Defense Industry Embraces Democrats, Hillary By Far The Favorite
This is from October....


http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2007/10/17/defense-industry-embraces_n_68927.html


<No other Democrat came near Clinton's totals. Running second to her in the competition for Pentagon contractors' cash was Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn), who raised $13,200, almost all from executives of General Dynamics which has a major submarine building facility in Groton, Conn.

Former Senator John Edwards (D-N. Car.) raised $12,200 and Illinois Senator Barack Obama (D) took in $10,000.

Clinton's major industry benefactors - donors who gave the $4,600 maximum allowed by law -- include Roger A. Crone, Boeing's president of Network and Space Systems; Stanley Roth, Boeing's Vice President for Asia, International Relations, $4,600; Anne Sullivan, a Raytheon attorney; William Lynn, Raytheon's Senior Vice President for Government Relations; and Michele Kang, Northrop Grumman Vice President for health science solutions.>

1. What do you expect...?
After all, Hillary Rove-ham Clinton never met a foreign incursion she didn't like. :puke:

2. Hrm...
Clinton got $52,600. In 2004, Bush got $819,358

That's not much of an embrace - more of an air kiss.

Oh, and John Kerry got >$366k in 2004.
