Campaign Alchemy: Candidates Turn Negative Comments into Fundraising Gold

[NYCGirl]

From Arianna Huffington:

There are many explanations as to why Fred Thompson is coming up light in the fundraising department. Here's another one: people aren't saying enough bad things about him.

Welcome to one of the hottest new trends of Campaign 2008: raising money by being insulted. Or, at least, acting like you've been insulted.

A growing number of candidates have adopted the motto, Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words... will allow me to significantly add to my campaign coffers.

Hillary Clinton's campaign is the latest to try to turn a bash into cash.
