Unfortunately all this money will cause many well-qualified candidates a big pause, and perhaps a decision agains running in the next election. After all, real leaders want to help our country solve its problems, not spend hours per day raising funds to counter attack ads and lies. I hope the Supreme Court Justices take a good look at what their Citizens United decision did to our pool of candidates, and make a quick reversal. Money does affect elections, even if the rich don't buy every win. If only Rove puppets can affort to run, our democracy is in trouble.
