Clinton in Boca, Palm Beach today

Democratic congressional hopeful Ted Deutch expects to raise more than $100,000 today when former President Bill Clinton drops by St. Andrews Country Club in Boca Raton for a late-afternoon fund-raiser. The event is closed to the press.

Deutch’s campaign says he has already raised more than $800,000 for his special election bid to replace former Democratic Rep. Robert Wexler. Deutch and Ben Graber are competing in a Feb. 2 Democratic primary. The winner runs in an April 13 general election.

Clinton tonight is scheduled to speak at The Breakers to major Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County donors.

Well, $800K!!! Why should we bother having an election then, right? I mean, really, money is mother’s milk in politics, so he who raises the most by selling their soul to special interest groups should win, no?

If you think otherwise, get involved.

I guess this solidifies Deutch as king of the special interests and Obama’s patsy. God help us all.
