Big deal Quote by Sheldon Whitehouse

“Sometimes money isn't the determinant. But it sure as hell makes a huge difference. Nobody is saying "Well, thank God we don't need to raise money any longer." It's a very, very big deal to have money, and it is a very, very big deal to have more than your opponent.” quote by Sheldon Whitehouse
