We could always use Canada's system.  Allow only federal funding for campaigns, and make sure all the major candidates receive the same amount of money.

This way, you can't buy an election.

I like this ^^^^^^^^^^ to a point, I don't want my federal money pumping into some campaign I don't support - I do like the point of candiates and same amount of money but maybe do what they do now by raising it and have set max amount they are allowed to have and then someone not associated with the candidate to regulate where the money goes (so we don't have a certain candidate spending that money on $400 haircuts)
