If Democrats will cheat fellow democrats out of their votes as they did last night, what are they willing to do with our votes?

Before she became Senator, Hillary got a book advance of $8 million (which was controversial) from one of Rupert Murdoch's companies, possibly Harper Collins, and soon after he left office, Bill got an advance of $10 million. The Obamas are certain to get advances of more than $20 million whenever they agree to write memoirs of their White House years. Up to now, I believe, Michelle has donated her book earnings to causes, but she doesn't have to do that after her husband is out of office. And it's more likely that they will each exceed the sales levels needed to bring in royalties beyond the advances.

Perhaps Obama won't be able to command so much money for speeches after the novelty wears off.....He could barely fill the 20,000 stadium without free passes and bus loads of people bussed in to fill the empty seats. Who knows....he may actually have to find a job and do it, for a change.
