There is no way with the secret ballot to check if they actually voted for you after taking the money, but most will.<br /><br />Its not like you need everyone. How many people voted in the last election? A million? You really need only about a tenth of the electorate, which leaves more than enough money for your bagmen and any consultants.<br /><br />This is the third time that Bloomberg has spent enough money that he could literally have bought the election just by handing out cash to enough voters, and no one has pointed this out. Its supposed to be the Democrats' mistakes this time. This isn't a presidential election. The city population is 8 million (with a ton of people not registered, or even citizens), not a nation of 300 million. You can do alot with a presidential race size budget with a much smaller electorate.prodigal sonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-86849024483803444312009-11-28T15:46:10.792-05:002009-11-28T15:46:10.792-05:00He is that much poorer than when he began!!He is that much poorer than when he began!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
