It must be hard to meet the needs of the people, when you're constantly looking for the next dollar to pay for the best consultants, the choice television ads, the glossy handouts, the flashy website, and more. All of this to catch the attention of a distrustful and distracted electorate. One day we will demand more of the campaign process, but first we should demand more of ourselves. -RJ4US
