Give unto ROme...

The Obama campaign is going to charge the press for its coverage of his victory slash coronation on the night of November 4th.

Guess what? It's just the beginning. This is the beginning of transformational politics - the transformation of money.

The Obama stunt of using text messaging to announce his choice of Vice President. Did anyone in the press ask how much that stunt cost the Obama campaign? How much it cost each person to receive that message? How many received that message? The total amount of money generated by that event? WHO GOT THE MONEY?

As Mark Felt said, follow the money.

The night that Obama had the private meeting with Senator Clinton, he had the press report to his campaign plane and his staff kept the press there so that his meeting could be private. I never heard, but was the airplane door ever closed or the stairs taken away from the plane? Did anyone in the press demand to be let off and was refused? I hope not, because that would be false imprisonment.

Note to Chris Matthews: that tingling you feel going up your leg? It a hand reaching for your wallet. Just so that you know.
