<p>Both sides have plenty of money. It just how they spend it that counts.</p>
<p>Also, the guy who gets elected is the guy who the average Joe would want to have over and drink a beer and barbeque with. It not always how I voted, but I have to tell you, I would have rather had a beer with Ronald Reagan than Jimmy Carter or Walter Mondale; I would have rather had a beer with GHW Bush than Michael Dukakis; I would have rather gone drinking with Bill Clinton than GHW Bush or Bob Dole (but I voted for both of those guys); and I would rather hang out with W than either Gore or Kerry. I think for the most part people just don’t want to vote for somebody they percieve as having a large piece of lumber stuck up their backside.</p>
