yahoo article -- how the race slipped away

not sure if this is a thread elsewhere but this article claims his biggest problem was a cash short fall after he won the primaries, he was out fund raising, while Obama attacked him.

did it ever occur to him to write a check to himself? He's got millions, and didn't bet on himself. How dumb is that?

more convincingly than the rest of the losers who actually thought that they were fit to run the country.

And fyi, all the fucking money in the world would not have bought that asshole the election. The premise is pure denial. The same denial that all the trolls and R's and teabags will be lolling in for weeks.

So please, no crocodile tears for the shithead.

Adelson, the Kochs and Rove's pals all lost their investment. RMoney kept his--as usual.

He may not live in the White House, but he saved enough to go buy him and Ann ten more mansions.

Throw in massive voter disenfranchisement attempts and disregard for the expanding minority demographics, Willard screwed himself. There was plenty of money, but, again, Willard is NO BUSINESS MAN.
