The fundraising sport is now generally conceded to be the determinant of our elections, considering the amount of space the media devote to it.

Just tote up the dollar total and the winner is: democracy is dead, because the electorate lacks adequate intelligence.

Shall we point out the inaccuracies by Rev Moon's blogger? or is it coming down anyway?
