(30,481 posts)but I do stand firm in my belief that corp money will simply back a winner. Their hope is to gain favor. After Obamas speech in Iowa, corp money began to fill his coffers. I do not think, at that point in time, that corp money didn't want him elected him in any way. At that time, they felt he was a true progressive. Yet they went for him over McCain. They did so because they felt he was going to win and they wanted to gain as much favor as possible. The game is filthy. You know that as I have read many of your posts.
I do think your thoughts are valid. I do think they were doing whatever possible to buy his allegiance. I also think it worked out well for them. I think Obama is and was a progressive. I think that the money he received turned him completely away from progressive economic policies during his time as potus.
