How does that happen if it's all about the money?

Did Cantor spend 5 times more money than Brat or not?



Why do you believe candidate 1 when you know he isn't telling the truth and vote for him anyway?
Answers:
1) others had lots of money behind them as well -- including the Koch's.
2) Cantor also didn't campaign. One can always find outliners on a statistical analysis. That's why in statistics we throw out the high value and the low value.

So it's not just the money?

Cantor did take the election for granted. Is Sanders doing so well in New Hampshire and Iowa because of money or his message?

Interesting indeed. "More than a dozen of the elite donors were born outside the United States, immigrating from countries like Cuba, the old Soviet Union, Pakistan, India and Israel."

"Most of the families are clustered around just nine cities. Many are neighbors, living near one another in neighborhoods like Bel Air and Brentwood in Los Angeles; River Oaks, a Houston community popular with energy executives; or Indian Creek Village, a private island near Miami that has a private security force and just 35 homes lining an 18-hole golf course."
ugh!

Yep, lets get their names out there: STAND up and take a bow proud folks.
