Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign reached a deal to pay a key South Carolina black leader's consulting firm more than $200,000 just days before he agreed to endorse her run for president.....The arrangement involves South Carolina state Sen. Darrell Jackson, a well-connected African-American leader and pastor whose support is coveted by national campaigns.
Jackson confirmed that his public-relations firm struck a deal with Clinton's campaign just days ago for a contract worth up to $10,000 a month through the 2008 elections. Jackson had also been in talks with Sen. Barack Obama's campaign about endorsing him and a consulting contract for more than $5,000, raising questions about whether Jackson's endorsement was bought by a higher bidder.
Jackson acknowledged that his financial dealings with the Clinton camp should have been mentioned on Tuesday, when his support was revealed......But Jackson balked at suggestions that his political support for sale. "It's not about the money - there were some other candidates who offered to double [Clinton's] offer," Jackson told The Post, though he declined to say which candidates. Jackson said he was heavily courted by Obama personally, Edwards, Joe Biden and Bill Richardson. He said he doesn't draw a salary from Sunrise, but gets to drive a company car. Jackson worked for Edwards in 2004, and for Bill Clinton in 1992.

South Carolina black leader's consulting firm more than $200,000
That is not a very high price tag. You'd think he would have sold himself for more than that considering the stakes.

Offering his 'help' is what Jackson does for his mega-million dollar living. Incredible the brazeness of the transactions; these
folks are always confident that the MSM will see it 'their' way. . .
And, of course, they are right - on the money.

When they say its not about the money, it is about the money.
He doesn't draw a salary from the consulting firm and I don't from mine either. I take whatever is left over, but it is no salary.
To: upchuck
Weeeeeelll, well, well. Good to see ol' Rev. Darrell is still down there steppin' and fetchin' for Missa Hillary.
Now my question is, has Jim Clymer--errrrr, Clyburn--picked a side yet? Maybe Osama Obama can get Rep. Clyburn on his side if he promises to come up with the million$ needed for the Bridge to Nowhere out in Lone Star.

Is 15 oz. enough beer to make that believable?
(I can't answer the question, since I've never had any. Beer, that is. Makes me think of spoiled bread.)
