So, Hillary can change Washington? (35% of Hillary's money in Feb came from Washington!)
Edited on Sat Mar-22-08 10:01 PM by TAWS
Check out this statistic from the March filing reports from the FEC for Obama and Clinton


Money Raised in February from donors in Washington D.C:

Clinton - $12,744,291.49
Obama - $1,012,122.80


That's right, Hillary received 13 times more money than Obama from DC insiders despite the fact that he raised $20 million more dollars than her in Feburary. Of her total receipts of $36 million for February, 35% of that money came from donors in Washington DC.

1. She's not the "hope and change" candidate remember?
She's the "solutions and experience" candidate.

13. It is GREAT to have THEM ALL rounded up in one place within the beltway.
HUGE regulations are needed to keep THESE common criminals of corporate america and corporate world in check. I would support corporate lobbyist internment camps.

10. Follow the Money
Clinton is the STATUS QUO.

It's time for change.
It's time for hope.
It's time to recognize we are more.
