Donations Make the Convention Happen
In the immortal words of Napoleon Dynamite, "GOD! You guys are IDIOTS!"
The shock of all shockers: Republicans can attract lots of big donations from corporations! The G.O.P. has apparently raised near the record amount for a convention, from contributors like Pfizer, AT&T, and Microsoft, as well an Indian tribe that runs a casino and our own Mayor Bloomberg, who put up a cool $5 million. While the goal is for $64 million, the article states the RNC's number is in the tens of millions and that this will usher in an era of privately-financed conventions, according to campaign experts.
