It simply bogles one's mind, reading about the amount of money spent to "buy" a political office.
The more the people are exposed to commercials about a certain candidate, the more they become influenced by it.
It appears in many ways that it is no longer a matter of electing who's best for the office, but to elect who has more money to change minds.
It sure would be refreshing to see an election with a cap on spending, regardless of where the money comes from.

  Over a year ago, I heard or read an article about the amount of money spent on political campaigns.
  The article was estimating that by the time the 2008 Presidential election was over - for all of the politicians that campaigned for the nomination - that ONE BILLION dollars will have been spent on that election alone.
  It does INDEED boggle the mind ...

    Good to see that Obama won't be contributing to that mind boggling figure.
