I think by law they can't use any campaign money towards the transition, though.
I'm sure there are good reasons why this is true, but it seems really ridiculous that the Obama campaign be more or less legally obligated to throw a giant pizza party and then turn around and ask their supporters for more money.

Yeah, this! And, really, I'm pretty sure most donors aren't actually just giving to the campaign -- they are giving to the hope that their candidate will be elected -- necessitating a transition!
ION, have any NYCistas seen these subway ads?
Yeah, I see them all the time.
Huh - either they're not on my trains or I'm just not paying attention.
Regardless, I'm gonna say I don't like them.
Also, I like them! They confirm for me that I have a good sense of what's what. And I can eat a thousand calories at one meal if I want to!
I look at those calorie ads and think, "They're just sucking all the joy out of life."
Ah, I'm so embittered by the calorie counts on all the chain menus that seeing them on the subway feels more like a fun game...
the calorie counts never bother me. I think they're great. If I'm gonna eat my BK Wednesday, I like the reminder that I should eat nothing but salad and water for the rest of the day. Given the amount taxpayers pay for preventable health problems, I wish more things like this could be done for other issues.
