Reply #74: Early on in the primaries, I was leery.

I was an Edwards supporter originally. I knew that Obama was getting more donations from big companies than any other candidate. But once his online fund-raising campaign kicked into gear, I became more relaxed. Most of Obama's money, in the end, came from 2 million individual donors making small contributions. Once he showed that this fund-raising model could work, I hoped he would abandon those early corporate donors on the grounds that he didn't need them any more.

Guess I was wrong about that. It seems he intends to honor those promises he made to get that initial corporate cash.

That's too bad (for the American people).
