No one has gotten the nomination for either party without the most money since McGovern in 1972. In the general election, money counts, but it is secondary to issues or voter perception of the candidates. Also in 4 elections in the past 40 years third party spoilers helped change the party in power.

Undoubtedly, because the thing America admires more than anything is ostentatious displays of wealth.
In USA money = power.
Not that I would suggest for 1 minute that anyone could buy an election - perish the thought.
