A Question
Does anyone out there know if Hillary's campaign ended up paying the "Street Money" that is traditionally used to get out the vote in big city PA elections. I believe Obama refused to participate in this particular pay out to the ward leaders on principle. Just wondering if this might have played some small part in the final spread.

1. IS it wrong and would it help her get elected?

2. I'm sure the PA Dem. P. knows the answer.
I sure as hell don't.

3. I heard on the Bill Press show yesterday
that the Obama campaign was the only campaign that DIDn't--that would imply that hers did.

4. Obama refused. Hillary won't say. Probably too afraid of mis-speaking. Text
I posted about it here. Obama refused to pay the $400,000 - $500,000. He did the same thing in SC from what I was told.

5. Thanks for the link Catherina
I knew I had read about it somewhere. Glad to see our guy didn't cave in to the powers that be.
