Hillary gets money primarily from Lib special interest groups

Obama gets money primarily from individual donors

Romney is actually funding most of his campaign from his own pockets, he has done a very poor job (a quarter of what Hillary & Obama and less than half of Rudi) in collecting donations

VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know who will likely win.
