1. That is really cool

but the amounts of money are actually obscene.

2. It is obscene, isn't it.

Think about how many people that kind of money could help. Think about the amount of medical coverage or research it would pay for. How many meals would that serve? How many homes would that heat, bridges repaired, waterways cleaned up, or habitats protected or restored?

It is truly disgusting.

3. The amount of money in this campaign has always made me feel dirty and ashamed.

[PatSeg]

4. I tend to think like that

Wasteful spending always offends me when I can think of far better ways to use it.

5. What I want to know is

how did Richardson raise 10m more than Biden?

I must've missed something about Bill.

Agreed - the amount of money is obscene.

Have you posted this out there yet?

6. I never understood the Richardson thing. He got even LESS coverage than

Joe. :shrug:

Yeah, I posted it out there, and I'd actually posted it before. I continue to be amazed by some of the states!
