This episode is called "Show Me the Money" because money - like it or not - is what drives politics, even on the local level.  Host Kyle Blakely's guest is Mark Waller.  Mark is a long-time participant in the political process turned consultant and analyst.  The pair look at how much the candidates have raised and where the money is coming from.  In politics, money buys influence.  So, where it comes from will also give you an idea of who might have influence if they get elected.
