Because it’s a horserace…

Who is the candidate of the Lobbyists?

Posted on August 15th, 2007 at 1:42 pm by Phillip McCracken

Harry Reid recalls his prom.Turns out the answer to that question is Hillary Clinton, in a landslide. With 35 Lobbyists endorsing her thus far, Senator Clinton is far and away the most popular candidate for K Street. In fact, it’s more endorsements than any 3 of the 4 Republicans running combined have received.

This list goes like this:

Clinton - 35
McCain - 13
Romney - 12
Obama - 11
Giuliani - 9
Fred Thompson - 8
Joe Biden - 6
Chris Dodd - 3
Bill Richardson - 2

So it would seem the “special interests” have their claws pretty deep into the Democrats.

The link has the names and employers of those offering endorsements.

    Gee - wasn’t it just last week while durung the Democratic debate in Chicago that Obama stated that he wasn’t receiving “any” money from lobbyists?

    Guess Obama’s a flip-flopper!

    […] No word if this weakens her standing with the lobbyists that have thrown their support behind her campaign. […]
