This article reviewed possibilities for presidential candidates to swoop up support for freshly abandoned presidential candidates (Edwards and Giuliani). It was said that Obama and Clinton scrambled for the funds and all that I could imagine were little piranhas with Obama and Clinton heads swimming towards the disposed of corpse that is fundraising for the resigned candidates.
After reading the King article, campaigning for funds and who is giving money to what and why, made me worry about our current campaigning system. Is it possible to limit the amount of funds that each candidate spends on campaigning?
If limits were set, maybe some of the time spent campaigning could be devoted to drafting pieces of legislation that would better the welfare of the citizens.
This is a class blog for the students of POLSCI 426: Congressional Politics at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.
