Will, how do you propose to get elected without raising money? And how do you propose to raise enough (and regularly, because these things are expensive)? And then once you're in office, how do you propose to meet with people who want to persuade you, especially in areas you don't know much about? Pandering is unavoidable, unless you think your purity is more important than being totally honest, in which case you won't get elected.
