Good question. The way I've always understood the difference is that there is a fine line between campaign finance, and an outright bribe. Basically it boils down to the idea of a specific transaction, versus no strings attached. In campaign finance, a donor will simply give the money w/o asking for anything in particular, but with the unsaid understanding that if the candidate wins he will look out for the donor's interests. In a bribe, the donor asks for something specific to be done, and the candidate in turn asks for, or accepts, an actual dollar amount quid pro quo.
Just TOOK the money off the table.........
dumbass!
