In the money department.
Yesterday's Globe and Mail reports that the gap between Team Blue and Team Red is widening both in bringing the green and spending it.
Personally, and I know I am in the minority, I like the American style of fundraising, i.e. no limits.

Hey, I like that 'style' of fund-raising too... why is that thinking 'in the minority' though?
ReplyDeletePlease respond svp ;-)
There are limits actually in the US, at least in Presidential elections. Each American citzen can donate $2300 total in the primary and $2300 total in the general election.
ReplyDeleteObama actually raised the most from people who donated $100 or less. The guy had 14,000,000 donors in total across the US (which is literally more than 100x more donors than the Liberal have had in any given year). If the limits were lowered to where we have them in Canada he still would have killed the competition. To say we should have no limits basically says we can't appeal like Obama did to lower and middle income individuials and we need wealthy ones to prop us up. I don't believe that - I think we need to go after the small donors more aggresively.
