Powerclown,
Ms. Kerry would catch tons of shit if she gave boatloads of money to moveon.org, witness the crucifixion of Mr. Soros, but you are right in that the money is much closer this election than is was with Gore (must be the fear factor). Regardless of that, let's not pretend that money isn't a primary concern in american politics. In fact, the high cost of elections (primarily due to TV advertising costs) has helped to transform both parties into fund raising whores.
Ustwo,
I'd like to see some facts to back up that statement. As an occasional third party organizer, I feel that both parties are irrefutably hooked on big dollars. It takes an awful lot of $20 donations to raise over $200 million. Can we look beyond party propganda here?
