Is that fact good because it implies they’re probably going to win against their crusty republican competitors?

I think it’s rather chilling that there is such a close connection between money (especially when you consider where the money stems from) and political success in the US.

Freakonomics touched on this. IIRC their conclusion is that more money isn’t necessarily the CAUSE of winning. It is that people are more willing to back who they think will win.
