This is her true experience in fighting the GOP for the past35 years and winning, if you consider not being put in jail for her numerous frauds winning.

By the way, she still has that little matter of a multi million dollar scandal coming up in the Western District federal court yet doesn't she?

Yeah right Hillary.

Since these were supposedly all about getting endorsements, I wonder when
Hillary will be endorsing Barack Obama. (And FWIW, some of the other
recipients have endorsed Hillary.)

I don't see any particular pattern of money going to early states (or even
to Obama supporters). The main pattern is that a lot of these people were
in very tight races (or at least races that were supposed to have been very
tight).

AND MY CONGRESSMAN JOE SESTAK ENDORSED HILLARY hmmm

what a farce hillary is for even daring to bring this up!

I used to live in Watertown NY. I miss the snow up there.

He learnt this trick during his "foreign relation experience" at age 6-10 in Indonesia.

Why doesn't Bill release the documents to show us what a perfect record the Clintons had over campaign donations?
She must be joking.

The most interesting of the donations was one given to Senator Hillary Clinton. A total of $4,200 dollars was given to Hillary Clinton during her last senate race. Given that Hillary transferred $10 million from her senate fund to her presidential fund, it is fair to say that Hillary stood to benefit from the Hopefund.

Many other recipients of funds endorsed Hillary. The fund was created to promote all democratic candidates. The recipients of the funds are a matter of public record. There is nothing to hide here- no scandal, just promotion of the democratic party.

There is the distinct aroma of desperation coming from the ailing Clinton camp.

The new Gallup Poll finds Sen. Hillary Clinton is the ONLY dems presidential candidate with an advantage over both former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Sen. John McCain in head-to-head matchups for the 2008 general election for president. The poll of 897 registered voters nationwide was conducted Nov. 11-14, 2007.

Note however, a new Zogby Interactive survey shows Sen. Hillary Clinton shows a different result. But, Zogby uses a controversial "interactive" methodology and is not based on traditional telephone polling. The interactive poll surveys individuals who take part in online polls. These online polls are useless as one candidate’s supporters can take part in the interactive poll to manipulate the poll results.

Nice try, but no dice.

Think...how many textbooks can the democratic campaign money buy for our kids if it wasn't wasted on advertising?

I have provided numerous comments over time and, until recently, have seen them regularly published. In the past several weeks, however, I have found that the disclaimer that "not all comments" will be posted - stays on the comment for many hours, and then the comment just disappears.

A lot of thought goes into these comments and I would like to know what standards are used to censor or limit them. I would also like to know what percentage of all appropriate comments (because my comments are never immoderate or in bad taste) are not posted.

I have enjoyed participating in CNN's ticker blog, but I do not want to waste my time if it is no longer tailored to be a free flowing platform for political discussion.

Is there some way these questions can be answered for me and all of the other participants who must be experiencing the same frustration?

You and your attack machine's days are numbered Hillary, her shrill attacks are more desperate by the day.

When Obama launched his presidential campaign in January, he stopped raising money for his Hopefund, the political action committee (PAC) he used to raise millions for fellow Democrats in previous campaigns. But in recent months, Obama has handed out more than $180,000 from the nearly dormant PAC to local Democratic groups and candidates in the key early-voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, campaign reports show.

Some of the recipients of Hopefund's largess are state and local politicians who have recently endorsed Obama's presidential bid. Obama's PAC reported giving a $1,000 contribution, for instance, to New Hampshire state Sen. Jacalyn Cilley on July 25, six days before she announced she was endorsing Obama for president. Likewise, state Rep. J. Todd Rutherford, a lawmaker from South Carolina, received a $1,000 contribution from Obama's PAC on Sept. 24, a few months after he endorsed Obama.

Scott Thomas, a Democrat and a former FEC chairman, said "there's probably no doubt" the PAC donations were aimed at increasing support for Obama's presidential race. Kent Cooper, the FEC's retired chief of public disclosure, said the commission, if it chose, could declare that Obama's presidential campaign and PAC were "affiliated," meaning some activities involving the PAC could be declared in-kind contributions to the presidential campaign that would exceed current donation limits. Cooper said. "I can't believe the Obama people can keep a straight face and claim these aren't part of the presidential race."

however, i have be slightly turned off by her straight out negative attacks on obama and other democrats.

obama isn't giving contributions to officials to gain support, i doubt if any of the democratic candidates are doing so.

plus i dont think its strategically beneficial for her to step in these waters since it will just help to bring back the fact that she takes lobbyist money

i do not think she takes them to be like any other corrupt politician, but i do think she takets them because its the only way she can raise money

hillary should dial down the attacks just a noch. its leaving a bad taste. i cant help to notice she looks a little shrill

Scott Thomas, a Democrat and a former FEC chairman, said "there's probably no doubt" the PAC donations were aimed at increasing support for Obama's presidential race. "But in my experience, the commission has not had the stomach to reach out and characterize those kinds of contributions as impermissible," Thomas said.

Kent Cooper, the FEC's retired chief of public disclosure, said the commission, if it chose, could declare that Obama's presidential campaign and PAC were "affiliated," meaning some activities involving the PAC could be declared in-kind contributions to the presidential campaign that would exceed current donation limits.

"At this stage of the race, for a presidential candidate, it is a brazen effort to use every avenue to influence an election," Cooper said. "I can't believe the Obama people can keep a straight face and claim these aren't part of the presidential race."

The bulk of donations from Obama's PAC to state and local candidates this year went to Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. In addition, there were more than $60,000 in donations to national candidates in those same states, including $9,000 for Rep. Paul W. Hodes, the first member of Congress from New Hampshire to endorse Obama earlier this year.

In addition to donating to individuals, Hopefund donated to several key Democratic groups in the battleground states, including $30,000 each to the Iowa House Truman Fund and the Iowa Senate Majority Fund and $15,000 to New Hampshire's Friends of a Democratic Senate.

For Hillary Clinton, of all people, to be bringing up anything with regard to campaign finance is just beyond reason. She's the person who took money from Chinese illegal aliens, from Norman Hu, from the board of Wall Mart.

Here is the most corporate politician in possibly modern day history, part of the duo responsible for bringing us NAFTA and Monica, with a reputation for shading the truth and outright lying with regards to scandal, someone who only a few weeks ago was busted planting questions in the audience of a question and answer in Iowa, now shaking her unsteady finger at Barack Obama?

Obama has been the most transparent politician in recent memory. He disclosed his tax returns and his one earmark, something no other politician has done in the race. He's passed meaningful oversight in ethics in the Senate, the first reform in a generation. His finances have been scrutinized and re scrutinized.

His PAC money was used up BEFORE the Presidential race officially wound up. He doesn't take money from corporate lobbies.

Yet, he's still matching Hillary Clinton for money. Why?

because America trusts Barack Obama, and they haven't trusted the Clinton's for a long time.

That pot is looking blacker every day Mrs. Clinton. Have fun serving the rest of your term in the Senate.

Obama 08!!!

The problem is, by being whollier-than-thou you sort-of put yourself into a pigeon-hole.

I doubt Obama did anything against the law, but I suspect that 68% of his PAC funds DID go to candidates from the early states (for obvious reasons).
