Bloomberg spent umpteen million dollars of his own dough, compared to a number significantly less for the other guy, in order to buy the election and he only won by 4%. I don't think elections can be totally bought. He won, but by so small a margin. There'll always be people salivating and waiting to pull the lever for whoever tosses them the most cash or favors. But public opinion, even ill-informed, is very powerful and should be given its due. Do you think George W. Bush would have won a hypothetical third term even if he spent $500 Billion?
