Some claim it does when they see it going into democratic SuperPacs......

No, money doesn't always = votes, but it does buy influence (And Florida Supreme Court justices.) and it does pay for a whole lot of propaganda. Doesn't it?

If I had my way, political campaigns would last maybe two months, party primaries for a month. Nomination. Debate for a month. Election. All funded with public money, equally distributed, no outside donations or private funding allowed. Your vote is your voice, your money stays in your pocket, no matter who you are.

But, I'm nobody.
