Fire Alarm Companies

fundraiser ends donors large and small disappointment. So, Cui bono? Media buyers and media

What is all this money, the most well-funded presidential race ever buy?

There are 750 million to the president, $ 800 million for Mitt Romney. And then there are a couple of hundred more in funds from Super Pac

What people put all this mass is entering politics? Or maybe a better question: how people still fall for it

Here are the policies that have contributed:

private equity Democratic Massachusetts, who began building a political career. He was richer than me, by a factor of 100, probably, and yet as reliable as the rain returned again and again to order checks. (. Once I heard that the Massachusetts governor could find someone he wanted to Harvard, I told him that I wrote these commands to my children) But he never won - and yet, unfortunately, on my dime, he said. A written check after check out so he can run and lose and come back for more.

My other check was Bill Clinton in 1992. I wanted something specific: an advertisement for a book he wrote. I knew a fundraiser for the campaign who said that if I reached the maximum individual contribution, he took my request for an advertisement directly to the candidate - a deal he said. The last time I saw it, became my check folded in his wallet.

The next day was, unfortunately, died in a plane crash. But not before my check deposited. Therefore, no propaganda, no thank you - but, with thousands of others, I received my one and only by invitation inaugural

Sheldon Adelson, has been one of the largest consumers in this country (some estimates put the cost up to $ 100 million), mainly from Newt Gingrich, and now Romney, who accompanied McCain and his environment on his recent trip to Israel. This could be what Adelson wants: a journey of great man, just press a personal sense of the suggestion of bully Israel-USA, a bit of pride based on faith. But do you get a real influence?

certainly does not seem a coincidence: the game self-made tycoon and the Jewish upper class sober Mormon. Let's be practical: what becomes Adelson and its investment policy, is a monster pain in the ass from the town of Romney. Politicians spend the same amount of time raising money because there is a shift of people who gave them. Precisely because Adelson will think you are owed large, that is to be avoided, mocked, manipulated by a White House Romney (if). Dollars to donuts, the bitterness is that Adelson will get.

However, his age and with its $ 25 billion, can be something of a late start of the public not expensive for him (most of the largest contributors to the campaign are men age ). But even then, I bet it becomes ashes: there are a lot of press for donors

policy is the province of the sad and plaintive, perhaps especially when, after paying, people feel cheated in particular. (Or you have paid, they feel they have the right to self-expression.) The disappointment of many of the manifesto in 2008, Barack Obama supporters feel is undoubtedly strengthened by the fact that in this great wave of small contributions, they had to pay for the privilege.
But someone has to leave something valuable in this election $ 2 billion, with a man who is elected.
