Clinton and Obama Raiding Donors Who Backed Bush

Submitted by jack Harrington, Apr 30, 2007 12:01

Simple reality-the conservative donors and supporters of Bush are shifting to the DLC backed candidates-where they find acceptable business oriented candidates. BTW while Nader got some $80 odd thousand dollars from Republican donors, the Democrats garnered over $11 milion from the same Republican sources-how do you account for this? See FEC reports.
