La Resistance Lives On!

In Winning Campaigns Online, there is a section about the "undead" campaign. That is, campaigns that do not solicit votes, but only want the money of their supporters. In fact, the book makes the point that in the 2000 Republican Primaries, Gary Bauer posted "good news" that he was running third in the Iowa polls, even after he had already finished fourth. This made me start thinking about the solicitation of funds after campaigns. Many campaigns fail to raise enough money during the campaign to pay their expenses. That is why they continue to raise funds even after the election. But on the Internet, especially without truthful information, this type of deceitful fundraising raises a question of ethics. This is clearly an unethical practice. I am anxious to see if this will continue to be a common practice, especially with the fundraising race towards the next Presidential election.
