NYT
John Edwards ended 2004 with a problem: how to keep alive his public profile without the benefit of a presidential campaign that could finance his travels and pay for his political staff.

I wonder WHO gave the $250,000 donation? Does anyone other than me think it was either Soros or some rich Arab?
If it was some rich libbie hedge fund guy then fine, at least he's an American who has a RIGHT to affect our elections.
Bill Clinton has been on the payroll of some ME oil sheiks for YEARS now, how much do you wanna bet that some of those millions end up in Hillary's coffers?
There are a myriad of asinine campaign finance laws that need to be eliminated, but one in particular needs to be ENFORCED! We have to somehow get a grip on the influence of foreign money on American politics. Hillary's war chest (no breast plates) will be fat with Arab cash. Mark my words.
