Obama Taps Deep Pockets
From The Wall Street Journal:
Big money is starting to place a big bet on Barack Obama.
While he has trumpeted his broad base of small-dollar Internet donors, recent campaign-finance documents show he is also drawing bigger checks from corporate contributors. Through the first three months of the year, employees of nine major industries -- from communications and defense to transportation and Wall Street -- gave the majority of their donations to the Illinois senator over rival Hillary Clinton.
In 2007, those industries all favored New York Sen. Clinton in the Democratic race . . . .
