Wasted Money! Limitation Needed?

The amount that could be spent in campaign advertising is said to possibly hit unprecedented levels by the Obama campaign. So not as to only pick on Obama, McCain is also spending lots of money as well but Obama largely outdoes him.

What's significant is where Obama is getting all his money. Average contributions are surprisingly only $84. That to me says a lot: First, ordinary people are giving him money because they believe in him...it's not just a bunch of rich guys behind big desks that donate. Second, his campaign is obviously well organized and astonishingly steady. The amount of money spent is simply due to the amount of money recieved. I think Romney would have spent equally as much because he would have recieved equally as much as Obama. The amount of money is relative and simply reflects the times we live in. It will only get worse.
