I'm looking forward to the Nevada rejection. That will be entertaining.

Hmm I thought it was en vogue to disparage candidates receiving financial support from hedge fund manager venture capitalist billionaire types.

yep, he put a lot of effort into NV and his supporters kept saying he could win the state caucus. He might give up one of these days, but his supporters won't I fear.

I don't think most Americans doubt big money is the major factor in elections.

Research | Americans for Campaign Reform

All across the board, they would like to see real reform of this process, however, this isn't how the "game" is played.

Right now Obama and Romney have tons of corp money.

In a way, you are right...but I can only speak for myself. I don't ever plan on giving up my support of most of the ideas and values that Ron Paul campaigns on. Whether it is Paul in the public venue, his son, Rand, or some other candidate I will continue to support the message.
