Money comes and goes…

…and where it goes to is just as interesting as where it comes from. Via hotlineblog...

Sen. Hillary Clinton paid her pollster/strategist Mark Penn $277K, Obama reported spending: $106,500 on polling, and Ex-Sen. John Edwards reported spending nothing.

At this point, campaigns aren't really polling the horse race, they're polling message. I guess poor John Edwards is stuck talking to people about the things he things are actually important and proposing solutions he actually believes in.

I think I like that.
