k Street Endorsements, here is the LIst:

[robinlynne]

This is very interesting. Not only is it absolutely clear that Hillary cannot be trusted with our nation, from her endorsements from AT&T/Carlyle Group...

But the only 2 names not on the k street list are......

drum roll.....

Kucinich and Edwards!

Those are the two we can trust.

1. I do like your post,

But here's the problem the them internets. You got a list. Someone else got a list. You give a link and she gives a link. You say that's a lie, and then we watch the two of you fight it out here in yer cybro-space, like crazed word eating wolverines. It ain't pretty boy, I seen it.

I trust Edwards. Simple, I've made the decision. He's the only person, at this point who will change my mind.

And I do agree with your post, by the way.

Now... Let the fun begin!

[robinlynne]

2. But the link is a government link. aint no lefty link. I'm just analyzing the info

and I was thrilled to see that Edwards and Kucinich are not on that list at all. That says something real.

[asdjrocky]

5. People are starting to get IT.

Edwards is the only Progressive running that has a chance to get the nomination.

[mmonk]

3. I do like substantive posts.

Love this one.

[1corona4u]

4. Awe....poor Joe...

He only has 7.... What a criminal he is...

[asdjrocky]

6. I've posted nothing negative here about Joe.

I think he's a pretty good guy. I do think he could do a little more for the Progressive movement sometimes, he is after all, from a blue state. Isn't he?

[gateley]

8. And I think YOU'RE a pretty good guy, too, asdjrocky, but she wasn't saying

you DID post anything negative about Joe. I'm not understanding your post to her -- am I missing something?

Here's an unsolicited opinion - I think you should keep up a photo of you with Edwards -- those were really cool (I'm being sincere, here).

[asdjrocky]

9. I'm really sorry,

Honestly not trying to pick a fight here. Perhaps we have a misunderstanding. First, I don't think I've posted a negative statement about Joe. If so, what was it? I very well could be wrong, but I honestly don't remember having problem with him.

Also, who is the "her" that you speak of?

:hi:

[1corona4u]

10. Oh, I didn't mean that at all...

my post was more of a comment as opposed to how many the "others" have on the list....7 seems not worth mentioning to me. Not that you had anything to do with that. :-)

[asdjrocky]

11. Again,

You folks prove to me you're good people.
:hi:

[1corona4u]

15. Thanks!

[gateley]

13. I thought you were responding to 1corona4u's post -- and I didn't understand

why you thought someone insinuated you'd said something negative about Joe. That's what I was trying to understand - where your post was coming from because I didn't see where anyone said you had. Am I missing something, or just off my rocker? Either possibility is likely. So never mind. :)

BUT -- what about your pics?

[gateley]

7. I have a question about endorsements like these, if anyone can help me understand...

These are individuals with the names of their companies parenthetically included.

Are these contributions on BEHALF of the company? Or just that the person works for that company?

In other words, if I contributed and I worked for Earthlink, would that be included on this list as a k Street contribution since Earthlink is apparently a k Street company?

Thanks.

[1corona4u]

12. I'm not sure....

Here's what it says;

This is a running tabulation of lobbyists who have made
their endorsements public in the 2008 White House contest. Only those
candidates who have received lobbyist endorsements are listed.

[rucky]

16. I would say it's on behalf of the lobbyist for the company.

Earthlink is not exactly a K-Street company, but they probably have an in-house lobbying team.

Also, look at Wexler: That group has members endorsing both Hillary and Obama.

These PR groups - like Ogilvy - are paid whores. They'll lie for anybody who writes them a check, and shmooze with whomever. It doesn't mean they were paid by the candidate to endorse him or her. Most likely, they were hired by a CORPORATION to endorse or "advise" the candidate on certain matters - or the firm is doing it as a way to lure other corporate clients, so show 'em they can have some good graces and influence with the candidate down the road.

This is like going to Vegas in July, and betting on 5 teams to win the Super Bowl - even if you lose 4 of those bets, the one you win should pay good enough odds.

The question is, should the campaigns accept these bets or not? Biden's obviously committed to election reform, but he's not stupid and won't play by a more restrictive set of rules this time around. The point of proposed reform is to make a level playing field - which is not happening this election cycle.

[robinlynne]

18. exactly.

[robinlynne]

17. If you were a lobbyist for earthlink, not if you worked for earthlink. huge difference.

14. Thanks for posting this
