...Griffin, as well as Tommy Boggs, the king of Washington lobbyists. In regular contact with lawmakers and their top staffs, members of the President's shadow lobbying enterprise are in a good position to test Clinton's fortunes. Separately, businessman Terry McAuliffe, Clinton's close friend and principal fund raiser, is known to have phoned hundreds of Democratic financial supporters to rally support for the President. They, in turn, are calling in their support to Democratic lawmakers. And it would be hard for lawmakers to miss the implicit message: You want my money? We want your vote. Or at least...

To get such an orbital airbus flying, he founded ShareSpace, a nonprofit company designed to help fund and promote mass-market space travel. ShareSpace's vision for cosmic tourism includes Earth-orbiting ships carrying as many as 100 people and clusters of modules that could act as orbiting hotels.
