Of course not, but that is an exceptional situation. In a letter to an editor 
one 
has to generalize, and generalizations will have exceptions. Michael has two 
main 
advantages: he is charismatic, and he is getting donations from the same people 
who donated to his presidential race, and who expect to do the same for his 
next 
presidential race. If all of Michael's donors were also donating to other 
Libertarians, we might have to identify a corps of patriots who also donate, 
but 
in major campaigns, like national or state races, the special interest money 
will 
almost certainly overwhelm what even Michael can raise. People are donating to 
Michael because he is Michael, not because he is a Libertarian.
