The next White House race is certain to break every spending record. And despite various attempts to curb the cash orgy that presidential politics has become, it will likely also spell the end of publicly financed campaigns.

"The 2008 race will be the longest and most expensive election in American history," warned Federal Election Commissioner Michael Toner. "We're heading into the first $1 billion election."

Things have gotten so out of hand that Toner estimated a prospective candidate needs to raise $100 million by the end of this year just to be "taken seriously."

"Call it a $100 million entry fee," he said.
