"Unions, firms, other groups will bankroll conventions
Companies, unions, and others trying to influence Washington will be bankrolling much of the Democratic and Republican conventions, a new study reported yesterday.
The Campaign Finance Institute and the Center for Responsive Politics said that more than 170 corporations, unions, and other organizations are expected to host 400 events and put more than $112 million into the conventions - or about $4 of every $5 to put on the shindigs.
There are 141 donors to the host committee in Denver for next week's Democratic gathering, 80 to the host committee in St. Paul for the Republican convention the following week, and 48 that have donated to both, the study found (Boston Globe)."
It's what the gamblers call hedging your bets!
You could call it PLAYING BOTH SIDES!
