Elections cost a lot of money and money is in the hands of "capitalists"! No wonder fund raising is the key result area of all candidates. What is important is for the candidate to hand out the IOUs in a transparent manner as it is foolish to imagine there is no expectation of payback. Public funding of elections is no where in the horizon! Hillary is open about courting money from Wall Street, lobbyists and celebrities and in defense points out to Bill Clinton's record of being independent in his policy making despite tapping rich donors.
Edwards and Obama too have taken money from the rich - only they protest too much! Let the media keep a hawk eye on Hillary and expose her if she demonstrates that she is acting to appease her rich backers.
