The coming Democratic restoration in 2012 ramping up. With the help of some very, shall we say, less than wise GOP positions. The State House and Federal Houses, could be put back in order.

RGA Shatters Fundraising Records, Raises $22.1 Million « Republican Governors Association

Quote:
The Republican Governors Association announced raising $22.1 million for the first half of the year, eclipsing the amount raised for the entire year in 2007, the last comparable election year. The RGA’s 2011 fundraising total also significantly outpaces that from 2008 and 2009.

sure, just like your side didn't think the GOP had a chance of taking over the house; even up to a few weeks before the election and just like blogs like are reading predicted the demise of the Republican party after the 2008 election. We will wait and see, but don't start your celebration just yet.

As long as millions in labor union money is allowed to flood into elections I have no problem with corporate money flooding in as well. You can't have it both ways.

Wrong. Right-leaning groups account for 6 of the top 9 that give money to candidates. Unions can't even begin to keep up, especially when the corporate backed candidates like Kasich and Walker do everything they can to dismantle those unions.
