  Hendrick Hertzberg, in the urlLink The Talk of the Town , says the following: "The President will still outspend Kerry by something in the neighborhood of two to one, which may or may not be enough. Republicans will probably always have more money than Democrats, no matter how many reforms are introduced into the system, because Republican policies (in general, broadly speaking, with exceptions and caveats) favor large agglomerations of money. Democratic policies (in general, broadly speaking, with exceptions and caveats) favor large agglomerations of people. That’s why Democrats, though they have fewer dollars, are sometimes able to get more people to vote for them, and sometimes (the last Presidential election being a conspicuous exception) getting more votes enables you to win. Dollars don’t always trump people. That’s the beauty of democracy, when it works. " This is why voter registration matters. It's like the way Clinton attacked racial equality....helping the economically disadvantaged also helps a strong majority of people of color. Getting new people registered will get democrats elected.
