Earlier it was reported that Hillary Clinton won the endorsement of a key black political leader in South Carolina, state Sen. Darrell Jackson.
Then we learn that Clinton’s campaign reached a deal to pay Jackson’s consulting firm $10,000 a month through the 2008 elections – a deal worth more than $200,000.
"Jackson had also been in talks with Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign about endorsing him and entering into a consulting contract for more than $5,000, sources said – raising questions about whether Jackson’s endorsement was bought by a higher bidder,” the New York Post reported.
Jackson is a minister of a large church in Columbia, SC. He acknowledged that he should have revealed his financial dealings with the Clinton campaign when he and fellow state Sen. Robert Ford, who is also African-American, endorsed Clinton!!
How slimey do you think this is? Does reading this make anyone else want to take a shower?
