"buying an election"

1) There is no proof that money alone is enough in a presidential election. You must have something else--even if it's despicable propaganda--as it was in 2004.

If you disagree, please tell me exactly which presidential election was bought and exactly how.

And there are plenty of examples of huge amounts of money which did not get the donor anywhere---as for example Romney this year.

2) If McCain could raise anywhere near the amount Obama has from small donors, and the--unprecedented-- number of them--including quite a few who have never given to a campaign before--you might start to have an argument.


As it is, your attitude is perfect sour grapes.
