it would be naive to say that money doesnt effect the presidency, we have had zero poor/middle class pres. But to state that Conservative lobbiest have more power than liberal lobbiest is also naive. If the defense contractors are so powerful why did clinton get in? That guy slashed the military budget...

As for you link. Somewhat entertaining, but I have seen recent studies that show pro kerry article and pro bush article being compared. on Fox it was like 60/40 bush, on other networks, ABC, CNN, NY times, CBS, NBC, the splits ranged from 65/35 to 85/15 for kerry. A majority of TV and Print media is liberal biased, where as Audio aka radio is generally Conservative.
