We all know that politics and money "go together." The conventional wisdom says that it takes money to get elected.. But does more money always mean a better chance of winning? Is it just about advertising? And is this how we really want things to be, anyway?

Our guests were Judy Blaseg (Principal, Blaseg/Hansen), Jeff Blodgett (Executive Director of Wellstone Action), and Bob Collins (Senior Editor of Minnesota Public Radio).
