How liberals may have lost last nite (repost). [View all]

I felt like I needed to wait till the next day of the election to post my analysis, to let us be in the moment.
Now I feel like thier are some troubling aspects of the 2012 General Election.

There is no doubt that I believe that Americas choice to move Forward was the best one.The victories of Obama and the Democrats across the nation were hard and very challenging.However, lets look at the Money that was spent in this election with record donations on both sides and the influence of the super PACs.Even congressional races were highly financed.Victories gained by the American (really the center)left has showed that maby big money didnt really do much in corrupting the electoral process and is highly overstated?

To sum it all up I fear Citizens United is here to stay.
