FYI, in case no one knows, the way it works - the candidate can pay themselves the rate of salary for the office they’re going after from campaign funds. So Edwards is pocketing a cool $800,000 off this run (two years of presidential salary) - yup, this is why the Mickey Mouse club comes out every election time.
Very interesting . Does this mean that Sharpton, Hillary Clinton Mike Gravel, Bill Richardson, Dennis Kucinich, John Edwards, Joseph Biden, Wesley Clark, et. al. have paid/will pay thmselves $800,000 to run for President? Is it declared as a salary? How can this be legal?
