Money in politics

http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/05/17/candidates.finances.ap/index.html

I have long been a supporter of campaign finance reform. I have always felt that the current system supports the idea of a popularity contest that can only be won by the one with the most money. Someone like my very own dad doesn't have a chance in hell because A) He doesn't have the money, and B) He's too common of a man despite his uncommon personality.

We should allot the same amount of money and advertising to each candidate and let them duke it out. That way we're sure to allow for the common American the chance to serve their country's highest office.
