Voters are in the dark on campaign spending<\/a>
\nE.J. Dionne Jr | October 25, 2010 | The Washington Post<\/p>\nImagine an election in a Third World nation where a small number of millionaires and billionaires spent massive sums to push the outcome in their preferred direction. Wouldn’t many people here condescendingly tut-tut over such a country’s “poorly developed” sense of democracy and the inadequacy of its political system?<\/p>\n
That, of course, is what is going on in our country as you read this. If you travel any place where there is a contested House<\/a> or Senate<\/a> race, you are bombarded with attack ads, almost all against Democrats, paid for by groups that do not have to reveal where their money comes from.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
