Show Me the Money
If you are interested in learning about the role of money in U.S. politics, I strongly urge you to be a regular visitor to the web site of the Center for Responsive Politics. They have a storehouse of financial data on the role and influence of big money in politics and government. Among other data, of particular interest is an excellent chart which illustrates just how much money is involved in making a run for President.
