Or is the man with little gold, fewer voters and a fractured party destined to become President against all the odds?

The answer to this question likely rests with the conservative base of the Republican Party which is clearly not happy with the notion of supporting John McCain for President of the United States. The question is, - can conservatives really stomach a president Hillary or president Obama any better?

Come November, it is the votes that will be counted, not how much money a candidate raised or spent in their pursuit of the Oval Office. In a way, electing the candidate who raised and spent the least would be a victory of sorts for the American people who have come to believe that elections are simply about money. Still, it cost a lot of money to win favor with American voters.

The golden rule will apply, at least to some degree. McCain will have to find a way to raise more money just to be in the game on a national level. To do that, he will have to find a way to connect with disenchanted conservative members of his own party and to do that, he will have to right some of his past wrongs against conservative principles and the base of his party who still believe in those values.

The golden rule is still alive and well, but it may not be the primary factor in the ultimate outcome of the 2008 election cycle and that would be a good thing!
