Rahm Emanuel’s $100,000 Club

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Local and national hedge fund managers and movie industry moguls helped mayoral hopeful Rahm Emanuel collect more than $10 million in a mere three months for his mayoral run.

Twenty-four supporters gave $100,000 or more to the campaign before new limits on contributions kicked in Jan. 1. Now individuals can give only $5,000 each per election cycle, so director Steven Spielberg would not be able to give the $75,000 he donated last year.
You'll want to read this article. Gee, why would Steven Spielberg contribute that much money to a candidate( who used to be Obama's Chief of Staff) in a town he doesn't live in? We think you know the answer.
