The Corporation Candidate? Campaign Contributions:
Here are the committees who have given to each of the three frontrunners for the Democratic Nomination. (Sorry, I didn't include Lee Mercer, Jr. :D) All following the same links at the Federal Election Committee's website: www.fec.gov

Hillary Clinton: (listed twice with two different addresses):

And here:

http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/can_give/P00003392

John Edwards:

http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/can_give/S0NY00188

Barack Obama:

http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/can_give/P80003338


You can make up your own mind as to which of the three candidates gets the most special interest PAC and Corporate donations.

Thought you might want to know who really runs the government.

1. Can you resend the John Edwards link?
I think that you sent the same HRC link twice. 00188.

Thanks for providing this information.

15. That was an important difference. The moderator should shut this
link down because it provides false information on a critical subject.

12. There's a different list to show that one...
This list is just PACS, Corporations, etc. Individual Contributions are different. Here's that list:

http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/can_ind/S0NY00188

Click on the link "K-O" and then click on "M" and then scroll down a long ways until you find Murdoch, Rupert.

14. I have only been here a short time but I haven't seen anybody
reference the Murdoch support. For me that was the last straw but it doesn't seem to resonant here. Is that because its old news?

16. Murdoch gave to the Kerry Campaign 4 years ago, and
has supported other Democrats. But, with Hillary, he not only gave a donation to her (as well as her opponents), he held a fundraiser in her behalf. Maybe he's hedging his bets?
