What is the cost of this to the Republic?
When is enough, enough? This is getting ridiculous. The amount of money in contemporary politics sickens me, churns my stomach. What is the cost to our republic of enormous sums of cash floating around? The Pide Piper will come knocking to the Good Senator on January 21st, asking for things. What kinds of I.O.Us will either candidate be on the hook for?
As I mentioned the other day, I am back on the fence in this election. Previously I was firm in my support for Senator McCain, but in recent weeks the campaign’s negativity and attacks, combined with some insane comments from Governnor Palin, turned me off. I sit on the fence, undecided in Virginia, but growing more upset with each passing day with both camps.
Having hauled in a record $208,333 every hour of every day last month — $150 million in all — plus a few more unreported millions so far this month, Barack Obama is worried that he might come up short in the political money war with the John McCain-Sarah Palin ticket.Just to relieve himself of that $150 million before the polls open, Obama will have to spend $12.5 million a day.
