The idealist in me is really uncomfortable about this. I believe that the wealthy have always bought and sold elections, so maybe someone flaunting it so blatantly like this is a good thing for our political system. Nonetheless, I don't think it's healthy for democracy to have ridiculously wealthy individuals influencing our electoral process this strongly.
The pragmatist in me says that the Republicans have strong and dubious financial backing themselves, and why not stoop to the level everyone expects politicians and their financial backers to stoop to and play by the rules of the game?
Argh...torn...get rid of Bush...but this way? Argh....must ponder...
