Should we Care about Financial Contributions...
 

On Presidential Hopefulls?

It's interesting--especially since we now know exactly where a lot of it comes from (thanks to McCain-Feingold). It's just another piece of info showing the direction things may go in in the primaries. Obama kicked ass by almost matching Clinton and by getting so many small and internet contributions. And Edwards did well. Mitt also raked it in, which scares me. I cringe at the thought of an actual mormon in the White House.

I'm not based in the US, so obviously can't comment on the Stateside stuff. As for UK politicians, they'd suck diseased cock if it meant more money for their 'cause'. They're bigger whores than your average porn actor/actress.

but they're not anywhere near as good-looking though, are they?

Nope! Touche, there.

I was surprised that Obama did as good as he did.

But I digress in reading too much into that.
