My main point was that if you're going to claim that Walker bought the election or that his spending binge distorted the vote, you need to give us an idea of what his vote share should have been if not for all the spending. I don't really know what it should have been, but his vote share from less than two years ago against the same guy (plus an incumbency advantage?) struck me as a good place to start. http://mischiefsoffaction.blogspot.com/2012/06/using-wisconsin-to-test-effects-of.html That guy is full of shit tejek. He needs a course in statistics. He should know you can't take one case and extrapolate from that. Everyone knows or should know, that whomever has the most money wins over 90% of the time. That is using thousands of elections, not one. This citizens United decision is as dangerous as if the government was controlling the media. Obama must be reelected to have any chance to get the SC to overturn it. I am also mad at Ginsburg for not quiting and letting Obama name a younger person to the bench. This right wing SC has been a 30 year work in progress and now they have complete control. Roberts is one of the most dangerous men in the country and the media refuses to point it out. He was one of the primary architects of the 2,000 election steal and Citiznes United. Wisconsin has emboldened the right wing billionaires who will spend infinite amounts of money as they can see the return they will get by controlling the congress and the country. For every billion they spend they will get 10's of billions back in better tax breaks and deregulation and freedom to lay waste to our country. The super pacs will use sophisticated equipment to single out every congressional nominee they can and cannot buy and even state races to see who they can beat or intimidate. These are the msot dangerous times for our coutnry since the civil war, IMO.
