I think we'll see the current number and viciousness of campaign-ad attacks multiplied ad nauseam in future election cycles, for example. Pouring money into TV ads is self defeating after a while. The big problem is that Companies like GE don't care who gets in from an ideological standpoint, they just want to buy whoever does. "The Senator from Boeing" is a classic example from the old days. OTOH, "single issue" people like Labor Unions will be helped by this.
