Money really is everything when it comes to winning an election, unless you are Mitt Romney. This is really simple, when it comes to a tight race, every dollar counts. One more attack ad or one more minute of air time might influence the average voter rght before they cast their ballots. This upcoming general election will exemplify that as well. Despite GOP low-ratings, the race still seems tight. Many people will contribute to their favorite candidates so that they could win. They know that money is HUGE, and judging by recent trends which point to more and more expensive campaigns, that will not change any time soon.

Group: Money is everything
Money really is everything when it comes to winning an election, unless you are Mitt Romney. This is really simple, when it comes to a tight race, every dollar counts. One more attack ad or one more minute of air time might influence the average voter rght before they cast their ballots. This upcoming general election will exemplify that as well. Despite GOP low-ratings, the race still seems tight. Many people will contribute to their favorite candidates so that they could win. They know that money is HUGE, and judging by recent trends which point to more and more expensive campaigns, that will not change any time soon.
Group: How money influence politics
Money is just one of the ways to influence a way candidates campaign. Money can be a important factor for even a outcome of a party or presidential nomination. What important about money is the amount of money and the person that donate to a candidate influence heavily on the campaign. For example in Barack Obama campaign, Oprah endorse Barack Obama in presidential election and gave him amount of money. The fame of Oprah easily gave voters to Obama, along with the sum of money that greatly help Obama to spread his support through the country. In democratic election, since election for a democratic candidate still going, both candidate have spent all their money in the election the only way to keep campaigning is more money.
Group: The Influence of Money
Money influences politics in a lot of ways. The Illinois primary may be over, but Obama and Clinton still have a lot of delegates to win over before one can be chosen for the final election. However though, Money doesnt influence so much here as it does build up for later. Delegates are flesh and blood people so once theyve made up their mind, they probably wont change it. The money to organizations will donate your money to candidates who front their view, which is, in my opinion, a better option. Why donate to one candidate who might not win just to support your view? support all of them who do and maybe one of them will win. As far as delegates go however, not much money will make a difference one way or the other.
Group: Money's influence in elections
You can use money to support your candidate. This candidate can use your money to pay for things such as more television advertisements. His name becomes more recognized and he has a better chance of attracting more voters since they will now be more familiar with that candidate. You can support your candidate in the primary and general elections as well as other ways. As an individual you can donate $2,300 in the primary and $2,300 in the general election. This however does not count the money you can give to a political action committee or to a national party committee. The total amount is a huge sum that you can contribute to help a candidate that you like. He can use this money to spread his message and become more recognized.
