Perhaps a limit on contributions/spending... but then that would be unfair to special interest candidates.
Maybe opening up the debates to more candidates in alternative/grassroot parties that just don't have much $$$.
I don't know. The system may be busted beyond repair.
Ever look at the Australian elections?

LOTS of good stuff in there we could adopt!
