Money wins. It's just that simple. But, it's not over.

When you get outspent exponentially, we all lose. Citizens United my big hairy ass.

Don't ever give up.

We will win. Eventually, they will all be dead. Zombie season.

Let's kick their asses next time. Ground game.

Are you with me?

The amount of money they have on their side is clearly an unequaled advantage. I still do blame the Democratic party to its lackadaisical involvement in the campaign. The party was dragged into the campaign IMO and the support preferred to Barret was moreorless lukewarm at best.
The Democrats better prepare for the onslaught of money and the negative advertisements that will be unleashed against their candidates including President Obama. And if Democrats hesitate in any way to match the rePIGs, the will be inundated totally.

And now that Walker has won and by extension initiated the demise of union, rePIGs will take this nationwide and before long unions will play lesser and lesser role in elections (state and national). I predict that the Democratic party leaders want it this way because it make it easier for them to say that they must cozy up with corporations and big business in order to get donations. Thus us little people will be guaranteed to be ignored more and more. God help us when this start happening!
