cash :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Lynn Sweet

This kind of money just for a campaign to elect a president is sickening!

How can we possibly trust any politician who has this kind of campaign cash. There not getting it from the starved middle-class or the working poor, that's for damn sure.

Just for once, Democrats should vote in the primaries for the guy with the least money who has a chance of winning in the general election and, right now, that is any of the top three Dems, unless someone can think of a better way of starting some kind of movement to get the damnable money out of politics.

The stench of corruption in the capitol is worse than a thousand dead skunks in the middle of the road, and we all know what corrupts it.


Hillary concedes victory to Obama in dash for cash :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Lynn Sweet:

WASHINGTON -- With the second quarter closing on Saturday, Hillary Clinton campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson said in a memo the campaign expects to take in at least $27 million, conceding that Barack Obama will be collecting 'significantly' more in April, May and June.

The Clinton campaign did not break down how much of that $27 million was for the primary and how much was given for the general election contest.

The only figure that counts politically is money raised for the primary election. Obama's second quarter haul, according to estimates of knowledgeable observers, could reach $30 million -- most raised for the primary.
