Dylan Ratigan fails to mention Wall St. hauls for Rmoney 37. mill vs. Obama 4.8 mill

He's ranting about "Auction 2012" and avoiding yesterday's story about Wall Street donations

http://www.slate.com/blogs/trending/2012/06/13/romney_crushing_obama_in_donations_from_wall_street.html

The financial sector has donated a whopping $37.1 million to Republican candidate Mitt Romney so far. The Obama administration’s haul? A measly $4.8 million. Why the giant disparity? According to some donors who gave to the president in 2008, Obama’s policies aren’t fixing the economy. The president’s support of financial regulation legislation and push to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans probably hasn’t helped either.

He's a hater

and Libertarians who so often graced his show. I think his entire trip is about forming a third party to undermine the Democrats.

What if he goes back to Wall St!

I agree it will be interesting to see what he does

and GOP Super Pacs spending 40 million is exactly the same as the unions spending 2 million.
