Get rid of money in politics and you get rid of the 2 party system. Put a very low cap on how much one person (or entity) can contribute to a campaign and all the sudden a third party has a chance. When you get giant corporations donating unlimited amounts of money to one candidate or the other (and in a lot of cases to both candidates) then a lesser known third party candidate has no chance in hell.
Votes win elections, but when those votes are based on media exposure and how well someone knows a candidate, then money talks.
