I’ve been asked by a reporter for National Journal whether I’d like to comment a bit on Barack Obama receiving donations from foreigners, which is illegal. I’ll do so tomorrow. For now, here’s MSNBC’s Morning Joe on the questionable donations Obama received from people like “Good Will” and others with obvious fake names, and the Obama campaign’s reluctance to open up the archives and show the public how it received the record breaking amounts it has received thus far.

    Because I didn’t see it elsewhere on this blog. The FEC wants information from McCain regarding people who have donated too much.

    Once again, stories exist for both candidates, but I am reserving judgement because people are going nuts. I made a mistake about Gramm and will be careful now, but I am a bit disappointed by both candidates (Palin is just sad, McCain is worse than Obama but not by much) and I will look at economic common sense, domestic goals and social liberalism instead. Obama wins there.

Link spam, trackback spam, and propaganda spam will be instantly deleted.

(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements. Comments that present objectively false factual information about public figures (i.e. "Obama is a Muslim") or that attack public figures by attacking their families are not welcome.

Questions or challenges to these policies or their application should be directed to the editors by email only.
