    The big problem is the idea in voter's heads that the one who raises and spends the most money deserves to win.

    We ought to just all sell our votes to the highest bidder and pocket a little $$$ personally.

    Isn't the winner the one with the most cash anyway? We might as well get some green for the little man.
    everyone sold their vote to george w bush in 2000. i think everyone got about $300 bucks back. does that sound about right?

    You're right and I think that's a great plan. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. But...the $300 should only go to the people who vote for the winner.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    J --

    We're getting outraised -- a first for a sitting president, if this continues. Not just by the super PACs and outside groups that are pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into misleading ads, but by our opponent and the Republican Party, which just outraised us for the second month in a row.

    We can win a race in which the other side spends more than we do. But not this much more.

    So I need your help. If you believe that regular people should decide elections, then please chip in $3 or more today.

    This isn't about me or the outcome of one election.

    This election will be a test of the model that got us here. We'll learn whether it's still true that a grassroots campaign can elect a president -- whether ordinary Americans are in control of our democracy in the face of massive spending.

    I believe we can do this. When all of us chip in what we can, when we can, we are the most powerful force in politics.

    But today is the day to prove it. Donate now:



    Thank you -- for everything you've done before and everything you're doing now. It matters.

    Barack



    if you all don't mind I have a question, we are down to the final two and I just want your opinions of which is the lesser of two evils..so to speak, politics aside if that's possible..which man do you think has the best heart and interest for our welfare,I'm not asking for a list of mistakes by either man or what their policys are I just want to know who has the best heart and moral interest for our country in your opinions, me personally I'm undecided at this point.

    i Personally think that Barack has the average persons interests more at heart than Mitt Romeny, there are many reasons i feel this is the case but the one most glaring one is their backgrounds, in a race between a community organiser(yes harvard law educated etc but still) versus a CEO type you would have to trust the community organiser to be more interested in the welfare of who he serves.
