Money Talks
Rove at WSJ cruelly suggests it wasn’t the Change Hoping that pushed Obama over the top and into office. It was the cash. And he adds:
No presidential candidate will ever take public financing in the general election again and risk being outspent as badly as Mr. McCain was this year. And even liberals, who have long denied that money is political speech that should be protected by First Amendment, may now be forced to admit that their donations to Mr. Obama were a form of political expression.
It is time to trust the American people and remove limits on how much an individual can donate to a campaign. By doing that, we can design a system that will be much more open by requiring candidates to frequently report donations in an online database … That would give voters the tools they need to determine if a candidate is getting too much from unattractive people.
