That is a good point, but I do think it is crazy that the candidates will have to raise that much of money to be able to compete. Seems a little much. Makes Palin's $150k on clothes seem like a drop in the bucket. Actually, a 0.00021% drop in the bucket.
Anyone think their should be a cap on the amount a candidate can spend?
