Would Obama be Just as Popular if He Raised Only Half The $$ of Clinton?? Vice Versa?? [View All]

[Blackhatjack]

I continue to be amazed how people equate overall popularity of a candidate with the amount of $$ their campaign is able to raise.

While there is a connection between popularity and the desire of supporters to give their campaigns money, it is easily distorted by the giving of large sums of money by rich and powerful special interest groups.

If you like your candidate and want to confirm that your candidate is liked best by the voting populace, you should not rely upon $$ raised as the support for your argument.

We all know how 'K Street' got behind the present Repub Administration and distorted the outcome of those elections.

Let's debate issues and characteristics in deciding who should be the party nominee, not how much money they raised. If we continue to keep score in terms of money raised we are sure to maintain an election process that is subject to the influence of special interests groups to the detriment of the AMerican people.
