1:17Now PlayingCan money buy an election?
Eric Wang argues it never has: Mike Bloomberg spent a billion dollars of his with no success. Francesca Procaccini counters that the money settles a different question, long before a single ballot is cast: who can afford to run at all, and how few names ever reach the ballot.
