This new fund raising plan from Mitt Romney’s campaign is drawing criticism from some quarters.  Basically it’s a program by which grassroots fund raisers for Romney’s campaign get to keep 10% of what the raise.  Which sounds like a fine, common sense way to raise money.  You give incentive to volunteers to get out there and raise lots of cash while probably saving some money on salaries that would have been paid to full-time, professional fund raisers.

Pretty innovative, I think.  But not everybody is happy about it.

It’s funny, though, that a little bit of controversy would erupt around Romney’s new approach to fund raising even as Hillary buys off Tom Vilsack’s endorsement for her campaign for a cool $400,000.

And this after purchasing no fewer than three endorsements from southern black “leaders” in exchange for cushy contracts between their PR firm and Hill’s campaign.

We often hear about politicians buying their way into office, but I think Hillary Clinton may be the first candidate I’ve ever observed to purchase her political endorsements right out in the open.
