By your logic nobody should vote because individual voting doesn't win elections.

You are being either naive or obtuse if you deny that money influences elections in a very significant way.

I never said that money doesn't have the potential to influence elections. I did say that people have the power and the individual responsibility to overcome the influence of money on elections.

It's conservatism 101, really.

My guess is you're being obtuse.

Max Baucus' humungous political warchest (to the tune of around $16 million) hasn't persuaded me to vote for him. Conrad Burns' humungous political warchest hasn't persuaded me to vote for him either. Neither man has earned a vote from me ever since I became eligible to vote.
