Public Sticky notes
I don't doubt that at one level, Senator Clinton believes -- like every politician who takes money in a campaign, or every law professor who takes money to testify for some policy or another -- that her judgments are not being influenced by that money. But I also can't believe that she doesn't also understand that at some level, this simply can't be true. A good politician develops a 6th sense about how her actions will play. Some of these reactions we want her to be sensitive to -- that's why this is a democracy. But it impossible to believe that politicians spending 40% to 70% of their time raising funds to get elected don't begin to factor into their decisions a sense about how their decisions will burden their opportunities to raise money. Not that it always trumps. But like water in a basement, it obviously eventually corrodes.
