Anyone making book on whether the candidates will take a break on the eve of “Super Tuesday” to actually fulfill their roles in the Senate?

McClatchy reports that Wall Street donates millions to top presidential candidates:

…Democratic candidates Sens. Hillary Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois were the leading recipients of cash from employees of these firms, collecting half the $7.4 million in donations to 15 major presidential candidates.

Through Dec. 31, Clinton had collected more than $2 million in donations from employees of 12 banking firms caught up in the sub-prime mess. She received $373,020 from Morgan Stanley workers, $316,001 from Goldman Sachs employees and nearly $290,000 from Citicorp. workers.

Obama got $1.7 million from the same firms, including $288,835 from Goldman Sachs employees, $242,395 from UBS workers and $226,805 from Lehman Brothers employees…

I’m sure these are just public spirited workers who are hoping that the the government will clean up some of the excesses that led to the subprime meltdown, and has nothing to do with any pending legislation, law suits, criminal investigations, etc. that surround the problem.

It is interesting that the two final candidates for the Democratic Party received half of the donations.

It’s Groundhog Day and some of the militant marmots object to being disturbed.
