I am equally repulsed by all the money in politics. I don't write checks to anyone for that reason. Obama and Clinton have raised around $200 million each, or more. Campaigns should not have that kind of price tag. It's another good argument for four regional primaries a few weeks apart, instead of pouring tens of millions into one or two states with symbolic value.

RDW; and is it just me, or is anyone else shocked, nay horrified, on what is spent on campaigning and elections? No, it's not just you - McCain is horrified too.<smile> steve
