Should the Number One Candidate Criterion be Ability to Buy TV Ads?

Should the Number One Candidate Criterion be Ability to Buy TV Ads?: February 24, 2006

"Should the Number One Candidate Criterion be Ability to Buy TV Ads?" by Rob Kall
Ask a political person about how to judge a candidate's viability, electability and potential and often, very often, the first criteria they use is the ability to raise money. That means the willingness to sit for four, six, eight hours a day, in a room, making phone calls asking for money. This is probably the number one criteria most beltway politicians judge candidates to be good or not. Let's take this a bit further. What do they use the money they raise for? The number one cost of a campaign is TV advertising. It can suck up millions of dollars.
Take the fund raising out of politics and you make it so much cleaner, so much more free from influence buying and peddling. This is not optional. It is something we must do to rescue politics from the dangerous downward cycle of corruption it has been spiralling into.
Considering the voting public's low opinion of the media, with less 2% considering it excellent and only 13% considering it good or excellent, it is no wonder that the public feels the media should give up ad time for the price of democracy.

Reinstate Ohio Recount Lawsuit "by David Cobb, Green Party

The absence of procedures to conduct a recount of votes cast on electronic voting machines; and Inadequate procedures to ensure uniform and proper treatment throughout the state of access by recount observers to provisional, absentee, and spoiled ballots, to poll books, to voting machines and to other materials.The Ohio election and recount have been the subject of a number of investigations and reports. A report by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee's Democratic staff states that there were massive and unprecedented voter irregularities and anomalies in Ohio. In many cases these irregularities were caused by intentional misconduct and illegal behavior, much of it involving Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell, the co-chair of the Bush-Cheney campaign in Ohio.
