Blankfein Endorses Hillary

I can’t imagine his endorsement will sway many people, but it will mean money:

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Chairman Lloyd Blankfein endorsed Democratic New York Senator Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid, a day after her opponents sought to portray her business support as more of a burden than a blessing.
Blankfein’s backing follows an endorsement in April from Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack, who was one of President George W. Bush’s biggest fund-raisers. Clinton has increased her donations from Wall Street constituents during her time in the Senate, and took in at least $424,545 from the top 10 investment banks in the second quarter for her presidential campaign.
