Lazio's Governor campaign has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars
from Wall Street insiders, including $30K from Lewis Ranieri,
a man some blame for our current economic crisis due to his role in securitizing mortgages.

of Elections Campaign Finance Reports.
It really fits. Lazio is a bailed out banker with a $1.3 millon bonus. He really is Wall Street's candidate for Governor.
