Election cost

I think there may be a correlation between the historical impact of the election and the amount of money put into it. Or maybe the correlation is between the importance of the election and the amount spent.

I think the increase in the amount of fund raising on part of the democrats shows the belief supporters have in Obama.

Each election, the amount of money raised and spent increases. This gives a glimpse of what is to come for future presidential elections. This may be the world's priciest election yet. But given the increases each election, four years from now, will be the most expensive election the world has seen, and the trend will continue.

The only reason the trend of increasing cost of elections will break is if the the election and change of president is not historical and the state of the country is better, in terms of economy, war, and the environment
