With all the states rushing to earlier primaries, the ultimate result will be based on money - only those candidates who can raise vast amounts of money before January stand a chance to win. Hillary, more than any other candidate, is thrilled by this prospect. Because all the primaries will be bunched into a short time frame, Hillary will not have to rely on personal appearances, which is her greatest weakness and saturate the airwaves with her highly orchestrated and expensive commercials.

Wonder how much he rents out his pulpit for to politicians on the campaign trail.

Given the problemmatic relationship with some black churches and democratic politicians forever giving political speeches from the pulpits, it is a question worth asking. (Not to mention the Tax status issue for those churches).

I doubt that there is another candidate whose campaign could afford double what the beast offered.

Sadly, the NY Post will not be shocked enough to stop panting after Her Heinous.

LOL. I read your mind :)

1) I wouldn't thought Posties were so easily shocked.

2) I wonder where the money came from exactly and if this was a legal use.

Two S.C. black leaders back Clinton

Hows about Ford? Did Hillie pay him off, too?

This is a standard practice in the urban South. Democrats have to pay for endorsements. They usually pay entities created by "leaders" who are usually religious figures.

Republicans usually are not even offered a chance.

Reminds me of someone... what was that name? Oh, yeah.

Armstrong Williams is “the premiere Black political whore in America,” wrote Black Commentator Co-Publishers Glen Ford and Peter Gamble in our December 12, 2002 issue. In the interest of full disclosure, we revealed our particular grievance: that Williams had hopelessly polluted America’s Black Forum (ABF), the first nationally syndicated Black news interview program on commercial television, created by Ford and Gamble in 1977. “Since the mid-Nineties,” we wrote, “ABF has devolved into a menagerie of professional Black propagandists in service of the most vicious elements of the Republican Party. It is a bizarre experience.”

I believe in the hood, this is called a sellout.

Or a score.
