The joke's on them: Republican's accidental stimulus [View all]

So, the GOP and other groups plan to spend over a billion dollars on the election. That's an awful lot of money pumped into the economy. It will disproportionally affect swing states but it will definitely stimulate economies. At all levels. From advertising agencies to coffee shops (boots on the ground need coffee - except the Mormons, LOL)

So, will the GOP's accidental stimulus get Obama reelected? That would be some sweet, sweet irony. And some poetic justice.
