Is that right? I've heard so much conflicting analysis regarding money in politics that any consensus, if there is one, is that votes follow the more monied candidate but also that money naturally finds the likelier candidate anyway etc. with the cause being difficult to single out. Is money really the only (/largest) influence on that 3%? And why is it 3%, not 5% or 25%? How come it doesn't ever swing to 60% one party and the other 30%? Why is the party breakdown always so nearly even? Also, now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever known someone in that 3%. Who the fuck makes their mind up about something like that based on a 30-second ad spot?That 3%? That's all about money.
