—They are money, money, money.—

Dan Rather would disagree. Money has a harder hurdle to jump in the internet. A message can go viral virtually, if not literally for free. No amount of money can compete sometimes.

We are living in a different world than in any election in history. Money still talks, but just nowhere near as loud as it once did.

Baloney. You are dreaming. A well run campaign, just like a well-run business, can run a very good marketing and sales campaign on the internet and get much better bang-for-the-buck, no doubt. But you have to remember more money means more bang. Cain (nor any Pub) will be able to come anywhere close to the $1Billion the One will raise, but he better get to $250Million or he is toast. After the primaries in March when their funds are depleted, they will need to raise between $80Million and $100Million per quarter to compete.
