This week on Flash Talks Cash Andrew and Flash discuss the recent midterm elections through the mirror of major campaign finance reform changes made last year. These changes opened the door for huge corporate and usually anonymous contributions to be made to political organizations like "Crossroads for America", which are then funneled into partisan groups. This essentially means people with money can offer huge unbridled amounts of cash to nominees and cull favors from them in the future. Where does this leave the average voting joe? This episode was sponsored by Edwards of Surry VA.
