    What do these donors expect in return for their cash infusion?

    Campaign advertising is a big money-maker for the media, I guess. Gee, I long for something low-tech, like no-holds-barred open forums or town hall meetings where informed voters can get some straight answers, instead of sound bite pitches designed to get some knee-jerk response.

    BTW, anyone think that the MEC site has been revamped and is less user-friendly?
