Qusetion of the week 4/22

This again IS NOT A QUESTION! Plus we already answered how we feel money will effect the '08 race, and if we feel it should. Does this mean I need to get creative again? YES. So since I am not feeling incredibly creative today my question is: Opinion: WHO do you feel will be impact the most positively and negatively by the amount of money they are able to raise? Along with from whom the money came?

I think that Hillary will be most effected negatively, since yes she does have a lot of money for her lists, compiled while living in the Whitehouse, the majority of her donors have already maxed out, and with the former president's lists will be seen as "old money." She has lots of money, but not as many loyal "grassroots" type of supporters. Her money situation further proves that, to use Bill's old slogan, she's more of the same vs. change.

As for who benefits that's a good question. I feel raising money just to show that a candidate is supported, not because they really need millions of dollars to "get their message out." News flash, a microphone or better yet a bullhorn, and standing in the center of a busy city, where the media would be sure to follow a candidate, does not cost even a couple hundred dollars. To much money causes waste when the money could go toward less wasteful causes. With the millions most major candidates already have, who knows we could have a new cure for a disease. But enough of my rant and back to the question, I think anyone who would enter the race later such a Fred Thompson or Newt Gingrich would benefit, because if they would raise money to run a competitive campaign it would not just be a waste of time raising money they wouldn't use, since their process would have to be streamlined to "catch up" to those already in the race.

P.S. next week someone PLEASE take some initiative and write a question...it's that hard
