1. The candidate that spends the most money spent does not always win the election.
2. Even if they did why is "re-election" different from "election"?
I 100% agree that money and lobbyist are a problem with our system, but that has nothing to do with "career politicians" because the same money has the same influence the very first time a new politician is elected.
