I wanted to have a party when Scott Walker won in Wisconsin. Funny how the Left was never bothered by the undue influence of money when Obama won.
ReplyDeleteI think people greatly exaggerate the power of the big campaign war chest. Yes, it certainly helps. But there are a lot of examples of candidates who won after being largely out-spent. When people ask if Walker won because he raised so much more money, I want counter that by asking, “Did he raise so much more money because he had so much more support, and is that the real reason he won?”
I actually read some materials that the media and Left have lied about the amount of money that Walker outspent Barrett on - 30 million to 25 million. That is not 8 to 1 or 7 to 1. I hope this is a good sign for Romney, I hate to say this, but I think he has to steal a state like Wisconsin to have a chance. It is early, but Obama's electoral path looks much more doable.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Patrick. I don’t think Romney has an easy road ahead of him by any means, which is amazing considering Obama’s track record. It just goes to show what we’re really up against.
