Some reports say that Barack Obama is the only candidate on either side that is not accepting campaign contributions from just any Tom, Dick, or Harry. In some cases, he's
allegedly (see post below) even turning away potential contributors.
Edit: Okay, John Edwards stated it tonight that he and Barack Obama are the only two candidates running for either side that have not accepted money from political action commitees.
It is known that Hillary accepts contributons from anyone, including the Republican Party itself (among her very first major contributors), insurance conglomerates, pharmaceutical companies, defense contractors and the like, and a lot of Dings, Dongs, and Wangs,
i.e., Chinese interests.
Some reports have Hillary Clinton's campaign banking in the neighborhood of $80 million so far. Seems she owes a lot of favors already.
