Many important rhetorical questions have been posited by commenters here today, and I think they deserve some real consideration.
Who has the money to run for office, and is there not a drastic need for campaign finance reform?
Who can bear under media (and Intertubes) scrutiny to survive the campaign process? (Not I!)
Did Obama's incredible fundraising on the Web change public financing forever? What is the future of campaign financing?
Why has most of the nation's money stayed in the hands of the very few, and how can that change? Who is most threatened by "spreading the wealth" and why is their view so myopic?
Who, besides the moneyed oligarchy, feels good about this widening disparity of wealth?
Has nepotism always been part of this culture and how can that change? (Besides my campaign of "Everyone OUT of the Pool!") Do we simply vote against incumbents willy-nilly or do we elect on issues?
