Is the Daley appointment a result of Citizens United...

[moondust]

and the need to raise boatloads of cash now to run for office?

1. Money is a good start but there's also the newly negotiated Korean trade agreement. Daley was the

major force behind NAFTA and now he's been rehired for Korea. We will see more jobs lost and plants closed but the rich will get richer and be able to finance the political campaigns while the voters get shafted, again.

2. Partly.

The reason he is being hired is 2012 and his experience running the Gore campaign.
