Maite,
you need to correct those lobbyist-dollars for years in the Senate and amount of work accomplished. It comes to only twice as much for HC than for BO on time alone.

also, just to get the message out - there really are "good" lobbying groups even though its sounds nuts to say that. Groups that support the publics health, unions who listen to their workers!, etc.

Even if you dont like her, she probably has the political power/ability to get things done including immigration problems. Obama's heart is in the right place, so is Edwards' but I can't risk it. She knows how to fight Republicans on immigration and wages and we need her for that. Even if you dont like her.

As a bonus, we already know what skeletons are in her closet and none of them were bad enough to ruin her. Can't say the same yet of Edwards or Obama. They just haven't been subjected to the same Republican scrutiny that Clinton has - and she came out in tact.
