Our Country is Based on Democracy, so why isn't our Election System More Democratic?

Guest Meredith Mcgehee discusses the issue of unfair advantages in the Presidential Election process created by money. The cost of televised advertisement accounts for a good portion of the money candidates need to be successful; therefore, by allowing some candidates to access it for free it would help to "even the playing field." She also mentions past elections where each party was given a grant at the last stretch of the election so that their focus could be shifted more towards promoting their message rather than their financial influence.
