14. I've never even heard of "amalgamated bank"

Must be some local NY bank.

And they didn't say the bank was sponsoring her campaign. More likely just where contributions go in and expense checks go out of.

I can assure you that when O'Malley, Chaffee and Sanders get contributions, they don't go under a mattress, and the expense disbursements aren't made in cash, either. They all have to use a bank. Wanna bet Bernie's is in Vermont and O'Malley's in in Maryland and Chaffee's is in Rhode Island?

As an interested undecided, it's depressing to see the word "corporate" used in every second post here. It's exactly like Fox Noise whining about "libbruls." Every campaign write checks, so every campaign uses a bank. Just because Hillary's campaign has a bank they use, it does not mean "corporate sponsorship" by that bank any more than Bernie is getting "corporate sponsorship" from whatever bank his campaign uses in Burlington.

Like you said, we all hope they have a great time. I'm sure the mood will be every bit as upbeat as Bernie's event in Burlington was, and that's fine for a kickoff of a primary contest.
