I can't cancel out his money, but I cancel out his vote. When it comes to choice between getting more money or more votes, I'd choose the votes.

You're absolutely right - you can cancel out Bill Gates' vote.

However, a photo of a candidate at a dinner with Bill Gates, or a small article in a newspaper or on the evening news about Bill Gates contributing to a candiate, will cancel out your vote and money 100s and 1000s of times over.

Nobody is going to put a picture in the paper of you shaking a candidates' hand or having dinner with them, or at a rally, unless it's your neighborhood newsletter and you happen to be editor-in-chief.

It's sad, but true, that in this country money does matter more.

Not in the voting booth, the guy who gets the most wins (excepting King County), doesn't matter if the other guy raised more money. If the GOP has this mentality it will bite them in the butt.
