fjl2nd Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I think maybe the biggest losers of these elections were the Super PACs. Apparently, money doesn't always win. 80% of Super PAC money went to Republicans. Karl Rove was clueless on election night on Fox. He couldn't believe all of his money had no effect! Kudos to the American people for not being swayed by millions of dollars in TV ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Even with the success of President Obama's election. A very big loser is the "mainstream" media.

Chef Jim Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I'm not sure about this election cycle but I know who the big loser was election night. Diane Sawyer's AA sponsor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keukasmallies Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I take exception to the OP's statement that money doesn't always win; in fact, it does always win, e.g., free cell phones, food stamps, 99 weeks of unemployment, and the beat goes on....

ExiledInIllinois Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Whiny white males! You said biggest losers this election cycle... Whiny white males (WWM). It is pretty obvious that Karl Rove is their standard bearer. Think of all the good we could do with those Billions spent on a campaign, if only we had a small Government who kept within their means and controlling the Beast was seen as life and death Take America back! Yeah... And it would be 1856.. We'd be planting corn, sorghum and purple unicorns would fly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos to the American people for not being swayed by millions of dollars in TV ads. Wait.... Obama and his super PAC's out raised (became the first billion dollar candidate in history), outspent, and out advertised with negative ad buys in swing states (you didn't seem them in NY, but we sure did in Florida).

Chef Jim Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Redistribution of wealth!!!! So now you're on board with wealthy people (or people in general) spending money any way the want is actually redistribution of wealth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were do you get this Money doesn't always win? This was more towards the Super PAC's than the candidates. Republicans failed hard in the Senate with all the outside spending from Super PACs. Look at the Super PACs and outside groups broken down by party and money spent: http://elections.nyt...nditures/totals - Republicans run 11 of the top 12.

They are fading away in significance and influence..............and they know it. I completely disagree. Without the MSM, Barry loses this election big. If half the time that was spent on the "47%" video was spent on Jeremiah Wright, college transcripts, Fast & Furious, "I'll have more flexibility after my election," "You didn't build that," and Benghazi, Barry probably wouldn't have been a 1-term president, much less 2-term one.
