We’ve just got to change the rules of the game entirely. A legally limited campaign season (maybe 6 months, tops), a legally limited and sane campaign budget for each candidate (so that candidates are not judged by how good a smarmy fundraiser they are, but by their policies). Eliminate all PACS, stop passing around contributions, bribes, threats and promises like drunken pirates with rum. University fundraising has gotten just as bad and just as widespread. We need transparency, integrity, you know the drill…
