One thing all have in common. They all have something to gain from the candidates they back. We need real campaign finance reform.

Mighty impressive. We all know who was working hard for Hillary, Diana Wasserman Rubin, and I wish she was still in the race as well. As for heavy hitters what happened to George Platt, he was always dishing money what this $850??? Best of Luck to Obama as second choice to Hillary. j There is a rally in Hollywood on Saturday for Obama and a walk from South Broward High to the circle.
Join in on the fun!!!!
