However, it depends on how you slice the list of donors. Here is a great article from the WSJ that breaks it down. Apparently, if you limit the list to the top 10 issuers of sub-prime mortgages on different dates, either Clinton or Obama received the most.

The problem that the Clinton Campaign overlooked is that over all, Clinton has received slightly more money from the sub-prime industry with $2.8 million for Clinton and $2.67 million for Obama. On a side note, John McCain only received $1.28 million.

It is almost unbelievable that the Clinton Machine would make such a mistake by trying to point this out. Firstly, they have received more money from sub-prime players than Obama. Do they really still believe that people will just take what Clinton says as the truth without checking it out? In the past this may have been the case, but will the popularity of Obama, the Clintons can no longer rely on the MSM to push the Clinton agenda across the board.

Secondly, with either Obama or Clinton facing McCain in November, this is a gift to McCain as if taking donations from companies that make bad financial decisions is wrong, McCain comes out the best.

This just seems to be another miscalculation by the Clinton Campaign that will hurt them in the end. It will also end up hurting the eventual Dem nominee. Clinton has been accused of being willing to do anything to win and this seems to be the case even if it drags down her party.
