This has been the most expensive election in human history, 6 billion $ spend in total (1 billion by each campaign and another 4 by interest groups on both sides)
My question now is, if the $ have become the main factor to take into account in future elections.
Yes Romney is a millionaire, but his party financial system didn't allow him as much money as Obama. And Obama is a better fundraiser then Romney (at least over the years), he also has a better party financial system that allows him to spend more. Obama is also able to get more from individual middle income families (as he was able to prove in the mccain ellection).
