As I understand it, several court decisions have equated money with speech regarding campaigns. that makes it difficult to limit spending under the 1st amendment.

That would be the present "conservative court".

The longer the campaign the more money needed to buy commercials. The more money needed the more corporate donations, etc.

Also, it's capitalism applied to politics. The individual better at seeking money gets the bigger market share. Purchased with advertising dollars.

It's not so much a rule as it is a fact.



I'm just stating the objections, not owning them.

the candidate with the most yard signs WINS. once upon a time, had a conversation with a gentlemen whose wife was running against a local opponent. he graciously explained the "he with the largest advertising budget wins" philosophy. it doesn't matter if Mickey Mouse is running, if Mickey has the most yard signs, you can bank on one thing: Mickey Mouse will WIN.
