I've been too busy studying for various tests and quizzes, writing papers, and draining the water out of my Jeep. Damn thunderstorms.

Why read, when we have sweet TV to nourish our brains with the hilarious exploits of six Friends living in New York. And a talk show psychiatrist making hilarious farcical mistakes! Look at the dog! It's funny!

Sounds like Mr. Smith doesn't believe money influences a person's voting habits.
Sounds like the whole debate between popular v. elite democrats. The popular viewpoint would be that large contributions from big corporations limits the power of the individual citizen to have their voices heard.
The elite, viewpoint, of course, is that the individual citizens don't know what is best for them, and they should just leave it in the hands of people who know best.
Both parties have members of both groups. No one can argue that any recent leaders of either party haven't been elite. Al Gore served a lifetime in politics, while George W. Bush was raised within a powerful political family. Another examples would be the Kennedys, although certainly their political influence has increased since JFK and RFK.
(*ahem* Note I said "democrats" not "Democrats." I'm not speaking of members of an individual political party, but those who participate in the Democratic way of government)

Guess I won this one (by Omega's definition, at least).
