a different kind of logic

Christopher Hayes put up a post back in 2004 when campaigning for Kerry about what it takes to convince an undecided voter about anything. Lesson learned: you can't really reason with them.

Which makes me think to a certain degree, if people are going to make idiotic uninformed choices about their votes, why not just let people buy votes? Free markets always work, right? At least it would be somewhat more predictable, the candidate with the most money raised would win, and since money equals speech, according to Mitch McConnell and campaign finance nut jobs, then why not let money equal votes?

Yes I'm being sarcastic. But the reality television show election I'm watching at the moment is somewhat blowing my mind.
