Edwards, the guy with the big wallet, and Romney, the guy with the biggest wallet, are done and almost dead.
The Clintons actually left office, if I recall correctly, nearly bankrupt with Bill's very profitable big mouth getting them back into Richville.
Money of the size that matters is attracted to those perceived to be winning.
Money is not necessarily attracted to the message itself.
Hence McCain, who didn't have two nickels to rub together, suddenly gathering millions. Ditto sudden Obama's Clinton-like ability to raise money.

So in the end, it's still all about money. I know campaigning in a country this big isn't cheap, but it pretty much still boils down to the idea that if you dont have money to begin with, you dont even have a chance TO START! Look at how many people agreed with Chris Dodds policies on the CP thread a few days ago....the guy didnt even register a blip.
