Absolutely not . They might have the money of a couple of rich backers instead of voters . The popularity of a candidate is not and should not be viewed by how much money he or she has in their back pockets . There are more poor people in corporate America , than rich . What dose that tell me ? That tells me corporate America backs these candidates . Cooperate America backs these candidates for the soul reason of having a high ranking official to lobby , Taxes , trade and guidelines that will benefit their businesses .

The only reason people vote for a certain candidate in this way is the fact they think the candidate has the popular vote , because they have big money behind them. Its wrong , and it should be done a different way . It has become a trend in America that to protect it's people , cooperate America has the biggest say , to who they want in office . Why ? Cooperate America supplies the jobs that put people to work , the people that work pay the Governments pay checks . The Government lobbies all the guide lines to protect their interest at home and abroad .

Industry has their States Governors lobby to congress and the President , when problems arise that hinder fair trade . They get the workers that work for them to write the Governors to put pressure on them as voters . In the long run you can see the overall picture and scheme of things and how they are manipulated . America has been brain washed in to this type of thing since Wall street crashed in the twenties . If you want to believe fund raising is a good indicator go right a head . I plan to make my own decision how ever good it may do .
