Subject: RE: BS: Palin VP McCain choice
NO candidate takes money from oil companies because corporate contributions are illegal!

But Obama, like Clinton and John McCain, has accepted donations from oil and gas company employees — $222,309 in Obama's case from donors from Exxon, Shell, Chevron and others, according to campaign-finance data.
Two oil company CEOs have pledged to raise at least $50,000 each as part of Obama's fundraising team.
