I understand what you are saying. And there are many examples of out-spent candidates triumphing in elections.

But still... one billion dollars (or five hundred million)... you can disparage that if you want... but I think it’s VERY risky to do so.

And the point of taking that risk is what? CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM?

IS THAT WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HERE????

“But still... one billion dollars (or five hundred million)... “

A billion dollars worth of repetitions of Obama’s worn out ideas and fault finding? A billion dollars of the sound of his voice? Or the voices of people we’ve come to disrespect? Or the voices of politicians representing yesterday’s establishment rather than today’s new blood?

Might be the less Obama spends the greater his chances of re-election.

Money isn’t everthing. Example 1 is Meg Whitman running for Governor of California. She spent an enormous amount of money to achieve nothing.

Through out her own political career Palin has always been out spent by 5-10 to one, with the media and conventional wisdom saying she had no chance, and in the end, she always wins.
