If elections & party finances were measured in the 100's of thousands rather than millions, one on one would be the nature of election & not the circus we see in the US of A.JimmEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03703715618040666970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-70045524485859902672012-02-02T22:03:41.666-05:002012-02-02T22:03:41.666-05:00Probably the only time we've ever agreed on an...Probably the only time we've ever agreed on anything.

It will slope the playing field in ways proportional to a party's actual public support (which is how it should be). <br /><br />The intangibles are important too. The pride from doing it on your own will translate into success in other aspects of your operations.
