Talking Points Memo | Wheel of Fortune

Talking Points Memo Wheel of Fortune:

"By our count, BMW raised $400,000 for Fisher during the last election cycle,
but only about $30,000 actually wound up being available for her campaign to
use. The rest was plowed back into paying BMW and its affiliates for raising the
money in the first place. 'They make it seem like each of these people is a
private entity. But as you listen more and more and you get smarter, you realize
they all work together,' Fisher said in the interview with us."


This doesn't sound fair to me, not only to the candidate, but to the people who donated the money. The company has been defended though by people who say this is the nature of this type of fundraising.
