From my understanding most of the money goes towards 30-second television commercials, so it really only feeds a part of the economy that really doesn’t need anymore money =/

Hey Geoff, I’ve been appalled about the cost of American political campaigns for years, this one is just beyond words.

AS a European I’m just fascinated by the cost of this campaigning. Still, I guess it feeds the economy…

Thanks for pointing that out! Here’s the link if anyone else is interested to read it http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/14/us/politics/14dems.html?ref=todayspaper

I thought it was interesting that Hillary brought up Byrd in her victory speech. She said she sat down with him that morning and told him all about her campaigning in West Virginia and he had a big smile on his face. Aww, how cute.

TT-Yup, that’s a little known fact. I forgot that until recently actually.

link-racist towards whites? Not sure about that since I am white and have previously always voted for white candidates. Except this year because I feel Obama is the best candidate. I think there is a problem that Clinton looks like she will win WV by 40 points. That’s WAY off the national average where Obama leads by 4.

Byrd is higher in the succession than the senate majority leader? That’s a piece of information I didn’t know…
