Santorum with his K Street Project involvement is right up there.

As is Newt with his Center for Health Transformation which lobbied for Medicare Part D and Obamacare.

Theyre all equally for sale TBH except of-course for...

I'd make a $10000 bet that $750 won't even be enough to buy cherry soda in 3 years

(If I win, then 10,000 is something of value....if you win, that means 10,000 is like 25 bucks of today's money....I win either way!)

It is just measured by how much money they took. Santorum's 'current persona' can't take that much. But his historic persona took more from lobbyists his last year in office than anyone in Congress as I understand it

It was probably sleight of hand: "Look everybody! Ron Paul takes lobby money just like everyone else. Wink wink"

That's exactly what I was thinking.
