Will Money Buy The Presidents Job?

Two Democratic presidential candidates broke previous fundraising records during the first three months of the year, with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton setting a high bar of $26 million in new contributions for the quarter.

This is scary, to answer you question.....YES, unfortuately.

If politics isn't about money, what is it about?

I would like to think it is about public service. However looking at wanna-be-gov-nuh John Breaux's multi-million dollar mansion in Maryland sorta makes me doubt that.

Who wants a leader that's not smart/talented/driven enough to be financially successful?

Then their credentials will speak for themselves. Bush has degrees from Harvard and Yale, and served as Governor of Texas before being elected President twice.

You think Paris Hilton will have a similar life story just because of her inheritance?
