Also, campaign contributions are actually greatly overblown when it comes to getting elected.
The book Freakanomics basically shows that greater campaign contributions are an effect of electability... not a cause.
Its not thjat corporations give this guy a bunch of money because they want him to win. They give him a bunch of money because he probably WILL win and they want him on their side.
I mean, if Bill Gates decided tommorrow he wanted to be president and he ran as an independent and decided to spend the bulk of his entire fortune on his election and way outdwarf the other candidates...
do you really think he'd win?
