The first quarter campaign finance reports have been filed, and the John Edwards presidential campaign did very well in Oklahoma. Okies gave over $220,000 to Edwards, second only to Barak Obama's $300,000 take. Seventy five percent of the $800,000 raised in Oklahoma went to the Democrats. Insiders within the Edwards campaign tell OKPNS that - although the campaign is raising competitive amounts of money, unfortunately, the campaign is burning through that money at an unsustainable clip to be competitive for next year. Instead of hiring grassroots organizers and field staff, campaign insiders say excessive amounts of money are being spent on celebrity hairstylists, hair gels, shampoos, and once a week facial sessions for the Senator. When asked about the expenditures by staff, Edwards purportedly exclaims, "Don't you know I'm the son of a millworker?" A campaign worker who got tired of the abuse and tirades, smuggled out this video of Edwards primping.
