That’s what the Virginian-Pilot said in their latest “too much money in politics” editorial. After citing Warner’s 5.1 million in the bank, the Pilot said:
“It’s July, so most folks have no idea who is running when or for what. They just pull out their checkbooks and stroke a donation to the first guy who comes begging.”
It’s the newspaper’s view that Mark Warner’s contributors are idiots who write checks to the first schmuck who asks.
I won’t argue.
But I will argue their claim that most campaign money goes to political consultants. Media Advertising gets BY FAR the biggest share of campaign money.
