Money makes the World Go

Money makes the World Go Round - The Minnesota GOP has its own campaign finance debate going on.

Brian Sullivan echoes the complaints most conservatives have against campaign spending limits - because they leave the liberal media as the ultimate arbiter of what information reaches the public. If Sullivan and his privately-funded (thus unregulated) campaign happen to win the endorsement and the election (which is unlikely,I think), look for massive state and national handwringing about the power of money in politics - the kind that, for some reason, didn't happen after John Corzine won New Jersey's 2000 Senate campaign with 60 million in private spending, or Mark Dayton outspent Rod Grams by severalfold in their Senate race.

Corzine and Dayton are Democrats, of course.
