Consider: If we took all the money out of campaigns, there’d be nothing to motivate the low-information voters to go to the polls. Then elections would be decided by the people who by their own volition read about politics all year long. And we don’t want those people picking our leaders; they’re weirdos.
That good point is Frank Fleming's conclusion, but it doesn't ruin the rest of the column.
