Money money money, it's a big factor in these races. This race is said to end up being the costliest campaign in history. Both parties are said to have topped or be closed to topping 2 billion dollars worth of costs with ads, direct mail, and all the other forms of getting their words out.
Both president Obama and Romney were at 1.5 billion at the end of September. And although Obama has not yet provided us with the amount of money his campaign has cost for the month of October, the Romney campaign has said to have raised 111.8 million in the first two weeks of the month.
They both have their fair share of donors, whether they wealthy or smaller donors. People are committed to this campaign and committed to their parties.
This is an important issue, I want to hear what you think about it. How you think money impacts elections and what role it plays in American politics. This would make you part of the bigger conversation
