Hillary's rich friends offer to pay for second Michigan primary.
Edited on Thu Mar-20-08 10:30 AM by invictus
Hillary's Jersey bagman, former Goldman Sachs CEO Jon Corzine, offered to pony up $12 million for Michigan primary redo. As if that $12 million couldn't be better spent on charity or helping the poor during the current economic crisis.

TRENTON, N.J. - New Jersey Gov. Jon S. Corzine is confident the $12 million he and others have guaranteed for a new Michigan Democratic Party primary can easily be raised over the Internet.

Corzine is among 10 people promising the money will be there should Michigan move forward with a new Democratic primary.

He said the $12 million should be sufficient to cover the costs of administering a new primary election and any additional costs.

2. It's now a moot issue since the Michigan house killed it
They thought it stunk of a Hillary cabal, so they nixed it.

3. Come On Hillary Supporters - What Does This Tell You - After 7+ Years....
of *Co and the same type of politics? Certainly not that these money men are doing this for altruistic interests.

This is "K Street" meets the HRC Campaign. What do you think they will want from a HRC administration - should she win?

WAKE-UP - it's more of the same. We will get the same people being recycled into government that were there before and we will reach grid-lock faster than you can say - 35 years of experience.

Haven't we had enough of these types of politics? Don't you want Washington to change?

5. Imagine if Obama, or Kerry, or another threat to the system had done this...
They would have been first attacked as agents of the rich, and then (oh yeah) as class traitors.
