Oh, it was Sandy’s fault, too.
The Obama campaign, meanwhile, didn’t realize it needed the help of Super PACs and thought not engaging in the first debate would have been a good idea.
This is all it costs apparently for status quo… “Campaign finance filings with the government now show that the cost of the 2012 U.S. presidential race has surpassed $2 billion, a new record,” AP writes.
“After vowing not to spend any money on behalf of Todd Akin's U.S. Senate bid, national Republicans pumped $760,000 into the Show-Me State just a few days before voters went to the polls,” Gannettwrites. “New campaign finance filings show that the National Republican Senatorial Committee sent $360,000 to the Missouri Republican Party's federal campaign committee on Nov. 1. And the NRSC —which is charged with electing GOP candidates to the Senate — sent another $400,000 on Nov. 2.”
PoliticalWire: “Mitt Romney's presidential campaign had $25.7 million left in the bank days after the Nov. 6 presidential election, Reuters reports.”

If Mr. Romney drank that could have paid for one hell of a bender to drown the sorrows of the loss.
Send the 25 million to Washington to help pay down the debt Bush created.
Maybe pay for the cab ride home for Willard's staffers. Willard cancelled their credit card when they tried to pay their cab fare.
With all the talk about Romney losing with Latinos, I find it striking that the Republicans are fine with losing the Northeastern white folks. I mean, Romney lost the state where he was governor, for crying out loud. He lost in New Hampshire, where he has a vacation home, and which I would call his most natural "base." He lost the whitest, oldest state in the union, Maine.
When a traditional Northeast Republican like Olympia Snowe gets called a RINO, and retires early in disgust at the partisan gridlock in Washington, you know the Tea Party types have gone too far.
