My wide breath of experience gives me a lot of things to reflect on. He is raising money, but doesn't want it to be all that is talked about. Curtis Blackwood ran against Hefner with little money and a lot of door to door visits, and he lost. It costs a large amount of money to run for Congress. It is disturbing that it costs so much.
All politicians talk about is money.
It undermines the campaign. I want to talk issues and get enough money along the way. Money became important when television became the major way to reach voters. It has always taken money to mount a campaign, but it took a quantum leap with television. Johnson used a infamous nuclear bomb television spot against Goldwater and the power of television was discovered.
