It occurred to me watching the debate tonight that I didn't know if any of the other candidates accepted money from PACs or special interests (either in this campaign or in the past), and if they had, what impact that would have on the credibility of their positions on some of the issues.

If there were connections between special interests and any of the other candidates, wouldn't this be valuable ammunition in a debate, especially if those relationships could be seen as potentially compromising on some of the issues?

Mostly investment banks and defense contractors. This is a good question, I'll do some research.

hit the dropdown to see who funds and how much. (notice ron takes zero money from lobbyists).
