When I ran a quick tally on these statistics, I find some interesting numbers. We have started hearing a big to do about Pres. Obama and his super pac.
As I tallied the figures: Republican Pres. Candidates 77+ million dollars between the lot of them. The only listed Super Pac dedicated to Pres. Obama 4.5 million dollars. These figures don't include the money that the candidates, themselves, are spending.
A little hard to hammer on Obama and his super pac that is dedicated for his re-election, when the bulk of the Republican candidates agenda has been criticism of Pres. Obama. They bite one another occassionaly, but their main target has been Obama and trying to convince the Republican voters that they are the most conservative and the most opposed to Obama's liberal programs. And, they consistently tie all the liberal political agenda to Obama, personally.
Total of all Super Pacs show the Republican leaning pacs have collected 84.6 million while the Democrat leaning pacs have collected about 13.7 million.
If the Republicans succeed in beating Obama and gain control of the legislature, it will be a little hard not to believe that MONEY bought the presidency and the legislature.
