In this hypo traditional campaigning requires around $1+ million per year to get and/or keep a house seat (plus all the other energy you have to expend to keep the peanut gallery PACs happy).
Let's assume they're at it 5 days/week and take a couple weeks off per year.

$1,000,000/50/5 = $4,000/day
Whew, that's a fundraising nut!
How much energy do you think it takes to rake in an extra $500 each work hour while doing important stuff like making laws?
That's more per hour than you make for the actual job. How would you prioritize?
