Hi Kate,

You said, "People who are perfect for the posittion may not be able to pursue their interest in political office because they do not have the funds to create their own political campaign, or they may not have the multimillion dollar campaign donations that their opponent has."

I would add that, at least in view of campaigns in recent years, less money could equal less belligerant campaigns - if you have a limited amount of time for ads, you'd better spend your money promoting yourself rather than maligning your opponent.
